Hi Stephen,
The camera was taped to the chassis of a car once the body had been
removed. The driver was John Watts, who was a national BSCRA Formula 1
champion about ten years ago. He's a bit good.
I've now got the video (compressed with Handbrake) uploaded to YouTube
and then embedded in a page on the website. It's a smaller window and
should suffice until I've fiddled with the larger file.
Thanks for your response.

Well it's fine on my 1st Gen Intel iMac by Ethernet and also
wirelessly on my iPad. It froze on my iPad yesterday but the signal
wasn't that strong though at the time.
Liked the video - was the camera mounted on a moveable post or
something or was it just a skilled 'driver' who managed to stay on
the track the whole time?
Oh and the video frame extended off the right hand edge of the web
page.
Cheers,
Stephen

I have published my first video (created in iMovie 09), to my first
website (created in Rapidweaver) but I wonder whether my learned
fellow members of this group might be able to offer some advice.
The content of the video is irrelevant (even if you do have a
lifelong passion for slot racing) but I could do with some help. I
should mention that the website is hosted on MobileMe.
At home, on a Apple Mac, I can view the video on my website easily.
At the pub, the landlord's Windows laptop played the video without
a hitch. It even plays flawlessly on my iPhone 3G (as the video is
also on YouTube). I can't play it at work as I can't/am not allowed
to install Quicktime.
However I have had a couple of emails from people who say that -
when they go to the video page on the website - their computer just
hangs. One or two probably don't have Quicktime installed but
others seem to have fairly modern computers. Might it be a lack of
RAM? Might it be those browsing using Microsoft IE? I don't know.
So I wonder whether some of you might be kind enough to view the
video on your computer and see what happens. I always wait until
the status bar shows that at least 50% of the video has loaded
before playing the video. I should also like you , if you would be
so kind, to have the sound turned on as there is both music and a
commentary (and one person has pointed out they can see the movie
but not hear the sound). You can view the video at
http://www.bexhillslotcars.co.uk/page34/page34.html
Perhaps you would be good enough to post your findings on this
forum. If you have no problems, then let me know. If you do have
problems, perhaps you might let me know what the problems are and
also mention what computer and browser you are using. And, if you
do encounter problems, do you have any ideas how I can resolve
those issues?
Thanks in advance.
Martin
