Busco Beach in NC - October 8-10 2010

Mike,

Upload on both. I'd like to see the original "Director's cut" myself.

I have spent about 25-30 hours this week after work editing the footage I took at Busco and timing it with music. I think it is some of the best footage I have gotten there. Since youtube now allows 15 minutes of video, I was going to use as much of that as I could, so the file was larger than normal (over 1.5 GB). It took 6 hours to export to the final video file, and all night last night (from 9pm until 5am this morning) to upload to youtube.

I was pumped up when it finally went live this morning. I hit play on youtube and the audio had been disabled. I typically search for any song that I want to use on youtube before putting the work into the video to avoid this, but I forgot to do that this time. This time I had four songs in the video, and the worst part is that youtube won't tell you which one is owned by a company that doesn't allow it to be played online through their agreements.

So after several more hours this morning searching for which song was not allowed, I think I finally have songs that are allowed to be used. Now I have re-edited the video and have it exporting again. Hopefully by late tonight or tomorrow I will have something to show from youtube.

Uggghh, what a pain. Just venting my frustration. I know most of you that edit / upload videos have experienced the same thing. While you can get around that by using other services, having the video on the most popular site for maximum exposure is hard to beat.

I feel you pain Mike! This is a very painstaking endeavor and then to have it blown out of the water. I have just given up using utube much to my dismay and diverted to vimeo which is a avenue of least resistance. Thanks Mike and i can not wait for the video to come out. Thanks for all the time and effort.

Great Job Lewis. I did notice that just about everyone is smiling in each picture.

Did anybody notice JP driving an Argo???

Yes Lance you are right. Nothing but smiles from everyone, this is a fantastic group of people. Jp seemed to have a great time also,.. even driving the Argo.....i know he is a Attex guy. Was this his first time to drive a Argo?

Lance You did a first also. The first time i have ever seem a bead knocked off and reset it self. I can safely say, this i have never seen before. Way to go Lance!

Awesome video Lewis
Who's Max IV rolled? Hope everyone was OK, the roll-bar
looks more that a little tweaked.

John that was jshade's machine. He did not roll he hit a tree! He was not injured but his helmet did take out the windshield. I was not there when he bent the roll cage, i just observed the aftermath.

jshade was fun to ride with, as we were waiting for Lance to be pulled from the mud hole jshade hit another tree but not quiet as hard. This will go into the books as one of the best rides we have had and the night ride was equally great.
