Lots of other interesting stuff.

Feedback of the show would be greatly appreciated.

 

They have 'Vettes in the UK?? Just kidding. Where in the video does your car appear?

Neither of my vettes appear...I do though

I'm Nigel from Illinois

 

If your name is Nigel, you're not from Illinois.

Anyway, I plan on hooking the laptop to my TV to watch your video.

Nigel, thanks for the opportunity to watch the Corvette webblast (what we call webcast) from the United Kingdom via YouTube.

This premier webblast will become a regular series in January 2013. The video was hosted by Rob Ashard, a longtime member of the CCCUK, and was recorded with Tom Falconer of Clairemont Corvette in Kent, just 45 miles southeast of London.

The show had guest Jack Humphrey via video link from Denver, CO, as well as you, Nigel, also a longtime member of CCCUK, linking in from Illinois.

The show has a general goal to answer questions from viewers about Corvette. This episode, the pilot, had dialog among the host and guests answering certain questions and talking about specific parts, functions, concepts, or what have you, about various models of Corvette. There were also a few transitions into clips about some owners and their modifications of their personal vehicles.

To the producers, I would humbly offer the following suggestions:
Other than that, the webblast looks like it will be a big hit, and the production was top notch.

Good luck to you!


NOTE: On the technical side, my laptop has somewhat of a slow processor and while watching the video directly from YouTube, the video was very choppy – even though the audio was fine. Until I get a faster video card, I got around this by downloading the video from YouTube onto my laptop as an .flv file and watching that via Windows Media Player. Having connected my laptop to my TV via S-Video cable, it was like watching a regular program on TV! What a blast!!

I saw this post in the off topic section and watched the show last night. I posted that I thought the show was well done and it was nice to hear the opinions and stories of the knowledgeable corvette participants. I look forward to further webcasts.

 

Thanks for you feedback guys. sno'Jib, thanks for your comments. I only had a conversation with someone else about more video content, as he mentioned you could just listen to it as a podcast and not miss much too.
We have more video up our sleeve, and bear in mind this is a first bash. With being happy that the technical side worked (there was a huge amount of gear there), but can also be improved, we can work more on the content. Not sure that your laptop is a happy thing as someone I know watched it streaming off Youtube in France on a very bad broadband connection, and it was smooth playback. We hope to improve the picture quality which your laptop may struggle with.
Thanks, once again for your comments, 31flavours too, and don't forget suggestions for topics.
Thanks, Rob Ashard.

 

It plays fine on my current laptop, but I had to use the old one because that one has the S-Video connection. Ahhh, Technology.
