Well the new trail cam (Bushnell Trophy Cam HD) is up and running, and the clips from last night surprised me by the re-appearance of the badgers. I'm still getting the hang of the new cam and some sections are over exposed (I need to allow more distance). The timestamp can be switched off. I'll see if it continues to get in the way of the images, but it's quite handy for indicating when the clips were taken.<\/p>\n
The one other minor issue is editing. I hate editing video. Windows Movie Maker just about coped with the clips but it did crash a few times. Elements Premier failed to recognize the AVI files as video at all (just audio). No doubt a 'codec' issue, but I've been down that road too often to relish trying to find the right one. If I keep clips short WMM will probably do the job ok. I may have overloaded it this time by attempting to splice too many clips together. Overall though the cam does the job, and the files are good quality and have sound. If you listen carefully at around 1:10 t you can hear the badger munching on peanuts!<\/p>\n
Anyhow, here are the clips!<\/p>\n
