I finally got around to editing the solar eclipse video. Check it out below!

This 2 minute video was takened in front of the Huangshan International Hotel in Huangshan, China on July 22, 2009 around 9:32am. I was trying to say that the eclipse was "fully developed" but you couldn't see it because of the clouds covering it. Then I panned around to show how dark it was even though it was 9:32 in the morning. Finally, the clouds had cleared and you can still see the eclipse to totality. There was a Chinese couple standing next to me talking loudly at each other.

My camcorder was a Samsung SC-MX-10 with a 34X zoom. It generates an AVI file which isn't web friendly. So I converted the AVI to Flash (FLV) so I could embed it into HTML. The problem is the FLV video lost resolution and doesn't look as good. I changed the codec to H.264. The resolution is much better now!
