Aw, man... not available to us Mac users. I get a message saying that file is not supported for Mac. Anyone know a way for us "different thinkers" to see this video?

Sort of...

Parallels is a fantastic virtual machine environment for OS X. Actually, I'm basing that on feedback from a friend using it...I have it as well, but am running the Linux version under Ubuntu. It's pretty cheap.

If you have access to a Windows install CD, you can load up a simple virtual machine inside OS X for those annoying apps/web sites that are still in the stone age...

Unlike Boot Camp, Parallels won't require a reboot - you can run it from within OS X. Also, it's very, very fast...much better performance than previous virtualization products. Close to native speed, assuming you have a relatively new Mac with sufficient RAM.

Of course, a better fix would be to have the video uploaded to an OS/browser neutral video sharing site - Google Video is one such location, it doesn't have a small size/length limit, and it's free (hint, hint, Jay... :xlol )

Hint received. I've uploaded to google video. Now do I post it here the same as I did Mydea Videa Host or some other way. Don't want to put in another link that goes no where for Mac brats. Da Nag, if you know, let me know. If I don't here from you by tomorrow I'll just post and see what happens. Can always edit later. Bill Giese showed me how to it the way I did using Mydea by private e-mail.

OK---Here goes my try for link to the video for Mac users. The clarity isn't as good as Mydea Host. Just under the lower right picture on Google video is a upside down pyramid shaped button for resizing video. Its the most clear in the smaller original hosted size.

Please let me know weather or not it works.

Video Lake Powell for Mac users

All I get is "Please try again later" on the video player screen. Does that mean the server's busy, or am I set up wrong?

Try one more time. I made a change. Its playing when I hit the link. Hoping it will now on a Mac too.

What a great video. Thanks very much for posting it. We have long wanted to go to Lake Powell and you made it even more attractive. I did notice though...that we did not get to see how you actually made it around the corner where you were both pushing off the walls :) :)
 
I laughed, I cried, I was on the edge of my seat! Two enthusiastic thumbs up from this reviewer! :thup :thup

I did nearly wet myself when you were clearing those canyon walls by mere inches. I had this horrible thought of: what happens if the lake level suddenly drops when you're in there??? :shock: Sky crane?

Thank you SO much for the extra effort to get that into a format that we highly-evolved Mac users could see. :D

We were there in September, for a whole day, when a family situation took us away in a hurry. We will go back there to explore it properly. Thanks!

Best wishes,
Jim B.
 
Jay and Jolee....

I cannot thank you enough for taking the touble to take and post those videos. Now we can see what kind of hijinx all you veteran C-Brats have been up to!!

'Hope to join you all in some of those adventures some day. John

If you had been able to see us going around that corner you would have surely seen damage being done to the boat. There really wasn't any, but would have been if I had continued to film and pole instead of finally putting the camera down and just concentrating on getting around the corner.

Our life's motto could have been----THATS ANOTHER FINE FIX WE GOT OURSELVLES IN----We are fortunate in being fairly adapt at getting out of these predicaments.

Due to yours and the many others enthusiastic appreciation of this video Iam going to start work on a video of our 2003 adventure which includes our lst time on the ocean with the Hunkydory out of Skagway, Alaska, 400 miles on the Yukon River and exploring Tagish, Atlin and Teslin Lakes which all border both the Yukon Territory and British Columbia.

Just got around to watching the whole thing. Great Video! Thanks so much. Reminded me of the African Queen with the boat towing part. We're so used to tides here, I felt as if the tide went out, you'd have had a C-Dory Monument on Lake P for ever.

Thanks

Jay and Jolee,

Penny and I enjoyed your video. Motion with sound does more to impart the feel of place than does still pictures. I was reminded of your mountain goat trips by several scenes when I heard the heavy breathing on the video. I also remember one of your still pictures taken from well up a steep incline. After seeing yours, I was tempted to throw mine away.

Great effort! Thanks.

Thanks for the complement, but I'll never be in your league or even close with photography. Have been playing around with a video camera since l984 so feel a little more comfortable with it.

I'm still getting the "please try again" message in Windows media player. Am I doing something wrong? I don't have problems with streaming video from other sites. Is there somewhere where one can just download the video file rather than streaming it?
Bartman
 
I just tried it and its working fine. Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me can help. That could be almost anyone. Took me quite awhile and that's with help to figure out how to do the streaming with a host and then to post so others could view. And then the mac verses other thing.

Have no idea how to do the file upload download so others can watch directly like George and Penny did with there slide show. It would make for a much better picture and viewing experience. Will check into it when I have time. Or if someone else can point me in the right direction.

Never owned or had anything to do with a computer before we bought the Hunkydory in 2003. Its been a up hill self taught learning experience ever since. We purchased a laptop then for navigation. Still only have and use a laptop.
