Where to buy a quality machine with a Efka servo?

It isn't a link, it is downloadable video..Hope Bob doesn't mind I rotated it ( it was sideways on ) so it is easier to watch..

Had to crop it a lot after the rotation to get it past the1.4mb limit here ( apparently Bob can upload bigger files than I can his was 4.3mb )..it will play on VLC player or similar.

My iPad doesn't like either file, but my PC has no problems with them.

IDK what's wrong but the vid plays on my old computer w/windows 8?And it's upright?

Here's a shorter vid.

Same here as stated by Northmount, iPads cannot play this type of video. Got it to work fine on my PC.

Bob's movie is in the .mov format. I use Windows 10 and when I clicked on the file, it offered to play it in an app called "TwinUi" - which is a built-in Win10 Movie and TV player. In previous OS's, I would have used the Quicktime Alternative from Free-codecs.com.

<aside >The original encoding is h264 in a .mov ( which one would think would "just work" with apple in an ipad, as they are behind both .mov and h264 )..it plays OK in your computer Bob, because your system is reading the header that tells it which way up you took it ( apple gear ? )..When I tried to recode it as a smaller h264 ( actually an mpeg ' avc ) which is the same thing, I could do so, but I could not get it small enough to be uploadable here ( best i could get was a compression to 1.5 mb , below that it was too "lossy" )..so I switched it to mp4 ( which most systems can read "native"..I could have wrapped it in an mkv, which again most systems can read "native"..VLC player reads almost anything on almost any platform, and it is free and open source ) ..Video is always a bit of a crapshoot though..and worse  since MS removed the media player in win10 ( I don't have win10, I did , I was one of the testers, but as MS decided to ignore all our input, and make crippled spyware that doesn't like many expensive programs or a lot of hardware configurations ) I wiped it of the machines it was on and put back win7 ulti or linux..

life is too short to mess with win10, and my win7 installs are airgapped from the web, because again life is too short to leave a win box on the web..I have one xp machine that is allowed to talk to the web because it has software that needs to authenticate it's licence every 6 months..and another win7 box that has software with a similar need..and all "updates" to win10 are blocked off..Linux is not invulnerable..but it is so much easier to keep secure, and anyone can see exactly what is in the system, and what it is doing,  open source software has everything anyone could need except the gamers who want directx12..and for them there is open GL etc..:)..and it doesn't have the worry that some skiddie can own it like MS systems have, or that MS can brick it with a bad update, or that they are in your files and sending things back to the mother ship..( try running wireshark on a win10 box, it will open your eyes just how much win10 talks to MS's servers, even when it is ostensibly doing nothing ) you cant block all telemetry in windows, even MS admits this..and since safe harbor is no more, as a business in the EU any of us cannot legally send customer data outside due to privacy laws, so we cannot let MS ( or anyone ) read our hard drives and files..

Just upload videos to youtube and avoid all these system specific issues. That's one of the reasons youtube is so popular - it just works on nearly every device. Mark the video "unlisted" if you only want close, personal friends to know you take vertical videos.

[mikesc]

Requires creating a youtube account..with all that that entails..better ( IMO ) to run your own site, host your own videos etc..But, it wasn't my original video ( I just recoded it and rotated it, to try to help out ) so I don't have the rights to host it..

Youtube is sent from Google as flash in a lot of browsers and systems ( no matter what format you may have uploaded it there as )..which is a horrible security risk, and when it isn't sent as flash, it is sent as HTML5 media..which many older machines, operating systmes and browsers don't support, so they drop back to flash, with all the security risks that running flash entails..nearly an exploit per day for years..thanks macromedia /adobe..

However, at least one is not required to join, sign in, or register in order to see content on youtube, unlike facebook , pinterest et al..

Thanks Mike for editing the vid. 

Apple programmers can be " sloppy" , in my uneducated opinion. 

They can't even get siri down. 

I will just go to you tube. 

I only have an Iphone, which is registered under my wife's name.
