About the Video

I shot this video with a Sony DCR-PC100 at the 2000 Games in Sydney, Australia, on 24 September 2000.

I captured the video directly from my camera to my laptop computer and did the editing in Adobe Premiere LE.

To put the video into Flash, I ran the MOV file through Sorenson Squeeze and exported an FLV file.
