Yay morning Doves. I saw 2 today outside my back porch. My squirl friend came back, and I saw a group of Blue Jays, and 1 Red Cardinal. Besides those not so rare birds, lots of sparrows and ravens. Nice vid, reminds me of my friends in backyard.

Thanks!

Ravens? We don't have *them* here! Just the crows - very cool! I haven't seen Blue Jays in a long time! There was an abundance of squirrels today, and I think we had about 8 or 9 Mourning Doves visiting at one time!

Thanks! I just went over there and joined - it would be nice if YouTube would allow 16:9 native video files, but for now you can only do 16:9 letterbox...

Hello!~The camera I'm using for my HDV shots is a Sony HDR-FX1 - I'm not sure which is better, the HV10 or the HC3 - they both seem to have a lot of similarities, zoom range/HDV/etc... I've used Sony for the longest time without problems, but I've also seen good footage coming from Canon DV camcorders (mainly the GL-2) in editing sessions... so I'm kind of evenly divided on both of them -- it's better to see if you can test demo models out to see which one works better for you, handling, etc...

Hey I´m Looking to buy a HDV Camcorder, I am betwen Canon HV10 and Sony HC3. Wich one do you recomend me?

What was the camera you used to make this amazing videoclip? Thanks a lot!

The way I've been doing it is to take it into a program called MPEG Streamclip (a freeware program) and converting it to a QuickTime movie with the MPEG-4 codec, sized down from 1920x1080 to 420x237, and then I upload those files to YouTube. The original .m2t files from the camera itself take slightly less than 200 MB per minute for me...
