VIDEOS - during their ride on The London Eye!!!

Firstly, a few details on "The Eye"......

Secondly, a couple of photos......

......and now the videos!!!

NOTES ON THE VIDEOS
In each of these, Brett is on the camera and does the voice-over
while Tanya does a couple of "guest appearances" and says a few words

In the original format, these movies were huge - totalling over 25,000Kb
and that would take 'hours and hours and hours' to download using a 56k modem!!!

So I firstly converted them from the QuickTime format to "avi"
and then used the Windows Media Encoder to further convert them to the "wmv" format

This process reduced the size of each one - dramatically!!!
Video #01 - from 10,842Kb to 185Kb
Video #02 - from 14,565Kb to 240Kb

Much, much better download times
BUT
this process also results in a loss of the quality of the video
(eg, the sharpness and detail)

But you can see The Eye,
and you can see London and a few landmarks,
and you can see and hear Tanya,
and you can hear Brett

And that is the important thing!!!
