16 mm DVD
16 mm DVD
Got my DVD yesterday and, as usual, a superb production. Just one gripe however and it's purely personal. Why do most people try to out run Mallard?
Lead me not into temptation,for I can find my own way.
It's an excellent DVD as usual but mine has strange marks on the playing
surface which means it won't play on the MAC, it plays on the PC, the picture
is a bit jerky and the sound sounds like Max Headroom

Re: 16 mm DVD
I'm guilty of 'speeding' on the garden railway and I'm not going to attempt to excuse the offence but I would like to make some comments in defence of other perpetrators.Catweasel:97436 wrote:Got my DVD yesterday and, as usual, a superb production.

* I often find that when I edit out the bits I don't want from a garden railway movie I'm left with the faster moving scenes.
* A train movement that seems a little bit fast at the time of filming turns out to look very much faster when the movie is played.
* Many garden railway films are taken at open days or steam ups and 16 millers, as opposed to the more disciplined standard gauge chappies, tend more often than not to have trains moving about that are not subject to any running schedule. This means a driver has to keep moving sharply to avoid a rear end bump (especially if being followed by a manual control loco) or the temptation is to get a move on to clear the track for an oncoming train.
Having said all this I do appreciate those films that run at closer to scale speed.
There are some garden railfarers who publish their movies at half speed and look good as a result.
Hope this helps.
