I got my bike cam video on the computer without issue (YES!). I found 3 good songs to put in the video and used my Adobe Soundbooth to mix them like a DJ would lol. I added the song then sped up the 20 minute video to 8 1/2 minutes so it fits with the songs. It's all ready to go, I just need to get it on YouTube.
I was a bit disappointed that the video was shaking so much, I mean from side to side because of the handlebars but when you are riding a bike you can't keep it from doing that lol. It is physically impossible to get the video to be still constantly the entire time. Especially when it's mounted to the handlebars. If it were mounted on my helmet then perhaps that would be different but on the other hand every time I move my head up or down or left or right or behind me, the video moves too so it sees everything I look at which would be way more annoying lol.

Bike Cam Video
I went back on the bike trail today with my camcorder hooked up to my mount that I made and when I came home I immediately hooked the camcorder up to the computer and it didn't fail the import, it failed on Saturday morning. I'm still confused as to why it did that but that's ok because watching the video showed me how much I need to stop moving the bike from left to right so much when video taping lol.
It's always a learning experience right?
So anyway, now that I have it on the computer I can make it go fast and add some music to it. It's a 20 minute video but I'm going to speed that up so it fits about 2 or 3 songs so hopefully about 8 or 9 minutes. I don't want to bore people too much but at the same time I don't want it to go so fast that you can't see what's happening you know lol.
So, I'm going to be working on that for awhile. I can't upload it to YouTube until I get some money because this program that I use which is the best program, Pinnacle VideoSpin. It's a free program with conditions. You get I think 2 weeks free use out of it then after that you have to pay $15 for the codec, otherwise you won't even be able to import your video into the software. I've tried other programs like windows movie maker, I also bought Adobe Premiere Elements 3 and those 2 programs won't let you make your movie for YouTube to be able to have it in widescreen. Your video ends up having the bars on top and bottom but also on the right and left. That's no good.
So, until I get the codec for it when I get money then I will upload that video. I'm also going to take the opportunity to do some other videos while I'm at it of some video games then just do them all on the same day.
