@dlowan,
Yep, no worries. When you take the card out of the camera can you pop it straight into your computer. I'd advise saving/copying it straight onto your hard disk into "my video" folder if you wish to keep the videos (oh, I don't know if you are using a MAC - I don't know anything about MACs, I was assuming windows).
If you go into "my computer" and click on the folder, take a note what the file is saved as. i.e. .MOV, .AVI, .WMV
If it's a .MOV or .WMV (I think it's wmv) then you can upload direct from the card onto photobucket. Let me know when you wanna try and I can go through it with you if that's any help.
Do hope that Thursday will block the pain. Horrible neck pain. In the meantine, do try and rest up as best you can.
