Apostles' Creed Videos on YouTube

[[Admin] danroth]

I found these two videos on YouTube, and really like them.
(coincidentally, they're all teens)

This one seems to be being freely shared by its creators.

This one might have some copyright issues with background music

I'm pursuing this one without the website watermark

What's also cool is that it wouldn't be too hard for most folks to do this at their own church.

I think we'd need to do that both for the accent (I've played things at church with quite a strong Norn Iron accent - a lot stronger than mine - and got away with it, but...) and to get one with the CofE translation of the Apostles' Creed. (Isn't it great having shared texts like this where we can't quite agree on the actual words?)

Anyone for a video version of the Quicunque vult?

just curious. When you show a youtube video during a service how do you convert it to a .wmv or .avi to show through mediashout? And how's the quality of the video when you project it?

I've tried in the past to show a few youtube videos but they are not that great of quality, so I've been discouraging people from showing them. But if there's a way to show them and not have a great loss in quality I would like to use some of the youtube videos. With permission of course.

FLV in MediaShout

And how's the quality of the video when you project it?

depends on the original quality

generally kind of iffy, but some of them (like the B&W one above) have quality that's fine

also, note that if you play it as an animation rather than a video, you get a much smaller picture (may or may not be too small for where you are), but it looks better

[j natale]

I was unaware that you can now show .flv through MediaShout. I'll try that when I go back to the church later this week.

Thank you for pointing this feature out.

note that I have the klite codec pack installed

I have had better luck with keepvid.com when saving a youtube video locally for playback during a presentation.

I usually save it as a .mp4 and rename the file to .mpg.
With the k-lite codec pack, WMP plays it well, even in PowerPoint.

As for the display quality, no it is not great dvd quality, but I have found that it really is not too bad, even on lesser quality youtube videos.
Actually, for whatever reason, I think it looks a lot better on the projection screen than on the computer monitor. The blockiness just seems much less visible on the screen. It could be our Kramer VP-724xl scaler, or something in the projector video processing, or maybe just the lower contrast of the projected image, but the block artifacts are just much less visible and it looks quite good.

I'm pretty sure i have klite codec on the projection computer.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions and help. I'm sorry I hijacked this thread.
