Caught in action!

I was in the backyard yesterday and came across this.  A Crane Fly stuck on my D. capensis.  So I HAD to get a pic of it. While I was at it, why not take a quick short movie of it struggling

  I felt sorry for the little guy afterwards.  Since he provided me with such a great photo op, I decided to free him.  So here's the pic and movie. The movie file size is about 1.2 megs.

Cool movie
 
He's not going ANY where!
 
Great movie of that, absolute perfect opportunity for a video capture.

Hey I noticed the .Mov is in Motion JPEG Video which is pretty big, I have the Sorenson Suite for MPEG-4's I could convert it to an MPEG-4 be about 450 - 500k in size at the same rez. Save you some bandwidth if you would like me to convert it.
 
Ancalagon,
Thanks, I would really appreciate that!

Rats... My player won't let me see the movie! I guess it's because I don't have QT installed.

The movie is there.  I noticed that it will open what appears to be a blank window.  Give it 20-30 seconds (depending on your connection) and it will appear.

The movie loaded fine, but I don't have the plugin to run it properly.
 
Seems some people have had problems with both the QuickTime and MPEG-4 version.  Here is one in Flash, I made it smaller so it will stream even on low bandwith (dial up) (total file size is 163k)

Wow's that's cool!

Anyway how did u convert the movie to a flash file?

Awesome! If only my D. Capensis seedlings would grow faster so they could reach the size needed to catch insects. They are only two months old, so they are still little babies.
