TTLV - Tim's Time Lapse Video(s)

damn both...

 

that would have been funny except that I was with my daughter's class field trip!

nice monkeys, thanks for sharing.

 

hmm...maybe next time get letters of consent from the parents lol

 

LOL Did you take any pics of the buffalo? Haha... Funny you thought of me on your trip to the Zoo.

 

that would not go over too well regardless being a Baptist church

yes! they're still on the camera though yeah I thought of you

 

You know I want those pics.... And I bet you told all the little kids that you have a friend that is a buffalo, didn't you?

 

actually I got into it with another mom...the Bison vs. "American Buffalo", I clearly one that battle

 

really now...something you want to tell us?

 

uhhhhh, I meant A MOM

 

woo-hoo, a new video!! (sorry stax, still no monkeys)

timelapse video of us taking off in an airplane....tough to film for sure hand holding the camera for 20mins! http://www.clipmoon.com/videos/500582/pilot-to-co-pilot.html

and or the story of it: http://timsdd-timelapse.blogspot.com/2008/04/pilot-to-co-pilot-timelapse-video-of.html

 

Seweet stuff, Tim-may. And I am talking about the vid, not you. Really.

Don't hold the camera! You need a TP like the one I have...




That sweet little baby goes anywhere and wraps around anything so you can take pics from any angle... It wouldn't work for your big camera, but you do the TLVs on a little one, don't you?

 

that is wicked! yeah, I use the small one for the tlv's that thing would be perfect!!

 

Check your local RadioShack.

 

shack, shack, shack. no kidding, good thing you told me I would have checked that last

 

gah...i wanna see the airplane one...i'm gonna forget to look when I get home ...maybe I should PM myself

 

so even if it were monkeys you would be able to see it!

yes, pm yourself

 

i wouldn't forget to watch the monkey one when i got home though...

Tim, this is an awesome video:

However, while the service you used may rock, their bandwidth is harsh. My suggestion is to download flv-recorder, and capture the video yourself once encoded, then upload to Youtube, use their bandwidth. Much better user experience.

Mmmm... brownies...

oy! a trade off...darn & it

so by harsh you mean it had to buffer 17 times throughout the video? anyone else have the same problem??

you know, I have tried the FLV approach...nothing I seemed to do made YT less chunky...no matter what I threw down @ YT, different file formats, resolution size, video codecs...they all sucked the ballz

thanks for the suggestion though, I'll keep looking if CM is bogi (plural of bogus)

 

Wow, you're right... much worse that I expected:

I was thinking that with it already being an flv, there would be nothing to convert... hmmm...

Do you have your own hosting anywhere that could support the bandwidth? Or does Blogger allow you to upload your own files? It does, doesn't it? Could you host the video file yourself, using a CC player maybe?

Edit: Ok, I know both why it is looking so nice, and why it's taking so long where it is hosted... it's barely compressing it, and looks like you wind up with an 18MB flv file. That's going to be slow loading regardless of where you host it. Hm.

Edit #2: This explains why the time lapse videos do worse, btw:

With time lapse, every frame is a cut.

Edit #3: Ok, just because I always allow myself to get distracted when I shouldn't, I started playing with it. I re-encoded the flv file, cut it to 240x180, a framerate of 12, a bitrate of 360, an audio bitrate of 16, and an audio sampling rate of 11025 Hz. The resulting file was 4,568KB, and I uploaded that video to YT. How's this look?
