Default VIDEOS with my new camcorder

The Viper guys went out to have some fun at E-town last night and it was a perfect opportunity do some testing with the new camcorder. Shot some Mean Street and Real Street but have not processed those yet.

What started out as and nice easy task, has turned out to be a three hour job.

Next time will be easier. This was my first time out with the camera

I do not have xp so not sure what the deal is. Make sure you have the latetest windows media player from microsoft (V 9) and then tell me if you still have a problem.

Really cool videos, Edgar. I'm glad you caught a few of me because I forgot to bring my video camera. It seems like you missed to take the video of the MAIN event, though.......... THE PARKING LOT WAX RACE!

I'm soooo embarassed to be a Viper owner. 10 Vipers show up and only 4 race. But, hey, I've seen worse. At least I didn't have to drive 5 hours each way to race.

Good to see you again Edgar. Thanks for the videos.

Paul

P.S. They may sound like UPS trucks but they put up the numbers. What I've done in my stock Viper so far (in hot and humid summer air) I was never able to do in my stock Z06. Two different animals and I love my Z06 to death but stock Z vs stock Viper, there is no way the snake loses. My Viper WILL run 11.70s bone stock on street tires in November air. I'm convinced it's possible.

The first video worked but I am unable to view the others The first Video was Paul under tower. I did download the 9 version. I was not able to view the first video before. Strange that I am only able to watch the first vidoe and not the others.

Rob, if you right click and save as, can you then view them from your machine?

Edgar,

Nice videos! BTW, I am running XP and can view the videos fine.

I saw you there Friday night but didn't get a chance to talk to you.

By any chance did you get any videos of my brother's copper Mustang? He set a new personal record of 11.10 @ 126 which was surprising considering how bad the air was.

Edgar,
Nice Videos!
They worked fine on my PC with XP and I viewed them directly from your link w/o doing a "Save As".

What software did you use for edits?
Brian
