Zambezi video montage

Very good buddy, but way to short, i was just getting settled into it, when it finished. look forward to more.;)
 
Yup, same as Mark and Dave mate - just got really interested and ..... gone. Is that your Defender Marc? I thought yours was white? And was that a Series IIb FC? Weedy would be jealous!

Roger.
 
Great, but too short - any more clips?

I have hours of footage, but not enough time to edit it :( Also, the short video I uploaded took about 20 minutes to upload.

Let me see if i can bang together some more footage into something that looks a bit like order...

Roger, my 200Tdi was white, and the Td5 was green. They're both gone now, and replaced by the Kalahari Tdi which is white.

That is indeed a Series IIB FC, 1974 model with straight 6 petrol engine. :)
 
Marc,

if you make a "big" one and remember to give it to me at one of our next pub meets, I'll use one of my 4Mb links to upload it when traffic is quiet.

Thanks Bvud,

Youtube only allows 10 minutes running time, and 100MB whichever is the smaller. That means that you have to compress your mpeg quite a lot to keep 10 minutes under 100MB. My little video was 45MB, and the quality of the compression was lousy.

I've started editing another one, which will be longer, but it'll take a while. My Windows laptop can't handle the editing software because of the speed and memory requirements, so I can't do it at night while I'm in Mozambique.

Marc,

I think you need to look at what editing software is out there. Most 90 minute movies compress into around 750MB.

Unfortunately this is something I know nothing about.

Yes, but in poor quality, and in small format only. To get half decent video, you need a minimum of 2GB to 4GB for 90 minutes.

I use Final Cut Pro on the Mac, and Pinacle Studio Pro on the PC. Botha are professional programs that are an industry standard (particularly FC Pro), and they both do just about anything that Hollywood can do. I can shoot, edit, and produce a video at broadcast quality. (the software does HD, but my camera doesn't). A heck of a lot of the Discovery Channel stuff is shot and edited with very similar equipment to my setup.

Both software packages can compress a 90 minute movie to CDV quality, but the quality drops. I think what they actually do is keep individual frame resolution high, but they track differences between succesive frames, and store only the differences. They also save a lot of space by dropping the audio quality radically. To most viewers it wouldn't be noticeable, but it would be useless for broadcast because it wouldn't meet minimum standards.
