How are you making your video .What format are yu using to be able to upload in media?

I can convert my movies to Flash movies but not every one has flash or is afrade to down load it.

[rolf]

Mine come out of the camera as AVI, but i convert them to WMV using SC Video converter, the files are only a third of the size then.

It also converts AVI,MPEG,MPG,ASF,WMV to any of those options.

[Chocky]

OK it is down loading. Just need my son to send the code now

[Chocky]

OK. I have the Svideo converter.
Now I'll have to work it out.
I have an Mpeg 4 coedc it suautomaticaly converts digitsal video to AVi
I have all of Arcsoft software ann video impressions 2 that will convert mov files. So wil have to play arrond with them. Moviemaker can make a large avi file very small with high quality or Pal for DVD etcinfact Moviemaker has a vast amount of settings. I set it on high quality video small that will compress/convert a 58 mgb down to about 1.80mgb.
So it's lpay time with videoclips

Sounds like you are going to have fun Chocky.

I haven't done much with video so far, but may try and do a bit more.

[Chocky]

I make my own DVDs. Make films , take ut the back ground add som classical music (older than 20 years)
I did cracking slide show with transitions . I't's different pigeons on every slid but.They fit with the song and there is one photo slide with a squirrel eating a peanut on a post wth a pigeon looking at him. The music I have put in the back groun is called lol "poisoning Pigeons in the Park" By Tom Lehrer. Had every one in stitches. But you see that is my sencse of humour.
Have you ever heard Tom Lehrer? some of his songs are funny.

[rolf]

Doesn't ring a bell Chocky, will keep an eye out for his stuff.

[Chocky]

Well. He's about 98 years old if still alive. But if you can try and listen to his 'Poisening Pigeons in the Park' because it really is funny
Actually you can hear it on this site.

I love Tom Lehrer - and I love 'Poisoning Pigeons...'. I was introduced to him (not personally!) when I was in college. One of the great side benefits of going to college - you get to meet all sort sand get introduced to lots of stuff you may never have come across before.

[Chocky]

Yep. You would probably at college with all his college songs.
I like high hi speed 'The Elemnts'

[Chocky]

What camera do you use for your video clips Rolf?
I am using a camcorder. I use to use a Conika z6. The camcorder is avi .I thnk the conika is too.
My goodmans digital video is ( a bit rubishy) Mpeg4 but I have a decoder and it converts it to AVI

[rolf]

It's my little Fuji S5000, just using it on the video setting rather than as a normal camera.

[Chocky]

Oh . I wondered if it was. I think my videos were much better on my Conika it's a point and shoot but doesn't take raw , not that I would need raw I don't do weddingabn such. Mind you I'm now being approached for dog photography .
So far I have done 3 shoot. lol. Ha ha I di da load last nigh would you believe?
Muts

[rolf]

That's good, you can come back to shoot pets again if the photos aren't perfect, I wouldn't want to touch wedding photography, as if they don't work out the moment has passed.

[Chocky]

Me neither. I think well I don't want to know the bloak next door was Exmouths Top wedding photographer and he's flipping old womsan and I had to be rude last week (not my normal nature) He steps over the wall and walks accross the lawn an collars me befor I get to the front door (grrr) to talk a lot of twaddle. I have been walking for 4 hors or mare and I just want to get in. He hasn't a clue about digital phot' and hes some where near 80 and ifthere isn't any thing intelegent about wedding(not iany more) lol
But getting back to dogs. I lprefer wild life. Thing is, practically every one in Exmouth knows me, I can't hide . But this one is going to pay for hers. One chap Gives me wild seed from his pet shop and one chap was a little old man of about 90 and he's such a sweety. I'll put Dylon up in the art thread I think. Carl was so pleased with his electic shot of Dylon. he give me wild bird seed for my walks.
