Yup, no problem helping. I suspect you would be recording files to .mov's (quicktime format) and could use handbrake software to compress the files or change their format etc. Before that that, can you run a speedtest? I suspect the upload speed over satellite isn't extremely fast and likely the root cause. One additional thing that would be helpful, what is the size of the file? Depending on OS level you should be able to right click on the file and go to properties. On windows 7 the "general" tab has the info including the size I believe XP has this same tab but it's been forever since I've used it. On a mac you can right click and do "Get Info" or if you know how to get to a shell on linux/mac you can do an ls -la within the dir.

Ok, sorry for the sidetrack, what's the size of the file and how long is it taking to upload? speedtest.net is a great site for testing bandwidth. I would bet your download speed is decent but the upload is several times slower, possibly approaching dial-up. Even a lot of DSL/cable internet connections have a very low upload speed.

OK, I done a speed test & it came back like this
PING 1159ms
Download .65mbps
upload .04mbps

File size of the first vid in this post is 77.3 mb

Thanks for the help on this
 
Its on the second coat :banghead:

Honestly, when I first grabbed the saw and started running it, I thought it looked stupid, and it couldn't make up its mind how it wanted to be run... It would rev, bog, rev, bog.... But once you got a feel for it, and it broke in, it turned into this really slick, well ballanced cutting machine... I really started to like it... Was it a ported 372? No... But it weren't no 028 wood boss either... It was well balanced and had good power... It cleared chips and noodles like the 7900... It made you think there was no task it couldn't take care of... Now that it has about 20% more ass, I wanna run it!!!
It'll never be the 7901 though...
That saw was just perfect...:msp_wink:

Maybee we can make some noise @ the campground this weekend:rock:

Thanks for the complements on the 7901 Stumpkita.
 
You know? I always see majorpayne lurking about in threads, but we never hear from him...
Why??? He should post up once in a while...:msp_wink:

Holy crapola batman!!! You need to make them vids smaller!!!

Although 77.3mb is a large file your upload speed is the problem. Your download is around 650kbps (so about 12 times faster dial up) but your upload is running around dial-up speed (50kbps). You could download handbrake and reduce the quality of the video, convert it to an AVI and likely get the size greatly reduced for future uploads. It's still going to take a while with those upload speeds. The ping is also bad but expected on satellite. It's not good for videogaming but not going to harm anything for uploading/downloading to youtube. Do you have 3G/4G cellular service in your area that you could get in your house? If so, it's likely faster. I'll see if I can find a decent size .mov from a kodak easy share and see if I can provide you a decent set of options for handbrake if you want.
 
I have no idea. I'm doin good to be able to figure out the delay timer on the camera so ya'll don't have to see my fat azz waddling over to pick up the saw.:hmm3grin2orange:

My camera is a Kodak easy share picture/vid camera. I'll try to figure out what format it records in. It doesn't give any options to change that I know of. When it comes to computers & gadgets you'll have to talk slow & draw big pictures for me to understand, but I'm willing to try & learn if you're patient enough to teach.
Give me a machine, well, I can figure them out.:msp_thumbup:

Now for comparison here's my 365 special 4 cube entry for tlandrums buildoff. Same B&C , rim size & wood. I think the 562 would have been at the very least competitive.
[video=youtube_share;edETTwu4yUQ]http://youtu.be/edETTwu4yUQ[/video]

so does this mean you have 2 saws that could win in in Tennessee?
 
im ready for the rematch ,send them on down

DO some more to the Jred did ya??? A lil birdie told me you might be wanting a rematch. Don't think the 562 is up to it the way it is & the 365 is the same as it was for now. I plan on goin back into the 562 to play with the strato ports.

Did you run an air filter for the buildoff? You pay the shipping & I'll send you the 365 any time you wanna play with it. I'm planning on goin back into it & trying a few things sometime. I just threw the thing together a couple of days before the buildoff with a cyl I had that was on a friends saw that I bult, so I traded him a 372 top end for it. not bad for a worksaw cyl :msp_ohmy::msp_tongue: I also need to work on that chain, it wasn't what it should have been either. It's just the way I freehand file them for cutting firewood.
 
nope didnt do anything more to it becouse the cylinder was screwed up before the gtg and i had to grind the damage out of it just to be able to use it. the ring locating pin came out of the oem piston,needlees to say it wasnt the numbers id planned on using. i just wanted a saw in the mix. i got ahold of another cylinder and put my numbers back into it and whatya know, its back to the way it was before it blew up.ill be in ky at wiggs gtg with it so just bring yours along with ya and we'll have us a rematch. yes my saw had filter and choke in it for the build. my 562 is also the same as it was at the build off,it just has a few more scratches from workin with it. i just want to see where my saw would have stood if it hadnt of ate a piston before the build.

May i be included in the REMATCH, you know just for FUN. Stumpy ,your saws a very good runner...I would try other improvement on another cylinder and another chain. The combo at Terrys GTG ran well. Later JOdy:msp_biggrin:
Not trying to ruin the SB562 thread.....
 
much needed

Damn fine job on the 562 Stumpy. They are one of my favorite saws to mod. :rock:
It's nice to see the mix of talents brought to this forum.It makes me want to kick my dog when people get into "my #### is bigger than your ####"pissing matches.These kind of comments make me want to continue involvement in this site.I understand there's always going to be honest disagreements,but the smallness of some people (me included)gets to me sometimes.I think we ought to have a video made of the next gtg with three saw builders in a "The good,the bad,and the ugly" standoff holding their saws.Randy would have to keep those chicken legs covered up.Stumpy with a big old bandelero hanging on him.Terry as ...Van Cleef?Stumpy,nice job man,that saw looks stout.Nice to see you saw builders put a little gas on competitive flame pushing the other guy a little bit.I'd be glad to ship a 361 MM did for me recently to the Kintuckee gtg.Very spicy!:msp_wink:
 
Great post Gary.......this site is home to me so I try hard to keep the overall attitude a positive one. The level of cooperation and info sharing started really ramping up around here during the 460 and 066 build offs. Just before the 460 build Brad shared with me and Wiggs something he found out on the 460......if not for his sharing I would never have stood a chance in that build. Then in the 066 build Wiggs spilled the beans on some carb mods he had done.....

I've shared timing numbers and little tricks with everyone here because that's how I learned. These days if you get a saw built by Will, Brad, Jeremy, Terry, Stumpy, Scott, Jasha, etc you will get a strong runner because we all are friends that share our findings. Of course we will at times disagree but even in our disagreement we learn something.

Again Stumpy, that saw looks strong and your work is very clean.....thanks for sharing my friend.
