Well as some of you may know, I have been trying to create Flight Sim videos.  Well between finding a good way to capture a video, and finding a place to host them, I have had some difficulty.  

I took the following videos a while back when testing a method using a DVD camcorder and hooking it up to my video card.  I have finally converted them into windows media format so that most of you should be able to see them without needing any special codecs.  Unfortunately, the conversion resulted in a great loss in visual quality.

I would like to note...the stutters you see in these videos are a result of the conversion from DVD format, to .WMV and are not caused by the game itself.

Anyway, these are nothing TOO special...simply test videos.  Any feedback/help or advice on capturing and hosting methods is welcome.  Just keep in mind I was not aiming for full professional production videos here.  And also, there is no sound unfortunately.

This is the same landing in Maui taken from two different angles.  As many of you know, I am fond of the behind the wing view and include them a lot in my screen shots so naturally, one of the videos is from a passenger seat behind the wing.  Anyway, enjoy.

I love the wing view video! Funny though when I am flying in real life, I hate being next to the wing. I like an unobstructed view, but in the sim its my favorite view lol.
 

My life is like the movie Office Space
