The videos are shot
with a helmet mounted camera giving a real 'rider viewpoint' feel
for the trail.
Windows
Media Player 7 is the new standard for video play-back on the
web. You will need Windows 98, ME or 2000 to run it. Sorry it will
not work with Windows 95 or NT4. To run a quick test before
downloading the longer clips, try the Test
Clip which should fully load in under 5
minutes (if it takes longer you need to change something, you're
running SLOW) The clips should work with the latest version of Media
Player 6, for those with 95 or NT4.
QuickTime
basic is a free video player which can be downloaded and run on
any computer.
It's possible to get
these videos to start running before they are fully downloaded. In
Windows Media Player you may need to click the stop button on the
player, then click the play button twice (waiting a second or two between
clicks!) The
originals of these clips are over 50 times larger in file size. At
full quality on a standard 56K connection they would take up to two
days each to download!
The
playback speed of these videos is exactly as they were taken, they
have not been speeded up. We're flattered to hear that some of our
readers (viewers?) think they have! The digital video format used to
record them is time encoded, allowing exact verification of playback
duration.
