I'm trying to upload the close to 700 clips from the weekend in an organized fashion, new Vimeo Album, etc. Tried to upload 100 clips last night but the Uploader keeps stalling out after uploading just a few clips. Very frustrating ... working on it. :evil:

Still having problems with Vimeo ...

I uploaded 50 clips to Blip.TV ... I can only upload 50 per day. :(

Some are still "converting"

Note ... I overexposed some clips so that it's easier to see what the tires are doing.

Note, I'm not editing or checking all of these clips, so some might be "mistakes," ie. turned the camera on and off, focus might be bad, etc.

If you don't have the yearly package, and you derive some practical use from your clips please consider making a small donation via Paypal. Shooting and uploading these files is hugely time consuming, besides being a distraction from my own driving. We're not doing the National events so this is my "aid" to your efforts. Good Luck and Thanks!

I'm sure I shot your bright yellow MR ... it's at the end of the long Saturday > Sunday que, but I think for R&T we can look for it. Did you run Saturday also?

I'm finally working with Vimeo's IT/Developer person ... and testing some Beta Beta Uploadiing Software ... but it's still going in Fits & Starts !?

A few more uploaded on Blip.TV

http://blip.tv/?search=Casoc%20Test%20% ... rch;page=1

At least I've learned to try not to start the camera until the car is in the shot so that one can ID the clip! Also long loose shots are boring. If I ever do this again I think it's better to do short TIGHT shots of the car only in the most dynamic situations. Agreed ?

15 emails between the Vimeo IT guy and myself this morning, countless screen snapshots of Adobe Air Inspector, two Beta Beta's and now the IT guy is going to "slap the "backend" developer :-)" and they're going to (finally) get something fixed ?!?! :?

It's been a real productive morning ... :lol:
