Caught in action!

I was in the backyard yesterday and came across this.  A Crane Fly stuck on my D. capensis.  So I HAD to get a pic of it. While I was at it, why not take a quick short movie of it struggling  

  I felt sorry for the little guy afterwards.  Since he provided me with such a great photo op, I decided to free him.  So here's the pic and movie. The movie file size is about 1.2 megs.

Cool movie

Great movie of that, absolute perfect opportunity for a video capture.

Hey I noticed the .Mov is in Motion JPEG Video which is pretty big, I have the Sorenson Suite for MPEG-4's I could convert it to an MPEG-4 be about 450 - 500k in size at the same rez. Save you some bandwidth if you would like me to convert it.

Ancalagon,
Thanks, I would really appreciate that!

Rats... My player won't let me see the movie! I guess it's because I don't have QT installed.

The movie is there.  I noticed that it will open what appears to be a blank window.  Give it 20-30 seconds (depending on your connection) and it will appear.

The movie loaded fine, but I don't have the plugin to run it properly.

Ok conversion done you can see the MPEG-4 Version here
MPEG-4 Version

You will need QuickTime 6 to vew MPEG-4's Apple's QuickTime

Enjoy!

Forgot to post size sorry its 468k

Seems some people have had problems with both the QuickTime and MPEG-4 version.  Here is one in Flash, I made it smaller so it will stream even on low bandwith (dial up) (total file size is 163k)

Wow's that's cool!

Anyway how did u convert the movie to a flash file?

 

[SnowyFalcon]

Awesome! If only my D. Capensis seedlings would grow faster so they could reach the size needed to catch insects. They are only two months old, so they are still little babies.
