Eastern Diamondback

Was coming in the driveway this afternoon from shopping, and as I’m pulling in, there right by my car (I’m in the Explorer), that has not been moved in at least 6 months - hence the tires going flat and cobwebs, is a small Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake. :D
So, I stopped the truck, jumped out to look at him (or her) and then remembered that I had my new small Canon PowerShot SD1100IS Camera
Now, the quality of video is not that great, not because of camera, but because this is my first video and I wasn’t sure how to compress it, if I should compress it, what type of file to save it as, etc. This is a learning process for me. Video went from over 400MB to less than 20MB with compression. So, quality has absolutely been sacrificed while I learn. But still, I was thrilled when I saw the snake.
My Mom kept wanting to hurry and get him out from under the car, I wanted her to stop, so that I could get video! :)
I’ve never embedded a video before, so here is to trying another something new.
Tell me how the video works for you, is compression too much, did you have trouble opening because of file type, or any other problems with it. Thanks!
