I’ve promised the county forester, who is also my neighbor, I’d have a gasifier running out back of the forestry building one of these years.
Carl,
I too have gotten that message.
I down loaded a free program called “MP4 fast start” by Datagoround and it will relocate the “moov atom” from the tail end of the MP4 file to the front. The atom as they call it is a single data bit that contains the file information. If the MP4 file has the atom at the tail end the whole file has to up load before U-tube can decipher and begin processing the file. If the atom is in the front U-tube will know what to do right from the get go, thus they call it streaming because it can process the file as it uploads.
Just be careful to move the whole atom and not split it, The last time that happened Hiroshima was gone. : )
Sadly I have to get rid of this car. Between the projects I have going on this summer, work and wanting to build a gasifier for my truck, I won’t have time for this car. If anyone is interested it will be listed here tomorrow or Friday.

Thanks Wes, I had read something about that, but didn’t understand it.
Thanks Wes and Carl; I can say I’ve learned something today.
You can use Handbrake to compress your files before upload. You can either have a target file size or set the bit rate… 200 kbs doesn’t hurt things too bad and cuts down the file size considerably.
Hi Gang, Screw the videos. I look forward to seeing you all in real life again … There is an antique power show here on the 23 and 24 at our fairgrounds (Mineral Point, Iowa County, WI) which has a shower room etc in case anybody is passing by and wants to camp. It’s small time but if 5 wood trucks showed up it might get interesting. I usually do one or both afternoons there. Sometimes I do both. Typical food served there. I usually buy a big pickle. They usually have a tractor pull and tractor games (pushing barrels etc etc etc ) … M
And . . . . compressed files actually dial-up download MUCH faster! Viewable.
Recognized as can’t be expanded back out for high-res; but good’nuff for woodgas working.

I’m learning too, but a word of caution when downloading. Be careful to not get a bunch of unwanted ad ons or worse a trojan/virus. I used to trust CNET, but no more. I think Source Forge is still safe. Maybe some of you know more safe/unsafe download sites.
Do you still have the Olds Toronado for sale? I tried to find it on the site you gave the link to but with no success.

Gary, I couldn’t find it either. I will check in with them tomorrow.

How did you do that Carl? I didn’t know you could compress videos. Terry ought-a like this!
A setting of 20 on the quality reduced it 10:1 A setting of 30 reduced it 35:1 with a loss of quality. Here’s what it looks like at a setting of 20
P.S. Thanks Dick for the heads up on “Handbrake”
Hey CarlZ
The first setting worked fine.
~8 minutes to download your 41 seconds and view. My normal average is 3 minutes vieable in a hours worth of baby-sat 3 seconds bursts with LOTS of wait/snoozing or newspaper/magazine reading waiting times.
Interesting how you’ve done this. Looks like good variable controllability.
Again. Thanks much

She sure is nice Bill, Wish I had room in my stable.
Doe anyone know Herb Hartman made it into Wikipedia?
Thanks Bill.
Way to go Herb !!!

Tried a little old-school wood splitting, mainly just to see how hard it is. I used about a tablespoon full of chain saw gas to drop a 33’ standing dead elm tree, then used about a quarter cup of regular gas in the truck, plus a logging chain to pull the trunk up to the wood lot. Finally, I used four hand tools and about a gallon of sweat to split the log. There’s definitely an art to this – finding and following natural seams and working around knots, but the verdict is, it works!
Next step is to convert a burned-out table saw to run off of a small-engine shaft, hook it up to my SimpleFire, and I’ll be able to cut the split logs into stove-size pieces using very little external energy inputs. My wife wondered why I was thinking of firewood in August. I told her it’s because last year I DIDN’T think about it in August, and I paid for it in January.
