Notes on the
Video
This video was shot using my FLIP Video Camera
which records in the "mp4" format and the original
file was a huge 155Mb in size
This is actually 'normal', and I then use video converter software
to change it to the "flv" format which also dramatically
reduces the file size, in this case down to around 6Mb
However, this was shot in the pool with lots of movement and
water splashing and I found that at the default setting, the
converted video was showing lots of pixel breakup which really
spoilt the result
I increased both the 'frames per second' and 'bit rate' to their
maximum settings and this overcame the problem
But, due to this change, the file size increased and finished
at 23.7Mb ...... had to be done to achieve the perfect video
It is going to take a while to download and play ... and it will
stop-and-start as it is doing so ... so here is a suggestion
..
click the PLAY
button in the controls below
then go make a coffee and sit on the patio for a few minutes
when you are finished, click on the PLAY button
again and it will play perfectly
Running for 2 minutes 5 seconds,
it is great to watch
