Taking A Crack at Videoblogging
I’m going to attempt to provide a video file for people to download to see if it will be feasible for me to start providing some video on this site. I won’t leave the files up for too long because after a while they will start hogging space and bandwidth on my web server but I do want to see how well this is going to work. If any of you have ideas about how I can do this in a better way please let me know…I’m very new at this kind of thing and am still trying to figure out the best way to use my blog software to serve video. I want to learn how I can stream video from the site instead of providing it for download.
Click here for a short video of a portion of the dinner conversation Corryn and I had before her bedtime this evening. IMPORTANT NOTE: This video clip is 4.7 Megs…that means that on a dial-up internet connection it could take 15-20 minutes to download. I recommend downloading the file by right clicking on the link above and chosing the “Save Target As” option. You can then save the video of my cute kid anywhere you want on your computer. You can then watch it again and again as many times as you want without having to download it again.
The whole video is available (with more footage and a bigger viewable display) for family or friends who want it. I’ll put it on a CD and mail it to you if you send me an email request or comment to this post asking for it. The video will play on any computer that has Quicktime or Microsoft Windows Media Player.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
The movie eventually loaded in Internet Explore, but if I saved it off to the hard drive… double clicking on it launched Windows Media and it [;ayed fine.
I want to do some looking around on displaying MPEGs via web browser controls…

What a CUTIE. It doesn`t seem she could be old enough to talk so plainly. My how time flies, but its been almost 2 yrs since her first keg party. It sounded alittle like Dad was way more ready for bed than she was!!
