Very cool Chris. Is this a personal project of part of a club or organizations?

How can someone get there tank tour on the site?

It's just a personal project. I am in toronto, so all those tanks are near here. or within an hours drive.

I might arrange a trip to ottawa, and try and schedule a few tanks all in one day. But thats a busy day. And my wife will think I'm an even bigger reeefgeek than she already suspects.

A few people have asked me that lately, It would be cool if they sent me videos and I edit them down and stuck them on my site I suppose, but what do I say if there video really bad? (not that mine are great). hmmm.

I'm gunna think about that, maybe make some kinda submission document.
I'm trying to keep them short... 5-7 mins.

If anyone has suggestions, I'll hear gladly hear them.

Chris

I believe Bev posted your link a while back, great site!

I have high speed and the videos seemed to buffer and stop a lot too. If you can change the settings I would buffer way more at the beginning before starting the videos? Or offer them for download?

I dont mind waiting for the video to start, but it is annoying to stop in the middle and wait.

what kind of connection do you have? the videos never pause for me, and usually start before the countdown is done

I have ADSL from Telus. I get 100k/second downloading at the very minumum, usually it is 150k/s.

Some of the videos went without a hitch, then I started the sump one, and it was chunky. Maybe there were lots of people downloading videos at that time and the slowdown was server side.
