We heard back from our trusted tech-tester that the Peru video we tried to post earlier this week “doesn’t decode correctly” which means no one can see it. Oh well, we can only plead difficulties of connectivity and lack of familiarity with the tools. Our original video, hot off Final Cut Express, weighed in at 160 mb for 7 minutes of video. After some experimentation we found that encoding it as MP4 got it down to 15 mb, and it played fine in Quicktime Player in that format, so we uploaded it to the Berkman server in that format. However, it seems either the format is inadequate or the file got corrupted in the upload.
So we went back to the drawingboard and created a highly compressed .mov file, which we just uploaded to the dowbrigade.com server via some free web-based ftp site we are accessing from the cyber-cafe in Carhuaz. Unfortuately the quality is so poor (much worse than either the original 160 mb QT .mov OR the 15MB mp4 file) we almost didn’t post it at all. But it serves as a raw cut, a work in progress, and we promise to clean it up and repost when we are back in Watertown.
If it still doesn’t work, leave a comment or suggestion and we will try again.
Mike: The first video worked fine for us. This new one does not link to anything. Hi to Joey from us and happy holidays!
Worked fine here, too.
that is to say, the first video. Never tried the newer link.
Try compressing with quicktime pro.
Andy
Agree with Andy. Quicktime Pro would work a treat!
