So this was a test of the separate mic for my new vlogging camera.
I was filming and the wife was mic'd up.
Worth watching if you are interested in Canals or Cruise black tie masquerade etiquette 😂

You dressed as a lion? Clarence? That explains your mincers
Sounds great, video render is crisp for web.
Please compress your video, for others and your own sake. This is a sub 1 minute 1080p video at 137MB. I upload full 90 minute movies that are only ~600mb with acceptable quality & the same resolution. This kills people bandwidth, and will cut back the people who can actually view your content. I'm in a relatively fast Internet connection and it is unwatchable due to buffering.
Look into handbrake, a great price of software. It has defaults for web uploads. Also consider dropping your resolution, as most will be viewing this in tiny handheld devices, and will never notice the difference.
Thank you for the lecture 😂
I've clearly failed to build adequate Internet infrastructure where you live.
Happy to roll out 5G-A or full fibre if it will help.
Also, does this version help?
Still it bit bouncy imo
Looking forward to your stabiliser
I have a dilemma, I need to test for shipboard conditions where I want the stabilisation off, so you can all enjoy the Bay of Biscay, but I'll probably turn stabilisation on for shore excursions.
The bay of biscay can be very rocky from my experience although the worst I experienced was off the north of Norway when we were hit by a big gale.
I feel your pain, this was Christmas, two years ago just outside the Crows nest bar on deck 14 😂
Ouch
Should have mentioned, it was in Alta at the north tip of Norway with 24 hour darkness 🥹
About the same location, we were on a Hurtigruten ship at the time. I remember the captain advising we should scrap ourselves into our bunks and enjoy the journey.
I really want to do Hurtigruten or Havila. I'm trying to convince the wife that they are much better than the Isle of Wight ferry 😂
They are much better, designed for travelling up the coast of Norway in all weathers. We would highly recommend them.
We did a combined ice hotel/hurtigruten cruise
Yeh, we did an Ice Hotel too 😂
👍🏻
A wonderful experience
Did you stay in one? We only visited for the day!
We stayed overnight in one.
No way, that must have been amazing!
Being of a certain age, I was concerned about having to get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet 😂
It was amazing and going to the toilet during the night was a big issue. The toilet block was not in the ice hotel but in the adjacent building.
My connection is gigabit actually, thanks for the offer. Lots of people are using Nostr through VPN, or on mobile connections though, which will limit bandwidth. I was offering advice, because I assume you actually want people to view your vlog.
That other version is better, but still not optimal.
Here is a better encode, 720p, 34 mb

Better yet, 480p, 12 mb

You'll note on mobile they look the same, while using a fraction of the bandwidth. You don't need broadcast quality 1080p for social media posts.
Nostr doesn't do media optimization like centralized services, and also lacks HLS to serve appropriate streams for different devices and bandwidths. If you want people to watch your video, rather than scrolling by because it stutters or doesn't load, you need to do it yourself. Just some advice if you want people to actually view your vlogs rather than scrolling by.
