Nobody shares knowledge better than this



  • Luckily, I didn't live there.



  • Fast forward for even more knowledge

     You know by now that I don't like LARGE video files. Well that has changed.

    My plan is to get some night vision video. Maybe 8 or 10 hours long. Then I'll code up the playback to start at 3 seconds and play for 1/10 then at 6 seconds play for another 1/10 over and over in the control file. In a fraction of the time I can see the timelapse display of the video. Like in 20 minutes or 1/2 hour be through the complete shoot. It will be great to find the game trails to set up the motion cameras and videos. All from the front deck. There is no way I would want to watch 10 hours of nothing. 

     

    Swampies will now become famous for night time discoveries. WOW.

    Why not just use an IR or motion sensitive trigger on the camera?

    I was going to ask that but forgot. Game/trail cameras already have motion sensors.

  • Time Lapse Video - another super option

    My goal is to find game trails by digiscoping hillsides from a distance with a infra red spotting scope. Then set up a motion sensitive camera on the site. The Fast Forward / time lapse  option will be great for watching cloud formations and keeping an eye out for nefarious nighttime activity.

    Being lazy I don't want to watch the long video clips.

    I'll also use it to catalog my complete trapline collection for quick viewing in 10 to 15 minutes.

     

     



  • Video Surveill 22X7 with Spectate Swamp

    That's what I'm gonna do; during the next nice day or two. The Spirit Ridge SkyLine will be the focus. Video everything that moves day and night.
    Shoot 6 or 8 hours in the late day / early evening
    Shoot 6 or 8 more in the early morning hours
    What's the prospect of finding something unusual on this "first Surveill"?  I'm betting We'll find something!!!
    These multiple 1 hour video clips will be viewed at FastFwd speed; making reviews way quicker. 20 times faster
     
    Now this is knowledge sharing on the fly
    Cloud formations and contrails will catch my interest.
    If there is something special I'll upload that screen reshoot to my YouTube account asap
     
    My camcorder has:
    a record total of 841 minutes (14Hrs 1Min)
    Then there's the Night-Shot option for InfraRed enhancements
    20 optical zoom
    output to SD - mpeg files for viewing with SSDS

    This process being extremely simple and slotherly; so it shouldn't be a problem to follow these easy steps for a week or two.
     
    Everything We need for now "The hunt begins"
    Come on Swampies get with the hunt in your local.

  • Random FastForward - THE favorite feature

     When you have tons of video like I do then you'll realize how important the Fast FastForward is. Blast through those wedding videos!

    My next screen reshoot video will show off this feature. Not sure what the subject will be? Quick replay of a farmyard goats day. Cloud formations and shadows cast on local mountains. Aliens. So many subjects go well with FastForward.

    Without random the feature would be of much lesser importance.


  • 🚽 Regular

    I thought you previously said you never like to fast forward or edit footage out because of the possibility that you might miss a cloaked alien or something. Have you changed your stance?



  •  I wonder how many UFO's are actually compression artifacts.



  • Fast Forward uncloaks slow moving artifacts

     In testing out the Fast forward option I viewed the cloaked object. It is much easier to see the artifacts in FF

    Dang I'm forgetful I implemented the FF option way back on 08Feb2012 (page 48). The latest version has minor enhancements.  I can now set the offset for the start. Ie if I skip 2 seconds and play .08 of a second I may miss something. Now I have an offset where I can start at .5 1. or 1.5 seconds in and have the increment of 2 seconds added to that. So by appending that group to previous ones It can randomly play from either start point.

     

    A video of  1 hr and 19 minutes plays back in FF mode in 4 minutes and 2 seconds. It all depends on the speed of your computer. My old build machine is only about 4 or 5 times fast compared to nearly 20. 



  • @SpectateSwamp said:

    Is this forum your change tracker and version management system?



  • Not so fast.. 6 or 7 times is plenty

     20 times speed - just skips too much stuff. 

    For 'the cloud shoot' video 6 or 7 times speed increase is plenty. Set it to start at every 1/2 second mark and play for 1/12 second. Then "skip and play" again and again.

    Are you implying that you sit around and watch wedding videos in fast forward? That's pretty wack even by the standards of this thread.

    Really? I thought it was one of the more sensible comments (again, by relative standards). Wedding/Holiday videos you're obliged to watch are best view at around 8x speed I find.



  • Whose computer is it anyway - Just Jam IT

    During tests of the Fast Forward option I have discovered the need for another FEATURE...
     
    When other jobs start up; the fast forward feature sometimes goes into stops and starts during playback.
     
    Few others watch video My way. IE My computers run unprotected with no background virus app or other unexpected jobs hogging resources. So FF runs great for me. But probably not so well for others. Thus the need for the new "SYSTEM HOG" feature.
     
    This option disables all "DoEvent" calls from within SSDS; no more Yielding time to the Operating System so doohickey distractions can run. SSDS becomes a resource Hog.  
     



  • Perhaps you should build an SSDS OS, and create a stand-alone dedicated SSDS device.  Get yourself an open source OS and strip out all the features not required to run SSDS.  Faster boot times, faster SSDS performance, faster noodle jamming.   SSDS would run at or near the kernel level.

    You could check out the Cosmos operating system, which would allow you to leverage your most of your existing vb code and develop in Visual Studio.  You would have to move to vb.net rather than vb 6, but working in this fashion should allow SSDS to work as close to bare metal as possible.

    Combine that with using a very small form factor PC and you could market a stand alone SSDS appliance.

    When my app is running nothing else matters to me. I'll have to check setting the thread priority UP. In reviewing fast forward and rewind video speeds on various forums, it seems that other apps can cause poor performance and video freezing.

    In the past I couldn't see the need for FF or RW but now I can. My next screen reshoot will be of the cloaked one. FastForward and Rewind will show the Cloakie like never before.  I'm excited.

     And it's even bigger that first imagined.

    Right at the 80 - 83 second mark the REST of the entity is visible.

    Only by watching this segment forward and backward multiple times did SSDS reveal this new Knowledge.

    It seems to be 2 or 3 times as BIG... The main image is preceeded by a much fainter one. Only with SSDS you say. Yup.

  • Putting computers to work - That's what SSDS does


    99.99% of computer resources are wasted, as the computers sit idle. So code that isn't 100% perfect, is OK.

    Of late I have been checking out E-Learning conferences and replying to their emails and not getting any replies. I hope some Swampies get on the e-learning bandwagon..


    Wow e-learning conferences without SSDS are such a waste.

  • Nobody shares the Panama Papers better
    CMS and the Panama Papers
    People want to see this stuff bad.
    They don't want some watered-down pre-screened dribble from Govt or Journalists.
    Give Us the data. On the Cloud in searchable sortable data sets. It's that simple!
    All we want is the data. Give it to us Now!...

    Here is how I'd like to see the Panama Papers on the cloud.

    FIRST! How to distribute the "EMAILS" for quick easy access by the populace.

    Lets start with a large text file containing important email info that can be quickly searched, SORTed, extracted, searched and examined etc...

    A subset containing:

    Date time of each email
    Sender Id
    Subject: info
    First and Last (50 characters) of the email message. (salutation and closing details)
    For a total of 200 to 300 characters per record - easily SORTable and small.

    Multiply that by 11,000,000 (the number of e-mails) for file size.

    Have the option of downloading the file or View it on the host Cloud Site...

    Being able to search this Email data in 1 or more files would be a great start for anyone interested in the Panama Files.

    SECOND! Pictures and Images. Let people randomly peruse these images.. Because People are nosey..

    Give users the option of creating a wiki like document for each image file and what emails they may be associated with.
    come on we want names and details. People out there know far more than what's in the existing data horde.
    Along the way we'll be creating a massive wiki like record base of links, videos, pictures for a more thorough Panama Papers investigation.

    NOTE: There are files and video formats that this App does not deal with. BUT those specific file types
    can be randomly selected and passed through the CLIPBOARD to another App that can handle, play / display them.

    Investigators can search this huge library of info, only downloading those relatively few specific records for viewing or storing?

    Why aren't we seeing something similar? This Cloud System could be Up in a few days. What's up? Is there data hoarding, redacting going on?

    I was talking about identification of corrupt MP3 files but sure, I wouldn't be surprised if VB5 had issues with something as simple as moving files as well.

    I could be wrong, but I'm going to go ahead and venture that SSDS will run on a Windows 10 phone shortly after Hell flash freezes.
