You can't really judge the actual picture on the internet unfortunately, due to the quality that is lost when the video is compressed into a computer file.

I suggest downloading it vs viewing it in your browser, until I fix the internet streaming.
The quality of the original tape is excellent in comparison to quality following the compression making the video internet ready.
FWIW, The camera was mounted in the fog lamp on the driver's side of the car. For a point of reference, it is in-line with the inside edge of the tire. The location was just an experiment on this car. Had I had my battery time, I would have tried out 4 or more other locations during following sessions.
The format for the quicktime video is:
Sound: IMA 4:1 Stereo, 24 kHz, 16 bits
Video: Sorenson Video Codec, 360 x 270, Millions, key frame: 240 frames, data rate: 90 KBytes/sec
FPS: 23.96
Duration: 5:20
The video is approximately 36 mb and I thought it had hinted internet streaming, but for some reason it doesn't. Thus, until I re-export the file, it'll take a while to view if you want to see it via your browser. I could have created a smaller file by reducing the frame rate to 20 frames per second and/or changed the sound output to mono. But, since there's no engine or tire sound I thought I'd keep the stereo to make it somewhat enjoyable.
