Re: Video for Terry
That is a superb compilation William David Noel!!
I had toyed with the idea of something similar myself using as the soundtrack repeated playing of the great 1983 solo by Terry on Minstrel Of The Dawn
that I had highlit on another thread.
But I have yet to master the art of using multiple images in such a video and can only do it a single image as I did on my youtube video of the unique If I Could Read My Mind
I would therefore request that either Bill or that other manipulative genius Jimmy Jones the Younger should concoct at least the bare bones outline of how they go about this and include details of of any relevant freeware they can recommend, then i
f I can succeed myself I could gladly adapt it to my own tutorial format and publish it naturally with suitable credit being paid to you.
Meanwhile I was most pleased to find that as I already had an account at vimeo I could after logging in access and use a very neat facility to download the mp4 video
Please note Mr Meason
that I wish to thank your son for pointing me in the direction of the wonderful free file storage website he used for those great Wolfgang's Vault 1968 Filmore West streaming concert mp3s see this thread from 2007:-

that
http://fileden.com/
fileden site is something else
A huge free space of 1 Gigabyte; a most generous 100MB maximum file upload size hotlinking allowed all screenshots in this posting are on Fileden) and as the evidence of those mp3s proves long tern storage
This is the download facility (not visible until one has logged in)
which on my high speed connection took about 15 minutes for the 70.2MB file. What I hear you mutter you are still on a dial up?? my deepest sympathies!!
Here is the downloading starting:-
and at 28%
The hardest part of this procedure was in fact finding out where the downloaded file had been stored as unlike the usual file download procedure there was no "save as/save in" dialog box only the information as shown in the screenshots that it was going to a "temporary folder"
but I was not to be beaten by that little glitch because long experience locating youtube videos ready for replay enabled me to use this Internet Explorer procedure:-
I.E. window>tools menu>internet options>browsing history>settings>view files> look for a suitably large file and copy it to a permanent folder (in my case a new desktop folder I had already opened and perspicaciously named "Terry")
which I then suitably renamed
I am now able to play the video on demand on my Wintel computer or if I wish burn to a DVD as I have the mp4 video codec for Windows Media Player installed and I can make screenshots from the video including this fantabulous study of the band admiring Terry's fingerwork (that I do not recall seeing before) that Bill had included in his superb video showing Terry's hairstyle somewhere between his original long flowing mane and his latter day folically challenged appearance:
ditto the fine drumming type person perched at the back
