My first video

As promised, I’ve been testing out the Canon Powershot SX120IS’s video capabilities. It records in the .avi format, which results in a humongous video file. For instance, I recorded The Look of Love and the file size was a staggering 252MB! Fortunately I was able to convert it into mpeg format, and the file is a more manageable 30MB. Hope you enjoy it.

P/S Just trying to insert a video file in WordPress.org is an exercise in sheer frustration. Fortunately my friend Crystal suggested I upload it to YouTube first and then embed the link here in this post. It worked straightaway. Thanks, Crystal!

  1. Oooooo…..are you taking requests? “Send in the Clowns”….perhaps my absolute fav on the keyboard when played with emotion. But this was a lovely song in its own right!! Nice video…glad you are enjoying the camera!

  2. Hey, thanks for stopping by, watching, and commenting, Heather and Doris. Btw Send in the Clowns is another favorite of mine too. Hmmm, maybe the camera’s enjoying my playing?

  3. Beautiful, Philip. Great song too. The camera loves you :lol: Such lovely musical talent. I hope to see more videos from you and your keyboard playing.

    If you are taking requests I’d love to see/hear you play November Rain by Guns N’ Roses. Beautiful song.

  4. Wonderful! Love it! Can’t wait for more. I’ll be making requests. Don’t forget us, the little people, when you become famous. :-)

    P.S. Your welcome! See, I do have good ideas sometimes. xoxo

  5. Very nice, Philip – though not even a trace of “smile for the camera” !? ;-((
    I’m not into music personally – though when I was very young I used to play on the linoleum !?

    Anyway, videos ‘n’ all (including of course ‘audio’) – so – what’s the excuse NOT for not joining us in Voice Chat sometime ??? :-P

  6. Thanks so much for the comments, my friends.

    Lisa: November Rain by Guns n’ Roses is not familiar to me, but I’ll do a little digging and see what I come up with.

    Crystal: I won’t forget you guys. The little people are the most important, truthfully. And that t-shirt was in the laundry, otherwise I’d have worn it!

    Ian: You can see I’m camera shy, can’t you lol. And video chatting? Dunno, I just prefer typing, I’m so old-fashioned!
