Hmmm, I really suck at all this video editing and uploading and stuff but...
Here is a clip I uploaded to photobucket. Don't know what all the pixilation and stuff going on is. The file on my PC looks great.
I've got Freemake Video converter, Allok Video Joiner and Allok Video spliter -- but apparently I don't know how to use them
We had another overcast morning. The reflection is quite noticeable but not as much as last time.
CPL indicator is pointing straight down to start. I rotate it 90* and then back again.
Notice the reflection of the defroster vents on the windshield. Appear and then disappear.
Also note the "brightness" of the dash and note that what at first appears to be a darkening of the entire frame is primarily just the dash. You can also see the road surface "lighten" and "darken" a little bit as well. If you focus on just the top of the tallest palm tree there is no (or insignificant) change in brightness
When the CPL indicator is point straight down (or up) it is blocking light in the horizontal plane. Most of the illumination of the dash board is reflected outside light and in the horizontal plane. The light coming directly to the camera through the windshield is going to be more evenly distributed/scattered in every plane. So while the dashboard brightness changes a lot the view through the windshield very little. Naturally the reflected image of the defroster vents is also in the horizontal plane.
[edit: maybe Flickr works better?]

Any advice working with video is greatly appreciated. Unfortunately I gather I'm a bit behind the multimedia curve since I'm using XP Pro (SP3).
This clip looks fantastic on my PC. Uploaded to Flickr not so much. Uploaded to photobucket it was terrible. I did not downgrade quality/hd so I suppose it's too much over the net. What do people usually do when uploading video for sharing? resolution? fps? What's a good generic format to convert to?
