 Most of the videos listed below were shot on MiniDV and captured using a Pinnacle Systems DV500Plus. Then encoded in Adobe Premiere using LSXMpeg encoder. MPEG Format is MPEG1 at 320x240. If you have a broadband connection then you are probably safe streaming these videos into your media player. If you are on dial-up, then I suggest right-clicking on the links and saving to your desktop before attempting to play these
More recently I have been uploading all of my videos to YouTube. Please visit my YouTube user page for all the latest and greatest Grabercars/La Bala videos!
