I'm sorry to say this, but I am going to be forced to do the SD Satellite LF. If I did the HD one, it would take forever to get the video to convert to 16:9 and the max file size is 35 MB. :pinch:

However, if I produce a 4:3 clip, it will take 2 minutes to process and come out as 9 MB, so I've decided to do the SD Satellite LF. :itsok:

If we have a thread on this, couldn't we just upload the video to YT, post the link on the message, then it will have the YT player? That way, you could upload the HD LF since I don't think anyone else is going to.
upload to imagehost.org... they have a 100mb file size limit, plus easily downloadable.

My apologies. I thought it would be 35MB, but it turns out that it can be as low as 9-12 MB if I use Movie Maker Version 2.6. :yes:

As I said max attachment size can certainly handle it. I really prefer people attach the file itself. It preserves quality and makes it easier on me :)

I don't think I may be able to participate as my VCR is starting to acting up. I will try to fix it as soon as possible.

You can do that too for DirecTV Zip Code, and Verizon FiOS headends. Make sure you set up at 7:57pm on your TiVO, DVR, or VCR.
I'm a weatherman. I love my weather. I would love to go any trips if the weather is nicer.

It's still unnecessary and rude.

Just one question, is it alright to record the DirecTV LF?

No it's not alright, it's illegal..

J/K, Sure why not. Are you talking about the DirecTV that does the LF by zip code then absolutely!

Today is the big day, so I wish everyone good luck on your recordings!  I hope that I'll be able to participate next year when I actually have a working camera.

I forgot set my timer to record the Mount Holly forecast, so it would have to be just the Lower Bucks IntelliStar. Would you be interested in a recording of my Bensalem Weatherscan too?

We used to do these more often, like one every 3-5 months, but this is the first LAT48's we've had since February of last year. I think the problem was back then was that not as much people were on this forum, and as such not a lot of people recorded their LF's. Now that we have a lot more members we could be able to do this more often.
