Party Time!
So we had our company Holiday Party Tuesday night and had a blast! Open bar and music, along with gambling and a mechanical bull. Let’s just say a good time was had by all. Took lots of pictures between all of us (mine of course being on Flickr) as well as quite a bit of digital video. There were really only two of us that took the time to take any video (I took so much I filled up the 512MB CF card on the digicam), but boy are they a hoot. I spent an hour or so last night cutting the video as Jim’s camcorder writes it’s videos to DVD format and re-encoding them all in Xvid format (the camera I used doesn’t compress it’s videos). So I now present to the world the video from our party on 12/20/2005! To ensure you can watch the videos make sure you have one of the following: Xvid, VLC, Mediaplayer Classic.
Please note that the files will be have a description and then followed by links labeled S1 S2 or J1 J2 and so on. “S” stands for video I shot, while “J” stands for video that came from Jim’s video camera.

Please share these with friends and co-workers and the like. They are just too funny not to be shared out there with the world. Any comments and what not feel free to share them with me if you know the email address… if not you can send them here. Comments are always welcome on the blog as well. Now I have somewhere on the order of 1000GB of transfer for a month, so I’m really interested to see how much of that I can actually use up with all these videos, so get to it and send your friends over to download my videos!
In closing, many thanks to the makers of Xvid and Virtualdub for making such a great free codec and a great free encoding/editing program. Without either of which this wouldn’t have been possible. And to my great boss and co-workers for making these videos happen!
