No problem skinnifatkid, glad to help.
You should have also looked at getting a keychain spycam from ebay, it's cheaper than the hobbyking ones, and it's flat with a lens that faces forward, a much better shape for attaching to your cub.
With that being said though, I think the best spycam mount I ever came up with was this one here:
supercubclub.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=cameras&action=display&thread=2576&page=2Anyway, instructions for virtualdub:
Virtual dub is a download, not an installation. That means that it doesn't copy the files to a sensible location (like c:\program files) or add a shortcut to the start menu so you can actually find the program when you want to watch it.
After you've downloaded the program, first thing you want to do is create a directory called "virtual dub" whereever you want it (c:\program files would be a good default), and copy all the virtual dub files there. You also want to create a 'virtual dub' folder in start-->programs-->accessories, and in that folder you should put a shortcut to the file "virtualdub", not "vdub" as that is a command line interface.
Flipping the videos:
Open the virtual dub program, and drag and drop the video file to it.
Goto the file menu up the top, and click on VIDEO, then FILTERS.
On the RHS click on ADD, then scroll down to and select ROTATE
Click OK, then on the next dialogue box, select AROUND BY 180° then click OK to that, and click OK again
Now you need to select some sort of compression, or the output file will be ridiculously large.
Go to the file menu, and click on AUDIO, then select DIRECT STREAM COPY
DO NOT use compression for the sound on virtualdub, or the sound will end up out of sync from the video, it's a bug in the program.
Go to the file menu, click on VIDEO, then select FULL PROCESSING MODE
Go to the file menu, click on VIDEO, then select COMPRESSION
This brings up a dialogue box that allows you to select what sort of compression you want to apply to the video. You should select DivX or Xvid, but if you don't have either of those to choose from you'll probably need to download and install a codec pack.
I personally use Xvid, so I'll give you step by step instructions for that. DivX is very similar.
From the list of Codecs that comes up, select "Xvid MPEG-4 Codec", then on the RHS click on CONFIGURE
Make Profile @ Level "(unrestricted)
Make Encoding type: "Single Pass" (you can prob select a two pass encoding type if you want, but it will make the video encoding take a lot longer, and the quality difference is barely detectable.
There is a box under encoding type that lets you select the quality/size of the video clip. If the box says "Target Bitrate (kbps)", then leave it, that's the setting you want. If the box under encoding type says "Target quantizer", then click on it to change it to "Target Bitrate (kbps)"
Move the slidebar under target bitrate to about 3000 kbps (as close to the value as the slidebar will let you get, having it on exactly 3000 is not critical). If you need the video file to be smaller, you can set is as low as about 600 if you like, but the video quality will be crap. If you don't care how big the video file is, you can set it to 4000, anything over about 4000 is probably overkill.
You're done!, Click OK, then click OK again, and all you have to do now is save your file.
In the file menu, click on FILE, then click SAVE AS AVI
Choose the location you want to save the file to, click save, then it will start encoding and saving the video for you. It will take approximately as long to encode the video as the video runs for, perhaps twice as long if your computer isn't that quick (a 5 minute video will take 5-10 minutes to encode)
If you often find that you want to flip multiple video files at once (like me), there is a quick way of doing it. After each video finishes encoding, simply drag and drop the next video file onto the virtual dub window, and then save it the same way you saved the first one. All the video filter and compression settings will still be there.
