Video Sharing

I know I am repeating myself but this was another new experience for me. I do not own a video camera now although I used to have one of the big VHS camcorders that you set on your shoulder. Wow, has the technology gotten smaller or what?? I shot my short video clip using an older Kodak digital camera. Needless to say, there is no audio with the clip, which brings me to another subject. That is creating audio to go with a video clip. I recorded an audio clip to add to my video, which I thought I would be able to do on Windows Movie Maker but this is not possible since my video files were stored with the mov. extension which is not supported by Windows. There are some conversion programs out there but none of them seemed worth the trouble of installing. I am sure there is another way of doing this, I just have not figured it out yet. I shot the video clip on a job site earlier this week in suburban St. Louis county, MO. It is a routine job of removing some slack in a span of primary wire, rated at 7200 volts so that we could pull up the neutral wire to sag to gain clearance over the street. This was pretty straightforward. The quality of the video is poor and my unsteady hand does not help matters. I was however, trying to watch them and not get hit by a car while I was doing it!!!! As I was saying last week, I do like the educational aspect of the video format, eg. how to videos. It would seem that you can get instructions on most anything. For example, building the paver patio that I showed pictures of last week to solving the Rubiks cube, or changing a hard drive in a laptop computer. As we have talked about before, the information is out there, it is just a matter of finding it. I uploaded the video to vimeo.com for no other reason than it was extremely easy to sign up and begin uploading. I checked out Google video first but they are no longer accepting uploaded videos. Here is a link to the video http://www.vimeo.com/5753030
