Thanks Gordon. Some great closeups. Presumably you were using a "proper" video camera?
All the best for your hospital visit.
Thanks Paul. Very interesting.
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.
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.
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!

Took me a while to find it but the option is in View\Panes

Can you post one of your problem files to a cloud service such as Google Drive so we can download and have a play.
As for conversion being long winded that's going to be unavoidable given MVP's age. It obviously doesn't have the required codec.
I am sure it is a codec problem but what I don't want to do is sod up Movieplus on my Laptop ! I can see that you can use third party codecs but I have never tried to import them. If you could help me I would be grateful.
Handbrake and Shutter Encoder shouldn't affect your MoviePlus. I have both installed. I'm not so sure about K Lite. As a suggestion do a Windows System Restore Point, install K Lite and tell us how you get on. If you have problems use your System Restore Point to get back to how you were.

You should go on the stage mate ! with jokes like that you would go down like the Titanic !!!
It wasn't a joke! We, in the Southern Hemisphere, are moving into warmer weather whilst the Northern Hemisphere approaches winter. Knowing how bad English winters can be (I remember 1962/63) if I had property in Spain I'd be escaping. I'm assuming Spain's winters are mild.
Thanks Gordon. You've obviously arrived in Spain to escape the English winter.
I've just tidied up the audio on a three year old video "A Glimpse Of Nostalgia". I cannot recall whether I've posted it previously. Here's the YouTube link https://youtu.be/Mug1ROMeU4E.
With YouTube I have to upload as a new video but with Vimeo I can simply replace. Vimeo is here https://vimeo.com/845670430?fl=pl&fe=cm
Both are identical and should deliver my 1080 50p as 1080 but I find sometimes YouTube has to be nudged (using the settings icon) to deliver full quality. But watching 1080 I cannot really see any quality difference nowadays between the two sites.

Thanks Gordon. I prefer the ground walk video to the drone fly by. I've a recollection you may have shown this previously and I commented that Kent is where my parents are buried.
A short winter (for the Southern Hemisphere) movie, just 3.5 minutes https://youtu.be/tAZoY8qGBLY or https://vimeo.com/1222644545?fl=pl&fe=cm

Danzil - You've not told us what format your audio is.
If it's mp3 then it's unsuitable for precise editing due to the nature of its compression. It's not a MVP problem. Convert to wav and use that which should give you precise synchronisation after splitting a long clip.
Panorama PlusX4 was a bonus item on my PhotoPlus X4 disc. It had no separate serial number.
Jim wrote:Can anyone tell me where to find the code to install my Photo Plus X5? I have searched my discs, and there is no reference to it.
JIM TAYLOR
If you purchased a disc in a box then the serial number was probably (from memory) on the box.
EDIT: I'm wrong as I've just checked my box and it's not there other than my having written it on. I suspect it came in an email confirming my purchase.
EDIT2: Checking my records I find it was on the Invoice/Receipt that probably arrived with the physical disc.

Thanks Gordon. I don't recall previously viewing it but recall a similar one you posted. Do you know the name of the hotel? I tried looking for it online as I'm curious as to what the engineering problem was. Di they not go deep enough for sound foundations? Or has the hill behind slipped?
The French/Spanish fires frequently appear on the news here. They look horrendous.
Gordon - I assume you are staying in Kent until they burn out. With so many evacuated you may have problems keeping up with news on your property.
GStree wrote:As for the heat, with over 50 years of being in one of the hottest parts of Spain we can cope ! If any of you saw a few snippets on the TV regarding the fires in Southern Spain, you may (or may not) realize that this is in fact the area that Sue and I live in and have many friends that have got caught up in it. The last count that I saw was 26 dead and lots of others injured. Hopefully we will still have an undamaged property ?
Yes it was on our TV News with interviews with folk with UK accents so I watched closely to see if they were Sue and you but they weren't.
Albert Ross wrote:How is everybody coping with the extreme heat we are currently experiencing in the UK?
Anyway here are my efforts of the visit, it was just before the heatwave started in earnest https://youtu.be/L09ZOEvLNlE I do hope you enjoy it. Phew, it ain't 'arf 'ot Mum.
Thanks Albert. As for the heat, talking to my South London brother last night I realised one reason why you guys probably feel it more than us. Do you have a Heat Pump/Air conditioner at home? They are common here for winter warming and summer cooling. They are vital across the ditch in Australia. Here most commercial buildings and hotels have systems but I hear of visitors to London being surprised at how unpleasant some hotels can be without them.
GStree wrote:Well we are back in the UK for a while and we don't normally go back to Spain until September at the earliest. The garden is like a jungle at the moment ! Hopefully I might just get round to make a video or two.
It's probably cooler in the UK than Europe at present?
Thanks Gordon. At least the lady wasn't covered in tattoos.
Thanks Gordon. Oh to wind back the clock and be young with energy again.
You've used some well known commercial songs by recognisable artists. Did you get any Copyright strikes from YouTube?
Gordon, With Handbrake make sure that in the Filters window you have Deinterlace "Decomb" and Preset "Bob".
BOB is essential to get both interlaced fields used in your 50fps. Otherwise you get 25 duplicated frames. It took me awhile to discover this.
Decomb makes Handbrake only deinterlace frames that need it. So if you have a static shot with no movement between the fields it will not deinterlace.
