Baldonnell Air Spectacular 2000 Video Footage uploading advice

[joey1]

Hi All
I was having a root around in my attic (as you do) for Xmas decorations and came across my old Sony Handycam with Baldonnell Air Spectacular 2000 Video Footage of both days including: IAC, Meteor, Jaguar, Swiss F/18 Hornet..ECT  

In the process of viewing & converting to digital format and was wondering, since I'm new to uploading to Youtube/Facebook
Will it need to be compressed by much and are their Trade-offs or limits to the quantity and quality of footage allowed

Ill keep you posted of my progress and any advice on the above would be much appreciated thanks!! 

PS
Due to time constraints(work...) it may be a tad slow but ill give the IAC stuff Priority I'm looking forward to veiwing at a blast from the past

Hi Joey,

I took this info from the YouTube upload page:

About Uploading

    * Capture and Upload in High Definition!
    * Upload up to 10 videos at a time
    * Best video formats for YouTube
    * Up to 2 GB in size.
    * Up to 10 minutes in length.

While the highest quality you can manage is best you'll have to keep within the above guidelines. If you're living in Ireland I would hazard a guess that your broadband could be a constraint (unless you have access to superfast internet at work) with regards to data transfer limits & upload time so you may have to keep the files smallish.


Regards,

Frank.

Hi frank

Thanks for the info

I have 10Mbs speed and 1Mb upload hope that good enough

I have both days on tape so ill have a lot of footage to get through
The IAC Helicopter display was great!

Especially the crew member dressed up as a Gorilla messing about was funny and I have a lot of that footage so ill get to work on that first

I presume some of the aircraft involved are now retired sadly

Thanks again frank

I remember it well and am really looking forward to seeing the video Joey, hope it's gonna be a

10mbs... rub it in anyway!

I don’t think I get the full benefits of broad band especially living in Dublin 

Unfortunaly the handy cam didn’t come with anti-shake technology so Steven Spielberg needn’t worry

Hats off to the IAC     for putting on a cracking display of flying skills
The Dauphin / gazelle & Alouette pilots were brilliant   

I'll do my best to have some footage ASAP chaps

[Frank]

Less talking, more video please 

[Frank]

Only messing by the way!

I remember that show well, I got there so early on both of the days that I was in before the air scouts (marshals) and had free reign on the Air Corps museum aircraft (of course I was crap with a camera in those days  )

I was situated at the rotate point for the display aircraft, what I wouldn't have given for a decent zoom lens then!

Anyone remember the chip van going up in smoke? Flames shooting everywhere!


Regards,

Frank.

Thanks for your help frank

love the pics too the memories come flooding back now!

The second day i was at the barrier close to the action and got better shots of the display including the IAC Display it was also a Cracking Day weather wise

I will do my best to fix the second tape and get to work it was a better Recording if memory serves me

Frank would it benefit if i open up a new thread in the Aircraft Videos Section of this forum I’d hate to clog up the forum with too much post on this thread

 

[Frank]

Hi joey,

I started a new thread here, stick the rest of your videos in here. Have you video of any of the other displays by any chance?


Regards,

Frank.

I recorded pretty much most of the two days but with a lot of crowd line infringements i.e. heads Getting in the Blooming way it’s just a matter of slicing & splicing the best footage possible

Displays I recorded were;
 
Canberra / F/A18 Hornet/ F16 / Jaguar / meteor / Harrier GR7/ DH Vampire/ Jimmy Griffins YAK 50 / Hungarian Formation team flying their Slingsbys and KIA sponsored Piper Cub attempting to land his Plane on a moving trailer  also parachute displays IAC/RAF Nimrod Ect...

I’ll need to get tape two sorted as it had the best footage ill post what i can salvagefrom tape 1  for the moment
 
Regards

Joey
