    I've got a You Tube channel with videos taken with my cheap Windows mobile phone.

    The quality isn't bad but the subjects involved aren't exactly crowd pullers. :D

    Yes they were up until last year....strictly speaking they were the mother in laws but it was us who had to look after them. We had an old guy who helped but when he retired it was left to us.

    Being animal lovers we were of course totally useless at it from the business side but it was fun. If we had been thirty years younger we would have taken it more seriously. As we're getting on a bit we decided to sell them to the guy who rents the other land for cereal growing. So we still get to see them when we want.

    Thanks....you must be a glutton for punishment. :D

    I should say I can't take credit for the Tobacco en Cuerda one. That was copied from elsewhere in order to show a fellow pipe smoker what I smoke.

    I've been down to your part of the world on the bike quite a few times UK Man . There's a big roundabout with a Choripaso trailer, which I've often stopped at for a choripan lunch.

    It makes for a very pleasant day trip and another member of this forum lives that way too, who sometimes meets me there.

    They've started extending the motorway from Mercedes to here which will make a big difference time wise on the journey to BA although I've no idea how long it'll take them to complete it.

    In fact it's planned to pass about 400 metres from the countryside place so it'll be interesting to see what impact it'll have during the building phase and once it's open.

    The wife has more of an attachment to the place than I have. All I ever seem to do when I'm there is work!! :)

    I've been experimenting with software that upscales video, especially since I convert VHS to digital. However, it's not as wonderful as the developers would have us believe since, not only does it take hours to process, the results are questionable.

    In this video I upscaled a two minute video from 720x480 to 1440x960 and it took a whopping two hours to process.

    Judge for yourself.
