Test of HD video

[LOC Derby]

We are working on getting videos in three levels of resolution on the web. I have disabled the response on the site, so if you could respond here with problems that would be appreciated. When you get to the page you will notice three buttons for the quality. When you click the quality some very small numbers will start moving and you have to wait until it gets to 100%. Choosing the quality depends on your connection. If you have dial-up, ONLY choose the smallest version. Also you must have the latest version of Adobe flash installed. For those that have high speed, please try and do the HD version. It may take about 5-10 min for the hd version to load. Please respond with which resolution you can watch and any problems. Thanks! (This video is only a couple of minutes long, it was taken from a 15 minute version.)

OK ladies and gentlemen, it appears that the quality may be set too high. With my computer and others I have spoken to, rendering times between the versions does not seem to be too different, all of them seem to take too long. It can take up to 15 minutes to view so I think we have to go back and try and downconvert to a different format. We still want a large size so that when we show "how to rig a dipsey" where the detail is needed, it still can be seen. Also there is a feature that lets you download a copy on the lower left of the page. If anyone has done that could you please respond to see if that option works and what viewer you used to view it.

Thanks

Dave -

Took me a little over 17 minutes to buffer the full video (medium size) for playback. Like you said, might be a little too big for internet users. I am on a T1 connection here at work so it is typically pretty fast.

The video itself is amazing with respect to quality (both video & audio). Very impressive!

HI Dave,

Video looked good on all 3 scales. Only problems were on HD scale the video was too big for the screen. Since it is only a couple minutes long portion you can watch, start at 30-40% download hit play instead of waiting for full 15 minute download. Only difference i noticed was the size of the screen it played on for the 3 quality options. NICE STUFF!!!

PS Seafood mon nite 16th let me know.

Jerry,

What size screen did you view it on and was it square vs widescreen? I don't have a square screen to view it on, so I guess I also need to take that into account. I think the "medium" size has fit on all types so I will concentrate on getting those file sizes smaller. I don't think I can stay with the 264 codec so I may have to rerender the clip and transcode it differently. I'll try to get it done today but it took almost 6 hours to render and post that short clip in HD. Hopefully this will take less time. If anyone has a high def set up, I can get a disc or two burned of the whole piece and we can circulate them around. I gave one to Gustin but I doubt I will be getting it back anytime soon. FYI A PS3 player works great with a HD TV and has the ability to read almost any BluRay disc.

PS Mon sounds great but is carp a "seafood"?

That's a good lookin Bayliner in the beginning of that video! I'm loading the small version, and it isn't too bad. Definitely not fast! Regardless its an awesome thing to watch this time of year.

Dave,

Its a nice video and i assume everyone will complain about the download speed.

Rick,

I figured you wouldnt miss that.

[Yankee Troller]

Dave,

how long is it supposed to be? I only saw about an 1/8 of the video. Then it went blank.

[Billy V]

I had the same thing happen as Rick did...loaded a bit of the video then it went blank. What I did see looked pretty cool though!

[Time Out]

Whole thing loaded, but ended at Mikes dancing? Im not sure if thats what you call it. Can't wait to see the whole thing.

Rick-Billy,

It is only a short 2-3 minute PARTIAL of the 15 min video. He faded it out on purpose just to see how the first run goes.

Dave,

I have a 19" square screen and yes the medium size will work all screens best.

AGAIN you do not have to down load full 15-17 minutes just hit play at about 30-40% loaded.

Dave as far as using the 264 codec transcoder, I would concentrate on upgrading to the Z-WAVE redigerator valve version. See hank for replacement redigerator valve gasket kits. If not musky can sit on some rubber bands.

THAT'S FOR THE CARP COMMENT!!!

The video quality is awesome. What kind of camera was used?

[LOC Derby]

The camera used was a Canon XH A1 and wide angle lens. I have edited a 8 minute version of this and am putting it on Utube. Should be available tonight or tomorrow, it's already been uploading for over 3 hours! I will post a link as soon as it's active.
