pikachu Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Now I'll be able to tape Maui & her daily show. I'll probably never be able to figure out how to post the videos though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inara Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 That is very exciting, pikachu! I figured out how to post videos, but it's getting them compressed so that they don't take a jillion years to upload that is what has me stymied. Would love to hear some input on what software others here use who are great at doing/posting the vids. Perhaps some kind would will give us a tutorial on how to compress and post? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRSeedBurners Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Do you really mean 'compressed' or 'edited'? YouTube will take care of compressing on it's own. They actually recommend MPEG4 at 640x360 (16:9) or 480x360 (4:3) aspect ratios. I have a GoPro but I never use it for the birds so I can't recall what ratios it supports. Once you have your video in hand, the best way to 'compress' it is to edit it. I use Windows Moviemaker because it's free and easy. The downside to Moviemaker is that it outputs an .avi file but YouTube supports upload of .avi so no biggie there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdhouse Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 No help here, I'm afraid. But I can't wait to watch Maui when you figure it all out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks birdhouse, I woke up this morning to "Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas!" and her shouting with glee, "Wheee!" while swinging on her triangle.

pikachu Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 So, do most people post their videos on youTube and then post a link on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRSeedBurners Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 That's the easiest way I've found to do it. Some people use photobucket but I find it annoying to even watch videos posted there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's certainly something you'd want to capture to enjoy over & over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
