Any chance of seeing it on iPlayer as we don't get ITV London in civilisation.

Satellite viewers can get it, because all regions are available.

Post by: Adam on 12 April, 2008, 07:20:06 am
I think only the BBC show the regions, somewhere after the XXX channels (945 or so I think from memory), as I remember searching through last year, but didn't see any ITV ones.

Edit - the BBC show the regions on Channels 971 - 992 on Sky.

Channel 963.  Other ITV regions have to be added using "Other Channels", but everyone, whatever region they live, has ITV1 London as a hard-coded EPG programme.

I don't have that - it leaps from 957 to 970.  Although I guess the fact that I get ITV London on the normal 103 channel might be the answer!

You should be able to watch it online eventually, http://www.itvlocal.com/london/programmes/

But I'll rip it too, and shove the relevant bit on the youtube or somesuch. (just don't mention copyright... ;D)

Perhaps we should see which team, Speed or Filth gets most appearances.

I think I spotted Woolypigs at the bar (how surprising) and Simon L3 could be seen striding across in the background whilst they were interviewing the lady on the recumbent.

I don't think they made us out to look too odd.  ::-)

Uploading now to YouTube...then I'll post a link.  Does anyone have webspace that can take a 70MB .avi file?  It'll get pulled from YouTube sooner or later for breach of copyright, I expect.

In my clip we're on screen from 2:50 to 3:08.  Sam Walker is first on his roadified MTB, then me in Swindon Road Club kit on the blue Fuji fixie, then Chris N on his red fixie.

Then it's Mdja followed by me bringing up the rear in my white top.

Mdja and me also make another appearance wheeling our bikes away from the Great Waldingfield stop at 3:50.

Seems everyone on Team Speed with the exception of SimonL3 got shown, he bailed 5 minutes too early.

I watched Roger's Youtube clip OK, but when I dowload Lonewolf's file I only get sound.  No vision?

I would have been in Team Speed, but as I was chatting away to Valiant, Simon gave me a 15, 10 & 5 minute warning of departure, but then I didn't realise he'd gone for another 10 minutes.  :-[

Do you mean you can't open the video? Or that you can't install it? The video works fine for me (mplayer or VLC on Fedora).

 :thumbsup:  Martin was the name in my mind.   I think I rode a bit of the 2006 one with him.

I had the same problem in the default media player that comes on XP.

I tried Apple Quicktime (iTunes put it on this machine even though I wanted neither application) but that's just crashed as per usual leaving me a blob in the middle of my screen I'll need to reboot to get rid of  >:( (or work out what process to kill)


That download seems to have worked.


But, a question for the jury, why do people insist on creating videos that require the end user to download additional software/codecs to watch?   What's wrong with just using the generic ones that the majority of people have installed as default?

The newer codecs tend to give a higher compression ratio for the equivalent quality, but aren't installed by default. Some of that is down to licensing/patent issues- in many cases you're meant to pay a fee to the license holder for the right to use a codec, and several Linux distros try to dissuade users from using them. There's multiple versions of Windows, many manufacturers pre-install software, other software may install additional codecs without telling you. Encoders probably won't include many codecs due to licensing restrictions, and of course they're all different. And since the encoder will also install a decoder you'd need to get another computer to test whether it'll work.

Post by: rogerzilla on 14 April, 2008, 06:30:16 am
I used FreeDVDRipper.

YouTube gets round the codec problem by using Flash, but also resizes everything to a weird size, making it blocky, and makes it mono sound.

If anyone has Quicktime or other authoring tools, I still have it on straight-from-the-digibox DVD.  I'm sure it's possible to get a 1024-wide rip and a reasonable file size.  I can burn the DVD folders to a CD - there's only a few hundred MB raw.
