Have a Great Weekend!
Go get 'em!
Wahoo! I got it right and get a name check on Podcacher! Cool!
The video showed up in my podcatcher (Juice) just fine, the libsyn one played fine, and so did the direct link to the one on your site (Hope you don’t regret hosting it on your own site.) Nice drum playing! 🙂 The one in Juice, was waiting for me this morning, so I don’t know how long it took. The site versions seemed to take a long time to download. The sound was really good, on the videos, the lighting was a bit dark, but everything was clearly visible. Arrrrrgh at having to wait for finding the european cache. 🙂
Keep up the great work!

Both videos worked for me.
I usually have problems loading .AVI format “movies.” But I had no problems with these.
I really like hearing about the possibilities of using geocaching in the classroom, I teach high school science usually chemistry but who knows year to year due to enrollment. I’m considering starting a new group/club at the school for anyone interested in learning more. Keep up the great job!

PS. By the way – you’ve got some real rhythm.
Unfortunately, if you use Windows Media Player 10 as the default player, the libsyn hosted version just posts “RIFF”JÕAVI LISTFhdrlavih8j’T@ðLISTtstrlstrh8vidsmjpgj@B’T’@ðstrf((@ðMJPG„LIST\strlstrh8auds+a+’strf++IDITSun Jul 09 07:42:02 2006 LISTINFOISFT CanonMVI01JUNK~” in a new browser window. The podcacher hosted version seems to crash Windows Media player if you have the “ffdshow” codec installed. Without ffdshow installed in Windows Media Player 10, the podcacher hosted version plays fine.
Both seem to play ok when opened in Quicktime, but the libsyn version had to buffer several times while the Podcacher version went right on through. Both seem to play ok when opened with Real Alternative (I hate RealPlayer). However, I would recommend reconsidering using Motion-JPG as a video format. Some of the 3rd party codecs for WMP10 like ffdshow don’t handle this format well. ffdshow is a very popular divx and directshow codec alternative, but it balks at MJPG files. Maybe just a standard MPG file that will play in anything?
Ditto what GeekAndKids said – showed up in Juice and played fine. Direct links took about 60 seconds, but both played fine. I greatly prefer having them downloaded in the background as part of the feed.
I was able to see the video from both links, but the “video test 2” link loaded much faster for me.
The story of people trampling the gardin in Wisconsin is a bit disheartening. Unfortunately some people don’t think much about where they put their feet….
Keep up the good work!
No problems with either download but the second one was a bit quicker.
Howdy,
Both worked for me, the first one loaded a lot faster.
Cheers,

Hi guys,
I was able to view both, but the second loaded just a touch faster. Bother were kinda slow though, relatively speaking. Sonny, impressive drum playing!
