Guitar contest entry from member waxies 3/10/10
Hi guys thanks for all the encouraging comments. The video was originally 3.6 gb so had to convert and compress and the mic is standard built in on laptop. Yeah its an ovation balladeer from late 70's I had the action lowered many years ago lost a bit of volume but tone is excellent. Also yes its my first posting, joined about 10 mins before i posted. NOTE my problems were all resolved by lunch time today (my time) so thanks to Neil and others. Great idea the competition good luck to all and again my thanks for all your comments..

Waxies,
That was stellar! Your voice totally reminds me of Jim C. And your playing was great too.
Well done. You gotta join Target even if you don't win. You'd love it!

Sorry-- the techie in me is curious..
3.6 gig for a webcam vid is HUGE and unmanageable. Are you recording in .avi format? Try not to if possible. Do you have any video setting options that you can change? Screen resolution? Formats? .wmv files are smaller and still gives good quality. .mpeg's and .mov's are good as well.

Really Really great waxies. Loved the lyrics, very clever. Great playing, you have certainly inspired me to work harder on this one. Looking forward to seeing more from you. You should introduce yourself in the appropriately named "Please Introduce Yourself" forum thread.

My camcorder records into a file type of .MOD and the files are huge! I had to import into AVS Video Converter and then change it to .avi with a lower frame rate and lower audio compression (about 128kbs) to get a file size of +/- 60MB or so. From there it was very manageable. Waxies might have to do the same......
BTW Waxies: Great fingerpicking and singing. I loved it!

Thanks to the other guys for their kind comments.
Now this video, Yeah recorded in .avi, take the point regarding file size to big, i was using software bundled with the laptop (tosh) pretty good stuff but obviously dosn't take kindly to being reduced ! have to look at alternative for any future stuff.
MJ "I've got a name", nice song you a croche fan ?
