No picking on the crappy video, still working on making better video clips.

Stormy filming me going up a really tight section of trail in North Reading.

I don't know what you consider tight, but that wasn't tight.
I would have been hard pressed to make that take more than 30 seconds smile

but that's because you are so cool.

I took a while as I spotted a few Discos through that took a lot longer than me. The only really tight section is at the bottom, the rest was just listening to the spotter.

Next time it won't take 1/2 as long.

It's a lot steeper than it looks too, and loose, and there's a dropoff into a nasty gulley on the right.

Trust me, That would have taken you just as long... As always, you can't really tell the angle or how unstable the ground is from the picture. I had a hard enough time walking up it.

OK, I'll take your word for it. One of these days I'm going to get up that-a-way and maybe I'll get a chance to see for myself.

Nice video...what do you have for a digital video camera?

sharp digital. I imported it into premiere, made an AVI, then converted it to Real. I know there has to be an easier and cleaner way, also I want to cut down the size of the files.

Matt, try out FlaskMPEG. It lets you use lots of different codecs, compressions, sizes etc to get really small but useable videos. Anything has to be better than .rm!!
