I'll make this as short as I can but that will still be long. As most of you know I accidentally hit a button the other day and discovered that I could make videos with my Sony digital camera. I posted 5 of them on YouTube.
Yesterday I decided to experiment and see how long a video I could
make. I started it leaving my apartment and showing some sights around Gateway until I got to The Point. A few neighbors were there including a couple with their dogs.

Without getting into it there were 3 guys discussing Treyver Martin, the Gateway administration and a few
other things that I am sure they wouldn't want overheard! Also every
once in awhile a plane practicing for the air show this weekend went
zooming over and I tried getting a shot without too much luck.

By
the time the tape was over I had recorded 27 minutes. I went home to
download it and I must admit I was shocked by seeing that it would take
over 800 minutes to download the tape!!! I immediately e-mailed my guru
Chuck and he explained why but I couldn't believe it. In any case by the
time I was ready to go to sleep it was still downloading so I left it
as it was.

The first thing I saw in the morning when I looked at the Internet monitor I saw the following message:

This video has been removed because it is too long.

Sorry about that.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Chuck
directed me to Start>programs>Windows Movie Maker   I played
around with that for a bit and was able to 'split' the video into
sections but couldn't download or send them.

By
the way, that's another story--I tried to e-mail the video via my yahoo
account and they said it was too big but I could if I got a 'sendit'
which of cost would cost money.

I
decided to take Chuck's advice and not make anymore 27 minute videos. I
am going back to 2 minutes or less, which is what I did today when
Allen and I went to BurgerI for lunch--I hope you will take a look at the videos I have posted so far, leave a comment and, hey, why not subscribe to my YouTube site? Just go to:
