MOVIE CLIPS
(Choose a format to view by clicking on one of the two links provided.
The native format for the video camera (Olympus C-700UZ) is Apple Quicktime MOV. This
version will produce the
best picture and sound possible, but the file sizes are large. The Microsoft AVI files
were converted using Lead Multimedia Converter and while much smaller... their image quality
suffers (a lot on some movies, very little on others). If you have trouble viewing these
by directly clicking on the link, try right-clicking on the link, choose save to disk, and
play the video ouside the browser. The MOV files require
Apple Quicktime
player or plugin, and the AVI files require
Microsoft Windows Media Player
or similar.
The AVI files are converted using an
Indeo video codec,
if you have trouble viewing the video.)
