Isnt that just the sweetest sound? (song thrush). The grebes are feeling spring in the air. The work at the nature reserve will be a wonderful tribute to what our creator intended. Thank Phil Lady♥Q = R. Leaving another bright star, be sure it's more than one *****

Who do you think you are Rob ?! Prince Charles ? Hahahahahahahaha...

I order a red carpet for you okay ?! You bring the champagne ? Hahahaha...

[plhbf]

Oh how lovely. The thrush and the grebes, I love grebes.

[RobElliottMusic]

Carpet, i knew there was something missing!! Will it stretch from the car park to the banks of the reserve....one cant afford to get ones shoes dirty you know.Hahahaha!

[Meissie35]

Since we are with a group that morning we cán carry you on a chair around the reserve...the only thing you have to do is wave ! Hahahahaha...

[RobElliottMusic]

I may need some entertainment during the morning banquet too, so i'll have my man-servant's call upon my jesters. They will perfom magic tricks and sing of their ardous travels, upon their lutes!

[Meissie35]

What an attitude ! Hahaha...

And what about the sofa at the breakfast table and the ladies in oriental clothing that feed you grapes and strawberries ?!

Hahahaha...

The new Enviromental Education Centre looks really good. Do you like it? All the birds looks very nice, like Jonny said, I don't think I can choose between them!:)

.P.S. I'm trying to upload a video into YouTube, it's my very first YouTuber video, but it' said five hours! Then Four! Then Three! And now Two! I can't believe it, the video is only eight minutes and thirty eight seconds long!:)

FROM YOUR FRIEND AT: 449944991

-Robert

[Zoltrix67]

@449944991 Did you compress it or are you uploading as Uncompressed avi ?

[449944991]

@Zoltrix67, well, I upload it straight from iMovie, and what happens is, when you upload this way, a box comes up, telling you how you want to upload it, you can upload in a podcast format, but because it's YouTube I choose to upload in HD, and it does say that's alright for YouTube, then I wait . . . and wait . . . and wait - I have uplaoded this way before with "The YouTuber TRAILER IN HD" but it wasn't this long, so that's how I upload, I'm sure the format is alright for YouTube!:)

-Robert

[floydstinkyboy]

hello robert. two hours is about what it would take on my cable connection, for a video that long. it typically does start slow then as you say speed up. but 2 hours sounds about right. and that is for an h264 mp4 file, roughly 275mb.

i think what phil was asking is - exactly what format is the file you are trying to upload? If it is the original dv file, the size is hugemongous and quality not as good as a well-compressed mp4. i drive a mac and can assist you with this, if you wish.

[ilovefilms94]
