We're probably 30 minutes out on the video.

Converting them from Quicktime to MPEG takes a while.

It should be worth the wait though. seeya

I figured out that I have Adobe Go-Live on my computer and once I figure it out I'll be able to do some serious damage with video files.

It does however take for ever to convert files.  It's a good thing that I have a TV down here.

I hope that everyone has Quicktime because it's not converting.  I'll work on it some more tomorrow.

The vid looks great too! Just a little tip if you save it and then open it you can make it full screen. ddr

I've added a Windows Media Player file in addition to the Quicktime video and I'll leave them both up for a while.

The conversion sucked some of the quality out of the WMP version.  We'll work on getting some higher quaility video in the coming weeks.

Well I am not sure what I am doing while I watch it except I have been told I am very quiet, my head follows the course, so when there is a loop, my head makes a circle motion and my wife says I have a smile that does not leave. :help:

Guilty!  I did the same thing as I watched it run through its paces live today.  It was so pretty... too bad the weather was so poopy.

Some more photos.  They also put in the corrals for the queue line.  Those who were there for opening weekend for MAMBA will all know how thankful I am to see those completed. :)

That video is great man! You ought to put that on a podcast for folks to download and watch. 

Let me know if you would like to put that into a podcast.

Since it's already in Quicktime I guess that it would be rather easy to put it into a podcast. 

We're also going to work on getting higher quality video in the coming week.

Indeed it would be. The Ipod format that most Video Podcasts use are 320x240 which I think this one is already in if I am not mistaken?

I am over at Podologist.com. It's a Podcast hosting service for all different kinds of podcasts. I would be more than happy to put the video out there as is with no ads or anything else of that nature

I tired exporting it from Adobe G0-Live in a podcast format but it was going to take for ever.

If you can post it with little or no trouble then please feel free.  We would appreciate it if you metioned Coaster Community when you do.


Thanks and welcome aboard.

Excellent. You will definately get the credit for the video as the credit is well deserved.

I will be going to work shortly and will be back during the late overnight . I'll work on it then and let you know when it's up and running.


Thanks for the opportunity and more than glad to be aboard!

Okay folks I have the video loaded up to the server. Not on the Podcast yet because the Posting Side Of The Podologist Podcast looks to be down for maintence. However you can still view the video that will go out here:

http://www.audio.nhcwx.com/podologist/video/Patriot%20Testing.m4v

This video is in IPOD format and looks great!!

Okay the video is now available via Podcast Feed as well. You can see it here:

This should be a great ride! Wonder if we should contact Worlds Of Fun To get some B-roll footage of this thing when it opens?
