Video Clips

Below are some video clips taken at Brushyland, The Rocky Mountains and other cool places. All of the video clips on the Brushyland.com site are in Microsoft's Windows Media Video format which means they should stream onto your computer (i.e. they should start playing before the entire file is downloaded). Most clips are very short (under a minute) and are around 200Kbps which is only fair quality - but it should mean that they stream in fairly nicely on a decent connection.
