Hi Nate, That rock sculpture building with MC looks amazing. What is your compression methodology? Can you walk us through your compression path please?
On the talk with Jon I see you are using copyrighted Neil Young music to mess up the longevity due to copyright violation. Also didn't eleminate the top and bottom black bands - IE didn't CROP unnecessary bandwidth off top and bottom, thus making the posted file bigger than it needed to be. While the rock building at 640 x 360 will load on the Video iPod, the car talk @ 720 x 480 will not. Why didn't you crop it to the iPod max of 640 x 360 so it would? Was that before you knew about iPod compatible maximum dimensions? It's also too dark due to light from rear window fooling it to close down the iris more than would have been preferable. Is there no backlight switch or was there no way to manually open up the iris further or manually increase the gain? The above two great overall though. At 6MB a minute it's very a impressive compression scheme. But what happened with the racing piece? It is often times way out of focus and the compression looks way inferior. While you got it back to the Video iPod compatible 480 x 271, it is fairly funky looking compared to the other two. Is that because the HC-1 fails when it comes to action? Or is that a worse-higher compression scheme before you got better at it with the other two later? I see it's only 3MB a minute and a much smaller 480 x 271. How did you come to that dimension in the compression-crop step? Are you using Handbrake or what? Would you mind critiquing each of these videos and how you got them to the web condition from the HDV recordings? Thanks. Thanks for being an HDV HC-1 pioneer Nate. Your work is very important. I'm posting this on the HDV Yahoo list as well. -- Taylor Barcroft Santa Cruz CA, Beach of the Silicon Valley URL http://FutureMedia.org RSS http://feeds.feedburner.com/FutureMedia iTunes http://tinyurl.com/8ql87 barcroft (gizmo) kungax (Skype) kungag5 (iChat-AIM) On Mar 28, 2006, at 7:49 AM, nathan wrote: > Here's a few sample videoblogs shot with the HC1 (these are all > compressed and sized for the 'net): > http://blip.tv/file/get/Nathanialfreitas-PatagoniaRockSculpture557.mov > http://55broad.video.blip.tv:8000/Nathanialfreitas- > JonAndNateArtVsDRMAndCopyright762.mov > http://55broad.video.blip.tv:8000/Nathanialfreitas- > RPMRacingInSacramento945.mov > > Good luck, > Nahtan Yahoo!
