I think my dsl is sucking tonight

Horrible night. Made three new Tips vids. Then they would get to 97.5% rendered to avi from Gun Gworler and fail after 20min. I thought it was because disk space was low so deleted about 8Gb and still no joy. Downloaded a different capture software Cam Studio and it was choppy, could not see how to change frame capture rate. Records direct to avi. It did convert what it had to a SWF file very nicely though, but didn't ask me if i wanted it converted and no cancel, so had to wait 20 min for that too. Deleted all GunGrowler past vids and started over and got three good clips recorded and converted to avi. Tried to upload to YouTube and each one failed. Converted one to wmv and it failed also. I think my dsl is sucking tonight. Maybe if I reboot it will help.

Trying a new experiment with mounting speakers on the Trex500. I found some nice Huey wav files that I patched together over and over to make an awesome sound file. Now to get it on the mp3 player. I have a little tiny 9V amp and some $2 JBL computer speakers from thrift store. Took the bandsaw to the case and saved the whole front piece becaue it had a passive woofer in it. So the one speaker really booms with the amp that has bass boost too. Believe it or not the amp is from H20 audio and designed for underwater scuba diving. I have yet to listen to mp3s while scuba diving though. LOL. It does have boss underwater headphone like speakers to go with it though that attach to your mask. Plan is to mount the assembly under the Trex500 canopy.

I might spin the Whacky Hobby show off into two parts. A helicopter dedicated show and a DIY toy show.

Anyway, one more try to upload to YouTube and it is off to dreamland.
