Video Technology (second EME 5053 post)

hmmmm. Okay, after getting frustrated with the video for my other class, I decided to dive into it and chop it up and re-arrange a few pieces and bits. Needless to say, I am happier with the outcome…works better. But here is an annoying bit: why the hell, in this day and age, can we not get good high quality videos from sites. I use some clips, but first, they are flash videos, and the converter program I have, does a decent job…but not amazing. But why are all flash videos 320×240?!! What the hell is wrong with people? You cannot do a decent video screen size with videos of that resolution!

While working on my project I came across some commercials, and since we were told we could use copyrighted materials for the school project, I went with one of these commercials. The second is included here for your enjoyment:

“Did you say your mum made your lunch?” I love it!
Okay…did anyone watch UCF lose to BC? GRRRRR..and then the Red Sox blow it while the Devil Rays seem to be unstoppable….blah

Oh yea…technology…today I had a major brain fart as I tried to get the digital video camera to be read by the computer…all attempts unsuccessful. Gary had asked how I did it before as I stared blankly at the camera. About an hour later, I tilted the camera the other way to move it off a paper on my desk, and duh, there was the firewire port! Man, I couldn’t believe how I couldn’t find it…wacky!
