Movie time!

I hope I don't crash anybody's connections with this...I am fumbling along. But I have a few video clips we've taken of the rats over the years, and I finally found a program to convert them to Quicktime, which means (I hope) converting them to a small enough size that we can use them on the web page.

If you click on the little arrow icon to the right of the little speaker icon, it plays the movie.

If you have volume up, you hear Misto's grunty breathing as well as Victor and I discussing lab blocks and Regal Rat ("hearts"). Here goes (let me know if this works or screws anybody up...):

Hi Abita,
I will have to wait until Monday when I am at work to view this as my PC at home (Dark Ages) doesn't have Quicktime. I took it off for some audio reason, but at work I have everything and am looking forward to seeing this.

It worked great! Very cool...what's the program that you use to convert?

Awww, didn't work for me I'm afraid.

Trish, I used Adobe Premiere. It's actually a huge program to make elaborate home movies, and I'll probably never learn to use it properly.

Sham, I'll try some other formats next week.

Thanks for the feedback!

It worked great in Firefox, but just barely in IE.
Which little ratty was the livewire there?

That was Misto! And I took this back in December, so it was very along in his illness. But he was still fiesty when it came to defending his food from Arthur.
I do miss those guys.
