Why We love La Paz

BMG - 6-15-2007 at 07:34 PM

This is a 10.5mb wmv file. Will open in Windows Media Player.

La Paz

Just want to say "Thanks" for all the info I've gathered lurking on this site. Wish I had studied it a bit more before buying gas at the PEMEX in Santa Rosalia!

It's great, congratulations.
Wish I was there!

Bob H - 6-15-2007 at 07:48 PM

That was FANTASTIC! What a great way to get a Baja fix right away... how does one put something like that together.
Always love visiting La Paz... Very enjoyable!
Muchas Gracias!

great show - thanks

cabobaja - 6-15-2007 at 08:12 PM

Excelente!! Please do not provide this video short to the travel agencies. We who live here have tried to keep La Paz a secret. Gee, at least you did not show Applebee's!

Paula - 6-15-2007 at 08:22 PM

:?:

When I tried the link I got the music and the control bar at the bott om of the video-- NO SCREEN!!!!!

I love La Paz too, and really want to see the video!

longlegsinlapaz - 6-15-2007 at 08:37 PM

BMG, you DO love it here & your efforts in generating the video had to be a labor of love! It's awesome!

Keep trying Paula....it's worth it! I LIVE here, and I was extremely impressed! Will start building soon off to the right of the horses read end!! :lol:

wonderful ! Love that box spring fence .

Thanks for the comments

BMG - 6-15-2007 at 09:56 PM

I was afraid it was too much like having friends over to watch endless movies of our vacation.

Paula - don't know why the pics won't show on your computer. Did you try resizing from regular screen to full screen and back again?

cabobaja - didn't put the Applebee's photo in but we broke down and went there to get a salad fix.

Great show!
Loved the sunsets the best, and the boat with all the pelicans, and the food, and the little humor here and there, and ...

DITTO! Great fun, thanks! :bounce:

Natalie Ann - 6-16-2007 at 09:56 AM

Thank you BMG!!! La Paz has been my home away from home for so many years now, and I'm really missing her at the moment. Your little movie brought tears of joy to my eyes.

It's obvious you had a wonderful trip. I hope you are fortunate enough to return for many more.

That was absolutely great, and i am so glad my flan made it in there.

toneart - 6-16-2007 at 11:02 AM

Paula, are you trying to play the video on a MAC? I tried too. WMF opened.The screen appeared with a box that said, "this file may not play correctly because it was compressed by using a codec that is not supported." Not only did it not play correctly.......it did not play at all.

I have always used PCs and rarely have problems. Don't know why I bought a MAC laptop. The packaging is cute (a word I dislike), I guess. I needed a wireless laptop for the road and it doesn't do anything. The HELP is inadequate for explaining how to do anything. :mad:

I know, some here will disagree. Fine! I'll trade it for a PC wireless laptop; within two years old.

Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing the video. I will take my MAC off line and hook up my 6 year old PC desktop. It will do anything I ask, except do the dishes.
Hey :light:

Maybe I'll toss the MAC in the soapy dishwater and let it gurgle.....that's something.

Sorry for getting off subject. If anyone can enlighten us as to how to correct this specific MAC transgression,OK, but maybe we shouldn't let this MAC vs PC go any further in this string. If we want to pursue it, we could start a new topic.

Wingnut - 6-16-2007 at 11:14 AM

great show, thanks for putting it together.

toneart - 6-16-2007 at 01:49 PM

Nope.......my PC WMF won't play it either. Says I need to download a WMF codec. What is it? I have never had a problem with any WMF playing before.

I know there are others who know what a codec is and why it is needed. Is this something brand new, or is it something so obscure that, if I download it for this video I will never have a need for it again?

TERRIFIC

bajajudy - 6-16-2007 at 02:14 PM

What a nice job.
I played it on Real Player, no problem
Thanks for the wonderful photos

amir - 6-16-2007 at 03:03 PM

Toneart, and Paula,
I had the same problem with my PC and I downloaded whatever it was needed, I just followed the instruction that kept appearing on my screen. I think it is a new version of the Windows movie viewer that can view slide shows like the one in this thread. I am now able to also view other videos that before were not coming up at all. As technology advances, the software that runs these devices have to be periodically upgraded. For more info, ask a techie, which I'm not...

I Googled "Codec" and it is a downloadable file that will decompress large files. WMF has automatically offered the download but I declined.

My PC is almost as old as I am and I give it the same consideration as I would myself; Don't over-tax the short term memory and conserve the hard drive for when it is really needed.

I like La Paz Because

I am a newbi on the BajaNomad site and cannot believe what I've been missing. Your La Paz piece was excellent. You have captured many of the reasons we love La Paz as well. We spend nearly all our time between La Paz (Isla San Jose) and Cabo Pulmo but as the pendulum has swung between the two, we seem to have settled in Buena Vista. It's all a beautiful experience, each place having their own special attributes. Thanks for sharing.
