I'd love to, but it would take several years to download. What format is
it in? Could it be transferred to an MP3 or WMV or some other compressed
format? You'd likely get more viewers at 1/10th the size.
The video is .WMV. How it's compressed, how much and weather it's further
compressable, I don't know. I did do some compression of stills in .jpeg -
amazing how you can shrink the stuff. But WMV's probably different. I've had
the camera for a week (it's lousy quality, but /I/ made it) - so I know next
to nothing about what it involves. I'll delve into the shrinking once I've
made something really deasent. It has high definition video capacity, so
I'll probably try to keep high picture quality and burn dvd's instead -
throwing mp3's round on the net, here from my pc, is a tempting alternative
though (roelmeister probably have a good idea). I do look forward to
visualize geology .. I'm sure that I've got the right eye for that sort of
detail.
MP3 is an audio format MPEG is the video.
MP3 videos, and MP3 players in the states now play videos.
Maybe Mr. Taylor's advice in correcting my terminology error can help
Carsten distribute his videos.
Even further off topic, but I still haven't gotten my MP3 player to work
in two weeks. Haven't a clue what the best deal for single MP3 audio
downloads is off the Net, either. All I've found either require
subscriptions, or the files self-destruct. This is Win based player... I
can convert my CDs, but still looking for a good netsource analog to the
old 45 single.
With the most basic of a sound card, good working stereo equipment,
clear radio signal and CD/DVD burning software, it is possible to make
them yourself.
One cable out from the stereo, to the computer's sound card and Lp's,
cassette, radio can be captured. It does take a bit to get everything
fine tuned for the best quality, but once it is done it need not be
done again. Also the CD/DVD burning software, usually bundled with the
burner, can clean up any noise from LP's, or tapes, then use the CD/DVD
burning software to convert the WAV files to MP3. CD/DVD burning
software as old as 6 years has had this capability and while not the
best, it gives very acceptable quality. There are a zillion free tools
on the Internet as well. The real nice thing about converting
everything to MP3, is the near CD quality but 10 times smaller
Maybe the best part, no more worrying when the favorite tape will be
breakfast for the tape player.
As for Internet sources, if you have not found zillions, you are not
looking very hard.
