[meteorite-list] SOHO video feedback

2006-03-12 Thread Kevin Forbes

Hi folks,

thanks for all the feedback re the SOHO video.

There were more failures than success. I guess it comes down to codecs.

What a bugger.

I used windows movie maker to glue the clips together, I could not stop it 
from changing the aspect ratio. It seemed the best at leaving the resolution 
alone.


Does anyone know of a good movie clip joiner that is free ??

I'll try again, as well as placing the original NASA SOHO files online.


Cheers, Kevin. VK3UKF.


ORIGINAL FILE COMPLAINTS

Hi Kevin,
It comes into Netscape as a text file.

It doen't work for me, I just get various strange letter characters. I usr 
Firefox though so that could be the


problem. When I use IE my Real Player loads and I see the sun but the movie 
only plays about 1/10 and quits.

Kevin,

I manually saved the .wmv file to my hard drive (9K file). Attempted to
manually play video, with no success.

Given my previous attempt, it may be that the file downloaded OK, it just
didn't play.

Dave


Hi Kevin,

It does not download for me (obvious, it doesn't play since it hasn't
downloaded).

Regards,

Dave



Hi Kevin,

download works fine, and it plays OK,
but it´s a bit too fast playing to recognize details.

And I didn´t figure out how to slowmotion it yet.

Greetings
Stefan




All I got was  a very long page of html-like jibberish code...like chinese 
writting.

Hello,

Downloaded the file fine.

Double-clicked onthe file, which launched WinAmp (version 5.2).
Showed the sun in blue. The slide moved to the right as if the movie was 
being played, the the image didn't change


until the very end when the image when very splotchy with large square 
blocks similar in texture to the sun, but


scattered randomly around the image.

Double-clikced the file again, and this time it seemed to run normally with 
spinning blue sun, spinning yellow sun,


spinning orange sun, and the the masked-out sun showing the coronasphere 
which showed a couple of puffs on the left


just before the end of the movie.

Every time I run it now it works fine. Only had a problem the first time I 
ran it.


Hope this helps.

I utterly LOATHE proprietary formats like Windows Media, Quicktime, and Real.
Stick with Divx or Xvid or similar products-- superior quality, superior
compression, superior and more extensive sets of free/cheap tools for working
with them.

Virtualdub. 

http://www.virtualdub.org/

Virtualdubmod (supports some formats that Virtualdub doesn't).

http://virtualdubmod.sourceforge.net/

TMPGEnc

http://www.tmpgenc.net/e_main.html

Then, once you have the file made, you can convert it to DVD format with this:

And not free but very reasonably priced, this is a easy to use but reasonably
powerful program for organizing and menu-ing your DVD formatted files:
