Well I have the results, lots of big words that are new to me regarding problems with my lower back like "evidence of generalized disc dehydration and "scattered osteophyte formation" and lots more ! Basically it means my back is f***** ! 
I have lived a life around racing on two and four wheels from 1968 to 2013 with Motocross (used to be called scrambling) to out and out car racing. I was a sponsored car driver for years with about 300 race wins and two British championships and was in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) support races for several years, and raced abroad in international events. Also I have been a motor mechanic since 1962 so lifting heavy parts have also taken it's toll. Possibly if I had lived my life wrapped in cotton wool I might not have worn myself out like I have ? but who knows as I am often going to funerals of my friends who are several years younger than me, I think it's the luck of the draw. What does the panel think ?

Thanks for that Paul, brilliant! it just shows with a bit of inspiration and talent you can make a good short interesting little film without all the bells n whistles equipment ! also not having to pay anybody else (unless it's your twin brother)?
I am off to the doctors in the morning to see the results of the MRI scan and hopefully get enough pain killers to help me through this. I am determined to fly to Spain on Saturday as I am taking my 84 year old brother with us for his first trip abroad and his first on an aero plane ! He is so looking forward to it and I can't let him down. Wish me luck !!!!

Yes it is, (and that's what all we old boys all know it as), but that's the technical term on the MRI scan. I don't know if I will be able to recover enough to fly off to Spain in a weeks time though !!!!!

This is not everyone's cup of tea but it keeps us OAPs alive in Spain !

All good, I bought another genuine Toshiba external hard drive and left the laptop on the marble floor and raised the rear with a book. I left the patio door open as it cools down to about 20c at night. It still took about 10hrs to render as there was quite a few transitions !!  Surprisingly the 2tb hard drive was about the same cost as if I had bought it off the internet back in the UK !!

Hi guys, I am down in Spain at the moment and was asked to video a show for a charity event. Is there a maximum GB that you can use with Movieplus X6? I used two cameras a GoPro in 2.7k and my camcorder in 1080p. The event lasted about one and a half hours and the GoPro filmed the complete show, and I used the camcorder for various parts to edit in. However after I put it all together and left it rendering to the laptop hard drive it failed to complete. I know that it is very large in GBs and it has almost filled the C drive so that may be the problem ? I will pop out and get an external hard drive in the morning and get some more space and try again or am I asking too much ? by the way we have been down here for the last 5 weeks enjoying 30c plus weather so feel sorry for us !

My video of Colchester zoo taken at the end of last month.

We made the BIG mistake of going at the end of the school holidays, with lots of kids making a hell of a noise - anyway enough of my whining, hope you enjoy my efforts.

I liked that Albert, well filmed and a good bit of editing with music that suits !!!  Personally I would have done away with the audio of the kids shouting, but that's just me !. I haven't been to a zoo for ages, and the ones in Spain are not to my liking because of the attitude of a lot of the Spanish public towards animals (or at least the older population that love their bullfighting)!
As I reported earlier, Sue and I are off to our Spanish abode for a while and I hope to make some interesting videos. I do get roped into filming bands and groups when we are down there and some are quite good! as they are made up of old retired players and singers from "named groups" from the 60s/70s ! 
However we do like going on what I call "lost drives" off the beaten track (Spain is a big country) and there is a lot of empty spaces with brilliant landscapes and old villages.
On another note I have bought another camera, it's a Sony FDR AX700. The main reason I bought it is because a lot of my filming is for bands in difficult lighting situations especially at night, and the AX700 has a one inch sensor compared with my AX53. One good thing is that they both take the same battery, however the 53 has amazing stabilization hand held compared to most camcorders and has a better wide angle to max telephoto range (so time will tell) ! It certainly won't make me a "Steven Spielberg" but it might save me a lot of time when trying to make lighting corrections during editing.
This is the sort of thing I make, not everybody's cup of tea but the woman singer is very good for this type of song.

Sue and I are flying back to Spain next month for a while but meanwhile we were asked to model for a local art group. We really enjoyed it and would do it again if it fits in when we are in the UK. Keeping still at our age for3 hrs is easy!

Well I played about with this last night with an old 10 gig card and suddenly (as if by magic) it worked !!! The funny thing is that the card is the one that I tried in the first attempt ! so I'll never know what the problem was. I think I'll get my old 8mm editing gear out of the attic with the glue n scissors as at least you could see what was happening!

Hi guys, I have been trying to update the software in my HC-X2000 camcorder from Ver 1.3 to Ver 1.4 and have had no success. All I get is "Reinstate or check card" I have copied the instructions from Panasonic to the letter. I have tried it with a newly formatted card from the camera and my laptop and get the same result ! I downloaded the update from the genuine Panasonic site and it is exactly the same size as they say. Has anyone any ideas where to go  to next ?

A well filmed constant light and contrast video, although I live in Kent (when we are not in Spain) my wife or I have never been to Belmont house. You were very lucky to get a good day with the weather that was perfect for filming as it makes our hobby worthwhile. Well done Albert !!

Cheers mate, What I meant to say is that I made my own ages ago but I always wondered if there was one on x6 that I have never found. I simply keep it in overlays called "Thirds screen" and just use the green screen every time.
