A customer wanted to know how to reduce the file size of a movie clip from his still camera to post on the net, his camera captures in AVI. So since I needed a 1 minute clip and for some time I wondered if I could set up my Contrail in less than a minute, I gave it a go. My previous best time was about 1 min 10sec . It takes me two to four minutes in the bush depending on the weather and how I feel.
From memory I put the tent up six or seven times , going over a minute only once.
To transcode the file from AVI to Mpeg I used RAD tools (convert a file button) , free from the Net. To reduce it I think that I used Windows Movie Maker ( Capture Video-import video then Finish Movie-send to the Net) , but RAD tools has Smack it!
This was done 14 months ago with the 06 Contrail, the 08 is a bit different but the set up is the same. No one has challenged my time as yet ... ( not about to challenge that myself today at 43-44c)
