Gemini, your wish is my command! Here is a partial ride-through of the Animal Kingdom parking tram .

Thanks!

Great start to the site. Can't wait to see future additions.

I have one question Bobster...

For the webcam, how are you going to have video for times when the park is closed...like 3AM?

Again, thanks to everyone for the very positive feedback. Makes all the hard work over the last few months very worthwhile.

HAHA! That is the kind of question I like.

Well, the park is actually open sometimes at 3:00 AM (a few times around the Xmas holidays, the park had a closing time of 1:00 AM followed by Extra Magic Hours until 4:00 AM I believe). Ok, so that is the exception

At this point, I feel I have your question covered. I have footage shot about two hours after the park closing one night and there was nobody on Main Street except for two security guards standing at the very beginning of Main Street (around the Emporium). I guess they were making sure nobody passed that checkpoint; but I couldn't see anybody else around except for my wife and myself at the top of the train station. I waited and waited, hoping they would get out of the shot ... but they just stood there in the middle of Main Street chatting away. Anyway, this is the footage I plan on using from park closing until sunrise.

What I don't have covered is the park opening. So the video may go from a dark empty Main Street to a sunny morning with 100's of people in the shot. Well, unless I magically win a trip to Disney World in the next few weeks to shoot some new video ... lol!

On a related note, has anyone with a good monitor tried watching the videos full screen? Do they look decent at a high resolution? Obviously, the videos are not DVD quality, the file sizes for something like that would be crazy. But for the quality I have used, they look good enough for me to view full screen. However, I have an old Viewsonic CRT with a max resolution of 1024x768. I am curious how the videos look on a sparkling new flat screen at a high-resolution setting?

Remember something (here comes the techie in me). DVD "quality" is only a very lossy MPEG-2 stream at a resolution of 720X480. Even a great DVD can look bad when on a monitor with much bigger dimensions. That being said, you clips look fine. Nice work!

Well said. I was pretty much using the term in a general way, as most people associate "DVD quality" with good clear video.

Once more, thanks to everyone for the comments.
