Coro ride vids

[Big Dave]

Outstanding vids Dave. Particularly enjoyed the ride up the Coro Hill as our bach is only 4 km from the start of the hilll and that could have been me on a Sunday morning. Drop in for a bit of refreshment any time you're up there.

taa.
dunno - never done youtube.
How does it make better vid quality?
That is determined when I make the file innit?

Well, i'm assuming whats on your website is somewhat compressed from the original file, the way I understand it, you basically upload the original file to youtube, they compress it into their format and then host it free of charge, I just meant it'll be bigger than the ones you've got on your website at the moment.

!! large files - needs quicktime.

Great stuff Dave, thoroughly enjoyed watching those and following rider (yourself?) through some familiar roads. They certainly give a good impression of what the Loop is like, but there's nothin' like the real thing!

When I first arrived in this country I couldn't understand why roads could not be built straight and true and why a "2 hr" trip up north took 5 1/2 hrs with plenty of green faces in the back seat.

Then I bought a bike - and suddenly it all makes sense. The old road builders of yore were bikers! Life's a journey, enjoy the ride

Cool - I sussed how to embed them and make the pages work on my site:

http://www.davidcohen.co.nz/vids/first.html

but no sound.

To beat the copyright snags I made/played some sound tracks (garage band is fabulous!) which work on the you tube page:
Reduce the size to beat the camera shake.
