Yet another motivational video up on YouTube. Went camping for a few days;
tried new things, learned a bunch. We were unable to beach the plane while
camping due to high water (no beaches). Fortunately, I had thrown a couple
hundred feet of line in with the anchor. Had no idea where we would end up
camping, but found a protected nook to tuck the airplane in.

We kept the plane floating the whole time with an anchor out front, stern
line running off one of the floats and two perpendicular lines running from
the forward vertical float struts to trees on the shore.

Worked out great.

Primitive camp site, no one else camping within miles of us. Bear country
but none stopped by during the night. Huge old growth trees, fun flying on
and off the water while we explored the lake. And a huge volcano towering
over us wherever we went.

Enjoy.

The Baker Camping video was a 40MB wmv file about 5 minute duration. That's
pretty small given the video length, but the resolution is only 640x480.

I've used both the built-in FlipVideo software to make movies as well as
MovieMaker which comes for free in some (all?) versions of Windows. Anything
free is fine with me. Baker Camping was edited using MovieMaker.

Both video programs don't give me any choice over compression codecs or
other useful more complicated stuff. I just shoot it, edit it, combine
segments and see what I get.

YouTube I think allows uploads of videos up to 1GB and 10 minutes for free
accounts.

For some reason, I sometimes generate a 5 minute video that is 400MB or
more. Not sure if it is because the scenes are complex and can't be
compressed. But when that happens, it takes looong time to upload.

YouTube processes all videos and recompresses them. They request the
highest, largest files that you can generate.

Thanks, I didn't realize they compressed them afterward. I always thought
how in the heck is anyone going to open a 40 meg file I upload.

It's a combination of them recompressing, streaming (so you don't have to
wait for the entire file to download), and they seem to get info from the
internet browswer that you use as to what quality of download each computer
can handle.

So it's not a precise science, more try and see. In the end, it may take you
a long time to upload your video, but no one will have a problem viewing the
video on YouTube.

More videos by everyone and not just flyers. Builders should post videos on
problems or solutions that they have. YouTube is FREE, I don't know why, but
take advantage of it. Words are great, pictures are too, but sometimes video
provides a great perspective.
