Sounds like you need to replace the tin can on your end of the piece of string Kenny! ;)

Oh if I could Dan I would.. worse part of living out in the middle of no where.

Kenny needs to move back to civilization and closer to his job. ;)

Relly enjoyed the video! Rico, you are getting a lot better at this. You are so natural in front of the camera now. It was so nice to see you back in your man cave. VERY COOL! I sure enjoyed everyone's videos. Thanks for the awesome entertainment!

Go apes.

Thanks Rick. I had a good time doing yesterdays show. I'd love to do more video. Maybe one day, when I have a bit more time and some new gear.

Thanks Kenny, glad you liked it. Nope - that montage was off of Youtube. I think I have it running on the main page in the Featured Video box. I liked it a lot too. If I had more time, I would have edited one. But only so many hours on a Sunday to do a show. ;)

Great vidcast, great to see everyone! :)

Terrific show and great to see some of our own! I'm looking forward to Super 8, I had sort of forgotten about that one due to the flood of comic book movies, which I am sort of ambivalent about. Was there an audio sync problem with Tim's video?

Dangelus · May 03, 2011, 06:34:45 AM

Lol it was like a foreign movie audio dub! ;)

Yes several of the listener videos (tim & rick) and a trailer or two were out of sync.. at least on my end. But it didn't take away anything from the show.

Yeah, same here. My original video is fine but for whatever reason the audio got desynced on Rico's end. But it didn't hurt the show for me.

Sorry about the sync issues. It has to do with converting video formats and I didn't have time to go back and try and fix it.

For future reference, files in .mp4 are best for me to use. I have the most issues with the whole Mac to Windows thing. So, if you can encode to an .mp4 or even .mpg that works best on my end.

P.S. Tim - can the Movie Maker thing on your iPad encode to formats other than .mov?

KingIsaacLinksr · May 03, 2011, 09:15:48 AM

Not from the iPad app no. You can export to sites like YouTube and such, but no specific format beyond .mov. They probably are expecting you to use the iMovie desktop or the PC-related apps that can convert mov.

There are other movie editing apps but I haven't looked into them yet so it's possible they export to .MP4

This is fairly typical of Apple made apps. They are great working apps, but have some limitations like that. I think I have a program that converts .MOV to something better if you want me to do that next time, I didn't even think about the format when I sent it off to you.

On an unrelated note, can we please streamline the video codecs already? It is really getting silly at this point.
