Oh my god, Stan...

One of my favorite Karen Walker moments, so I captured it for you.




(I wonder why my videos on YouTube often look very distorted (like solarization) in the first couple of seconds. I don't see it with others' videos.)

  1. One of my favorite lines from that show was when Karen was really sad about something and Will's line to her was.."Awww. Do you need a shoulder to drink on?"

    I have one friend who constantly uses that line whenevere I go to her with a problem. I'd be annoyed but she always has both drink and a shoulder at the ready for my use.

    You cut from the middle of a GOP. So there's no I-frame to draw the complete picture when your program starts.

    You need to cut from a GOP boundary.

  3. I have never submitted anything to YouTube and don't know much about its operation, but I am wondering why it doesn't sense the above issue and discard the few seconds of incomplete frames until the first complete I-frame in the clip?

    Could it be that after cutting (from the middle of a GOP) you somehow convert/process your MPEG stream, losing the original frame data and rendering the few secs of incomplete frames into a new innocent looking full GOP?

  4. Could be.
    I use QT Player to edit the video. But if I just save it after cutting out bits, the file does not get smaller, for some reason. So I Export into a new MPEG file.
