im assuming you need to upload the video in to a video uploader on the web.(do free ones exist)

and then put it into the image tags so that it loads.

am i right?

Manos · 08 January 2004, 17:17

don't have a clue

I was just thinking uploading the vid file on one of my web sites in a file and then putting a link to the file.
Will try it see if it works and if it does ........... there will be some very racing videos to come!!

Have you got a video of one of those boats coming up the beach at 30 knts?

Jonny Fuller · 08 January 2004, 18:55

You need the video file to be something like an Mpeg (viewed easily by windows media player) or a Flash file (this is more compressed, and can be set up so if the viewer doesn't have Flash player, he can download it free)
These files then need to be uploaded to a server just as Manos said, then a simple URL link to it.
Alternatively, you can embed a flash link into a post which will play the video as soon as you open the page/post, the default setting for flash loops the vid, so until you close the page, it keeps playing.

have a look at this

It's 5 meg, so will take a while to load, it's living on one of my other web sites, with a link from BM

or try this one

Yep is about right. Now I have to upload the video on to the pc and edit it. It looks like I'll be on it all night

Trouble is now I need a more powerful computer than my Tesco's 600mhz Celeron,.

You think thats bad Alan. i use film but scan the Negs to produce digital images on max res at 4000x4000 pixels (16Meg) these produce 70MB files!!!

One question is uppermost in my mind......why?

chrisallse · 08 January 2004, 20:20

Why What

Jonny Fuller · 08 January 2004, 22:07

Why such high res, are you making very large posters, or sending them to publishers, or just posting stuff on the net.

chrisallse · 08 January 2004, 22:20

To change all my my conventional equipment (cameras and lenses etc) to a set up that could match this sort of resolution would cost as much as a good boat. this way i get the performnce of film with the benefit of digital handling. If i want to post on the web i of course reduce the size but if i want top quality prints i dont

The Jackeens · 08 January 2004, 22:40

Reeeeeely nice pic Chrisallse...Is your other 1/2 a poster cos I may have invited them to Waver's Do...

I got a Canon EOS Digital SLR for Xmas. Takes all the normal canon EF lenses and since I had a normal EOS it seemed to make sense. I found that I was not using normal camera at all and was using my Fuji 2 mp point and shoot all the time. I really like the ability to post produce photos on the ol' PC. Makes up for taking poor photos in the first place

! Can't be arsed with scanning etc so decided now that digital SLR's are relatively affordable this was the way to go. As I say only downside now is I really need a more powerful computer to muck around with prints in paintsjop pro or photoshop elements!

My favourite pic so far attached. A somewhat grey colour original, not taken level is sorted out and much more effective as Black and White!

chrisallse · 08 January 2004, 22:47

Thanks Missus... yes she just read it thanks.it looks like we are going to the boat show on Sat 17th

The Jackeens · 08 January 2004, 22:47

Missus

Keep em comin...!!!!

simmons0 · 08 January 2004, 23:02

not so bad now cos you can have the pictures from a normal camera put on CD instead of printed and given to you.

Just got a few of mine from the skiing hols back.

Early mornign in Les Arc:

Manos · 08 January 2004, 23:02

simmons0 · 08 January 2004, 23:03

About to go back down into the cloud:
It was snowing heavily down there.

simmons0 · 08 January 2004, 23:04

Gotta post this one. My son about 8 foot up in the air having flown off a jump that the camera is too crap to make out.
