Octo movies

[schmunkel98]

The first octo movie I took tonight can be seen by clicking on this link: http://www.schmunkel.0catch.com/salt/octo1.avi

I have another 12 second one of him trying to catch a molly, but I can't figure out a good compression tool to use. I have several to choose from in my quickcam video editor software, but most have made the video look horrible. Any suggestions? I've seen Colin's videos and they look great for their size. This one is 320 by 240, and I would hate to have to go smaller. My web site changed it's file upload limit to 1 meg files, so I can't even host the larger movies there now(which was the point of my site). Any ideas besides finding another site?

if you want good compression go for divx. Im not sure if divx is available on mac, but definitly on PC. Divx is great quality and so so small. Of course not many people can view divx movies without downloading software (only 800k) from divx.com. Check out divx.com they might have the right software to allow your quickcam program to compress into divx

movie works great for me. very cool octopus. is that moving blob above him just a lot of hair algae?

Try this one for now. I have to do an html link on my site now instead of a direct file linkup.

Rudiger,

Yeah, I had all sorts of algae grow since I ditched the snails. I have 7 huge turbo snails in there now to cut it down to size. I'm glad the file link worked for you.

would reducing your light remove the algae or can that hair algae grow in low light?

I threw Colin my octopus movie where it goes for the molly. It's pretty funny, and hopefully it will make it to www.tonmo.com soon. In the meantime I'm going to fool around more with compressing the movies and finding a way to host them on my site as well.
