World Cup Finals - Schladming, Austria!

- Start date
?????
so no more mountain bike movies from him ?
Damn I wanna see those runs....
They are coming. There was a file export error which is explaining why they won't show up online. They are being redone as we speak and should be online within the hour.
In the mean time... Blinky loves it!
Great moment captured!
i'd guess he's gonna call it something different... 5 Sprung flicks, 5 Earthed flick?
Alex is shooting mostly moto now, not MTB.
Great coverage, Spomer! Sven and Gary always do a great job, but that shot Gary got of Fairclough ripping off a tear-away in mid air is just spectacular.
That's weird I'm pretty sure that I posted a reply yesterday to this thread, I must have missed the reply button...No argument, I know the facts about our system and he doesn't.
Anyhow instead of being so confident about your system why not take it as advice instead of just brushing it off. SDSL, ADSL etc are all DSL lines. And many DSL lines like my own can upload at 1 Mbit/s which is more than what your stream was, since it was no HD-stream. And if one line isn't sufficient, you can always use loadbalancing. I'm guessing you aren't familiar with networks or haven't worked with them yourself? With loadbalancing you can achieve the upload speed of a 2 Mbit/s SDSL line with 2 1 Mbit/s ADSL-lines. But as I said a 700 kbit/s stream (which isn't HD) doesn't need 2 Mbit. 1 Mbit/s is sufficient.
And if you do this the only reason for freezing is the servers streaming to the clients, their bandwidth and performance are setting limits too.
As it's been said over and over again, Alex isn't making a full mtb movie this year.
i agree sometimes the internet down under isnt that great hence©2001;3050509 said:
a lower quality alternative would be good just to get it live

No Earthed but I think guys from Orpheus Production_makers of Re-Focus_ will bring us a race movie of this season.
i wasn't aware of this. but thanks for the heads up. its too bad, because he really knows how to put together a good film.
But Alex Rankin was in Maribor, Fort Bill, Worlds and Schladming.
Now lets see what he is gonna do.
I've noticed that a couple of posts from this thread have gone eerily missing. Must be a glitch in RM's system.
You don't know the cause of the problems. I do as do the entire freecaster staff as well as the UCI. Please stop speculating/arguing as you do not have the facts that you need. An 8mb adsl line is not a 2mb sdsl line no matter how you cut it.
What YOUR connection at home can do doesn't matter. My connection at home is enormous, but that doesn't really help us in the backwoods of South Africa or the valleys of Andorra.

No complaints from me, I was happy to see as much of the race as I did! I can only imagine the amount of work that goes into putting these races up on freecaster for all of us to view. Sh!t happens and it's not like the freecaster staff has multiple satalite feeds beeming down on them so that everone can view without issues, ie NBC Sports. Great job Freecaster and I'm sure it's going to get better. Thanks again.You don't know the cause of the problems. I do as do the entire freecaster staff as well as the UCI.

the litter crew kills it again! the shot of keene is oh so awesome.....love the finals pics, grainy, wet, full of texture....definitely highlights what it must've been like out there, thanks!
Yeah, I think it going to be called 'Narration'
So you are telling me that you don't have 3G-coverage, any type of DSL-service or other broadband connection in Schladaming? Cos if you have you can use loadbalancing and with relative ease get the 2 MBIT upload you need. SDSL means it has the same upload as download, but that doesn't mean that two 24/1 Mbit/s ADSL with loadbalancing wont be as fast in the upload as 2 Mbit/s SDSL.You don't know the cause of the problems.

Have you tried loadbalancing?
Sweet, my fav films.
When I spoke to him at Bromont he was shooting for Yeti and his own project, I can only assume that it would be the follow-up to F1rst.
Just say thanks and enjoy the footage bud. Nobody needs a Monday morning quarterback. They have done a great job and have it all under control.
I just hope Clay finish the movie till December this year.
Wait till May/June is too much time.

No doubt! You could always depend on Rankin/Dirt to deliver a new flick by Xmas!
What happened to Tony Butler of Super8/Hypnosis fame? Those were two of my fav's!
99% sure this is me...

I'm not criticizing, I'm giving advice on how to fix a problem. I've watched their live feed several times and sometimes they work great, sometimes not so great. I appreciate what they are doing, just think the frame drops could be avoided with some fairly simple changes.
Well done to Bryceland and Rach Atherton taking there respective overall titles and massive respect to Rach for taking it in such style!! This year has been amazing with the footage from Freecaster, can't wait until next year! Again big thanks to the guys at freecaster.
So Gee, Minaar and Sam are they the old guard now
'cos I reckon Fairclough and definitely Blenkinsop are going to be pushing them hard next year! and if so what the hell does this make Peaty

- Clay Porter made Hypnosis, not Tony.
- First was out in April, not June as was reported.
- The next film will be out earlier than the last one, just shooting on the new format can save literally days, weeks and months when it comes to capturing and editing. He also spent some time in New Zealand with this weekends winner so expect some good stuff there.
- Alex Rankin is working on a full length MTB project, out in April, not sure if I can let the cat out the bag yet what it will be about.
- MTB Cut will also have a world cup race DVD out before Xmass.
