IrishPower...video help...

[Imnotdutch]

If irishpower is unable to help you might contact Jason Burnell at www.deepsquatter.com . He used to have a link to a site called freaksonature that was full of videos. I'm sure he will be able to help.

Just sent you a PM...it is nearly 4am and I am about to go crazy here...lol.

I am taking videos that are about 15 sec long and they are 5megs large..at least. I can't get the audio to work either...yuck.

How do I compress my files into something smaller? Any certiain web hosting that you suggest that I use to store these large files???

MODS: I know that this might not have a lot to do with powerlifting/strength training...but if recording my workouts help me to analyze how I do things and I can improve from it...then it has to do with strength training. Hope I can make a site where I can post these too...

i posted u a link for vcdhelp.com which will tell you exactly how to convert the files. they have tons of help files there. check under CONVERT and it will tell you have to change from whatever video format you're using to something different. you are probably looking for mpeg -> avi or mpeg -> asf.

Hey BFold,

Sorry it took so long. busy day yesterday.

Here are a couple of suggestions.

1. you could dump the raw .avi files onto my ftp server and i could run a couple of converter programs on it to see which works. do you know how to use ftp? if yes, i will set you up with a password.

2. you could try the converter program yourself.... www.vidomi.com provides an encoder/converter program. it will save to .divx format which is ultra compressed. in addition, it should be able to grab the audio automatically as well.

3. if you want a walk through, i don't mind talking to you on the phone. all for the love of the sport

regarding hosting these files: i can't imagine any free hosting service giving you more than a few megs. if you convert to .divx format, you should be able to squeeze the files down so you can store one or two. go to msn.com. i think if you sign up for a community, you can get access to this. last time i played with this, it was a pain in the ass.

i actually have my own server with 300gb of storage on it. i also have decent up bandwidth (1.5mbps). that is why i can stream out my videos easily. i could put yours up there as well. i don't mind. one of these days, i am going to get off my ass and work on an interactive site with videos, training logs, etc.

take care and let me know.
