that I put together, then cut most of the bad spots out of it. Still some there but it made a good practice one to mess around with. Tell ya, hard to settle on a program that gives what I'm after. I'm using Roxio 2010, but it saves in and odd ball format that only that program will play. It really does a nice job, but U-tube do regonize it in one of there formats. They have another one, that makes it a WMV file but to be honest, it really down grades and this cheaper cam corder don't need any downgrading. I also am trying it with Windows Movie Maker. It does it but still not what I want. I'm still playing with different programs. I did find out tonight that U-Tube would accept a MOV file from my Canon cam. That seems to do ok. I'm not sure what they convert do and it donwgrades it some. The MPG you mentioned seem to do the best in not degrading the movie. Takes a lot of time for sure..... More than I have right now with winter starting to breath down my neck and not much wood in the back yard. Still out in the woods... Oh yeah, U-tube now says they will take up to a 15 minute clip.... I have a lot to learn. Your clips are nice and smooth, clear etc. I need a lot of practice....I was surprised the one I posted as it was really getting dark but it came out ok.... I did find in the program how to lighten it up, but kept messing it up saving so I just gave up..Can't jump around or at least I can't.... I'm in the progressive fumbling stage now Royal.... Even learned a few new words.....LOL......... Hey, I liked your mushroom clips...Neat stuff, I 've never seen any like that in these parts. I'll work on some small ones, 30 seconds and post a few of them of the guy on the ramp or if you like go into our club web site or just type in the name I used of yankeewa1nla to see all that I've been working on....some are junk, I just have not deleted them yet...
