Was the protest today worth the effort?

Hi all,

Photo's are up from today - a bt haphazard due to the amount of portait shots - but I will look into that tomorrow (or so). As per last time, there is no charge for the photo's however, if last time was anything to go by - delivery times may be a little slow as my priority is (obviously) paying clients!

LOL .... I will

However I'm a Video Virgin and Youtube newby....just created an account tonight.

Dont really know what I'm doing but somethng is being uploaded........ it's just taking a very long time.

Hope it works out ok.

Well you Tube has got me Buggered!

I coverted my Videos into Mpeg2, Mpeg4, WMV and even FLV formats.... all have the same results.

The upload bar reaches 100% ok but the little rotating icon just keeps rotating.... I left it run over night thinking it was just slow but still no joy.

The file size is 180MB and the video is nearly 3 mins long. I believe this fits with the upload maximums of less than 2gigs and 10 minutes.

I have even viewed the You Tube upload tutorials and have had someone else recheck what I have done.

Have tried and tried and tried and now I'm about to give up.

Does anyone have any suggestions before I give up in disgust

Was about to ask about how the fatt max YouTube appearance was getting on, unfortunately my advice on uploading would be as useless as National's ACC Accounting Department, its been 4yrs since I last uploaded something to YouTube, I could suggest (if your not already) using something like Handbrake to see if you can get that file size down a bit before uploading in-case this is the problem somehow.

Thanks Scuba Steve.

I dumbed it down to AVI 26 MB and finally success.

Just wish I could have loaded it in HD as the video and sound is miles better.

Fatt Max ....... You Rock Mate.

[P38]

And another just like the other.

Good work Max.

[Stormer]

Max man, you should go on like that NZ Idol thing, you`d cane the lot of them!

Look...any protest is a good protest...better than sitting on your A.R.S.E. doing nothing.

[Ratti]

Hey FM, you're a hit with my sprogs! they sung along to the A.R.S.E chorus too...quick learners and they is good spellers too!

[Scuba_Steve]

Cheers P38 been hanging out for that song lol,
I saw a radio NZ person at the protest recording too maybee we all need to continuously request the song be played, its catchy enough it could turn into kinda a mini cult classic while having a side effect of continuously pushing the ACC protest

[buellbabe]

Yep the protest was definately worth it, sure there weren't as many people there as the first one but I for one will keep coming back to do it again.

We gotta keep making a noise.
