Here's the address for version 4.x (not beta) for the standalone download. It's 8.2 MB.

If you want to fix your file associations, just do this...
1. Click on the file that you want to open (only click once).
2. Hold shift and then right click once.
3. On the menu that comes up, there should be an option "Open with", click on that.
4. Scroll through the list and pick the program that you want to open that type of file. Make sure that the "Always use this program" is checked at the bottom of the menu.
5. Hit "OK" and it should be fixed.

 

Front view video:
I played around a bit with the video compression and reduced an 89 MB file down to 1 MB. Although I'm not thrilled with the quality of the video, it's still good.

This is similar the the one above, but viewed from the front.

Enjoy!
Front view - 1MB

Another cool movie. Dont hit any bugs! I'd take the plunge, but need drag radials...Oops , uh, for my 66 chevy.

 

Just curious, where are you putting the mic??? I think it's great how you're getting an outside shot, and you can hear the engine and the exhaust, but no wind rushing towards the mic.

The mic is inside the frame (or a structural member of the truck), so its shielded from the wind, about 1 foot above the mufflers.

Placing the mic was one of the harder problems to solve. Initially, I didn't think I was getting any sound. But, since I'm using audio-in, which is line level, I realized that I either had to boost the signal with an amp or find a microphone that had more sensitive pickup.

One other problem is the dynamic range. The exhaust is quiet, but gets louder when you get on the throttle. Thus, a sensitive mic with only a small line amp works fine. I adjust the gain when I capture the audio/video on the computer, but this is mainly to get better sound for the internet.

I ended up with two mics that work well, but these videos are only using one of them. The second mounts closer to the engine.

That is totally cool. I like the front view too, It would be cool to have a slip screen.
