Here is the footage that I got. It is still processing but should be complete shortly. This is from Friday afternoon and Saturday morning / early afternoon rides. It doesn't show everyone that was there but it does show quite a few different 6x6 World members.

Awesome video Mike and great choice of music and video angles as well. Two big thumbs up. With amphib video's posted on Youtube like this , I can see why so many new members continue to join 6x6world.

Awesome video Mike....with a great ending.

What camera are you shooting with and what was the song after Zep?

What camera are you shooting with and what was the song after Zep?

The second song was "Float On" by Modest Mouse.

The camera I am using is a point and shoot still camera. It is a Panasonic Lumix. It was one of the first HD waterproof cameras to come out a couple of years ago that had a zoom on it but it really was made for taking still shots and not video. I don't like several things about it, mainly the zoom. It is very loud and it distorts the sound every time I use it. It is also difficult to control the zoom because it continues zooming for a fraction of a second after you release your finger. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody for shooting video. The only reason I continue to use it is that I can slip it into my front pocket and get to it very quickly. I've tried a couple of other cameras and while I like the features of them much better, I have to carry them in a bag and I have almost ruined them with the dirt and mud.

Thanks for the comments.

Help! I want to know how you guys get by the U-Tube music police. Wildtexasranger had some great videos, too, set to music & they seemed to have been O.K. We get so tired of making a video & getting the audio disabled on U-Tube, because of the music, so we gave up & usually post our videos set to music on Vimeo for that reason. We know the artist(s) has something to do with it, but we actually had U-Tube contact us when we used the William Tell Overture in Rescuing the Model Citizen & for music that was coming over our radio in our 400 Miler Sandrail trip.

At the time you were having trouble with music on your videos, Youtube was fighting with the big music companies. There were only one or two that allowed their artist's music to be used. Now Youtube has come to an agreement with most of the larger music companies. Youtube has software that screens every video to see if it matches registered / copyrighted songs and if it does then, based on the music company's preferences, they will either ban the video or allow ads to be shown on the video. If the music company allows ads to be shown, they and Youtube split the profit based on their contract.

Most of the industry now allows their songs to remain on videos and just takes a portion of the profit from the advertisements. Some will only ban the videos in certain countries based on the song too but usually that's not in the US. For instance, the video I just posted is banned from Russia for some reason because of copyright infringement.

That's good to know. Seems like we had the audio disabled on one of our videos from the Sand Dunes. That was in February of this year. Can't remember the artist we were trying to use. Maybe we'll give them another shot. Thanks!

When I go to add a song to a video, I still will search youtube for that song and make sure other people have used it. Most songs have videos on youtube that show the lyrics. If you see that, you should be able to use the song. I haven't had one rejected in a while but it's better to save a little time up front then to put a bunch of time in and get the video rejected.
