Ok guys and gals. The first round of videos is online. This first go round is basically just a tester to see how it works, and find out how everyone is doing as far as being able to see the videos. I'm using Windows Media format for right now, but other formats are a definite possibility if people are having issues with Windows Media Player

Here's the link:

Let me know if anything is broken or doesn't work for you.
The other thing I'd like to ask as a courtesy is that if you can restrain yourself, just watch the videos a time or two, not 15 times. I know it's hard and all but I get billed based on bandwith so 100 guys watching 15 times is going to add up. I'm working on a better solution right now so that we can all watch to our hearts content in the near future :)

Nice videos Rob, I have a cable modem and the high res. worked fine for me. Keep up the good work.

Looks good man... everything worked for me...if ya want you can put the video of the live trout of mine up there... if you got your own just not up thats cool....

I'd just tell everyone to right click and save as so it goes to their harddrive and they can watch it over and over and it saves you bandwith...

Sweet. Works great for me.

Hey Carrot Top, How did you get the live trout video on your website?

took the video with my digital camera...compressed it... then just uploaded it

I compressed a video, but I still can't get it uploaded to where I want to. What did you use to upload it? I want to upload it to my site. I think I got it uploaded, but not where I want it.

I just used an FTP program... it might be different if you are using a free webservice... some dont allow video...

True, that is what I thought at first, but I can't seem to find where it says that. Thanks for the help.

Rob those videos look great. just a suggestion, when you show the baits in a pool make sure the water is deep enough to see the full actions. I am not refering to these videos. I am refering to the ones shot in that shallow pool. I think the sinking and diving baits wearn't properly represented.

My Media Player is timing out on the hi-res files (on my 56k modem), but the low-res'ers come through great -- especially cool with audio, too!

thx for the feedback Jeff. I'm hoping to make this stuff accessible even on 56k modem, so it's good to hear it's working for you on the low res.

Props to Rob on the tremendous info and dialogue on this site.

I was able to watch the videos, except for the ones of Brian. Are they in a different format? The others loaded in Media player and his loaded in Real One player.

Way cool regardless

Lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what have-yous

Nice. Worked great on my school computer.

Yes, Brian's are in .avi format. I haven't been able to convert them to .wmv for some reason. His were shot on a regular digital camera, while the other ones I shot on my video camera. Most everything else that is going to go on will have a high and low res version and will be in .wmv format.

Erik - I have some similar video of the live trout hardbait, but thankyou for the offer to put your clip on the site.

Thanks for the samples! It's too late to go back now,video is the Bomb!! ;-)

I think the hamster in my computer just died trying to play the high res. video. :)

Looked great from work though.

Lookin good, can't wait to see whats next.

Rob,
I am new to the site here, but without a doubt it is thee most informative page dedicated to big bass out there. You have a great site here and everyone is very insightful and forthcoming with help answering our questions, keep up the great work, thx.

thanks, I appreciate the positive feedback. It's a lot of work, but it has a lot of rewards too. As I have more time, more and more video will find it's way online.
