VASCM: Next Meeting Jan. 20 at Alfaro's: Pruning Workshop,

[Kevin Monahan]

I put up Part 2  of the Pruning workshop and here is the link:

I noticed when I watched Part 1 that the "High Quality" option did not  
look as good as others we have put up.  It appears that YouTube is  
migrating towards HD.  But I think we are in a
transition phase where they have not worked out the bugs yet.  I think  
the High Quality option is going away
and it will be replaced with HD if an HD video is uploaded.

I did this with Part 2 and now you have an option for Normal Quality  
or HD.  The HD quality looks great but
the playback is not quite ready for prime time, at least on some  
systems that should be able to play it.  It plays more
like a slide show on one of my computers, but in this case that might  
be fine if it allows you to see the spurs and
buds better.  I am sure YouTube will work out the kinks but it is  
probably going to take some time.
