And no, I don’t know what the original subject was. I have some that permit a 
good guess as to the original, but not so much this one.

Re: Getting video to the web

[Larry Colen]

Thanks Igor,

I’ll look into that.  

I ended up setting up the K-1 on the bigma, it’s night to be able to instantly 
get a wider field of view.

I just used quicktime to string together a bunch of clips of feeding from 
yesterday

Re: Getting video to the web

[Igor PDML-StR]

Larry,
Those are very nice and interesting videos!


I've been uploading videos made with both K-5s and most recently K-1  to 
Youtube. Here are a few thoughts and hints based on my experience.


I don't know what format K-3 is using. K-5 and K-7 were using video format that 
is not well compressed, "Motion JPEG". And the file container was .avi .
To speed up the upload and to conserve my monthly bandwidth allowance, - I was 
recoding it to MP4. To give you an example of just one file (~3 min): 882 MB -> 
290 MB


K-1 is using a better codec (H.264) to compress the video, so the videos
are smaller to begin with. (And the container is .MOV)
Yet, I sometimes recode it as well.
E.g. 0:54 sec is 148 MB -> 28 MB (This video subject seems to be more 
compressible in general, hence a much smaller file per minute.)


(After a quick google search, I see that K-3 is using the same video
format (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 (MOV).)

To recode, I use a free tool called Avidemux. I am using it on Windows, but I 
believe it exists for macOS too.
It also allows cuting videos (and splicing them, - but no fancy effects. For 
those, you can try a free tool called VSDC, and Wings

Platinum 5, which has a free version ("Basic", IIRC).
Avidemux also allows replacing (or removing) audio tracks easily.

I use these command line options for Avidemux conversion (to optimize for 
Youtube):


avidemux_cli.exe --nogui --load VIDEO.mov --video-codec  x264
--audio-codec LavAAC  --output-format MP4  --save "VIDEO-upload.mp4" --quit

(I suspect --nogui is no longer needed.)

Sometimes, I recode manually, but sometimes I run a batch file.
Let me know if you want one as an example, and I will send it to you
directly.

HTH,

Igor

By coincidence, much of my genealogical research concerns the early
