What a fantastic turnout
Great looking cars and setting.

Do you think we will start things off at Brooklands with the national anthem?

Every time I see video's or pictures about Pagoda gatherings I think dang we should do that here once. Yes I know Willingen and the Ardennes were here....and now I think dang I should have participated  :D.

A local one with Belgians and maybe some southern Dutch would be fun; Damme would be a great setting I think.

Thanks for posting ... I've taken several video clips also. As soon as I figure out how to reduce the size and then upload them to Google Plus I will add them here as well.

Perhaps some of you can give me some hints how to do this? :)

Rolf Dieter;

in Windows I think you can use video maker and convert to WMV file.

here is a link also that explains more options  http://www.wikihow.com/Compress-Video

Ohhh, don't go WMV file. That's a very old fashioned format. Go for a H.264 encoded .mp4 file. Those can be uploaded to Youtube, Google+ etc…

Thanks Fellows,

Reading up on it is a bit overwhelming :) my file sizes are about 180MB of the clips I took. My computers are all Mac's (Apple) For image compression I use

This Link ----> http://www.imageoptimizer.net/Pages/Home.aspx

Is there a similar  H.264 encoded .mp4 link/program out there?

Peter, can you provide me with a link that you use?

Thanks in advance!

For Mac use Handbrake…. http://handbrake.fr

If you want to optimize images on the Mac, just use preview… Double click on the image file and then use Tools / Adjust Size… very easy!
