Hi all,

Maybe you've read about our rabbits Pie and Chips (see the threads
with subject Companion).

I've put a short movie starring Pie and Chips online.  Please have a
look! http://www.atlanticview.biz/bunnies/piechipsmovie.htm 

Regards

Thanks Alan, that movie made my day! They look very comfortable together.
Chips has such a serious little face... Of course, I'm a bit partial to Pie,
being a rex and all that. I think he is simply gorgeous! Great Chincilla
colouring.

Not to spoil your (or his!) fun: rexes are very prone to getting overweight
and he is well on his way ;) Limiting his pellets and taking out the alfalfa
(the flat leafy hay-bits) will help. Chips has still some growing to do, but
adult rabbits really don't need (allthough love) big amounts of pellets.

But they are both gorgeous and look very happy. Thanks for letting us share!

And those ears! They bend forward in the most funny way. And that white
belly... and that sweet gentle rex-face...
okay, it's official, I'm in love with Pie.

Yep, I'm aware that Pie is a bit of a roly poly.  Trouble is, as an only bunny
for the last few months he's been somewhat spoiled.

But he is a perfect sweetie.  I will try to get some film of him with those
ears forward and the head bobbing up and down thing that rabbits do when they
are not sure about something.  Those ears have a life of their own.  He sits
at the window watching, ears straight up.  When somebody walks past the ear
closest to the window swivels around to follow! So funny.  But yes, he is a
gentle inoffensive sweetheart, but I'm convinced he's a little bit slow in the
head.  For example, little Chips learnt in precisely 4 days that a crackling
rustling noise from the kitchen probably meant the kale bag was on the way -
excitement!  But Pie, in over 6 months, has never made the connection

Great fun

Hi Alan,

I would love to see the movie, but unfortunately it's in Quicktime and I
can't see it. :-( Trying to download the QT files necessary only results in
an error. I would love to see Pie and Chips - is there any chance of
converting it to an mpg?

Take care,
Martha and Aimee

Oh dear, I am sorry about that.  Trouble is, I'm a Mac user, so of course
Quicktime is the native format, and mpg is a Windows format.  But I'll try a
divx version, which Windows Media Player might handle, but it might need to
download the codec. My tools don't seem to cater for any obviously Windows
formats.

I'll get back to you

No need to apologise. :-) I don't use WMP, but I do have two other apps that
I use for media files and I'm pretty sure both can read divx. Other apr-ers
might have some problems but we'll have to wait and see. I know Joe is
another Mac user who has encountered this issue. I think his solution was to
post the file on YouTube for us, but I'm not sure if any converting happened
beforehand.

I am very curious to see Pie and Chips, particularly since I am owned by a
mini-Rex myself.

Take care,
Martha and Aimee

Well then, I am sure that you'll be able to view the divx I've now placed. It's
at http://www.atlanticview.biz/bunnies/pieandchips.divx

You will either see it immediately or need to download it - not sure really, but
I do hope you can view it

I downloaded it just in case I needed to fiddle around, but it worked like a
charm. I opened it up with Nero ShowTime. My goodness are they ever cute!
:-) I love Chip's snowshoe feet and Pie's ears have a life of their own. :-)
Thank you very much for sharing.

Take care,

Arlette & Cocoa - 24 Feb 2008 22:23 GMT
I SEE IT NOW!!! Thanks! Was there sound?

The buns are so sweet. It's funny how Chips is concerned about Pie's
presence. Reminded me of my Cocoa when Brownie first came on the scene.

They are beautiful buns!

It seems that everybody loves Pie's ears!!
As I sit here they are down at my feet, and Chips is wearing out Pie's
ears, licking the life out of them.  They groom each other a lot.  No
doubt that the pair of them have become firm friends, and very
quickly, but then, Pie is a perfect sweetie, and would probably love a
monitor lizard!
Chips back legs are sticking out behind her, with those enormous feet,
bigger than a labrador's!
Professor - 25 Feb 2008 21:50 GMT
When I first introduced Jump to Zolo they licked each other's ears so
much that they actually created bald spots.  They did calm down, and the
fur grew back.  LOL

From one Mac user to another, consider getting a YouTube account and
posting videos there. It's pretty much universal.

Joe,
I looked at YouTube, but decided that their required format crippled my
beautiful 1080i high definition movies so much that it seemed to be an
insult to their quality.  You should see this stuff on a full HD TV or
even on my iMac 1920x1200 screen.  No comparison

Congratulations. The only thing you could have done better would have
been to pull the iMac out of your hat :-)

The Canon XH-A1 is a lovely camera, and I'm a Canon fan, owning Canon
EOS 5D stills cameras.  

But it all depends what you mean by Blu-Ray compatible.  Certainly,
edited output from all of these HD cameras IS compatible, but the
problem is the creation of the discs.  There is currently no way to
burn a Blu-Ray DVD on an iMac, simple as that.  The best way to view
your HD material from HD camcorders is simply to connect the camera to
the TV via an HDMI cable and press Play on the camera.  If desired,
you can download the original HD material to the computer, edit it,
title it, etc, and 'print' it back to the tape in the camera, and then
view it via the same HDMI connection.  For short films there is a way
to record HD material onto standard DVDs, via a standard DVD burner,
such as is in the iMac, but I understand it to be quite a complex
process, and I haven't tried it
Professor - 27 Feb 2008 21:27 GMT
Yeah!  And I'm a novice.  I'll find out.  Thanks.

I'm sure it is, but if you want to share things with people who don't
have that kind of equipment, you have to make choices.

I haven't attempted to share anything such as the full HD with anybody
here who doesn't have that sort of equipment have I?  That's why I
created smaller compressed QT versions, quite obviously, I think.  I
refuse to compromise my material further by going way way down to
YouTube's level.  As you will have seen, if you've read the thread
completely, I was happy to produce a divx for one 'customer', but will
go no lower

I am using Firefox and have attempted to download Quicktime. Runs into a
problem on installation. If you go back a bit to some of Joe's movie
postings you will see that this is a common problem.

Take care,

Arlette & Cocoa - 24 Feb 2008 22:16 GMT
I can't see Quick time either, but that's by choice. When I install it, it
screws up all my other media programs by trying to take over the world. So,
I just won't have it on my computer. "Bad Quicktime, BAD, BAD!"

I think it's more Microsoft than Quicktime. Seems like only Windows
users have problems with it. I can see QT videos fine from linux, for
example. MS has a history of crippling third party formats and
applications.

Microsoft has just recently been making compatibility noises, saying
they're going to go with open formats (for some things anyway). Maybe
this will change in the future. I suspect they're facing the fact of
OS neutral viewing formats like Flash.

Funny, I have an Apple & a Dell.  Quicktime runs on my dell with no
issues. It runs so well I bought  Quicktime pro so I can edit.  All the
cameras I have seen shoot in Quicktime.  And no, Quicktime never took
over stuff that I didn't want it to.
