oops. thought i quoted the post above yours.I figured I wouldn't even need a smilie to get that through.
Download it then. They compress the hell out of their streaming vids.Wish they'd go to HiDef. That was awful to look at.
now that is a badass effing video, quality was out of this world! top notch editing, awesome.
if that video doesn't make you want to ride....Highlights are up on freecaster.

If that video had twice as much riding and half as much crying, it'd be awesome.
best race recap ever............everHighlights are up on freecaster.

Waiting 1 day wouldn't kill them. Also Euro style dial up interweb? Man we're not in the stone age. Pretty good internet connection around here.Re: Spec' vids.
Either Specialized is worried about bandwidth (cant see why) or they were more worried about trying to upload a video with Euro-style dial up interweb. Their vid is @ about 1/10th of the bit rate (and size) of the vimeo video and it shows. But I also can't imagine trying to upload a 400+ Mb video at a bike event. The interwebs are usually mega clogged.
up to 50 Mbit/s down and 10 Mbit/s up should be enoughAlso Euro style dial up interweb?
Have you ever tried uploading files at a World Cup event? Most to all event locations have crap connections. Maybe I should have been more specific.Waiting 1 day wouldn't kill them. Also Euro style dial up interweb? Man we're not in the stone age. Pretty good internet connection around here.
Agreed on all points, there are other options for distribution. The Dirt.tv guys do it on the road (and prob end up spending all night uploading) and their stuff looks awesome. But again....we're complaining about the most World Cup coverage we've seen in a long time.Aye, but we're 4 days after the event now, and I'd bet they uploaded that vid from their office, not from schladming.
The low bitrate is more than likely down to their webhosting package - they'll have monthly transfer limits, and with 10,000 potential views a 50MB file (what they have at the moment) is already 500GB of transfer. No reason why they couldn't upload HD to mpora instead and just link to it from their site; no reason except they'll think that doesn't look very "professional".
Here's hoping. I'm a big fan of all his movies, although what the hell is up with not having commentary on The Tipping Point! My favourite has to be Hypnosis, man I love that film.Im sure Clay shot enough for a WC video. thats his baby at this point, and what a season to boot.
Ok, that was AWESOME. Really well done. Maybe it was the music, but I was riveted. I also like how it showed good riding, no matter who it was. can't wait to watch the rest of his vids.I think Clay should change his format a bit, cause it gets a bit dull whatching even a second time. I think I watched Tipping Point just twice
Here's another Vimeo video - Schladming 09

Agreed that video was pretty rad. Time to upgrade the camera. =]Ok, that was AWESOME. Really well done. Maybe it was the music, but I was riveted. I also like how it showed good riding, no matter who it was. can't wait to watch the rest of his vids.

Ex-Irish Downhill WC racer John Lawlor shoots the vids, from what he told me, some of his footage from this season will be used in Clay's new movie. For extra angles/story telling effect.^ @43 seconds, Sam whippin it...
Very, Very sick.
Who shoots these S videos, they are tight.
actually that's Brendog..^ @43 seconds, Sam whippin it...
Very, Very sick.
