Nice video.
You mentioned it was 1 frame per second.
Did you take all the shots and make the video play at 15 or 30 frames per second?

I had my video camera mounted at the back of the shop.
I recorded from before we started until the doors closed at the very end.
Now I a 68gb video to edit and fit on Youtube. It recorded at 30fps.

If I take 1fps, that's 3600 frames per hour.
Playing those 3600 frames at 30fps, then 1hour = 2mins
I have over 12hours, so that will never fit on youtube, and besides, who wants to see a 24mins video.
Not sure how I'm going to make this work.

Fast,

My camera has a time-lapse mode for taking video at 1 FPS and 1 frame every 2 seconds. The .AVI file that it produces plays back at 15 FPS at 640x480 pixels.

The only post-processing I did was to trim the total playing time to 5 minutes, resize to 488x366, and finally convert from .AVI to .FLV (Flash) format. The 5 minutes (and 100 MB) is a PhotoBucket limitation for free membership; they automatically reduce any uploaded video to 488x366 in size and convert it to a Flash file. I ended up with a 41 MB .FLV file. I found out if you do the conversion yourself, you get slightly better video quality when it plays back from their server.

Jedi's coil install only took several hours, including the pizza break, so I cut out some of the dead scenes to get it near the 5 minutes duration. Still, PhotoBucket truncated the last 20 seconds or so of the footage --- that was when Flashwing and Jedi where jacking down the car. Stupid PhotoBucket!

Don't know what you're gonna do with all that footage, that was a long day, LOL. You could try editing out dead scenes or using 1 frame every 2 or 3 seconds.

Thanks for the info.
You might want to consider uploading to Youtube.
Youtube limits files to 10mins and 100mb.
Also, I have not tried uploading to Megavideo, but when you go to upload a file, it says
"Max file size: 5 GB. No copyrighted material!"
I have a free account. 5gb is crazy big.

Did ANYONE get a pic of "the guy" who we had a nice little chat with? (regarding a parking spot)

I'm thinking a seperate thread is in order, no one SPOIL what it's about, just wondering if there's pics / video of the incident.
