I dont think that there is. I think they have it set to take stills.

Do you want a live streaming video or do you want the browser to refresh every 60 seconds automatically? With the first, you're out of luck. The second, though, is possible by just creating your own little HTML page, with an image link and a meta refresh tag set to 60 seconds.

On my computer the webcam refreshes every minute or so on its own anyways.

This is what I did on my desktop, using active desktop (Win 2000 / Win98). I created a HTML page, similar to what Walt suggested, and made that a web item on my desktop. Now, I get a new picture of MF every 60 seconds as the background to my desktop automatically. It's a really nice way to keep tabs of things and it works well.
can someone take me step by step on how to do the html thing? it would be appreciated! hey pete thats a good idea to put it as the background!
Eww I hate active desktop. I've got a P3 550 and it even slows that down. I turned it on accidentally once, now I have recurring nightmares about my computer being stuck with active desktop.

just copy this into notepad or whatever you want and save it as mfcam.html or whatever you want to name it.
META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="60"
img src="http://www.cedarpoint.com/webcam/Camera1.jpg"
but make sure to put in the less than and greater than markers before and after each line (which i just realized i can't include in this message) :)

Wow, that's wierd. Jeff, is is because there's no markup allowed on these boards? I know a friend of mine who made ASP boards did about the same thing.....

You got it. Dave used HTML code to print the symbols, which doesn't actually generate HTML tags. Gotta keep people from posting porn, you know. ;)

Okay, okay, I'll explain how to do it. If you want to create the symbol ">" or "<" you need to use the HTML escape code, which is different from an HTML tag, and has routinely caused me trouble when trying to validate my web pages if I was talking about Raptor's manufacturer.
To get this symbol: <
Type: <
To get this symbol: >
Type: >
(Now I have to review the message and see if it worked as I expected...)

I'm only right now learning C++ and the importance of escape code hehe. Thanks for the useful info Dave! I learn something new every day.

Yeah, well, I started running into trouble with it when I started running my web pages through the W3C HTML Validator. Anyplace where I used the expression, "B&M" it complained until I changed it to "B&M". So it's useful to know. :)

Not to get off the "off" topic here, but....
I am noticing in the webcam, there is some long section thing shimmering in the sunlight. It looks as though it is a building of some sort. It looks to be located to the right of where the bunny hill is. Does anyone know what it is?????
