Post by: chocl8 on December 31, 2008, 04:03:22 PM: Ricky when you are importing the videos in change the selection from "video and picture files" to "all files", you should then be able to import them as usual =]

RIVA FLVconverter. It's meant for converting to flash videos but it'll convert it to whatever you like if you change the file extension of the end-conversion file from .flv to .wmv or .mpg or .avi, depending on what format you want to use.

Depends if he has a WMM compatible MP4 codec though.

Post by: Brendan (NeoNinja) on January 22, 2009, 07:03:17 PM: Ah lame. I was gonna enter this but I was busy. I wanted to try a new trick in the gym, but it's not open til Tuesday. And this competition closes on Saturday. =( Shame. Will there be any more competitions for calf cuffs?

I was busy doing a 2 month play in Birmingham. I never met the guy, but one of the actors told me he worked with some bockers in the Lord of the Rings play! ^_^ They played Orcs or something! ^_^ Shame I never got to see him in action.

Post by: webmaster on January 22, 2009, 07:16:29 PM: I have been asked by a few members to extend the comp till the end of the month. I'll see if the people who have already entered don't mind the extra week and take it from there. Not sure when the next comp will be.

Jeez, some people.... :P

Post by: Brendan (NeoNinja) on January 22, 2009, 08:52:51 PM: Naz, that'd be fantastic! But I don't want you to think I was asking you to extend the date. I just wanted to know when the next one was. I mentioned I was busy as an introduction to the fact that I was working with some people who knew power-bocking Orcs! ^_^ Since I thought that was cool! ^_^ The hobits don't stand a chance! ^_^

...But if the date was extended that'd be brilliant. ^_^

Post by: Brendan (NeoNinja) on January 25, 2009, 09:02:58 PM: Raaaarrrr! >=[

I'm having real difficulty learning the trick I want to do for the competition.
I blame the rain and wet grass... though really it's just cos I suck at it.

I vote for a Summer competition next year. ^_^ lol. Good luck everyone. =)

UPDATE: 26/01/09 I was much, much closer today. ^_^ However, cosidering how very, very, very catastrophicallly bad I was yesterday, I'm still nowhere near landing it. But I do think it's possible now. Yay! ^_^

UPDATE: 28/01/09 I was much closer again! But I still need way more height if I want to land on feet... which I do. I'm certain I'll get it... but probably not in time for this year's competition. =( Maybe for the next one. ^_^ But fingers crossed! =)

UPDATE: 29/01/09 I could have landed it today! WOOOO! ...But I didn't. Boooo. But I'm so close. And I have an agonising pain in my back to show for it. w00t! *rolls eyes*

UPDATE: 30/01/09 ...this is getting silly. No-ones reading it, why do I write it?... anyway, my feet hit the ground before my face today! ^_^ w00t!!! Not soon enough for me to actually stay up on them (hense the face smashing part) but that's a huge improvement. ^_^ Only one day left though =/ hope it's enough. Unless maybe I could win with a bails video. I have a bunch of them!

Post by: Brendan (NeoNinja) on February 01, 2009, 01:48:59 AM: Well, I didn't exactly get the footage I want. But I have footage. And I hope everyone will like it. ^_^Glad to know we still have 24 hours. I was getting worried it would have to be in by mid-day or something and I'd have to stay up all night editing.

Hope you all like it. ^_^ Will be my first ever bocking vid. Milestone! ^_^

I never did! lol. I experienced real problems getting it on youtube.
Problems with file type and size. So a friend put it on his server. =)

EDIT:

I finally got it on YouTube for anyone who doesn't like using the other link. Enjoy!
Though I think it fits the screen better on the other link. I say "I got it." Actually
the same friend did it. It involved much file conversion and I.T. trickery. ^_^
Enjoy! ^_^

Over 3 days I had 69 attempts. I got very close on a few... but not close enough! ^_^
haha. The revised concept for the vid (after failing to land it in time) was to make you
laugh. It was supposed to feel like it was building up to something epic! ...Then crash
and burn in spectacular fashion. Lol. ^_^ Certain shots were also designed to show of
my bock modifications. ^_^ I'm really pleased with the filming and editing so I hope you
liked watching and it made you laugh! ^_^
