Video Podcast #2 – University, Apartment, Colchester

Huzzah! One of the advantages of having internet at home is that I could (more easily) upload the second in our bizarre and on-going serious of video podcast/slide show thingies. This has three major sections, featuring the University of Essex, in and around our new apartment, and Colchester. It has been (correctly) pointed out that I talk too much, so I think we may leave me out of the narration next time :-).

I wasn’t very happy with the compression last time, so I played with generating a higher quality file. The quality definitely is improved, but it takes longer to download and play as a consequence. I also had trouble uploading the larger file to YouTube, so I switched to Google Videos. Google’s software was much easier to use, and actually worked; YouTube, however, clearly has quite a lot more features (many useful) once you have the video uploaded. I also generated a 640×480 version that’s much nicer (if even bigger), but when I uploaded that Google clearly resized it on me because it still displays at 320×240. I might just put the larger one up on our web site and see how that goes.

  1. I’m very behind on leaving blog comments so I will be brief:
    1) Interesting to see the car in your parking space.
    2) I now know what “Tesco” on the food ‘tins’ means now.
    3) Spiders are creepy. Cut that out.
    4) “Cultural Icons for the 21st Century” LOL!
    5) We saw a Hummer in London and I had to wonder what sort of special breed of nutcase would drive one of those on such streets too.
    6) Glad to see pictures of your place and office!

    Hope all is well with everyone!
