Video : Uganda Equator



Categories : Africa, Travel, Uganda, Video |

As promised, here is the first YouTube video from my recent Uganda trip. It’s a demonstration we had when we visited the equator - water really does go down the drain in opposite directions in the northern and southern hemispheres!

More videos coming soon. This one was made using Windows Movie Maker, and although the quality is not too bad it crashed about 11 times in the process. I don’t think it handles the Quicktime files that my camera produces very well. Can’t wait til I get my MacBook and see how good that is…

    I had a similiar problem when I was using movie maker. If it’s anything like the problem I had, it was related to the codecs. I documented my problem/solution here, so maybe that will help you.
