Dave,

I appreciate that you have one of the few travel forums which has neither banned my posts nor disappeared.

This year I went to Madagascar and Iceland, two new places for me. Lots of editing to do now for the videos and stills.

Getting sick, as in Madagascar, is not what I wish to repeat. Chinese air pollution, not limited to that country, also made me sick, for the second time. And this was on a normal tourist route. I know nothing about Shenyang.

My current inclination is to find places I have missed where the water is drinkable and the air decent enough to breathe.

These function as severe limitations upon future travel, but I feel they are necessary.

Mathew,

I photograph and edit the videos, making no claims to be a technical expert.

Normal streaming is the video playing without any pauses. No one else has described your particular problem. Perhaps it’s caused by the slow internet connection. “Maple Leaf National Parks” streams at about 700 kb/sec, double the speed of nearly every other video of mine.

If downloading will help, that’s done on the Windows Media Player as the video streams by clicking on “File”, then “Save As”, and next creating or having prepared a file in which to save the film. Not sure whether this works if the streaming is interrupted as you describe.

How the torrent world operates is unknown to me. But this torrent site has at least 32 of my 36 videos:

Probably fails to include “Maple Leaf National Parks”, which came out in December.

Hope this helps.
