Skiing

Yesterday went to Arette
(in the Atlantic Pyrenees region of France) for some skiing action, after having been waiting for
almost 8
months
. I thought I had forgotten how to ski, but no, I hadn’t, so had a great
time, while using more features of my new camera. Yesterday, we recorded a few videos
of Yolanda and me skiing. They are great, only a couple of bugs:
first, neither Totem (with Xine backend) nor gstreamer does support the format recorded
by the camera (Video codec ‘motion jpeg format’), fortunately mplayer does; second, you can’t
use the optical zoom while recording video.
