Ok I'm trying to use PutFile for the first time. I've registered, got my account and gone to the Upload Video page. HOWEVER, there seems to be no way of getting it to upload the file?? I browse to the file put some info in - but where is the 'Upload' button??? All there is, is a grey 'Maintenance' button. Help!!

Screen shot as below:

oops where did that go ;-)

 

Now sorted. Think it was problem 'at other end'!!

 

Can you tell me how you save a screen shot like that as an image ??

 

Just hit the Print Screen key on ya keyboard and it will store the image on the clipboard, then you can just paste it into whatever photo software you want or you can just use Windows paint program

Edited to add: If you hold down the Alt key when you hit the Print Screen key it will only copy the active window as opposed to everything, i.e. just the Internet Explorer window. Which is handy if you don't want people to know that you're an illegal file sharer using eMule for instance

 

My thoughts exactly

 

I really don't know what you're talking about Barry

 

Link?

Can't bloody view it at work though

 

Bugger. My machine just site there looking at at. I have WM 10 defaulted to all files and ... nothing...

I hate computers...

 

I may be wrong but you may have to have QuickTime downloaded for PutFile to work? If still no joy I'll burn an 'extended edition' (as this was crammed down to under 10 mins) and any footage from this Sunday's run (still on Al?) onto a DVD for those who can sit through endless views of my windscreen wipers going backwards and forwards, huge sheer drops, worried ramblers and even more worried sheep.

 

Si.. I've tried, WMP, Quicktime, DivX, Heinz tins and a piece of damp string (ie a MAC) and several combinations of Zonealrm on, off and on fire... I've kicked the machine, screen and dogs and still nothing...

I've let it beat me for now as I'm currently ripping my CD collection and playing around with Average, Variable & Continuous bit streams from 192 to 320 Kb/s into various rippers, codecs and compressors in all sorts of formats from MP3 to Apple Losslsess... That's giving me headaches enough

Your kind offer od a DVD will be great, especially as I'll be giving it to Sticky for the next year book

 

Works fine here Click on link, video plays And you're supposed to be some sort of IT guru I run a five year old rusty bean tin with frayed mouldy rotten string and have no problems whatsoever

 

Si. You could try Google video... http://video.google.com/

Definately better..

 

In fact, I've just joined in 20 seconds and uploaded Gigi Galli's epic hairpin corner video...

Man that was easy.. The upload.. not the corner..

Have to wait a bit to get it verified... But looks easy enough

 

Ok Al, it's currently been verified by Google, hopefully they've not got Dave on the verification board otherwise it will be rejected when he sees people utilising their brake lights

Hope you enjoy it when it's eventually there managed to read a chapter of Dickens waiting for it to upload

 

Well it stopped a few times and then restarted, buffering, downloading, buffering, downloading etc, etc but once it had got through the whole thing once it played flawlessly after that

Good work Si

ps. I agree about Google video though

pps. something tells me you had a bit of a funny tummy moment at one point Si

ppps. wotz this about Sunday

 

See Al's "2006 Proposition thread" for seeing a wee bit of daylight in the cars...an exert of which is

Date: Sunday 15th to try out the idea..
Location: To be suggested
Time: To be worked out dependent upon the location. Probably 11 ish..

Re my funny tummy - there's was a bit of a jump / dip where I did yelp a little, I assume you're referring to that rather than anymore sinister noises which I think were confined to Dave's car after the eating of 'missed the best before date' sausages.

Still don't think the video has been verified by Google yet will post when it has.

 

...forget that I've just read the Autosport thread, which is this weekend too.

 

Oh Christ. Give the WYIOC two things to think about on the same day and they collectively grind to a shuddering halt.

 

A word of warning regarding a run out on sunday. Apparantly N.Yorks eciloP are on one of their speeding offensives at the mo' so either be careful or head elsewhere

 

Si that is excellent mate

I know its not just as easy as posting a link, the editing and so on,, nice one mate truly

really looks like you got air in a few places, and did not here you scream once!

once again nice one Si

 

Top job on the scamera effects and well done for finally getting there, did u get any of the flames that were being fired?

 

There's was a bit of a yelp (01:45), managed to resist screaming. Not really any air but a few dips that were a bit 'rollercoasty'. I've only ever had air once - quite unintentionally at the beginning of the Honister pass in the Lakes, tried to make my girlfriends "tummy jump" on a small bump doing about 35mph. Crikey I was worried when the car landed

 

Unfortunately no flames, although Mick did have a few nice bits of orange circulating around when I was behind him (although not quite up to Chris' standards obviously ). Tape had run out by then - Note to oneself, next time use that new fangled technology called "Long Play"

 

We must do Ribble again then. Stick to my @r$e (no, don't even start lads ) and about 2 miles outside Hawes you can see where I left my undertray, mudflaps, sills and some bits off the AST's Anything over about 60 should get you flying. I think I was nearer 100

 

On the plus side it saves on tyre ware and petrol being airborne so it probably balances out. I think.

 

Not sure how the landing affects the tyre wall, but DO NOT lift off if airborn as the drive shafts must be kept rotating to avoid them snapping or the diffs exploding Although they'll spin up faster, they will resume on landing. It's worth wasting the petrol

Could we dip the cultch in and have it in no gear?
