[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop,rec.video.production, (More info?)

Hi,

I Just uploaded a Quickie mp4 review of the Rode VideoMic. If you're
interested:

go to www.tyford.com
click on the review articles archive
click on the Quickies folder
the mp4 is inside.

Does the Quickie look/sound like something helpful?

Any other thoughts?

Regards,

Ty Ford

Ty,

I guess I don't have what it takes to view this flavour of mpg4. With
IE I only get the video. If I download it, the audio (but no video)
will play in Winamp and the video ( but no audio) will play in DivX
Player.

Yes.

Close-up inserts of the goods (particularly if you are
talking about a particular feature) would be helpful.

Since most of us have never met you in person, some
kind of comparison (15 seconds of you voice on each
of your stable of mics?) would give us a better reference
to compare against.

The (free) Quicktime player (from Apple) plays back
Ty's files just fine.

Oh yea, that thing. I forgot I had taken it off (it kept trying to
take over my computer and was ever so slow). I've been using a qt
alternative that uses the qt codec (6.5.1). It seemed to work on
everything (till now)

Oh well.....

Cool. One of the reasons I love the internet.

Hmm... sort of like a benchmark file? Neumann U 89, Schoeps cmc641,
Sennheiser MKH 414. That be enough?

Add the EV635, Shure SM7, RE20, MC012. That would be so cool to be able to
say to all the, "I'm thinking about getting a -----. What do you think?"
questions with, "Just go here --------."

That collecction would be a popular thing in both
these video newsgroups, and in the audio newsgroups.
(And a Shure SM57/58 just for reference.)
