First 5x5 Vignette. It was a very windy day so I took some footage of some plants & trees blowing in the wind.

Shot from Canon TX1 at 720P. The audio had a lot of wind noise even though I turned on the wind filter. It was ridiculously windy though so it was expected. My hat flew off twice during this time.

I did an experiment in post. Edited this with my 800Mhz Fujitsu U810 UMPC using Sony Vegas. While editing, the preview screen couldn't really keep up but it wasn't actually too bad editing HD footage on such a slow computer. I'm somewhat glad now that the Canon TX1 encodes to MJPEG. If it encoded to H.264, there would be no way I would be able to edit it since H.264 is so processor intensive.

I ended up encoding the final product to 720P WMV. It took 54 minutes to encode 25 seconds worth of footage.

I doubt I will edit HD footage on a UMPC in the near future, but it's nice to know it's even possible.

    I say re-do. It looks as if the wind was so strong--it threw out your shoot, even your camera appears shaky because of the wind, yes?
    I'd like to see you do another 5X5 because it was be a better representation of your abilities - not biased by the winds.

    I will be doing a lot more hopefully. This was a rush job. Took all those shots within 5 minutes while at work and was all handheld with zooming.

    LOL, you did this at work...HA, I thought I was the only one that did that sort of thing!! Cool, I look forward to it.

    Whats with the compression, the TX1 shoots nicer images than this..? it looks like it got compressed quite a lot, yet your uploaded file is still pretty large..? re-render.?

    The flash version was compressed a lot that's for sure. Most likely since there's a lot of moving grass and leaves which is a worst case scenario for an encoder.
