Hi Brion, I suppose that I could try uploading to Google Drive and sharing the files with you, which may or may not encounter the same problem that the Labs tool has. I would prefer to be done with this project ASAP, so if it's OK with you I can send you some kind of physical media and then you can upload as you see fit.
One note: there are a couple of clips that I would rotate or concatenate if I could. My antiquated editing software is 32-bit, so like my browser, it crashes when dealing with large video files. If you could rotate or concatenate as you think best, I would appreciate it. Please email me off-list with the address where you would like me to ship the physical media with the videos.
