I want to post a video of one of my 1.4g fireworks displays. I have it on my computer in the windows media player but I can't figure out how to move it to a thread. I want to keep in a window on the Pyrotalk forum and not have it take you off forum to utube or somewhere else. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jay, You can post it on YouTube and select the "private" feature so it is not viewable to the general public--only to those you share the link with--like Dave has done with some of his videos on here.
There is a simple [albeit goofy] tutorial of how to upload to You Tube here:

Hope this helps--I can't wait to see the video!!!
Then you use the "Insert Video" function in the "go advanced" button--next to the "post quick reply" button.
That should let you play it in the forum window & keep it unviewable on YouTube.
Good Luck!!!

You have to split it into two--you can only upload a maximum of 15 minutes per segment.
