Question for Net Gurus Re: My New Aviation Videos

[Jay Honeck]

I just ran these videos from home for the first time, and was surprised (to
say the least) to see text over-written ON my videos, saying "PicVideo" and
a website called: www.jpg.com.

It appears on both:

http://www.alexisparkinn.com/low_pass_in_iowa_city.htm

http://www.alexisparkinn.com/landing_in_iowa_city.htm

What the heck is THAT, and how did that text end up on my video? (It's NOT
on the original videos.)

Don't see that text from here.

It's put in by the plug in used to display the video in the web page. You
should use windows media encoder and encode at a couple of different
bitrates. There will be no text over lay and the bitrate will be optimized
for the connection that the viewer has.

I don't have any idea how to make videos work with older software. (Hell, I
barely know how to make it work with *newer* software! :-)

Can't you upgrade to a newer version for free?

I didn't see that text when I ran them.

Can anyone tell me how to make the Rogue's Gallery page automatically scale
to whatever screen resolution the user is running?

For example, if someone has their screen set to 800 x 600 (rather than 1024
x 768) resolution, they have to "side-scroll" the "Rogue's Gallery" page.
This is NOT fun.

Yet other websites look okay no matter what your screen resolution is set
to. Somehow they "know" what your resolution is, and scale themselves
accordingly.

Thanks!

It's gotta be whatever you are using in your browser at home to view them.
I get no such text either.

I am shocked that it's *you* who eventually brought this up, that's usually
my job <g>.

Keep an eye out for a package for Atlas.

Yup, on this important date in aviation history - I sent [the item] down to
Iowa City ....in a big brown truck.

Well, I was finally able to duplicate the problem, after seeing it happen on
another machine "in person". I don't understand it, but -- if things go
the way they usually do with this HTML stuff -- fixing it will mean re-doing
the ENTIRE website, including all the photos, followed by upgrading my
operating system and browser software to the latest standards.

Your website generally has this problem. It's not just the gallery.

I haven't bothered to look at the source for your site, so I don't have any
specific suggestions. But you should look at the way you flow the pictures.
Where the whole page doesn't fit in the browser width, I can always find
some sequence of pictures that occupy the same line. Your problem is that
the page's source is requiring the pictures to exist on the same line, and
not allowing them to wrap to the next row. Thus, the page has an effective
"minimum width", below which scrolling horizontally will be required to see
the whole thing.

Fix those non-breaking rows of pictures, and my guess is that the problem
will go away.

Hi Jay,

You need to get the windows media encoder at I think
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/9series/encoder/default.aspx.
It makes things real painless. :)

I don't see the text over laid like you do but got to looking into
it. I'll bet someone at some time installed something from Pegasus software
and it's taken over the browser plug in for IE. If you open up windows
media player and go to the options there should be something in there that
will let WMP take things back over.

Hmm I sent it a couple of days ago. I can resend it if you want.
That thread kind of got off topic and I stopped reading. :)

Don't do that. I was going to surprise you but......... The way it's set
up now you will need to change a few things. Each row of pictures is a table
and each picture is in another table. Change the first table element to add
width="xxx" where xxx is the MAX size wide you want it. Say 640 for people
that have tiny monitors 740 is the standard now days.

Unfortunately I can't tell you how to do the second thing because Front Page
has hidden it in a style sheet somewhere as part of a webbot. What you
basically need to do is change the width of the columns in the middle and
left side to 25% and the right most column to 100%. that will make it
dynamic mostly. I'll send you a better way soon. :)

See, for this "Standards" were invented. If you just encode a "standard"
*.mpg (As in Mpeg 1, see google for details) you make everybody happy.
Like People running Mac OS, Linux, Unix, BeOS and whatnot. Even People
running older Windows' will be able to watch that.

Unfortunately M$ makes it so damn hard to encode "standard" mpeg,
because they like to have their own "standard", as in: "It works if you
run run the latest windows".

Newer version of what?

Can't be done. The window resolution isn't even available in CGI (the
screen resolution is, but not the window).

What most other websites are probably doing is *not* using layouts
with fixed sizes for things, and letting the browser figure it out for
itself. Or having a narrow fixed-width bar in the left margin and
letting the rest format as it likes.

That's the way I took it. I might do that eventually, Jay. I'm still getting

Netscape 4 is badly broken in CSS support, and CSS is the solution
most people are adopting to being reasonably cross-browser. And most
of us have given up trying to support Netscape 4. Current version is
7...
