suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
OK Chris, I'll get on it.

What a great event this was! Adam, many thanks for putting this together, I had a great time! I thoroughly enjoyed watching folks play around on the Z-5. Imagelight, it was awesome watching you work some magic on the console!
I never seem to get a chance to take pics at the event, I did manage to get one of folks playing on the Z-5 though!
Uploading video from my camera to Youtube is a long drawn out non-intuitive process. I signed up for Vimeo today to see if that's easier. I only took 3 stills with my DSLR camera (and they were at the airport). 12 with my iPhone and 7 of them are flying in the Cessna with Chris - 5 are closeups of the APC40 skin and 1 is the LCD projector. I shot several videos but more was quadcopter flying (battles) and flying in the Cessna. We didn't really do anything with lasers. LOL
Truthfully, I'm guessing less than 8-10 "shows" were probably run. There were beams moving around all weekend but, there was an awful lot of other things to do.
So... yeah. Not a lot of footage but a hell of a lot of fun.
OK, I have three videos uploaded so far. They were all shot on Friday night before we really got things cranked up, but it should give you some idea as to what it was like. I've got more video on the GoPro plus some video on the memory card out of the quad-copter, but that will have to wait until I have more time to upload it. I also have about 2 dozen pictures I need to upload...
Here are the videos:
Laser Soup Part 1
Laser Soup Part 2
Laser Soup Part 3 + a close-up of the inside of Frank's (FLECOM's) projector
I'll try to get the "Emulaser" video uploaded tonight, but that's on the GoPro and it's a much larger file (longer upload).
EDIT: OK, Emulaser video is up:
Now I'm going to bed!

Grr... I watched my FLEM video of Bill's presentation early this morning and started the transcoding process about 9 am. At 12:45 with about 75% completed, I accidentally closed the program! Damnit, damnit, damnit. The video is a little over an hour long so, once it's finally up... plan on getting a beverage and propping your feet up.

what are you using to transcode? the free x.264 encoder is reasonably fast.
looking at the gopro.com website, it says the native format is mp4 with h.264. you should be able to upload that directly to youtube.

I have a Canon Vixia HF R200 camcorder and am using the bundled PIXELA Video Browser. It can convert and send straight to Youtube which is what I have always done up to this point but, I discovered it will only send 10 minute chunks if it's longer than 10 minutes so, I found another button that allows you to convert it for iTunes or other video uploading sites and I "think" it's making it into a WMV file. I clicked "high quaility" and it's 1701.8MB in size. I'm at 21% on the second try and it's been a little over 1/2 hour.
I'm using my work computer so it's going in the background. Not a particularly powerful computer but with bouncing around between e-mail, MS Word, Internet Explorer and other things, I had accidentally closed it on the taskbar.
I'm the one with the GoPro, not Brad.
The problem with uploading files directly from the GoPro to Youtube is the massive file size. That 6 minute video above (the emulaser demo) was nearly half a gigabyte. That takes a while to upload! (Took me 30 minutes on a cable modem.) And remember that the GoPro already used the H.264 encoding on it. (Would be much larger in raw format.)
Some high-def cameras create even larger files than the GoPro does, due to higher resolutions and/or different compression schemes. In that case, it makes sense to re-compress the video first, to save on upload time.
Then too, Bill's presentation on the new scanners was over an hour long in total. Even with the GoPro's H.264 encoding, it will take me several hours to upload the whole video to Youtube if I don't re-compress it first. (Which is why it hasn't been uploaded yet.)

try dropping the memory card into a card reader and copying the files directly to your computer. they're h.264 and should be directly upload-able to youtube.
