Geocaching Movies


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi guys,

 

I am looking to create a DVD with members movies and was hoping people could post links to MPEGs/WMV's etc of theirs or others Geocaching exploits. I've just started with Stu's "Red Rag to a Bull"!

 

I'll collect them all together and start putting them in Geocaches for others to enjoy. Good idea or not? Can't do any harm can it?!

 

Cheers

Richard

Top idea!

 

Unfortunately I ain't got any :unsure: , but I hope your project goes well.

 

It might be worth contacting Geocaching Today online magazine as they might get you a bit more coverage, as not everyone uses the forums.

It sounds like a very good idea! Do bear in mind though that other people's movies are copyright, so if you find ones that haven't actually been offered ask first. I'll look forward to finding a copy in a cache near me!

I have a few on my caching web page, link in that little blue text, below. The one of me setting "I AM NOT A NUMBER..." is a bit of a spoiler, and low res, but quite funny, if I say so myself. The MISSING CACHER one is also a spoiler, but entertaining. Anyway, have a look and help yourself. Any chance of labelling the spoilers on the DVD as such? Maybe do a VCD version as a swap or sig item too?

I was told it would be ok to upload the file by email, but was also asked to wait for the official letter saying I could. That was 2 months ago...

 

I'll let the forum know when I bet bored of waiting and just upload it (with BBC copyright notice) some time soon.

Does nobody (apart from Paul :D ) have any mpegs they'd like me to add? :(

 

I've found some 20 minute beginners video, but I thought that might be a bit like teaching my Granny how to use a walking stick!

 

Cheers all

It might be a good idea to ask anyone whose video you want to include before doing so. I've had one request for my video already, and I was more than happy to say yes. However, if I found this on a DVD in a cache, I'd be a little grumpy.

 

So, I guess asking permission first would be a good idea.

 

Cheers,

I thought you were always a little grumpy :unsure::blink::ph34r::o

Well, I've got a reputation to keep up, then, haven't I? :o

 

Go on, use the video if you like (not for profit, obviously), but do make sure you ask others...

 

Cheers,

Thanks Stu, I would always ask permission first (hence this thread). I do work in the media arena, so I'm fully aware of how people can get funny about the littlest things!

 

Could you send me the link to your movie please. I may have missed the link somewhere.

 

Thanks

A link? Um... it's at the top of this thread.

 

Posted by you. :o

 

Cheers,

 

Stu

Ah, Oh I am very sorry and getting myself quite confused! Too early!

Hey that was good. We really enjoyed this clip and it gave us a laugh. Can't wait for more. Sorry we don't have any ourselves, although will have to take the video out with us sometime and see what we can do...

It was actually shot with my Fujifilm S5000 digital camera, in movie mode. It was quite safe, even though it swivelled on the sleeper at the end. For the record, I wasn't holding it at the time :P

There is also a German language video following Irish Geocachers Klause23, Donnacha and friends which can be found by clicking on the PRESS button HERE.

The correct link for the DivX file is here. It's 20MG - so don't try this on dialup!

 

And there's still no 'e' in Klaus :P

No Sp wasn't holding the camera, he got the little old lady walking her dog to do it.

I've uploaded the two dodgy-quality video clips from Countryfile to my web site:

 

Countryfile.mpg: 41.7Mb / 266 seconds.

 

Countryfile.wmv: 3.2Mb / 266 seconds.

 

Jumbo, you're free to use these on your VCD/DVD, but please leave the copyright info in place. I HAVE received the ok to upload these to my site from the BBC in an email, but I'm not sure where we stand on DVD. The quality has been kept low to avoid any issues - hopefully!

Excellent excellet... But I've just put the TB out there! Erm... I may see if it's moved yet and grab it quick and replace. Oooh, you lot are like buses. Nothing for ages, then two at once!

 

Cheers

Richard
