Could be your phone is recording video in a file format that your pc doesn't recognize.

Thanks, I'll try that as I'd like to copy it to my PC. That said, I think I have it done via my phone (I haven't yet clicked the link above). Thing is, I used to be able to see all my pictures on my phone, via PC. I don't do too many videos so I can't speak to those.

Not sure if I did it correctly..... but to cut to the chase, we finally had some BOOM today!

Fired cannon three times. Though it went off three times, the first one was a quasi dud since I didn't have the wadding in there tight enough. It was more like a giant sparkler.

This (if I'm doing this correctly) is the third attempt with the tightest wad of the three attempts AND the least powder (2 oz instead of 3 oz)

Yeah!!!! That's what this entire thread was about! 👍

👍. Put some sand in the wadded up cloth to smooth the bore!
