Dad's Christmas present
 

Hey all,

My dad is one of those guys who buys everything he wants when he wants it, so I decided to make him a video for Christmas. We ran in the Super Pro class of the Texas Muscle Car Club Challenge this year, and we won the class. It was our first time competetively racing, so we were really excited.

I don't want to host this on streetfire or anything because I'm afraid he'd run across it, so I've hosted it on my colocated server. EDIT: It was a really huge file, so I've re-encoded it to be significantly smaller (150MB). I'll leave the old link just in case you want to download the 1GB version.

EDIT AGAIN: Due to issues with viewing the AVIs, I went ahead and posted it on Streetfire.


Streetfire link: http://videos.streetfire.net/video/T...f-981e013e162d
Small file: http://www.ash-can.com/hosted/video/...tmas_small.avi
Large file: http://www.ash-can.com/hosted/video/...tmas_large.avi

Downloading at about 350-380kbps for me. But I'm gonna download it and watch it :)

48 minutes remaining. lol.

I'm getting 5MB at work even though there are a bunch of people downloading. Anyone else having a slow download?

Took me a lil while to get it d/l. It turned out pretty good. Your old man should like that..

That was sweet!! Good job I think he'll love it! Only thing I'd change is the length! Wish there was more to watch. :)

Thanks for the comments, guys. I wish we had more footage to use, but my wife (the videographer) only made it to two races this year, so there wasn't much to show. :(

I'm working on re-encoding it to be a bit smaller. The guy I pay for colocating my server is already bitching about my bandwidth usage. ;)

I re-encoded the file and uploaded a smaller (150MB) version. Here's the link:

Yes 680-720kb here :) T2 connections rock! (one time i had here up to 2mb/sec.)

DAMN :bang: stupid work computer is missing a codec and wont let install the proper one. I got sound but no video. :(

Did you try both links? The second one was made using a different encoding entirely.

Same thing happened to me. It just plays music and the graphics

hey fastTAgirl was on there!! celeb sighting!! :)

badass video

Holy huge file :eek: ...ill take your word for it

post it on street fire for 24 hrs only

DAMN AVI, im sure its a good video let us know when it's up somewhere.

Alright, alright. I put it on Streetfire. Now I just need to jack with his computer so he can't see it. Maybe a hosts file entry for streetfire pointing to a porn site. ;)
