TW's pics - are now video!!!!

[MountainMan]

TW - thanks for the pictures.

Chris - your computer abilities still continue to amaze.  The time spent had to be huge.
Thanks for your expertise.

Know what Dave (and thank you) - as much as anything, it is the excellent company I enjoy that motivates me to do this stuff.  Plus I do have the luxury of quite a bit of time - something not all folks have when hugely busy all day.

If I pop off tomorrow at least I have left something of a legacy! LOL!

Bill - re the 25Mb file.

Well I have decided to process the .avi and generate a big 25Mb (in fact nearer 26Mb depending how you count your bytes!!).  

This one comes out at 384x288 and so it necessarily expands the images a bit.  Not really sure whether any great advantage, compared with the 8Mb version and player expanded a bit.  You'll have to do a compare and decide for yourself.

Anyways - it is uploading as I write (12.20am EST Saturday 24th) and upload to this server seems a tad slow tonight.  Once there and I expect by time you catch this it will be there - (anyone else allow some time buffer to let this biggie get on server!) - go grab it and you can see.

If I could upload the 1.4Gb AVI then you could have the original LOL!

Gotta say - at 3.5 Mb or so per second, AVI sure is thirsty for disk space!

Darn it!  Forgot to post a link!

The (25Mb) Version of Eric Stills Video

[LeonB570]

Merry Christmas everybody!!

Is there a downloadable file somewhere of TW's video pictures as a sequence of printed pictures in jpeg or something similar, with the comentary printed by each picture.  Maybe there is some way to make the video print out the sequence of pictures to hard copy.  I am just not familiar that much with video.  Anyway, the printed commentary would be missing.

I would like to make a notebook of the sequence of pictures and the oral discussion for benchtop reference, if that is at all possible.  I don't have speakers on my computer -- I hate for machines to nag me!  So I can just watch the pictures move by.  They are excellent and pretty understandable without the verbal commentary -- but annotated pictures would really be neat!

I sure appreciate all your work in getting these pictures available to us.

Best Wishes for a Happy New Year,
Leon

Chris:

As my pain meds permit, I'm still catching up on my reading of the Forum's postings during the past week and just reviewed your latest videos.  They are superb!  Thanks to TW and Eric for making the photographs available and to you for your extraordinary work and skill in converting them into video format.

Also, Merry Christmas to you up there in the "frozen northland" of Pennsylvania from us down here in the "balmy climes" of East Tennessee.

Chris,

Here is an error message when accessing the file.

The requested URL /vid-download/r9-eric-pics-02-25mb.wmv was not found on this server.

I'll keep trying the link later.

Thank you for making the large file available.  I want to get every bit of "goodness" possible.

It's a mighty fine Christmas present for all the forum members and visitors.

Bill

Thanks Eric, TW, and of course Chris. I was confused a little with Eric's hands and Chris's voice!!

Bill - Hmmmm - well checked to make sure upload had completed and file is there on server but yeah - went to download myself and it ain't comin' thru!  Grrrr!

I'll check it out and see what's wrong - can't find any syntax error either in URL.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Correction Bill, just checked - I was doing that so late I overlooked the file name being slightly different from my link - have amended filename on server so should work now!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leon - you raise a valid point re a stills sequence.  What I might do then when time permits - is, still using small pics - add space uner each one and add text onto that - so there would be then a set of IIRC about 50 pics.  If these then compressed and bundled into a ZIP file - would that do?  They can then be seen in sequence by filename or some pic numbering

[Michigunner]

Thanks, Chris.  Much appreciated.

[LeonB570]

A zip file which unzips to a folder full of jpeg or tif pictures would work beautifully to produce an annotated photo gallery hard copy of TW's pictures.  Photoshop has a nice utility that does just that for a folder full of raster graphics files.  I would be happy to run it and make the gallery available to the forum viewers in a single file in PDF format.

Best Wishes,
Leon

[R9SCarry]

Leon - now there's a thought - a PDF!  I had thought of PowerPoint at one stage but not all folks have it.

If I put this together in my DTP and convert to PDF then we'll be there in one hit.  Good thinking.

Let me work on that when I can - and if it works out then I'll place the file for folks to download.  I will probably use the small pics again as they are all tweaked and ready to go - I think they'll be big enough.

>>Man-O-Man...

I sure had the EASY work just taking the pics and sending them to Chris...!  Sometimes it pays to be stupid.  Chris, on the other hand...with all of his skills will be working with these pics the rest of his life...!!  Thanks, Santa...!...TW<<

[R9SCarry]

BTW folks - had a call from Eric a bit earlier on - he had happened to drop by and read a few things and - had seen the video!!!!  Fortunately - he liked it!!!! (Phew!)

We had a good chat and I am getting itchy waiting on some feedback on numerous things once the Shot Show is over - I think there will be several things of great interest (I know so!).

May I tho from Eric - pass on his sincere best wishes to us all here for the holidays, he did want me to do that.  We of course return said greetings.

[R9SCarry]

Sorry - me again!

Leon - anyone else - I have beavered to get a PDF made - new thread started for that.

Happy Xmas again to all.

>>Chris...

Great job with the PDF file...!  Between that, your original video, and the vid you did narrating my pics - there is absolutely NO excuse for anyone to be confused with maintaining the R9...!!  I would like to nominate you for an Academy Award-type thing.  Any seconds to that...?

One thing though...although I was able to open and read the PDF...I had some sort of problem with the download to my computer.  Actually, the download went of - but when I went to open it from there I got some sort of error message saying "file does not begin with '%PDF-'"  I have no idea what that means...that saying I should...or shouldNOT begin said file with that thing...?  You can see why I struggled so long just saving the pics on something I could send to you - eh...?  I admit it...I am computer challenged.  Again though - thanks...!...TW<<
