Hey, thanks for looking, or at least trying. (sorry Nancy)
I guess I should also mention that you'll need the latest version Windows Media Player, version 10 or later.
Download here Probably running on Windows XP.
High Definition video is a relatively new format, and frankly up until a few months ago I didn't even know the videos could be played and edited on a computer at all. Once I found out they could be, I downloaded a few of the videos I was blown away by the clarity and detail. The big file size does not lend itself to the internet very well, but anything can be downloaded if given enough time.
I'm glad I took the time to download a 200 Mb video from this site
Pine Lake Films when it was availible. It was a lovely HD video that really was a good example of what HD video is all about.
Tim, I ended up getting the
Sony HDR-HC1. Sony seems to be taking the lead in HD video cameras, and currenly has the cheapest one availible at the moment, the
HDR-HC3.
I spent a little more (about $300) and got the one I did because it has a few more features and controls than the HDR-HC3, but I have seen (downloaded), side by side video footage of those two and one other much more expensive camera, and the video quality was virtually indistinguishable.
