hehe I used to have a baseline dell, 14MB integrated graphics adapter, enough said, didnt even support movie maker  ...I had a hard time getting videos online
Just finished building my quad core i5 system, much better 
Id say your computer not being able to playback is a hardware thing. Id like to learn premier because I know its super powerful. Is it hard to use?

It's not running slow because of the video, just none of the programs can run it except the camera software and one freeware program I've tried so
far- and the latter can barely run it, it was designed for much small file sizes in older formats. It eats up my CPU up while trying to edit it and
the output is always distorted from inability to save in HD formats

@UnintentionalChaos:
I had the exact same problem with my camera - it shot in some HD format that nothing could read except the bundled camera software, which was
terrible. Try Any Video Converter, that's what I used. It's freeware and worked well for me.
I use past tense because I just built a new computer, and Windows 7 is thankfully able to read my movie files. This is great because I didn't want to
spend a boatload on movie editing software just to do the really basic edits I do in my videos. The conversion process takes hours, and this should
shorten it drastically. I'll be posting my first video using the new machine this weekend, assuming some other problem doesn't arise.

Actually, a good topic everyone can pitch in on is chlorate cells.
Instead of a vlog exchange that can be a straight collaborative video.

Other topics i just thought of:
Making hydrogen - We know of hundreds of ways to make hydrogen, from dissolving metal, to electrolysis, to water gas shift reactions. A comprehensive
guide would be helpful. Everybody can contribute, the lesser equipped labs can do the simpler reactions, the better equipped can do more complicated
processes like photochemical water splitting.
Make fire without matches - Lots of highly exothermic reactions that catch fire, everybody can pop in a few.

I'm really on board with the hydrogen plan! And fire without matches

Here are some lesser known fire without matches suggestions.
Potassium permanagante with dimethylsulfoxide
Sodium Peroxide + paper + ice

Almost had a fire yesterday when I was messing around with superglue and shopping reciepts. I decided I was going to write on the reciept with
superglue, and when I did, I noticed a darkening of the paper. In areas where excess glue was applied, bubbling was noticed with the evolution of a
very small amount of smoke, at which point it was chucked in the sink with water. It may be worthy to note that the reciept was "thermal paper", which
turns black when heated. Not what I expected to happen (which was nothing) and caused a bit of a suprise!

Count me in... Anything to get others interested in science and away from escapism is a worthy cause indeed....

Superglue is known to react with cellulose and get quite hot.
On the other hand the thermal paper is really heat sensitive (it may well darken at 100 degrees C, far from the ignition temperature (Fahrenheit 451
anyone? ))

Does everyone want to do fire making methods for our collaborative video then?

Trioctylphosphine and a KimWipe. As it oxidizes to its oxide, much heat is produced and it can ignite.
Neither flask nor beaker.

That's never stopped me, every one of my videos has been done before. i've never made a single original video ever. 
The idea behind a collaboration about fire making methods is that we do EVERYTHING*, so if possible we have 25 ways or so of making fire without
matches.
such a high density of fire making methods has not been done before

True, its not so much originality, as quality
So when are we getting started?

Propylene Glycol + Calcium Hypochlorite
Dinitrogen Tetroxide + Aniline
CaC2 + HCl + NaOCl
Liquid Chlorine + Ethanol???
Just naming a few more

Only person that has really confirmed they want to participate in making fire is you. everyone else is either just making suggestions or haven't
confirmed.
i'll keep the suggestion open for another few days, if no one else wants to participate then i'll go to another topic.

Hey I'm always up for making fire
I just would like to know how exactly this collab would work. Would we come up with a list of reactions, then assign one to each person that's
contributing? Will this be posted under that new YouTube page you mentioned earlier?
I'd like to contribute, I'm just interested in what the process would be. Liquid chlorine + ethanol, as mewrox99 suggested, would be awesome to do.
I've been meaning to make liquid chlorine for a while now, and that'd give me a good reason!

We come up with a list of reactions, and everyone does what they want to do. The video clips are sent to me and i edit together the best videos.
As for where i post them, that's going to depend on on what the contributors would like. I can post on my main channel for more exposure or i can post
on the satellite channel if people prefer a more community approach.

That sounds good to me, count me in.
I'd say if we plan on doing a bunch of these collab videos, they should be on a separate channel. Just to distinguish them from the rest of our own
work. Regardless, all contributors should post an announcement (text or short video) directing their subscribers to where the videos end up. That way,
we can introduce as many people as possible to all of our separate science channels and that way maximize chemistry awareness and interest.
NurdRage, thanks for offering your time to edit and put together the final video. I think this is a great idea, and will be a fun project!

By the way, more fire producing reactions:
manganese heptoxide + ethanol (or any organic)
alkali metals + water (sort of)

Hehe manganese heptoxide + ...most things . Check out mewrox99's video with a
potato chip, its awesome. Anyway maybe we should list everything were going to include here?
Also, thanks NurdRage for putting in the time for this. A exactly agree with MrHomeScientist on the whole dedicated channel thing.

Haha wow! That was amazing. I'm surprised he's got solid Mn2O7 lying around - I'd be scared to store that stuff.
That video reminded me of way back in high school chemistry when we saw a gummy bear erupt in flames in potassium perchlorate. Hey there's another
idea right there
