Q1. What is the best program to use to view the movies?
 Windows Users:
 What is the best program to use to view the movies?
  Internet Explorer and Firefox can handle the Flash movies and the
  Quicktime movies but may not give you control over loop speed.  I
  have found that the
  Videolan VLC player
  can give full speed control though it is clunky to use.

 Linux Users:
 What is the best program to use to view the movies?
  The 'xine' program, in /usr/bin/xine, can loop all of the formats
  except the 'swf' format.   This gives the ability to speed up, slow
  down, go fullscreen, pause, etc.  
  I have to use the command 'unlimit stacksize' before I start my
  browser or 'xine' can crash on these big movies.
  If your machine does not have 'xine' installed, you should contact
  your system administrator.


Q2 and Q3. What software creates the images and what creates the movies?
  These images are created on a Linux box using Motion (search for
  "Linux Motion") or try this link.
  They are encoded into movies using ffmpeg.


Q4.1 What kind of camera do you use?
  I am using a Logitech QuckCam Orbit AF (2 megapixel).

Q4.2 How much does it cost?
  This camera costs only about $130.


Q5. What were the dates and sizes of the bigger images?
  The bigger images were 960x720 as opposed to 640x480.
  They were created from Jan 5 to Jan 20, 2009.


Q6. Why did you stop creating the bigger images?
  The bigger images took too long to load in movie mode for most
  people and did not fit on most laptop screens.  The Flash2 loop
  still allows for fullscreen viewing of the 640x480 images without
  much degradation of image quality.  The 640x480 size seems to be the
  best compromise for image quality and convenient usage.
