...and here is the promised Morro Bay video. As I said above, it was shot
at 4K 60fps, ISO100, SS 1/120, with an ND16+CPL filter. Rendered using
iMovie.

Twice "Video playback aborted due to a network error" :-(
Perhaps you need a better network.

the network is very clearly not the problem.

Let’s see;
Original MA2 recorded mp4 OK.
iMovie rendering OK. SmugMug import & rendering OK.
Folks in California, TN, FL, and a few other places see the linked mp4 OK.

So that leaves us with the question, “What could possibly be wrong in NZ that a network error is generated?"

I have difficulty viewing with firefox, but no issue with chromium.
There is lot of buffering, but here in the rural midwest (SW Indiana),
internet speed is not so great, nor is that likely to change soon.

Speedtest shows 4.3M down, 0.9M up right now. I usually get faster
speeds, but the telco gear seems to be affected by the heat- it has
happened before. My DSL link show 7M down, 1.2M up, about normal here.

(Just three more weeks, and I'll be living in the civilized world in
central Pennsylvania!)


Just three more weeks, and then central Pennsylvania. Is that a retirement move?

I guess that makes some sort of sense if you have to deal with rural Indiana. I have only been through Indiana once back in 1973 when I travelled from Syracuse, NY to Columbia, MO to visit some college friends in Columbia. That time we drove around Indianapolis without stopping. On the return trip we tracked North, and spent one night in Elkhart, before getting back to Syracuse. That was enough Indiana for me, and I haven’t been back since.

For now, I am quite content in my retirement here on the Central Coast of the Peoples’ Republic of California. Though it is a tad dry, and vulnerable to wildfire.

...and as a quick check on current speed, here 13 miles West of Paso Robles, CA, I show 114Mbps down, and 10.8Mbps up.


Retirement was last year at 62, but I continued part time work. This
will hopefully be total retirement, in a down-sized home on the edge of
a small town, with the town park just off my backyard.

Weird things about Indiana:
1. What the hell is a "Hoosier"?
2. "Fast Time" and "Slow Time". The northwest and southwest counties are
on Central time, the remainder of the state is Eastern time. Until a
couple years ago, the west counties on EST did not observe DST.
3. Santa Claus, Indiana. French Lick, Indiana. English, Indiana.
Tasmania, Indiana.
4. Huntingburg, IN, the Hollywood of the midwest. "Hard Rain" and "A
League of Their Own" were filmed in this town of 6000 people. Never saw
either movie. Christian Slater finished filming, and began his 90 day
jail sentence the day after the premiere of Hard Rain. Were you in on
that arrest?
5. In Spencer county, there is a Abe Lincoln National Park. Across the
street, there is an Abe Lincoln State Park. The National Park is free.
The state park charges $10, but you can go boating there, just as Abe
would have done.
6. The weather. As they say in Indiana: "If you don't like the weather,
wait five minutes."

Good things about Indiana:
1. Indiana Military History Museum in Vincennes. $7 gets you access to a
fantastic display of military equipment in realistic settings, including
a French ambulance that the French government would like to have back.
Three times a year (pre-C-19) they did re-enactments, $3 parking fee.
The last WW-I event included a strafing run during the battle. I assume
there were no live rounds!


If you get to Pennsylvania, stop in. I can show you the Statue of
Liberty in the Susquehanna River upstream from Harrisburg, and where
antifa threatened to burn the Flag at Gettysburg National Cemetary, but
thought better of it when they saw all the bikers with bullets.

I suspect my internet speed in Pennsylvania will be similar to here for
DSL, but I will also have cable available. I'm told cable is much
faster, when it is working.
