I made this video today..  It's of hwy 176 between Tryon and Saluda, NC.  I wasn't going as fast as possible, just fast enough to give people a feel for the area.

how about some compression? bring it down to around 7-8 megs?

i decreased the size of the video to 18.9 megs.  It's half as big, and the quality is almost as good.  If it's still too big, get a cable modem...  That's as small as I can get it w/ the conversion software I have.

Wait until about 6:45 pm to try to d/l this.  It's not done uploading.

thanks for the replies. <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> &nbsp;I'll probably make a video again this Friday night late. &nbsp;It should be quicker, but I don't know how good the visibility will be. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>
