Trying out my new Video/Digital Camera

fastdrvr23 · July 30, 2004

ALright, I finally got me another digital camera, and this one can make short AVI movies... It's a Canon Powershot A75.

Anyways, this is a short video I made of my truck on take off, with the tow-haul mode on. I mention this, because I had Wester's change the settings for the tow-haul in mine to be similar to a shift kit, and have nice firm/quick shifts while still holding it in gear until a higher rpm. This was mainly to see how much power I can put to the ground in 1st with my measly 3.42 rear gear though... I start off light, then go to about 3/4 throttle about 3000 Rpm's or so... It breaks the right rear loose and starts to spin/hop for a few seconds. Sort of strange sounding, but I thought it was pretty good for such a light rear end gear. I'll probably make some more videos this weekend, if I can figure out a way to mount the camera where I don't have to hold it. It makes me drunk trying to watch them now. lol

If I get to keep the truck, I'll probably go ahead and go with that 4.10 rear gear swap with an eaton unit, I have a feeling that would be a whole lot of fun.

Anyways, here it is, let me know what you guys think.

EDIT: Changed it to a directory, the file name is MVI_0287.AVI

Ehh, maybe it doesn't like trying to stream it. Here at work I just download it watch it from the file on the PC. Yeah, my firewall here is barking too when I try and watch it by streaming...

Alright, sorry about that. I don't know if it's that type of file or what, but my firewall catches every kind of .avi I can find if I stream it.

Try going to the directory, and saving it (Right Click, then "Save as" (for some who might not know)), then viewing it.
