The best laid plans...
I had the intention of getting my video together for my little Blog-A-Turkey "thing" while I was actually barbecuing and then after dinner sometime. Well, that didn't happen. Somehow, the time wasn't there (let's just say that things got a little out of hand and the party didn't end until almost 11pm - way longer than Carol & I wanted).
Oh, the turkey really turned out good this year - juicy as always but everyone was raving about the taste... and I didn't do anything different!!!
I'm having problems with the MJPEG codecs in Adobe Premiere, so it wouldn't decode the AVI files that my Canon S230 PowerShot produced. I decided to try Windows Movie Maker that comes with XP. For a cheapo product, I was really pleased with how easy it worked.
I was disappointed with two things, however - The first is audio. The Canon camera records the audio and a weird-ass frequency rate that's not standard at all. Movie Maker doesn't handle the conversion well, and I sound like I have a lisp!
Secondly, file size. The project was rendered into a 36Mb file for 12:27 running time, at 320x240. When I added titles to some scenes, the file size jumped to over 51Mb!
Oh, I guess there's a third complaint - it's rendered in Windows Media Video format - WMV.
I need to fix Adobe Premiere.
So, here it is - the final video of Blog-A-Turkey 2003!
