  • Exporting to vbo/dbn should be nice!
  • And I think authors already knows about this link: http://www.velocitybox.co.uk/index.php/support/vbox-faqs.html#logging
    With article: "2. What is the format of a 'vbo' file?"
    So, format is the simple text file with similar to csv structure.
    Also there are many samples already exist in VBoxTools software.
  • Hello again.

    Maybe somebody needs to use in Racelogic's tools some already logged data from the Android version of RaceChrono.
    So, as temporary solution, I created useful tool by myself.
    It can convert from csv file, generated by RaceChrono to vbo files.
    Can I put here sharing link for download my tool? (Because I don't know exactly about exe file sharing rules here)
  • I guess you could link it.
  • Ok, here first version of tool: http://www.mediafire.com/?i67w995n5w4psbf
    Maybe tool still have some bugs so, please, point.
  • thank a lot, it's very useful!
  • Just small fix.
    Circuit Tools 2 dont want to draw track when sats count = 3.

    Hey WarMaker,

    I'mvery interested by this Racetools software.
    I have tried to convert the .csv file exported by Racechrono v.1.45 but your software returns me some errors.
    Sometimes it's "I/O Error 32", sometimes it's " '0.44590776' is not a valid timestamp".

    Is your software working only for Android versions ?

    Anyway, thanks for your job !

    EDIT : What an idiot I am !! The VBO file exporting already exists on Racechrono v.1.45...
    I'm so sorry. But I'll try your software after this week-end, trying RC 2.21 for the first time :-)
  • Hello. Yes. My tool tested only with android's cvs files.
    You may send to me symbian version of csv file and I will put enchanced features for them.
  • I just used your tool to convert csv files exported from Racechrono for Android 2.21. Worked like a charm. Thanks very much or that. :)

    It would be very nice to get a direct export to VBO from the Android app for us PerformanceBox/RaceLogic users. I used to have it in my S60 version and I really miss it.
  • magna_blue, sure, I will do it, but no promises on schedule :)
  • The new v2.40 beta 1 supports exporting VBO format. Please join the beta group to get it.
  • Do I got it right that originally vbo file also contains video? Since pro version have synced video, can it also export it to vbo format?
  • I do not have a VBO sample with video metadata, and I haven't ever seen one. If some one has, please send them to tracks(at)racechrono.com
  • Ok, my bad... It seems that VBOX writes separate avi files additionaly to VBO files...
    So now question is - how can I get RaceChrono recorded videos in proper format so I can see video in Circuit tools together with vbo data?
  • edited July 2014
    MAV, do the VBO files contain any metadata information related to the video? Such as file names? Or is all of the metadata in the AVI files?
  • MAVMAV

    Unfortunately, I never had VBOX to check it out, I found these file examples and I can't see any differences from RC generated files http://www.trackday-instructor.co.uk/Video-Vbox-Data-Files.html
    In this tutorial below they ask to use special rename button so circuit tools could rename both .vbo and video files to keep them linked. So I think that filenames are important...



  • I've uploaded a couple of VBOX .vbo and corresponding .avi files in a Google Drive shared folder, if you want to have a look.

  • Now I see it... Fields avifileindex and avisynctime are added in VBOX files containing name of video file and time to sync.
  • Yep, that looks quite simple. Although 99.99% of the phones do not output AVI files, but I will experiment with that at some point anyways.
  • Does the current RC Android export video along with data to Circuit tools? I am trying to get to .vbo data only at the moment as per http://goo.gl/8cXlJj but this does interest me.
  • Not currently, but it is a TO-DO item. Here's how to do it manually http://www.racechrono.com/forum/#/discussion/comment/7750
  • I mention this process on here
