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.
