A very video Vednesday

The videos of Child Three's all-star game are up.

This took a bit longer than I planned, as I experimented with video formats and sizes. I'm not 100% pleased with the result, but I'll follow the "80% is good enough" principle on this one and call it done.

I had a little panic attack Monday when halfway through the editing process iMovie refused to accept clips from the camera. There was space on the drive I was using, but I transferred some large files off to make more room. That didn't help, so I tried to move them back and got a Mac OS X error message, error -36. A panicky half hour of research later, I opened up Disk Utility and repaired some errors in the directory. That was the problem, and it was smooth sailing - and editing - from that point on.
