Tropheus project

Amazing fish Diogo, really very nice. Good job with them!

Your videos cut out on me every few seconds though - seems my high-speed cable internet isn't receiving the data quickly enough to keep pace with the video. Not sure if others are having this issue... is there a 'quality' setting of some type you have set to maximum? With pics (and videos I suppose) your viewers cannot really see any difference between 'excellent' and 'good' digital media on most computer monitors, so most people will see your material much more quickly without any visible loss of quality if you tone down the quality settings...

Just to give you an example, a 'good balance' quality 800x600 pic from my camera is about 80Kb of data, and is for all intents and purposes indistinguishable in quality on your average computer monitor from the same 800x600 pic in 'excellent' mode, which is around 350 Kb of data.

Not meaning to be a sour puss - I would just love to see those videos uninterrupted!

Cheers!

Hi,

Your right about the high resolution of my pics but you can´t forget that are some Foruns around the world (and I´m in a few) that can see the photos a lot bigger than Cichlid-forum. The pics are all the same on all.

About the video you just need to wait a couple of moments in pause to be able to see it all at once.

Cheers,
Diogo

Ok, I was referring to the image quality setting, not the resolution. In the example I gave above (the 80 Kb vs 350Kb file) - it's the same pic, and same resolution (800 x 600), and on a computer monitor they look the same; one just loads a lot faster.

Anyhow, your pics, your call. Given that you are posting lots at a time I just figured more people would look at them if they loaded faster.

One way or the other, you have terrific tanks and fish! Thanks for sharing them with us.
