Hi, Alec!
Just got back from Washington D.D. an hour,or so,
ago - and checked my emails at home. Thought you did a good job with the
video on the 2009 convention - considering the lousy water conditions and
silt bottom! I'd enjoy having a copy of it, if it isn't too much trouble -
glad to cover any DVD costs, etc. Just send to the office.
D.C. was good - had supper at the Capitol Building
last night with various congresspersons, Admirals, Buzz Aldrin and other
astronauts on the Space side, Sylvia Earle, Joe MacInnis and the usual suspects
on the Ocean side - also gave a talk at a
National Geographic headquarters the day before and at another banquet at
the Canadian Embassy. The Capitol was very cool, though - and the art in the
areas where the public is not allowed is spectacular! An original oil of George
Washington that he actually sat for . . .huge murals of the Fathers of
Confederation and so on

video
My convention video is online. I initially tried
Youtube, but deleted it when I found the file compression made everything
outside the sub a uniform green. All the starfish and sponges simply
disappeared, and it looked like we were admiring a painted green wall through
the viewport. So, I've moved to another site that is not free but which offers
better quality. It’s still jumpy and full of jagged edges compared to the DVD
version, but at least one can see the starfish now. I think I'll be moving
older videos to this other site as well. They have weekly upload quotas,
so look for about one video per week.
I'll mail Ray a full resolution DVD. The site where
this is hosted also allows downloads of the full quality file for one week. Be
forewarned if you choose that option, it's a VERY big download -- 784MB. But
if you do have the patience for that, it certainly looks a lot
better.
Be aware also there's a fade to black mid movie to
separate two chapters. It isn't ended till you see the credits!
