Since most changes (if not all) in regards to the LF are in place, I thought now might be a good time to do another LAT48's.
It will be on Wednesday, at 7:58PM ET. If this time is a problem, let me know and I will change it to whatever is more acceptable.
Questions, comments, etc. are welcome!
-
Yeah, let's do that!
I'll (most likely) be available. If not, I'll set my VCR for it now.
-
i can participate but as always my vid quality is an issue :(
-
Well then Wednesday at 7:58Pm it is! :sunglasses:
Of course, comments and questions are still welcome!
-
Could you reschedule it? I will be in Atlanta that day. :(
-
wednesday i work :( . thursday i'll be off - thus it's a better day (for me) haha. we'll see if anyone else needs a thursday, but I doubt it.
-
Pick a day, I don't care as long as I have a disc.
-
I've already told everyone via e-mail that it is Wednesday, so I think its probably too late to change the date. Just give us your clip when you can. :twothumbs:
-
So, uh, my tuner is still broken, so I can't participate.
Sooooo, I was thinking maybe a 2 minute "Tyler flavor," where there are clips of the following: Tyler picking his nose; Tyler beating the shit out of his brother; Tyler holding a piece of paper with the word "GARY" on it lighting it on fire; and many more misc. clips. Would this type of video suffice?

As long as Gary is fine with it, I'd like to see it. :D

If you take the part about me out it'll be fine! :twothumbs:

Goes along with your personal title :P
-
I crack myself up sometimes. :lol:

Nah. That's the "FEATURE PRESENTATION." Can't get rid of that, otherwise, no one here would enjoy it. Durr. :rolleyes:
Goes along with your personal title :P
I figured, for the safety of the public at large, I'd take out the part of my "twisting" my bag of nuts. And no, it isn't recommended you try that at home... unless CE is there to oversee such an event. :shades:

Alright fellas lets get this topic back on track. :sunglasses:
-
I guess Wednesday will work. I'm not sure if I can hook up my tuner to my hotel's hookup though... :unsure:

That's what I'm going to do later this summer. I'll be going to several hotels and recording their STAR.
-

Not necessarily. The place I stay at in Myrtle Beach has this lock mechanism on both the outlet on the wall the the jack on the tv to prevent you from undoing the wires. :glare:

And that's why you should bring wire cutters and extra coaxial connectors wherever you go. :) :ninja:
j/k, or am I? :P
-
There are workarounds. Just need a little intuition. :twothumbs:
-
True. And I thought of that. :P
However, rather than jacking the hotel's cable lock system, and having them potentially discover it, and have me pay for it (yes, I checked, and their "MASTER CABLELOCK" system was in the Terms of Use on the back of the long receipt)... I spent my days at the beach looking at hot women passerbyers, etc. :foolish:

Well I can't argue with that! That's always a great way to spend your days! :happy:

It will be a very close call for me tomorrow. I'm going to be leaving for a friends house right around when this takes place, and won't be back home until Sunday. If I do get a clip, you won't get it until Sunday.
Maybe I should ask my grandparents to record a clip of the intellistar in Honolulu (they're on vacation). However, it will be a taped with a camera and not a tuner. :(

We'll have local across the 48's plus Hawaii :lol:.A Hawaii clip would be great to se.I can try to get a Cape Coral forecast.

I won't make any guarantees. My grandparents might be out at lunch around the time of the LAT48's (since it will occur at 1:57 PM Hawaii time)
So Gary, do you know if anyone with a junior, 4000, or XL is participating in this?
-
Is it OK if I use my webcam to record the local forecast?

I have no idea Derek. :unsure:
-
I could ask CriminalCola too see if he can record his XL.
-
Ask whomever you want to ask. :sunglasses:
-
There's someone from Wisconsin on youtube with a junior (he just posted a clip this morning). Maybe we could ask him..
Now all we need is a 4000....
-
Shane has a 4000, right?
-
Shane has a 4000, right?
Correct. I'll get in contact with him.
-
Shane has a 4000, right?
I haven't been able to contact him. Maybe we could ask that guy from Pine Bluff to record a clip of his 4000...
-
What about asking Kevin K? He uploaded a few videos of his Fios intellistar.

Oh yeah, a FIOS intellistar would make a great addition to this LAT48's, since the flavors are so weird.
-
That would be cool! Not sure he'll do it though, as he's never liked me. :wacko:
-
how about TWC015 he has a 4000?
-
Like I said, you guys can ask anyone you want.
-
I don't think I'll be able to do it guys. :(
I'm going to a few places later tonight and won't return until 11 pm. I won't be able to log in during this event.
-
Vic, you've been trying to get out of it all along. I didn't expect you to do it for a moment. :happy:
-
I really want to do it though.
Of course I had to travel THAT time <_<
-
Hello.. I am the guy from Wisconsin with a Jr.. LOL..
I am new here.. Sorry to ask a stupid question.. :unsure:
If I record it.. Where do I send the video file????
-
You can upload it right here. When you post, click on Additional Optionals right below the post box, and then you'll see where you can upload a file. :sunglasses:
-
Thanks.. My recorder will make it about a 35 meg MPG file is there a type of software or shareware that will crunch it down? It looks like I am limited to 9000 KB in the message attachment.

If you're using Windows Me and above, you can run the video through Windows Movie Maker and compress the file down significantly.
-
Gary, do you want us to capture the ID screen?
-
Just a reminder, we're ~50 minutes away from recording time.
-
Less than three minutes. Get ready!
-
The ID is fine, but not necessary.
-
Looks like I will be able to do it, even though my mom is screaming her head off for me to get in the car. :P
-
Here is mine. It includes the A&B commercial, station ID, LF opener, local forecast, and top of the hour bumper.

Hi all. Finally, a "Local Across the 48's" that didn't slip my mind:
https://rcpt.yousendit.com/588005710/4e1904c540d04b9eb47d2bcfbc6a0e17
If anyone's eager for an XL fix, I doubt you'll be disappointed. I let the video run a bit longer than usual so I could get in a glimpse of the black bar, among other things.
And yes, it is raining cats and dogs outside right now. <_<
-
I'm participating. I'm recording at 7:58pm CENTRAL time. Though I don't know if I can upload it to YouTube, because YouTube is being a butthead for me, again. The joys of files not converting. <_<

Sorry, but you missed it. It was at 7:58pm EASTERN time, meaning you had to record at 6:58pm CENTRAL time. ;)
-
at the very top of andrew's XL i see the satellite forecast going as well (i could tell by the radars during the 36hr and extended forecasts)

I got mine!!! I am having problems with a Codec file I can't get my editor to work I am unable to crunch it down to 8.75 megs..
This is the Youtube Link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMwOs-JVc4Y
This is if you want to download the raw file (about 33 megs)

Great videos, Andrew and Grgeiger. Always nice to see the legacy STARs in action.
This is an interesting TCF glitch on Grgeiger's Junior that I noticed:
(http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/7069/snapshot20080709205638bq7.jpg)
Wonder what caused the background to fail for a split second?
-
I have no idea how much longer that Jr will be running. Cable company is upgrading like crazy. I hear various rumors they are eventually going to combine our system with another town 30 miles away.. then I hear other rumors they are going to keep everything here.. I assume the Junior will be retiring.
Does anybody have any ideas how many Jr's are still running?
-
Thanks to all who have sent in their videos so far! I hope to see more! :sunglasses:
-
Here are my clips:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4mhkiFnPfM - It's a camera recorded clip, but it's better than nothing. ;)
Emulated version (I had my VCR set to record my IS when I was recording the 4000 emulator): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0TlyQB5JyE Taken at the exact same time as the real LF, with the WeatherSTAR 4000 emulator. Contains the A&B promo, emulated Station ID, EE LF intro, the LF (obviously), and then the top of the hour bumper. Also features the same song that played on the actual LF, "Allusion" by Chris Geith.
-
Thanks! :sunglasses:
-
I'll have mine up on Sunday. I hope you're willing to wait that long, Gary.
Haha, that's neat Stephen. I actually did something similar. I emulated my junior, 3000, and 4000 all at the same time as the LAT 48's. I even emulated the station ID on all of them, only with the older lake station ID. Not the new one. :(

Excellent! Thanks! :sunglasses:

Folks, if your going to contribute, you need to leave your videos available for at least a week, to ensure that I have enough time to download them.
Thanks.
-
Alright, at this point the LAT48's page ain't happening. One of you already removed your video clip, one of you uploaded to YouTube, and one of you expects me to download a 33MB file. None of which is going to work. That leaves me with two videos, Billy's and Steve's, and that's not worth my time.
-
i have it recorded on my dvr so i should have it recorded on my digi cam by at least tomorrow or sunday and sent to u gary right when i upload it to my comp
-
It looks as though shadyjay also participated in this local across the 48's. Here's his video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnsBkpLs9yM

and one of you expects me to download a 33MB file.
What's wrong with a 33 MB file? I know it's somewhat big, but at least it has a good quality.
-

I guess you forgot about the part where I have to upload the damn thing to my server. Downloading is no problem. But upload rates are half, if not less, than upload speeds.
Other than that, I just don't think its fair to be expected to deal with such huge files.
If Jay wanted me to have his video how come he didn't contact me? Or better yet come and post it here (AFAIK he IS a member here). :unsure:
-
I've been looking all over for a LAT48s-III thread ever since Wed and couldn't find it - only way I knew it was happening was the e-mail that I got. So I recorded it, then converted it and produced it. Then I clicked on CONTACT US http://www.twctodayforums.com/contact.php and sent it off, attached, assuming that it was received. Then today, or was it yesterday, I put it on YOUTUBE to go along with my other local forecasts so that people can see this stuff on my youtube page. I have never contributed to this new site (I did to TWCClassics) and since I have an XL (yes, the capital of Vermont does not rate an Intellistar), my vids are "something different". Any of my XL vids I posted on my youtube page can be put on this site by the admin, and may be viewed by all. This is the second LAT48s I've participated in, and actually was home that night and remembered the e-mail. If you would like me to do something else to get the video out, I will. Please, enlighten me. I'm a newbie here in regards to contributing/posting/whatever, but have been watching TWC since the late 1980s.
And I could'a sworn this thread was NOT here the other day.
Jay

Hi jay,
First of all, I'm glad your beocming active here, and contributing videos. We always love to see videos of the less popular STAR's. I thank you for giving me permission to post your videos on the site. It is greatly appreciated. As for your e-mailed clip, as I said in the other thread I did not receive that until about 4 minutes prior to my post in that thread. Why it took so long is completely beyond me. Generally, YouTube videos are fine on a day to day basis. But on big projects they are kinda difficult because I usually end up with a half dozen videos I have to convert to .wmv. Obviously, that can get a little time consuming, so I choose to go with .wmv so that its pretty much as simple as putting the videos on the page and being done. The whole goal is to provide a great site without having to bog myself down with work to do.
As for this thread, well, its been here since Wednesday. :rofl2: :sunglasses:
-
copy that, 10/4 and so on. i read one thread after i read the other. guess my mind's been out to lunch since wed. either that or i checked all the other subcategories here except the "news" one. i'll be alright. must be i'm still recovering from my high altitude hike on mon (4000'+) and my mind's still "up in the clouds" :happy:
-
Best looking one of the bunch.

Here's my video. The file is about 23 MB.
