Problem fixed

The bad juju with episode three seems to have been resolved. Oh the fiery hoops I had to jump through.

There was some sort of weird corruption on the video it seems (which I think goes back to a bad tape?) I wound up exporting the edited file back to tape then recapturing to drive; re-encoding and uploading. I tightened up the data rate a bit also, so the file is a bit smaller.

Long story short, the "fast start" now works.

Episode 3 was awesome. The research lab I work in loves it.

Hi. I wish someone did this in Sweden so I could be in that show. Liked your's a lot and became a subscriber instantly.
Rumour has it that you're born in Stockholm, Sweden, is that true?

j. holmfeldt,

Jo, det är sant. Jag är född i Stockholm. Jag bodde i Stockholm från '96 till '99 (jobbade som en grafisk formgivare).

Kanske resa jag och fru till Sverige för ett specialt avsnitt av DriveTime?

Tack för dina kommentarer!

If you havent found a better way to secure your camera, try the Gorillapod.

Youll have to check if your camera is compatible with it but its a great way to secure a camera as its very flexible.
