<p>[quote user="Bob grech"]Thanks! That was really cool!!!! <br /><br />Can you post a tuturial on how to download videos? <br /><br />Thanks again! <br />Bob....[/quote]</p><p>It's not the downloading, it is actually uploading the video to a free site such as You Tube.</p><p>The way I did mine was take the camcorder (Sony DV) and transfer the video off the tape onto my RAID via firewire. Opened Roxio 7 Software and edited the video for file size I think an hour worth of DV vido = 16 gigabyte of disk space on the hard drive. Anyways 10 minutes of youtube video runs at about 100 mb or less in final size.</p><p>Upload to you tube and copy the resulting information linking to the video and post about it somewhere such as these forums.</p><p>I must caution that uploading to you tube was about 90 kb/sec capped for me Im about 700 kb up on my DSL and it can take up to a half hour to shove it.</p><p>Of course there are any number of free hosting sites that will take a video of some size and will be free. I think videos of model trains running are very good to have and really helps when an engine or railroad is being enjoyed (Or evaluated for potential purchase)</p><p>The problems with internet video is the resolution. You can have a very powerful optic lens and a awesome camera to back it up (Not digital video, those use a plate that can reduce the quality when zoomed in) and the resulting video will be very good. Sadly it is expensive still for the equiptment.</p><p>I myself no longer use Youtube because spammers got into my messages about totally unwelcome and non-hobby related subjects. However I am considering another free video site to "Store" them and still make them availible to others.</p><p>Good Luck!</p>
