and a couple pics...

 

I just get a blank screen.....music but no video.

 

Same thing for me. Says Quicktime is missing software to perform this function.

 

....... standing by also .....:smile:

 

Damnit. No idea why you guys aren't seeing it - it's just a regular .MOV file and I know others have DL'd it.

I will try UL'ing it again.

 

Just tried it on my Windows machine and got the same error you got. I'll try to fix it.

 

seems to be a codec issue since the audio is playing without video...

 

What is the apparition in the front windshield, driver's side? Looks a bit like Elvis!!

 

Man I'd hate to see you with a Rohrschach Test.

Here's a bigger version...

 

Any ideas what to do to fix it? I recompressed it in iMovie and reuploaded it but it still doesn't play video on my PC, only on my Mac. :-/

 

It could be a quicktime 7 movie... most PCs will not have quicktime 7, although a "preview release" or some such of quicktime 7 for windows does exist.

It worked for me on my mac.

 

I went to another site that has iMovie files that play just fine on my computer. Do me a favor and re-upload you movie. The link is no longer valid. Thanks.

Reuploaded HERE

Everyone with a Mac has had no issues. My Mac guru suspects that it requires a QT upgrade. I recently installed an iMovie update so it's possible that iMovie is creating the files in QT7.

Maybe there's a beta QT7 for PCs available.

 

very nice. so are you faster in the Audi or the MINI around Blackhawk?

I've yet to take the MINI out to Blackhawk. It's interesting, but for some reason I'd think that I'd be faster in the MINI than I am on the motorcycle. I ride in an intermediate class and do 1:23s. The faster guys do 12s-16s

 

Still nothing ... Anyone else?

 

I'm using a Mac and still not getting it...must require Quicktime 7 because I still have QT 6.5.2 on my computer. Update time!!

Mark...can't you use an older codec when you convert from iMovie to Quicktime? That way the video will play on older versions of QT, and presumably will be accessible by Windows users.

Oh, by the way...can you make photo 2 smaller in your original post? It forces us to scroll right throughout the thread to see the whole screen. :smile:

 

Still soundtrack only, but no video.

 

Download the preview version 7 for Windows. It seems to work fine for me in the Firefox browser (v1.0.6).

I run 1:21 in the Audi, and about 1:26 in the Mini. The Audi wears R comps and Stoptechs with Hawk HT10s though, and the Mini was on street tires and stock brakes with Hawk Blues. If I slapped some camber plates, R comps, and some brake ducts or big brakes with HT10s on the Mini I think I could get close (maybe 2 seconds off the A4's pace). It's just hard to make up for the 130+hp deficit the Mini has though. FWD doesn't help much either. Hehe.

Both cars are fun, but in different ways.

 

I uploaded an MPEG4 version HERE

Please let me know if it still doesn't work! Thanks!

 

That looks like a pretty dangerous track considering all the trees I see.

p.s. Still cant get the video to work, and would really love to see it.

It's actually a very safe track. There are tire walls at most of the ugly spots and tallgrass and brush in the ugliest unprotected spots. The trees are pretty much impossible to hit. They do make for a nice park-like setting to run through though.

 

Nice vid and driving.

It's a great track, Blackhawk.

Did Phil Wick's Mini Driving Academy there last summer.

Somewhat off topic. Would be great if there was a regional thread (midwest and others) for track events, mini and others; missed this one.

 

I was at that Wicks event last year, albeit in the Audi.

Check out www.drivingevents.com for listings of track events in your area. Also, the regional forums here often list upcoming events - might want to keep tabs on them.
