I would like to know if a certain video appears okay on other people’s computers. (It looks fine on mine.) Here’s the 17-second video: [- YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p61TJoKlVP0) If any of you have the time, could you please watch it and tell me if it appears okay (not shaky) on your computer? Thanks. (It’s a video of me playing my bass clarinet - nothing dirty or anything. Except maybe a few of my shelves in the background. 😛 ) ---

Looks fine to me. Not a very interesting melody, but nice hat! 🙂 ---

It looks good and not at all shaky. ---

Looks fine to me (linux system with firefox, if it matters). I’m pretty sure I’ve heard that tune before though. 😉 Seriously, sound and video were both fine. If you are testing out recording yourself playing I would recommend aiming the camera a bit lower so we see more clarinet and less ceiling. Just my 2 cents. ---

Works fine for me too. ---

Since this seems to have been resolved – and since we ordinarily treat “watch my YouTube video” posts as spam [though that is clearly not the case here] – I’m going to close this thread.
