Just the one so far, the view from the bridge of the traditional non-powered duck race.

edit: Hmm, the upload is actually pretty crud on the video service I was using - I need to do more techy meddling before it's worth people trying to watch the video.

I'll upload some video of the powered race later this evening hopefully, and I'll get round to checking my camcorder tape before too much longer as well.

Aha, here it is - smaller in size, but their conversion to plays-nicely Flash Video has finished now, so it actually works: http://blip.tv/file/211267

I like the way that the last words on the 3rd video are 'had you not cheated'......

Great Videos Matt!

There's even better quality versions of those vids available.

If you swap from the nice Flash Video option to the original MPEG4 file, it will take a few minutes before it starts playing (Quicktime will have to download the entire video before any of it will play), but it will then look better.

The original files from my phone are about 90mb each - they look pretty nice though! Once I capture the camcorder tape (thanks to the couple of people who waved that around for me - goldy and worm I think), I might produce a cool edited video combining footage from both if I can - multi-angle duck race!

any dodgy shots in the powered Duck Race are entirely down to me - my nose kept turning the camera off.

I did manage to get a shot of Ben's duck exploding though, which made it all wortwhile

(when the camcorder coverage is posted that is - not Matt's phone)

Brilliant. Nice to relive that moment- my craft was dismantled and destroyed the day after, so it's nice to have a memento. Other than MY TROPHY, of course.
