A FEW SHORT CLIPS FROM OUR TRIP IN 1977 *

Post by steamtrainfan »

Please note that, due to the bad quality of the video, once you have opened YouTube to click on the small cog wheel in the bottom right hand side of the icon bar in order to improve the quality of the video. Up it to 360.



I hope this works.

We were very close but he was up on an embankment so we felt quite safe.

Join the club, I was being told to reverse but I kept saying that he was high up on an embankment and all was ok.

Thanks Fluts.

Thanks Dewi, it does rather make the ellie look larger than he actually was.

I just love the vintage style! \O How much time do you need to digitalize a video like that, STF?


God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Hi Mel,

Thanks very much for your comments.

First I transfer the video tape to a DVD using a video player to a DVD recorder. In this case my 47 minute video of our trip.

I then upload the DVD onto my laptop hard drive onto Windows Live Moviemaker.

I then edit the section I need from i.e. this 37 second clip from the whole movie again using Windows Live Maker.

The longest bit is to upload this 37 second clip onto YouTube which takes about 20 minutes to upload. The longer the clip the longer it takes to upload to YouTube.

I hope the above makes sense.

Please remember to up the quality of the video by left clicking on the little cog wheel in the bottom icon bar up to 360 or even HD.

If it takes a while to improve you can slide the scroll button back to the start.

Black Backed Jackal.




Please let me know if you are able to improve the video quality by doing the above.

If you are then I am happy, if not then we must try something else.
