Hi Folks

I was at Knockhill circuit on Saturday, and managed to compile some nice video. I've combined the video with data from my new DL1 data logger, so the video now shows track position, speed etc. Eventually it will show Revs, if I can work out how to wire it up!

Thanks to Banglebox535d for hosting the file!

Pretty damn accurate so I believe - only problem is synchronising the video with the data which can be a pain

SG,

The vid wont play, it just shows a still of the start. Do you have wait a while or should it start straight away?

BTW I now know why you go to the Nurburgring so often - Its a fu*king awesome experience - can't wait to go again!

Are you trying to stream it or did you download it?

Streaming it is kind of hard... I suggest you download it and it should work... maybe you need some Codecs also not sure. My comp has all sorts of codecs installed already so everything just plays for me.

Its a divx file, but you definitely need to right click, save as and download the file before playing. Is that the problem or perhaps the codec is the problem?

I downloaded this file. When file is opened, all I get is the sound, but no video?
