First off. Apologies to all for having to deal with my video issues. I've spend a better part of this afternoon and this evening trying to figure out a way for me to get my .MTS formatted video off my HD video camera to work without any issues on Youtube. Did some research and found that a bunch of folks have the same issue. Not sure if Youtube has caught up with this format yet. Sooooooo with that said I went out and bought a converter program that will convert .MTS to anything imaginable. Now I have that problem as to pick which one works the best. I've tried a whole bunch of different formats and to tell you the truth, I'm beat. This one here is an HD WMV file. Not perfect but it will do. The video now looks pretty good (not as good as the MTS though) but you'll hear some audio "ghosts" or light clicking in the background. I'll try to work on that for my next song but for this one I'm done. The only thing that didn't change was the talent level of the guy playing here. :blink:
Hope this is better than yesterday's version.

With an .mts file- am I right that it's a Sony cam you're using? The converter program that you bought seems to do a good job-- the quality looks great now. What converter did you use?
Would you mind making a post of your experience in the TG Techie group? There's a discussion called What are you recording with where people list the cameras they use and pros & cons about them.
Hopefully things go smoother now that you've got the bugs fixed.

I appreciate your technique, you seem to be very methodical and persistent. It does take a great deal of concentration (how many takes?) to make a video this long without too many glitches. This piece is interesting from beginning to end.

Thanks all.
haoli25 - Thank you for the support!!
Al - Thanks. The camera is a Canon Vixia HG20. I will certainly go to the other discussion board and post what I had to go through today so hopefully it will help someone else out. This was very frustrating. If I was going to blow away my afternoon I would have much rather been doing it with a guitar in my hands than a keyboard......
Bob - Thank you. I need to incorporate the PM more smoothly to the song. It sounds a bit seperate from the rest of the song. I'll get there though.
Cosmicmechanic - Persistant to a fault. I think it took 6 takes to get this one down to what you saw. I actually had a better version of it but competely lost concentration in the end and just stopped. I try and set a goal of 10 takes max and then I'll pick the best overall version. Well for that day anyway....
