Thanks Gordon. Some great closeups. Presumably you were using a "proper" video camera?
All the best for your hospital visit.
Thanks Eric, yes a "proper" video camera ! However I can't remember what camera I used on that particular day.? I have just got back from hospital and awaiting results.

]]>You mean they fake memorabilia? I should have asked Brian Hawley that question. I'm sure he would have said that he can tell a fake from the real thing because of years of experience.
In this day and age with all the technical equipment that is available to anyone, it is possible to copy just about "anything" that can fool people ! especially when buying on line !!!!!

Gordon - I've been thinking about your Osmos pocket problem. Are you recording with HEVC (H265)? If so are you able to change recordings to AVC(H264)? That might solve your MVPX6 problem.
Apologies if this has already been mentioned.
Unfortunately it only records in HEVC, and the only major change that you can do is from 4k to 1080p.
]]>Apologies if this has already been mentioned.
]]>AND HOW THEY EARNED IT
They did not EARN it! They acquired it by a large slice of luck, and exploiting the rest of us, legally (perhaps) but undoubtedly unethically.
]]>Gordon - no, I've never had that amount of cash plus I'm not comfortable on water especially in my senior years.
As for YouTube I assume nowadays worldwide it's possibly streaming millions of videos at any moment. Some will be 4K and maybe its stretching their servers capabilities so they cut back on quality. But on changing from Auto 360 to 1080 I've never had any problems. My download speed is around 500Mbps.
Edit: I had problems with Vimeo last night but have now been able to upload there https://vimeo.com/1231119120 No problems with getting 1080 streamed down.
Of general interest getting back to the yachts and the one with the NZ$5.5 million price. That is Wave Rider which appears a few scenes earlier. Home port Avatiu which is in Rarotonga, the largest of the Cook Islands in the Southern Pacific. It doesn't look a large vessel so I wonder what equipment it has inside to warrant its price.
Eric, I think that you are right regarding stretching their servers capabilities ! I clicked on it and it was 720, although if I click on YouTube these days most come back as 360 !! unfortunately if I click it up to 1080 they are mostly jumpy ! As for the price of the yachts a mere 5.5 million is nothing really from this old hippie !!! It does make you wonder how much money some of these people have AND HOW THEY EARNED IT !

]]>Something different. A short video on a local marina https://youtu.be/sjC4hWziaiQ
It's a 1080 video so check YouTube is giving you that as it keeps trying to give me 360!
Eric I take it that one of the boats for sale wasn't one of yours ? It's amazing just how much money people spend on their yachts and yet they are just parked up for ages ! We have the same in the next town "Garrucha" just down the road to us in Spain that was basically a fishing port when we first came in the early 70s, but now is overflowing with these millionaire's toys. I used to have a small boat that Sue and I used for water skiing many moons ago that we enjoyed, however old age started to creep in and I sold it. Yes YouTube seems to always give you 360 automatically these days and I wonder if people have any idea ? The trouble is that the internet that we have in Spain at our place is slow and if I increase most videos to HD they are very "jumpy" but I suppose that a good majority of people view on their phones ? and if they are on a decent laptop or TV they assume it's been made with a cheapo phone or camera.
