BY REQUEST -- FIRST REAL VIDEOS:

I am not overly happy about having to make videos to begin with.

I am certain that the Truth does not need a 'video', or a 'video face', but I discuss that in these videos.

I am also not too pleased with the results, video wise. These videos are shot in an original format of 1920 X 1080 60P with 256K audio, which is not seen on YouTube. However, they are archived in my computers as such.

Then, just to be able to upload them to YouTube, they have to be down-converted to 1280 X 720 30P with 384K audio beforehand. This is what you see and hear on YouTube at 'Full Screen', after the video shifts gears (which takes a few seconds).

You can also see these at 854 X 480 30P -- which is the YouTube Big Viewer resolution.

If you do not have a high speed Internet Connection -- the Big Viewer version is the best that you will be able to see.

In sequence, the videos are --

VIDEO--01 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_ikIcgIZGA

VIDEO--02 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX6kajnAG7M

VIDEO--03 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrX_g90E-9M

These videos are recorded as one sequence, but the camera that I have subdivides them into sections that are each 10 minutes and 40 seconds long. Then, those sections have to be combined during the conversion process to create a video segment. There were eleven sections that were changed into three segments for this video, which was done as one take.

When the software combines the sections into one segment, it misses a word if I happen to be talking at the second when two sections are joined together. I will work on that, to see if it can be remedied.

Also, I had a cold in my dose that day, so you will have to put up with my sniffles.

Overall, this came out very well -- much better than I thought it would. It only takes a few hours of studio time to record two hours of video, but it takes days to get it converted and uploaded to YouTube. Plus, I am trying out four different editing programs at the same time, so that slows things down too.

If your browser does not play these videos, and I know that Firefox often fails to play YouTube videos -- use Internet Explorer or Google Chrome instead.

Thank You.
