    So first off, why not more video? Come on, everyone has video cameras these days! Take some video!

    Second off, let's talk about video sharing. I recently took a video I posted here, I put it on youtube to share. But the quality is not so good. It's shot with a HD (1080i) camcorder, so I was looking for better options. I found blip.tv from some reviews. Both versions are linked below.

    Can you download the higher resolution (blip.tv) in a reasonable time?

    Is the quality improvement worth the effort?

    Would you like to see higher quality (blip.tv is about 1/2 HD, heavily compressed)?

    Why don't more people post video?

    [Note: The blip default is higher quality flash, you can also download the original quicktime from the Select a Format pulldown.]

    I've already made quite a few videos. Look at my videos at YouTube or at my homepage. There's a higher resolution.
    But I've no video camera, only a Canon Power Shot A640.

    :eek: Well, I don't have a video camera. Years ago, we had a VHS. It was really nice. But just didn't get it out. Instead, always used the SLR. So, we sold it.

    I see your coal train and raise you. Shot this one a couple of weeks ago back where I grew up--handheld digital camera, not an actual video camera, so apologies for the quality:

    Won't be me. I just started fooling around with the video option on my canon, so the only other video I have is a nine second clip of a 2-10-2 on a flat car being moved into the yard.
