I was thinking about this today while viewing the video. If Wendy's had to go through P&Z to re-open as a Wendy's (the EXACT same thing it was previously), then why would this pool company be an exception.
I realize it is probably a moot point since the pool company has pulled out, but I think we have an Asst Dir of PW who is overstepping his authority on this and it needs to be nipped in the bud.

We cannot cherry pick who has to follow the rules and who does not.

I agree the time stamp issue is a problem, though there might be a workaround for that if I can find an alternate player at that host.

The slider is a problem in the beginning, but there is a possible work around. If you hit play, then pause, the video will continue to load in the background. Doing that say when you first check out an article, and then go back to playing after reading one of my voluminous (of late) tomes should have loaded the video enough to scroll though most of it. At least, that's my understanding of how it works.

Wait, I tried it again and it worked.
The only things I notice right away that I don't like is that it doesn't seem to let you forward through to an section that you want to view.
In addition, there is no time stamp (so if I wanted to refer someone to your blog/video and say "watch xxx - xxx).

Well they say when it rains it pours, so does that me when the sun shines is blazes?

We successfully uploaded the video (finally) to google, and to a new service called blip.tv (which we've experimented with once before).

I decided to put both versions up. If you're feeling adventurous, please try the blip.tv version (the smaller video) and let us know how it plays for you here in the comments.

OK, once again the video upload failed. I've emailed Google for assistance but I have no idea how long it will take for them to get back to me (if at all).

I tried uploading the video to another service as well, but it is too large for that one (though there was no reference to size limitations prior to uploading).

I'm uploading it to Google again, this time encoded slightly differently. I am also uploading it to BlipTV. hopefully, when I get home from work today one of the versions will be functional.

I apologize for the delays on this, however, while we've had issues with other video hosting services, Google has always worked, until now.

Update: Sorry for the delays on the video. It was uploaded originally Tuesday evening. I didn't check on it until I finally got to the article only to get the "Failed" message after I added all the info about the video.

I uploaded it again this morning and had the same problem. I reconverted the file, this time into two different formats. Now I am attempting to upload it, this time to two different hosting sites.

I have no idea how long this will take. However, assuming one of the versions upload properly, the video will be online as soon as possible.
