Short videos of Mather Lake
I took some 15 second Quicktime movies w/o audio while out at the lake, using my old Olympus. The camera is set up to point and shoot Quicktime .mov files at 320 x 240 and 160 x 120. The later is nearly useless for viewing. The 320x240 .mov files average 4MB in size. Unfortunately, most people don't use Quicktime, so I exported .avi movie files from each .mov file for folks using Windows Media Player.
The .avi files, as exported, average 25 MB in size. I'm getting the hang of this so I hope to cut the .avi file size in half while retaining the image quality.
I'll be using the new Canon to make short clips, with audio, and at 640x480 res once I get a few larger SD cards, probably 1GB, which will be great when spring arrives. The sounds out there in the morning before the shooting range gets under way really help to get the sense remotely of how life is teaming around the lake.
Here's what I came up with using the the 'ole Olympus:

051.avi 25.7 MB
