Here are some of the videos we have taken of Charlotte with our digital (MiniDV) video camera. Files are named with the date taken (year, month, day) with a letter at the end to differentiate between videos taken on the same day. There's a short description for each file as well. I included the filesizes so those with a modem or other slower connection will know which videos are feasible to download. As always, I suggest downloading the video to your machine before watching it (right-click, save target as) so you can watch as many times as you want. If the files are too large for you to download, contact me and I can send a CD to you with these videos on it.
