I just added a new video clip of Justin "babytalking" into a toy phone at Aunty Corrina's apartment on August 16, 2003. 3 separate video clips (AVI format using Motion-JPEG compression) were shot using a Canon PowerShot G1 still camera then combined (using just copy and paste) into a 53-second video using QuickTime Player Pro 6.3 on my PowerBook G4/500 running Mac OS X 10.2.6. In QuickTime Player Pro, I then exported the combined file to an uncompressed AVI file (file ballooned to 179MB from original 12MB QuickTime file). I then used Windows Media Encoder 7.1 to create a 1.7MB Windows Media Video format file using WM8 compression for the PC version. For the Mac version, I exported to a 2MB QuickTime movie file using the "DSL/Cable - Medium" and "Fast Start - Compressed Header" settings and MPEG-4 compression (QuickTime Player 6 or higher required).
