I’m surprised more people do not create mini movies of say a decoder install or the creation of a Ho scale bridge. I see some potential for people to learn a lot more from actually seeing a process from start to finish. Nothing to crazy with say background music or something. Maybe something is out there already. I do know MR does some type of video’s but think the general public may create some unique twists to certain projects. Like showcasing the way “you” created your benchwork.
Videos, unfortunately, eat up a tremendous amount of space. Even on a broadband connection, they take a long time to upload or download, and somebody has to pay for all that disk space up there. I put together a 45-second video and uploaded it to www.youtube.com , a free hosting site. That 45 seconds was almost 100 megabytes, the limit that youtube allows.
I disagree. Google Video is free with no size limitations. Unless you decide to charge people to view the video. Honestly I would pay a reasonable fee.
I don’t think 100 meg is unreasonable for a video download on a broadband connection.
I might add your 100 Meg video was a 45 second video? What type of compression decoder did you use?
Admittedly, I did nothing to optimize this. I took the video signal (which is from a microcam mounted in the front of a Life-Like subway car) and plugged it into a tape camcorder. I then played back the tape into a video input card on my computer and turned it into a video clip using the Roxio software from my DVD burner.

if you’re interested. (Hmmm, it was 1:45, not 0:45.)
