Ok, I can take a hint. I actually hired this guy (a cottontail rabbit) to cut my lawn but when I found out he did it one blade of grass at a time I fired him!:)

Sorry about the quality but I'm actually amazed that the camera could focus 'cause it was almost dark. Very large file btw so give it time to load (Quicktime).

Thanks Jo-Anne.  I think Eastern Cottontail Rabbits are cute too.

Howieh ... unfortunately, I'm unable to view your video.  It downloads for 8 minutes then my computer shuts down.  Bummer!   :?

Try this one (redtail in Ross Lord Park), less than half the size:

Nope, this one didn't work either.  Half the time but still didn't play.   :|
Title: Video problem
Post by: Howieh on December 20, 2010, 09:34:02 PM
That's very puzzling. I shot a video of my son playing hockey yesterday and he had no trouble picking it up from Dropbox. How are you trying to play it? It plays ok using either Quicktime or (Canon) Zoombrowser on my computer (Win XP).
