xBhp Tri State G2G video editing

Recently, I went on a road trip to Yercaud along with all my biking pals. I took a camcorder to get my hands dirty with some video editing. While trying to record the videos, I had some hard learning.
  1. A camera mount on the handle bar or to any part of the bike doesn't really help if the road is slightly bumpy or if the speed is high. The video is pretty shaky. The best I could get was when I strapped the camera on to the helmet.
  2. Quite some shake to the camcorder makes is difficult for it to record. Some times it also corrupts videos that have already been recorded.
After some trials, I got a bunch of clippings that I got back home and edited. The final video can be seen below. I used Adobe Premiere CS3 for the editing. The content of the recording was on the DVD, so I didn't have to spend time on the conversion. However, I used OJOsoft Total Video Converter to convert the DVD format to editable AVI format.
