here's a link to my first pilot test of a quick and easy process to take
poor video footage (good footage is better) with good audio, and make a
widescreen high-def online streaming story that's worth watching...
it was indoors in low lighting... and there are lots of audio cracks, snaps
and pops..... it's more the process I'm interested in developing.... this is
to show it works.

in brief, the steps are:
1 - rip the audio from the captured file and put aside to add to the story
2 - assuming NTSC footage, apply a speed-up effect in Movie Maker to make
the clip(s) play 149.67857 times faster than normal... that'll be just the
right speed to be able to do frame grabs that go into Photo Story 3 at the
default of 5 second durations.... render the clip
3 - extract all frames of the rendered clip to individual BMP files
4 - distort the BMP files as PS3 doesn't have a feature to make widescreen
stories (see my Photo Story 3 > Import Pictures page)... drop them as a
batch into PS3 and save the story using a custom widescreen high-def profile
5 - put the story online.... my sample is on the mydeo service and is a
streaming file...
Now that I have the concept down pat, the next ones will look better....
this one was a test project for my current newsletter...
