    Hi all,

    Just put a video up from Past-Time Rail's first Cotton Mill on 3rd Nov 2007.

    This is the climb up to Sough Tunnel with 45407 and 76079.

    Cheers,

    Digging up the past eh Mark, and if you open two links to youtube you can have it from the other side of the train at the same time... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7IyhYQ1-8w

    Interesting to note how much the picture quality has improved in the few years since that was shot.

    If I could dig my tapes out I wonder with a re edit I wonder how much the quality could be improved? First problem, find the tapes for that year.....

    I'd say it will probably go up quite a bit,seen as though you were filming in good quality to start with......

    Im just going off simple 8mm some of them not even "hi-8". Plus i'm having to go through a converter.

    You are right it does make a difference even in 360, watching it in 720 goes up quite a step and this was not a HD camera.

    Yes, very nice and good to see/hear the 'Rocket' again.

    What software do you use Ralph?

    Pinnacle studio plus version 12. HD 1280 X 720, MPEG 4, Data rate 8000 Kbits/sec, with the sound at 192 Kbits/sec.
    Original was probably Studio 9 at 360 x whatever, AVI, picture data at 4000 and sound about 100.

    I was please to find that my tapes were sitting in a box at the bottom of a wardrobe, where else, and were reasonably well labelled. Must get out some others and redo them at better quality, perhaps in the cold dark winters nights.......
