@Venom121212 doesnāt mess around on hot laps. Pete had to abort his first lap because the curb of death snuck up on him.
Having it officially sanctioned is probably a good call with the number of folks we would have out there.

Ok so after 22 hours of uploading to YouTube I was told that my video was too long because my account wasnāt verified yet. I verified my account via text, and itās now saying I can upload shit more than 15 minutes so Iām trying again. Hopefully tomorrow a 360 night ride will be available for people with the YouTube app or even a vr headset. I have the other day rides too so Iāll do those next over the next several days and post links here.
I think I got noobed by the system because Iām using my defiant board society google account instead of LHB. It has no history. Nowās a good time to get that started though, weāre going to have plenty of video to post of various things.
I do have some phone video of the sea side rides by SouāWester. Iāll stop dicking around and get that uploaded.
The drive was hard on me. In the moment it seemed fine but Iām still feeling the exhaustion two days later. I donāt think my car liked it much either, I need to go get it checked out. Itās making funny noises and shutting the engine off when I hit the brakes sometimes.

download handbrake, itās a solid video compressor that maintains quality quite well in my experience

I donāt think that helps with YouTube uploading unless you kill the bit rate(quality)
@longhairedboy maybe just cut the sections into multi part videos so you can just get videos up and count up

youāre definitely killing the bitrate some, but it can be done to a lesser degree so you donāt have a noticeable downgrade in quality (while still significantly cutting down file size)
its 42 gigs of spherical mp4, and I have a half dozen or so to upload. I donāt mind the wait, any sort of pre-processing is just going to add to the total time. I want it at max quality anyway.
I didnāt cut or edit, I want to share the experience as it was. Even the stupid banter at the intersections.

Yeah thatās just gonna start the upload and let YouTube finish the processing. Iāve never done 360 footage raw. Always pick thru it

Iāve always reframed and cherry picked scenes in rides as well. And that cam is great for it. It does amazing solo ride and shoot product shot type stuff.
I just decided this time it would be cool to let people be there the way it was if they have a browser or hardware that supports it. Iām still feeling that awesome Portland vibe.

handbrake is ffmpeg underneath IIRC. definitely good.
IMO better to upload to youtube and let them have first crack and recompressing.( likely using ffmpeg )

the 360 night ride through town finished uploading and YouTube is 95% done processing it, but its been at 95% for hours. lol
I just keep reloading the channel content page to see if itās stuck or something.

I recorded nothing because we looking like a rolling Big Brother convention the entire time so I figured you guys had it.
Looking forward to these videos! I already saw some of the incredible drone footage that @poastoast captured.

my dudesā¦ the second video is uploading and the first has finished processing. I was able to verify the 360ness on my laptop, you can pan around using WASD on the keyboard or by dragging the mouse. I think you just drag your finger around in the app on phones and tablets. Iām going to put them all in this playlist, which already has the first one in it:

Dude the 360 cam is actually really cool on mobile. Itās silky smooth for me on my pixel.
Excellent!

oh dude, it works. and itās only slightly nauseating. (also youāre flying above @longhairedboy head.
)
but kinda like being there. pretty cool. 
i had to use youtube vr app, the in browser app didnāt have a way to switch to vr in youtube.

Awesome! glad to hear it turned out. Iāve been watching it on my MacBook and it seems to scroll around smoothly full screen too. I only just learned at Carve that YouTube even supported it.
I wish I had a VR setup I just canāt justify buying a headset right now, waiting for the artificial PS5 shortage to end so I can get one then Iām getting the VR set for that when it comes out.
