Mine's still not here :evil:

26 days now

cat_with_no_tail

Mine neither. That footage was actually filmed by someone who lives down the road from me who I recommended the camera to, who ordered it a week after me and received it on December 23rd :evil:

Not quite sure how that happened, but I'm not happy.

ordered one of these on the 31st Dec so lets see how long it takes to arrive, had email telling me that it may take 25 days due to xmas holidays. so hopefully intime for the final brass monkeys.

I can only get 45 minutes recording time using a 4gb class 4 card. I bought the 4gb card thinking I would get 2 hours. Anyone else find this is the same with theirs?

angrymeerkat

The recording format is pretty poor to be honest, not much compression, so 45 minutes will take up a full 4GB. I was hoping you would be able to trade off resolution for filesize, seems that's not the case.

Thanks angrymeerkat.

I get an hour on a 2 gb, that`s with the original muvi.

salsajake

when it has filled the memory card, does it save it automatically, or if you run out of space and then the battery dies, do you lose all the footage?

antfly

On mine it saves it when it fills but I don`t know about the battery as it`s never run out yet. I would think it would still save it unless it`s in the middle of a recording.

here is a short video shot down at Kirroughtree red route yesterday

http://vimeo.com/8530578

I have made the video a PIP (Picture In Picture) as a comparison between the 2 different cam mounts, I have also included the full resolution video near the end, the bike mounted cam video was pretty bad to say the least, the helmet cam was at the wrong angle, gonna be trial and error there 8) ...LOL

I also added some cling film to the lower half of the cams to protect the USB plug and the Micro SD card from any ingress of dirt....The bike mounted cam was attached to the front of the stem.

Nice stuff Davy-G, what video program did you use for that?

Davy-g

thanks for the comments

I used Sony Vegas Video with an NTSC Preset (as this is closer to the dimensions of the cam footage) I exported the finished video as .WMV with custom settings of 20fps and 640 x 480 aspect ratio

10 mins a gig is about right. I think I'm going to tbe heading back and seeing what the biggest card I can find is...

salsajake

My understanding is they can't take anything bigger than 8gb, at least I'm sure that's waht the Muvi details say

ScottAspect45

Just looking at these and im leaning towards going through a hong kong seller, rather than the chinese seller posted in these threads. Just due to the fact I normally get stuff from HK pretty quickly, compared to items from china taking weeks. Any thoughts?

Davy-g

file size for my 2 cams were 1 hour 6 mins @ 2.69GB and 2.97GB respectively

salsajake

ooh, that's about my average commute time, but sometimes its about 1:15 (headwinds etc) so I will have to get something bigger, sods law the numpty that has me off my bike will be seconds after the memory card filled up!

I've just stretched an elasticated tie around some of the vents at the front of my helmet and clipped the clip to that and it seems OK, albeit I haven;t tested on the road. Am going to have a fail safe ziptie and carabiner attached to a small loop going through the hole on the back of the camera, so if the elasticated tie fails, the camera just drops and hangs off the helmet., but so I can still remove it all easily enough.

Thats seems rather large TBH. The largest file on my camera from todays ride was

24:25 duration
352kbs bit rate
474mb file size.

I got similar i have a 23 min film - that was 316 mb

however i have another one that is 24 mins which is 829 mb, i guess it depends on what its having to record????

i was under the impression a 2gb card could record 2 hours worth of footage.

This a short video with a clip from both the mounts fitted on the bike

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5YZ47Uz23o

I am going to move the lower one forward a bit more so my legs do not get in the way. I did later try a elastic band round the legs of my shorts which held them clear of the lens more with both mounts.

Ordered

jonnyc2420

mines arrived - managed a 2 mins test run with good quality results, today but now its showing the red and blue lockout and even when i press the reset it goes back again - will leave it charging from pc overnight to see hwat happens- (its had a good few hours already + 1 1/2 hrs on mains)

just wondering if the green light on anyone els'es mains charger filckers when plugged in?

also the extreme sports pack has arrived - much the same as the stuff that came with the camera ecept camera does not clip firmy into these accesories - does have some handy mounting straps though.

Well, I deleted my last ones (because they were rubbish), but I was around the 3-3.5GB mark for about 45 minutes! Unless I did something stupid with not deleting old ones properly ("Emptying the trash"), was going on the amount of storage left on the card...

Actually, that's quite possible. :oops:

TheNorthernTrain

I have found it very hard to delete some files i recorded, they stayed on for ages saying they were locked, it was just a case of keeping on trying. I dunno if that is the fault of the camera, the card or the computer.

the data bitrate for some of the footage I shot on Sunday was between 10000-14744Kbs :shock: :shock: :shock: , that would explain the rather large files... :?

Is this the right piece of kit for 8GB, given the top reviews someone on here gave the Transcend? Not good technically, so need to make sure it fits!

strodey

Thats the one salsajake, i have the 4gb and it works a dream!

jonnyc2420

ok - after leaving it on pc charge all night it now seems to be working - took vid of my car trip to work and the clarity is amazing! its now sat on my pc charging again and this time the red light is on all the time and blue light is flashing.

so mine does the following:

red and blue on constant - locked out - needs a good re-charge
red on constant and blue light flashing - usb charging
red flashing and blue on constant - recording
red off and blue on constant - power on but not recording.

is everyone elses the same?
