Haha thank you kindly my friend, how cool would that be! We could have viewers on each week as special guests fixing their bikes and lots of fun and banter and we could promote Penny Pitstop to be the tea lady lol!
Nice upgrade on the camera. Loved all your previous vids but the darkness sometimes made it a bit tricky to see the details of what you were working on. Thought after the bandit the vids might not be coming online as often.....glad to see you don't sit idle Del and have always got something on the go! Definitely the first RUclips subscription I check daily. Keep up the great work guys, really enjoying them.
Thanks Bernie... we try and upload something 2-3 times per week, all depends on the work shifts and how many comments and questions we get because the eat part of the overall time too... glad you like watching, really appreciate the support... Cheers Del
Yeah I think it was a great gesture too, but I guess it's not really free when you've brought a brand new bike from them just a couple of months ago... still yet to see whether they stand by it when I phone up to book it in !!
The camera quality is much better, then the last, that is for sure. More details and brighter image. And about special bolts a washers, i always visit a Fabory location (nearby), they can supply me with every special bolt or washer i want, and good info for free (lol).
Vast improvement Del the detail you can see is worlds apart, but couldn't help thinking Delboy's Garage in HD now that would be the Brilliant. Big Kudos to the Cameraman, Technical Producer and No1 Heckler Penny for getting to grips with the new equipment so seamlessly, RSMF. Craig...
Hi Craig, cheers mate... but don't big her up to much I already get enough nagging and heckling lol! tbh we have HD facility, it just takes forever to upload and many people's broadband speed won't carry it, but maybe I'll try one and see how it goes! Thanks for watching buddy, much appreciated, Del
Hi Del. Camera quality looks much better. I must admit that I was struggling a little with the previous video to see the detail of the air filter change; but I know why now. Look forward to the videos to come :)
Hi Mark.....yes indeed matey, it was the main issue, black bike and dark garage, but i have a feeling that's all about to change for the better... take care my friend... cheers, Del.
sounds like a sweet deals place to me 8)) , we got a old firm who specializes in wrecked engines and rebore, tuning and stuf , its bout 100 years old and still sits in the same spot as it started, witch today is a backyard of a residence, and looks like a bycycleshed!!! but uts quite big and old and they do things freakin awsomly and somewhat cheap.
Wow that sounds like my kind of place to spend an afternoon and it's places like that we'll eventually lose one day forever under the avalanche of main dealers with their fancy coffee machines and leather sofa'd waiting areas! Oh, and don't forget, the Customer Viewing Window lol!
Liking the new wider view angle your giving us Del, I always try to up the quality of your vids but you only upload them with a maximum of 480, don't blame you as I know how long these things can take to render and upload, I always take out the extended warranty on things sometimes it's paid off, and sometimes not, I've bought electrical items in the past and 7 years later they've contacted me to tell me that it's to old now but if I wanted to purchase another they would cover it free of charge for three years, not bad eh! and that was Currys, Sprayed and drilled sounds about right Del, I didn't know Spiders Stole pistons, that must be why I've seen people put rubber gloves over their pipes when there stripping them down, lol. Ride Safe Buddy.
I use the camera on standard default settings but now I know it works gonna upload in 720, as before, just needs a fiddle with the camera settings...thanks for watching mate, ride safe mate, Del
New camera seems better Del, Penny could also wear one of those head band type little torches on her head to act as a backlight which might help light up those dark area's on the bikes, that might work well, worth a try. Looking forward to hearing those pipes out on the road soon. Cheers, Paul.
Hi Paul, I think if I suggested that head mounted light to Penny I'd probably get it inserted lol! The low light function seems amazing, see how the definition on the black engine looks compared to the last video... total transformation.. thanks for watching mate, Del
Significant improvement on clarity and, most importantly contrast. That last video was very hard to see the detail under that side cover. It was a bit like Hotblack Desiato' s Sun Ship in Hitch Hikers. On the black control panel there is a black button with a black light that lights up black when you press it! This was way better, which I'm sure you know when reviewing the footage before posting. Oh and cheers for the heads up via bigots in Glasgow, he's contacted me about a mk1 600S Bandit he has for sale. My immediate neighbours has the exact same bike which he also might be selling, which is certainly an option too although it might be a little close to home if you know what I mean, especially as we're mates. There's only one or two 1200s worth looking at and they're a long way away. Keeping my options open for the longer. I have thought about a Yamaha xs650 twin, brat style project, but they seem as rare as hens teeth thks side of the Atlantic!
Hi Peter, just goes to show how things have changed over the years... I've had two of those XS650's and used to know Tony Hall of Halco Tuning, they have become a bit of a legend over the years and I guess that makes them rare and pricey... to be honest mate, I'd give them a wide berth, the gearboxes can be harsh and notchy, they are impossible to select neutral whilst the engine is running and like you said, they are too rare to be able to maintain... you'd actually be better with an original Bonnie as they old classic Brits are way better backed up and there are millions more of them... now there's a thought!
An original Bonnie would be my.first choice but they're beyond my purse, sadly. Even a real snotter is over £2000 in bits! A 1971/2 T120R would be my dream bike,at the top of my bucket list. I'm just not rich enough for one!
Sounds like a good idea mate, never thought of that... got it sorted now, ended up with a couple of Nissan sump plugs... thanks for your help, Cheers Del
Hi Del, you've mentioned having the Scrambler re-mapped a time or two now... For the life of me, that thing looks like it has twin CV carburetors. Are they going to flash the ECM with a different ignition curve and re-jet the carbs? Maybe you could go into the details of what the shop will be doing when the time comes... Oh, and the new camera definitely has more dynamic range and more pleasing field of view... Thanks for the great content!
Hi Shawn, see how Triumph have cleverly fooled you too!! They aren't carbs, they are throttle bodies and Triumph cleverly used the old carburetorred castings and fitted the injectors and all their associated plugs and wiring inside, the float bowls are dummy and contain nothing, I've even compared like for like and they are identical apart from the tell tale wires coming out the back of the CV cap... clever eh?! And all they will do is plug in the ECU and swop the programme for another pre-designed one...!
Yeah, that's really cool how they've done this! I found some photos and info after posting that comment... Sorry to take up your time, and thanks for the reply!
recentry leared about the air injection was into the exhaust manifolds on cars we were taught it was to aid the lambda sensors working apparently but think mostly the fresh cool air been pumped in helps burn any left over fuel ect in the exhaust fumes something like that
aye most of these new gizmoes do nothing on bikes like egr and cat converters and air box baffle things and even pcv my scooter even feeds air from the belt drive casing into the air box just too much junk I recently put a exhaust sytem on mine and it pops only 2 or 3 times on way to college about 10 miles mine dosent have air injection but the popping on down run when going down hill I suspect an air leak in the exhaust I today found one very small and tried to seal it with exhaust paste just pushed and molded it into the split underneath the exhaust clip like yours it has the grooves and tiny bit or black smoke was showing after 2 weeks of riding hope that will cure it any ideas on anything else it could be havnt messed with mixtures
lukethekanefan Hi Luke, any popping in an exhaust is caused by the combustion of unburnt mixture and is generally on over run... the hole would have been responsible for a bit of it and unless you have the fully muffled silencer it's pretty much inevitable on anything free flowing... it can even suck a bit in the tail pipe on over run when the vacuum increases inside the pipe after shutting the throttle... don't sweat it mate, doesn't do any harm...
Hi mate, I heard you mentioned the grab rail bolts you got for the bandit, I need 4. I dont suppose you know the exact sizes? No worries if not. :) Like the new camera quality, spot on!
Sure do mate, they are metric M8 x 50mm and obviously allen bolts so they fit down into the handles... don't go to the dealer though, as they are daft money, any bolt supplier has then on the shelf... good luck with it mate, Cheers Del
appeasing vegetarians and piston-stealing spiders... you got a few aloud laughs out of me with this! Great video and the low-light feature appears to work great!
Cheers Dave, just took the opportunity to invest a few extra quid and upgrade from the straight replacement... just got to fiddle about with it now and get the settings right, but that wasn't bad for straight out the box! Cheers mate, see you at the weekend...!
hi Del, yeah better lighting, also when Pen. does the close ups the focus is much quicker your not left waiting for ages for the cam to focus like before. Inside with that light is good so the outside shots will be even better with natural light. Not saying pen cant hold the cam still but how about a tri-pod with the handle. I think they would be great for what you do. Keep up the good work
Cheers mate, problem with a tripod is where to put it, we have so little space in the garage that we'd end up tripping over it half the time...! We really have to focus on the content and capturing the action rather than the movie buff side of getting too deeply involved with the equipment, the whole purpose of this camera upgrade was to make it easier, more point and shoot and less faffing about with controls... I'd love nothing more than a studio, 5ft tripod and a boom mic, but we have full time jobs and not enough hours in the day! Thanks for watching fellah and appreciate the insight!
Don't know what model Bandit you have, but mine doesn't have AIS, however, if you do have a corroded tube, it's always a good idea to deal with it if you can... Cheers Del
We can see you better now, eeeek he he :-)) Spot on camera mate, the lighting looked fine, perhaps the sensor behind the lense has more sensitivity, should be able to do repairs by candle power :-))
Sure thing mate, I think when you compare it to stills cameras it's the aperture thing, bigger lens lets in more light, then we get a wider angle as the sensor is further back from the lens... at least that's what the teenager said who sold it to us lol!
Hello question for you ,, I have an sv650 v twin no baffle in exhaust , from a cold start with half choke after its been fired up for 10 to 20 seconds it always starts backfiring for half a min then its ok ,,what would you suspect please someone thought a plug change might fix ? thanks shane
Hi mate, 20 seconds isn't really long enough to let it warm up... give it a full minute to warm up and it won't be as bad... the popping in your exhaust is unburnt fuel passing through the chamber as the engine isn't up to running efficiency yet... as long as it's not doing it once the bike's warm, it's fine! Hope that helps mate, Del
Cheers Tom, not bad for straight out the packaging... records in full HD with a few other fancy features, but as 1080 is pointless for YT, I'll set it to 720 from now on which should pick out even more detail... great piece of kit and a lot easier to use than the last one, I specially like the mains cord for those long hours in the garage lol!
I dont have any trouble with any other channel or video would you double check the setting on your editing software as I dont think its the camera. As the camera is hd only edit your footage and dont crop would appreciate very much.
The most video was loaded on 720p, and the one before in 1080,and through the editing software, its hugely more time and space consuming, but the result is better....you are the only person who says this mate, but if you are watching on a big screen then i guess you need the bigger rez..
Hi Delboy! Crackin' vids. I've just bought a Bonnie and am going to take the SAI off this weekend along with a TEC exhaust install. What size bolt was it that ended up blanking off the AI port? Keep 'em coming! Ben.
As i made clear in the video Benjamin... its a Nissan sump plug... not sure the exact thread and pitch, possibly M12 fine... but its only 3/4" long, and you need a snaller head than an M12 bolt will come with or it wont fit in the space.. so get a Nissan sump plaug buddy.. and a copper washer to go with it.! Good luck.. Del.
Hi mate, that's the first video with everything set to default settings... we usually do stuff in 720 and I will be moving up to that for the next one, but 1080 is pointless as many people's Broadband speed can't play it and YT dumb it down anyway!
Moonfleet41 I meant upload to youtube in 720, for the moment all your videos have been in 480p max, which is pretty low nowadays! Things are so much clearer in 720p. It's a bit a waist to film in 720 and then upload in 480...
I appreciate all the help and the vids are always good to watch thought if I told you which ones where different you might be able to see the difference if I could add a screen shot I would I could email you one if you wanted but if its all the same thing then there not alot you can do if its google just cant work out how one was fine the euro parts vid and the others went small again. Any hoot thanks for replying and your vids.
Thanks m8 no it doesnt do it once warm many thanks and gteat videos by the way great should have said either way will watch all ur vids ride safe and take care shane
The camera is fine, but you need to test out your render/export settings in the program you use to edit your videos. You have that letterbox style thing going on with the black bars at the top and bottom, run out a few 30 second videos and upload them to test different settings man! It helps.
Check in the videos on YT they are coming out fully framed, the camera films them in widescreen and I crop them to 16:9 for the upload stage, never had a problem before and naturally if we were more into the actual filming, like Movie buffs, then I guess we would take more time fiddling about, but the bike projects time, in the garage and answering comments and questions takes priority... we'll get to it all in time mate, thanks for the insight...!
I have a galaxy s4 which is a hd screen and and full hd lg tv when I first started watching all was fine then all a sudden it went to smaller screen and like I said every other video is normal, it happened just before the new camera so I know its not your camera and must be some sort of croping ill put it on. I've checked back and spray guard 10 11 where fine then 12 on was smaller the euro parts video was also fine on phone and tv, then the others have this smaller cropping going on its also happening to your vlogs so im sure its a setting your doing when editing. And I can't be the only one having this issue but the only one to mention it if you can fix fantastic, but if not keep up the good work and ill bear with it. :-)
Hi Stuart, honestly mate, they are playing fine this end, so there is nothing here for me to adjust......they did start come out with the black border when i uploaded them, but once i set it to 16:9 it cures it... The last two videos came out full size first time.. All this started when the Google+ thing was foist upon us, it was all fine up till then, and now i have to set every video to 16:9 in the links box when uploading... im not doing anything different with Windows Movie maker, and using Windows 7 as i have for the last two years...i have changed NOTHING here mate, and all the previous videos have been fine up till Google+ started changing everything....so anything that is different is not my doing buddy.. Sorry if its spoiling your enjoyment, i would never want that, i can imagine how frustrating it must be...but if i cannot see the issue this end, i cant deal with it...i set every video to 16:9 at the upload stage and they come out full screen, and will load the garage work in 720p from now on so it doesn't pixelate because so many people are telling u they watch on large screens.. Thanks again for the heads up mate, we are working all the time to make the videos better, but the whole recent shake up has been a real trial to have to embrace and deal with, we spend 4 hours a night at it as it as after work, and thats without even looking at all that stuff about circles and wotnot.. Cheers mate.. Del.
I watch on my phone as I have always and ur video seems worse and not filling whole screen like it did and my phone has a 1080 hd screen dont know whats going on as everyone else saying its better
I think it's linked to this new Google+ as all this has started happening since the change over... I set the crop to 16:9, which eliminates the border on my laptop and PC, I do hear from a few people that on phones it seems to show with the border, I can assure you it's loaded in full format this end
Looks clear and bright! Keep up the fantastic work. And like I always say... DEL NEEDS HIS OWN SHOW!

Haha thank you kindly my friend, how cool would that be! We could have viewers on each week as special guests fixing their bikes and lots of fun and banter and we could promote Penny Pitstop to be the tea lady lol!
Nice upgrade on the camera. Loved all your previous vids but the darkness sometimes made it a bit tricky to see the details of what you were working on. Thought after the bandit the vids might not be coming online as often.....glad to see you don't sit idle Del and have always got something on the go! Definitely the first RUclips subscription I check daily. Keep up the great work guys, really enjoying them.
Thanks Bernie... we try and upload something 2-3 times per week, all depends on the work shifts and how many comments and questions we get because the eat part of the overall time too... glad you like watching, really appreciate the support... Cheers Del
Looks great! I really enjoyed the part bout a motorcycle company doing ANYTHING for free. Looking forward to the next installment!
Yeah I think it was a great gesture too, but I guess it's not really free when you've brought a brand new bike from them just a couple of months ago... still yet to see whether they stand by it when I phone up to book it in !!
The camera quality is much better, then the last, that is for sure.
More details and brighter image. And about special bolts a washers, i always visit a Fabory location (nearby), they can supply me with every special bolt or washer i want, and good info for free (lol).
Vast improvement Del the detail you can see is worlds apart, but couldn't help thinking Delboy's Garage in HD now that would be the Brilliant. Big Kudos to the Cameraman, Technical Producer and No1 Heckler Penny for getting to grips with the new equipment so seamlessly,

Hi Craig, cheers mate... but don't big her up to much I already get enough nagging and heckling lol! tbh we have HD facility, it just takes forever to upload and many people's broadband speed won't carry it, but maybe I'll try one and see how it goes! Thanks for watching buddy, much appreciated, Del
Looks like the new camera did the job, nice vid. Good info on the AIS system,,,,
Ride Safe,,,
Hi Del. Camera quality looks much better. I must admit that I was struggling a little with the previous video to see the detail of the air filter change; but I know why now. Look forward to the videos to come :)
Hi Mark.....yes indeed matey, it was the main issue, black bike and dark garage, but i have a feeling that's all about to change for the better... take care my friend... cheers, Del.
sounds like a sweet deals place to me 8)) , we got a old firm who specializes in wrecked engines and rebore, tuning and stuf , its bout 100 years old and still sits in the same spot as it started, witch today is a backyard of a residence, and looks like a bycycleshed!!! but uts quite big and old and they do things freakin awsomly and somewhat cheap.
Wow that sounds like my kind of place to spend an afternoon and it's places like that we'll eventually lose one day forever under the avalanche of main dealers with their fancy coffee machines and leather sofa'd waiting areas! Oh, and don't forget, the Customer Viewing Window lol!
Excellent camera work Penny and the low light setting is definitely an improvement! X
Looks great with the new camera del :)
Liking the new wider view angle your giving us Del, I always try to up the quality of your vids but you only upload them with a maximum of 480, don't blame you as I know how long these things can take to render and upload, I always take out the extended warranty on things sometimes it's paid off, and sometimes not, I've bought electrical items in the past and 7 years later they've contacted me to tell me that it's to old now but if I wanted to purchase another they would cover it free of charge for three years, not bad eh! and that was Currys,
Sprayed and drilled sounds about right Del, I didn't know Spiders Stole pistons, that must be why I've seen people put rubber gloves over their pipes when there stripping them down, lol. Ride Safe Buddy.
I use the camera on standard default settings but now I know it works gonna upload in 720, as before, just needs a fiddle with the camera settings...thanks for watching mate, ride safe mate, Del

Hi Paul, I think if I suggested that head mounted light to Penny I'd probably get it inserted lol! The low light function seems amazing, see how the definition on the black engine looks compared to the last video... total transformation.. thanks for watching mate, Del
Significant improvement on clarity and, most importantly contrast. That last video was very hard to see the detail under that side cover. It was a bit like Hotblack Desiato' s Sun Ship in Hitch Hikers. On the black control panel there is a black button with a black light that lights up black when you press it! This was way better, which I'm sure you know when reviewing the footage before posting.
Oh and cheers for the heads up via bigots in Glasgow, he's contacted me about a mk1 600S Bandit he has for sale. My immediate neighbours has the exact same bike which he also might be selling, which is certainly an option too although it might be a little close to home if you know what I mean, especially as we're mates. There's only one or two 1200s worth looking at and they're a long way away. Keeping my options open for the longer. I have thought about a Yamaha xs650 twin, brat style project, but they seem as rare as hens teeth thks side of the Atlantic!
Couple of bizarre spelling corrections there, sorry. Bloody tablets!
Hi Peter, just goes to show how things have changed over the years... I've had two of those XS650's and used to know Tony Hall of Halco Tuning, they have become a bit of a legend over the years and I guess that makes them rare and pricey... to be honest mate, I'd give them a wide berth, the gearboxes can be harsh and notchy, they are impossible to select neutral whilst the engine is running and like you said, they are too rare to be able to maintain... you'd actually be better with an original Bonnie as they old classic Brits are way better backed up and there are millions more of them... now there's a thought!
An original Bonnie would be my.first choice but they're beyond my purse, sadly. Even a real snotter is over £2000 in bits! A 1971/2 T120R would be my dream bike,at the top of my bucket list. I'm just not rich enough for one!
Hi Del,video quality is much better
If you cant get the bolt you want try a 12mm stop end from a plumbers merchant,
Sounds like a good idea mate, never thought of that... got it sorted now, ended up with a couple of Nissan sump plugs... thanks for your help, Cheers Del
Great video a lot better quality video can't wait for some more videos with this new camera keep up the great work :)
Thanks Josh! New camera is a lot simpler, less settings to mess about with and a better quality lens, so more focused on what we need it for!
Hi Del its looking good
Cant wait till you go 3D I've ordered my glasses already
Sorry Del, I see what Keihin has done with the carb look alikes... That's brilliant!
Hi Del, you've mentioned having the Scrambler re-mapped a time or two now... For the life of me, that thing looks like it has twin CV carburetors. Are they going to flash the ECM with a different ignition curve and re-jet the carbs? Maybe you could go into the details of what the shop will be doing when the time comes...

Good result with the camera buddy, nice quality
Cheers Dave, just took the opportunity to invest a few extra quid and upgrade from the straight replacement... just got to fiddle about with it now and get the settings right, but that wasn't bad for straight out the box! Cheers mate, see you at the weekend...!
2015 triumph America LT owner here. I’ve fitted some pipes from Maverick customs. Do you need to do a retune after doing this ?

Del is this like the pairs on a bandit ,would you recommend removing as mines got bad corrosion on the metal pipes .New camera looking great.
Don't know what model Bandit you have, but mine doesn't have AIS, however, if you do have a corroded tube, it's always a good idea to deal with it if you can... Cheers Del
We can see you better now, eeeek he he :-))

Hope that helps mate, Del
Nice and clear Del, but I'm still waiting for 3D and oilovision...
3d... that will be good for reaching out to the viewers..lol
Camera looks great buddy!! PM coming.
Cheers Tom, not bad for straight out the packaging... records in full HD with a few other fancy features, but as 1080 is pointless for YT, I'll set it to 720 from now on which should pick out even more detail... great piece of kit and a lot easier to use than the last one, I specially like the mains cord for those long hours in the garage lol!

Video with the new camera is much better Del, but the audio needs to be slowed down a bit for us southerners...lol
haha thanks mate! Maybe I'll do some subtitles eh lol!
Delboy have you any answer to the Speedmaster starting problem .
?
Nice video quality!
Why don't you guys upload in 720p or 1080p?
That would make a huge difference...
Hi mate, that's the first video with everything set to default settings... we usually do stuff in 720 and I will be moving up to that for the next one, but 1080 is pointless as many people's Broadband speed can't play it and YT dumb it down anyway!

I meant upload to youtube in 720, for the moment all your videos have been in 480p max, which is pretty low nowadays! Things are so much clearer in 720p.
It's a bit a waist to film in 720 and then upload in 480...
I appreciate all the help and the vids are always good to watch thought if I told you which ones where different you might be able to see the difference if I could add a screen shot I would I could email you one if you wanted but if its all the same thing then there not alot you can do if its google just cant work out how one was fine the euro parts vid and the others went small again. Any hoot thanks for replying and your vids.
Thanks m8 no it doesnt do it once warm many thanks and gteat videos by the way great should have said either way will watch all ur vids ride safe and take care shane
There is a big black boarder around the video
Not now Shaun, all dealt with, I have to load them up then re-size the crop to 16.9, should be ok now...
The camera is fine, but you need to test out your render/export settings in the program you use to edit your videos. You have that letterbox style thing going on with the black bars at the top and bottom, run out a few 30 second videos and upload them to test different settings man! It helps.
Check in the videos on YT they are coming out fully framed, the camera films them in widescreen and I crop them to 16:9 for the upload stage, never had a problem before and naturally if we were more into the actual filming, like Movie buffs, then I guess we would take more time fiddling about, but the bike projects time, in the garage and answering comments and questions takes priority... we'll get to it all in time mate, thanks for the insight...!
Id love to come to england to visit. I had to google "wotcher" :P
+wetnoodl Ayup Noodl! You'd be more than welcome brother, there's plenty of us over here to show you a good time in the British biker lifestyle !
I have a galaxy s4 which is a hd screen and and full hd lg tv when I first started watching all was fine then all a sudden it went to smaller screen and like I said every other video is normal, it happened just before the new camera so I know its not your camera and must be some sort of croping ill put it on. I've checked back and spray guard 10 11 where fine then 12 on was smaller the euro parts video was also fine on phone and tv, then the others have this smaller cropping going on its also happening to your vlogs so im sure its a setting your doing when editing. And I can't be the only one having this issue but the only one to mention it if you can fix fantastic, but if not keep up the good work and ill bear with it. :-)
Hi Stuart, honestly mate, they are playing fine this end, so there is nothing here for me to adjust......they did start come out with the black border when i uploaded them, but once i set it to 16:9 it cures it... The last two videos came out full size first time..
All this started when the Google+ thing was foist upon us, it was all fine up till then, and now i have to set every video to 16:9 in the links box when uploading... im not doing anything different with Windows Movie maker, and using Windows 7 as i have for the last two years...i have changed NOTHING here mate, and all the previous videos have been fine up till Google+ started changing everything....so anything that is different is not my doing buddy..
Sorry if its spoiling your enjoyment, i would never want that, i can imagine how frustrating it must be...but if i cannot see the issue this end, i cant deal with it...i set every video to 16:9 at the upload stage and they come out full screen, and will load the garage work in 720p from now on so it doesn't pixelate because so many people are telling u they watch on large screens..
Thanks again for the heads up mate, we are working all the time to make the videos better, but the whole recent shake up has been a real trial to have to embrace and deal with, we spend 4 hours a night at it as it as after work, and thats without even looking at all that stuff about circles and wotnot..
Cheers mate..
Del.
muito bonita..... 5 stars. abraço
Muito obrigado meu amigo!
I watch on my phone as I have always and ur video seems worse and not filling whole screen like it did and my phone has a 1080 hd screen dont know whats going on as everyone else saying its better
I think it's linked to this new Google+ as all this has started happening since the change over... I set the crop to 16:9, which eliminates the border on my laptop and PC, I do hear from a few people that on phones it seems to show with the border, I can assure you it's loaded in full format this end
