Wow, Nine hours. That's a far drive. Drive Safe. We all are looking forward to what happens there and even more what will be put up on YOUTUBE first. I'm looking forwars in paying out contincency . This is more than worth it for all Stock and superstock racers, crew and fans of the greatest spectical in Dragracing. I have to clear out some space on my email . It filled up last night. ps. Go Larry Hill!

Not sure, but you may need a pro account to post vids that long. The ones I posted took hours to post and that was only 6 of them.

Well, the good news is that I made it here safely, and that I got over 2 hours of HD video, most of S/S class eliminations. The bad news is that I currently don't have any way to get it off of the video camera and onto a PC, nor will I probably have time to get the video transferred. The local CompUSA's don't stock the IEEE 1394 PCMCIA adapter I need, and there was no way to order one to get it shipped here for today (I got here too late).

All that said, I don't think posting all the video on YouTube was realistic. I took a 15 second 240 x 180 (or something like that) video earlier today with my cameraphone, and that was 500kb in size. You can only imagine what 2 HOURS of HD video would be size wise. So, to do it, not only would it probably take hours and hours and hours to transfer the video to the PC, but then it would take countless more hours to try to edit the stuff in an attempt to distill it down to the bare minimum to make it postable on YouTube.

I haven't completely given up hope yet, but at this point I'm not very optimistic either. We'll see...I'm off to Wal-Mart tomorrow morning to buy more tapes. Maybe by some stroke of luck they'll have the IEEE 1394 adapter that I need (I could really use another rechargeable battery too, as the two that I have barely made it through S/S class elims!)

You know what Jason? Even if you can't get it done, it was a great effort and I salute you for even undertaking such a project! Thanks. jim

I've put a few You Tube videos up from Stock Class, but it takes some time. They have a 10 minute/100MB rule for uploads. I found that 6-7 minutes were taking 60-70 MB.

The Danny Black wheelstand I posted yesterday is rated #17 most watched auto video on You Tube today with 2200 views.
