The information found in the lectures and text of chapter 3 for week 4 was actually rather entertaining and informational. I did find it rather ironic that I was having major issues with the streaming of video for a lecture that discusses how to properly record, compress, and then stream video! I can't find myself making fun of the professor group for this considering the laptop that any of there children have are probably more expensive and better technology than the PC that I could buy tomorrow! Instead I will assume my ram and connectivity were the issue. I did however just download the last 2 lectures so that I could play them smoothly, and possibly at a bit faster speed. This of course is not was I wanted to discuss for my rookie bloggin page. Instead I was interested in some more camera purchasing information.
My wife loves to take pictures and video and this of course is made more intense by having a "almost" 2 year old at home. (Notice I didn't say 21 months because I find that many people prefer if you just round to the nearest age. The whole 12 month math thing really starts to screw with people.) I purchases a flip video camera for my wife for Christmas and she didn't return it so I figure that is good news. I have however overheard her discussing in four letter words how parts will or will not work as desired. So I took my knowledge from this class and did some hunting for a tutorial video for her. I found a couple of useful videos that I have added to this blog and I also emailed them to her and sent them via Facebook. Adding video to something like this would never have occured to me before I simply would have sent a link instead of imbedding it in the actual message.
That video gives a good basic overview of the functions of her camera but I found that this additional video showed much more that was relevant to our Week 4 learning. Some very indepth discussion as to what kinds of formats should be used and which ones work the best.
I think that overall I have learned enough about video and images that I will be able to easily attach them to my blogs, emails, webpages, and presentations going forward. This has the makings of some incredible Blogging like a Sophomore work in the future.
