| is the wenatchee melt coming to a close? I might be heading over there for some climbing and (hopefully) kayaking. it's supposed to get hot later next week, will the water come up? if not I'll try and do some laps on fitw on the way over and back. |

FITW FINALE!!!  Last night was going to be the last for me, but since I left some items up there, I am going back to retrieve them, so lets make a party out of it! I don't have a barbecue, but if someone lets me know they are bringing one, I'll buy some brawts. I had a great FITW season, and I want to send it off right. Who's in for beers and barbecue at the pass this evening? |

I like the idea but I'm not bringing a BBQ. If time permits, I might stop and get a 12pk though. ------------- ... preparing for a river beating! |

| I saved the video as a MPEG4 video, which I thought is pretty standard, Dave... I dunno this is my first time editing video. Maybe an AVI file would be better. I think if you right-click save it you may be able to open it directly thru a video player you have on your computer. |

| Thanks for the feedback on the video. My first time editing. It's kinda fun. I might have to get me a real vid camera and get into making vids. |

Actually what I have been finding out, is that using youtube then embedding is the easiest for posting videos. That way you don't use space on the pp server and it works on any computer when you view youtube.
Otherwise the way you did it was fine and once I switched to internet explorer it worked fine, it was my bad for using mozilla. I really enjoyed the video btw... especially when I saw myself boofing for once! ------------- Nomad |
