Finally was able to install the player. My mouse has a double click problem. I need a new one. I was able to decline most of the add on's but some I will have to manually.
That bird could have taken you off the bike. The Wallaby acted like the Jack rabbits out here. Hate to think what would happen if it was a Roo.
How do you upload your Vid's?

Steve glad you were able to get VLC going - dont remember all the rubbish when i installed it.
Not real sure what would have happened if the Wedgie grabbed hold of me - dont think the leather jacket would have lasted long mate.Had a Hare run out in front as well but cam wasnt on - they would be very similar to a Jack Rabbit ?
Quite a bit bigger than the wallaby. If it was a Roo and was lucky enough to see it i would near stop - bugger that hitting one of them - know quite a few who have and the usually the Roo wins .
Just Add File - find your file and select- Insert - then Submit(takes a minute or 2) but make sure you dont convert them to MP4 - wont accept them and there is a size limit as well.I try and keep them under 10 meg,
Mick :)

That's a funny looking racoon. Never seen one run around on his hind legs like that. Must have been rabid.

My 8 yr old son just watched the video and said its a giant rat!

Racoon.....Ha!.....I was way off.....it is a rat!

It's nether. I was confronted by a possum. Gnarly brown teeth, mean as hell. Didn't have my 44 or I would have shot the bastard.

74 - think we got a big problem if racoons are running around here :) It is the smallest wallaby - i think.Paddy Melon.
Steve - Fecking possums i hate those things - they are protected here - everything is bloody protected here - cant even kill a filthy crow or fruit bat.Possums are just big rats.Your possums look very different to the ones here but both are vicious bastards

Kangaroo rats are protected here. I love it when my cat gets one. I had a cat bring home a Jack Rabbit one day. All that was left was the head, guts and the feet. He was showing off to the other cats. He's gone now, Cyotes. :(

I wish i had been running the action cam this particular day...Last Summer, I was out in the country ripping around & passed another bike coming the other way...Flipped him the usual "biker salute"... in the scant (2 or 3) seconds that I took my eyes off the road in front of me, a big-ass Whitetail deer ran in front of me, & behind him...cleared us both by mere seconds...Buck was in the other lane, heading for the woods lining the road as I passed him...the more I thought about it, the more it freaked me out! Mick, you really have this video stuff down, don't you, bud? Titles, and everything! (Shoulda warned us about the volume though, just about straightened my hair out with my headphones, LOL!)

I guess the shortest settings is best. Problem is, there's lag between frames. A lot can happen in 3 seconds.

GOA sorry about trying to deafen you - didnt realise - thanks - will turn it down more - seemed ok on my setup - dont use headphones.
Lucky man - would that deer have been about 3/4 horse size mate ?
Steve do Kangaroo rats just look like rats or do they have longish legs ?
i would imagine a coyote would be like the mungrel Dingoes here - cunning bloody animals.

Kangaroo rats hop and have fuzz on the tip of it's tail. Me like all builders hate them. If one is found, the project is shut down. To get a permit to build a house you have to pay into the rat fund. Upwards of $5000. They're vermin! We also have the Fringe Towed Lizard. They don't live in Sky Valley. Only in sand where the expensive homes are but we pay anyway. When I'd go to one of them, the owner would ask me how to keep the silt out of the house? You can't, the wind and they have more than us, keeps working on the openings and it will get in. They move from the city and wonder why there's dirt. GOOD FOR THEM.

They protect some bloody some destructive animals - silly people.
We got those city slickers here who move to the country and a lot of the time want things changed to suit them.
They jump on the table and scream if a mouse runs past - have seen it.
One that really gets me - say a piggery or similar livestock business has happily been there 50 years - they cant have that and it must be shut down or moved and you know how it is , dollars usually win .
