Well, you've read the notes, the notes were all right, and now it is time for you to post until the all right cows come home.

And the word of the day is: MAVERICK!

George, I was surprised at the gigs and have no idea why it's that much. Do you have a way of getting it down to 120 or even lower? Then I could post it. But I tried YouTube as a test and it read out as too big at 160. If you have a way, I could send you the Dropbox link via e-mail. I have no idea how to do it.

Well, in Quick Time it has the option to export as 720p so I'm trying that, but that's going to take forty-five minutes to an hour so how much smaller will it be. I could go down to standard def but what's the point of THAT.

Hopefully, that will work. Maybe by converting it to a different file format that doesn't use as much data, like going from MPEG2 to MPEG4 would work. I have a program that can do that.

I loved the song in your notes, BK. Perfect song for now.

I've already ordered the Chinese food for two-thirty in the afternoon from Green Apple Bistro, which I've enjoyed a few times. Grubhub for this one. Got orange chicken (asked for extra crispy and hopefully it will be because I can't eat it if it's not) and then chicken lo mein, the small size of each.

Upload should be done in ten minutes or so, then I can see what's what. If that doesn't work, then I'll link George to the original large file in Dropbox and see if he can do something with it. I also want to make sure the quality isn't lesser.

I do notice that it's a .mov file, so maybe that's why, but I wouldn't know how to change that.

My program (VideoReDo) can convert files between more than a couple dozen file formats.

Well, that's fascinating - it's now 720p and 5 gigs. It makes me think I should do it at 1080 now and see if doing it via Quick Time lowers the gigs which it probably will. I'm trying, but at least I can now upload to YouTube and they have a new kind of private called "unlisted" and I give out that link to everyone but it doesn't show up in searches.

Uploading that one now - about an hour it says, maybe less. It says forty-five minutes now. I hope that one comes out at around 50GB although the 720 looks great.

Finished with the David Diamond symphonies - most are very enjoyable. Now doing the Walter Piston symphonies, which are kind of similar - not a ton of melody but very tonal and American-sounding. When I'm done with Piston it's on to William Schuman, although not all his are on YouTube. I'm not a fan of the Gerard Schwarz recordings of these, but thankfully YouTube has classic first versions conducted by Bernstein, Ormandy, and Koussevitsky - great conductors all, with great bands.

Guess I'll take a shower while this upload continues.

I just realized that my back door is still open!

Back door is closed, and my evening meds have finally been taken. I forgot that, too.

bk · « **Reply #18 on:** April 07, 2020, 02:07:31 AM »

Eleven minutes.

bk · « **Reply #19 on:** April 07, 2020, 02:12:48 AM »

Six minutes.

Two minutes and we'll know the 1080 story.

Well, from 160GB to 8GB. I think we're good.

Well, I need to get some sleep. I actually have to take part in a virtual meeting for my work, but at least I have a laptop from work, so it has the specific program that I need to participate. I just don't know what time it starts, but I was told that it'll be in the afternoon, so I won't have to get up too early.

Have a good day, all!

Good morning, all!

I slept well until around 4:00am, when my legs really began to bother me. The cats roused me arounbd 6:0-0 and I decided it was time to start moving.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #26 on:** April 07, 2020, 03:58:46 AM »

This morning I must hop a bus and find a grocery.

I must spend some time today converting those all-caps Babes In Toyland lyrics to standard form. I'd like to get through Act Two today. I also need to dig through the storage boxes to locate my photocopies of the existing librettos.
