iPhone X videos

My grand daughter gave me an iPhone X and although it’s great I’m not taking as many good pictures as my last phone did. Now I have an issue with the accepted file ending for videos- the forum doesn’t accept the video direct from my phone. Is there a particular app that I can download so I can upload my video. I’m an old relic and not particularly computer literate so need an easy explanation please if anyone can help. I can easily upload my photos so its only the video extension that is the problem.

Try sending a video to me direct [email protected] and I will have a look, though I am not very computer savvy myself, but I have time to play about and maybe learn something new!

Like you, I was given an iphone by my niece, it is in a draw in case of emergency, landline cut off etc, I'm not a fan........

I don't think you can add video directly to this site, Jpeg is photo, my bad!

Others that have put videos on here have attached a link to a HOST site where the video is stored, youtube, facebook etc. I assume because file sizes for video storgage is usualy very large?

I don't know whether you have a host site where you keep photos on the internet, if you do then I think you just copy and paste the link into the posting?

Ok thanks Simon . I use Dropbox but I’ve tried to send from there but it didn’t work. For now I will just take pictures

The file attachment on that other post was a .MOV, but it shouldn't matter anyway as it is only a link so plays on dropbox when you click on the link and has nothing to do with the SKF website!

Click on the link to the post above and then click on the link in the thread to see how it should work, but as we all know with these machines it rarely works properly??

I’ve been trying to find what my actual file extension for the video is. I also checked and the amount of mb of the file is very large so I would need to take smaller videos this one is just over a minute and 59 mb I think . I might go back to my trusty Nikon camera and try . I’m sure I’ve used that for videos or failing that I could go back to my older phone . 
Poh well it will give me something to play with next week.

 Thanks for trying Simon.

The file extension on the email you sent me was .MOV, it was 19MB and 1 minute. It mmay be too high resolution so you could try a lesser resolution on the iphone? If you click on settings and scroll down to camera and click on record video and pick a lower resolution (ie my lowest is 720p). Your iphone I expect is much nnewer than mine so it may be a little different? Have a bash................

It’s definitely to do with the file extension name . I changed the settings to 720 but it still isn’t acceptable. I don’t think I can change the extension. It’s just what my iPhone names the videos.

You are right that you cannot change the file extension on the phone. Bit weird though as the other post used dropbox with .MOV and it worked? You are trying to copy/paste the link are you, not the file?

Sounds like you need an "Iphone video to MP4" converter.

Lots of free apps to do that if you just google that phrase above.

I have found the setting on my phone actually already have a format that I can use that will make the video acceptable . So tomorrow I will try a new video. Thanks guys amazing what old mr google can tell you once you know what to ask

Well unfortunately that didn’t work either. I’ve tried the apps but the MP4 format wasn’t accepted. I will just have to take pictures for now and maybe look for my older phone or Nikon camera if I just really want a video. For now I will just get back to shrimp ?

I don't think any video formats are listed on the attachments so I think you have to do a link. If you sed me the link to the dropbox video I will have a go, I have a few ideas????? I will be out of ideas after that though..............

I tried MPEG last night and WebM but they wouldn't download either?

OK, look forward to seeing photos! I have the video, watched it again this morning, but I would need the actual dropbox link to it to go any further, I don't use a HOST service otherwise I could put it on mine and go from there?

I’m not sure how to link it. I’m not very computer literate.

I sent a link to your Gmail. Hope it’s what you need. I’m surprising myself finding out “stuff” LOL

I think you have it sussed now, try clicking on the attached link (unchanged from the one you sent me) and if it works then that is what you do in future!

What a fantastic mixture you have!

Simon

Simon when I click on the link it takes me to my Dropbox account and I can see my other files. Will other people see them too? Did you only see the video or the rest of my pictures too if it gives access to all my pictures then I need to remove the link

I clicked on it and it only shows that video, you can probably see more as that site is linked to whatever products/devices you use! It does say login on the right but obviously only you know that, so it is quite safe.

You may want to start another thread to put your videos on so you don't have all this attached!

Simon

ps I can delete the above link if you want me too and you feel better/safer?

      Update to say that after a few gravel vacs, front wall scrub, moss / floating plant trim, that the condition seems to have improved.  My current theory is that it is due to waste / debris management, where "stuff" like that brown mulm accumulates in the substrate and behind the HMF filters.  Maybe some tanks can somehow deal with it, but mine can't.  Also another experienced shrimper suggested that maybe those "shell bugs" don't just live on the shrimps but also in this debris.  Maybe this is the reason some tanks fail due to "old tank syndrome" where all they need is a good gravel vac? Also, I am guessing that plant trim helps too because now more of the nutrients and light go into growing algae instead of more plants? Well anyway for this tank I will try weekly water change and monthly gravel vac / plant trim.  For my next tank, I'm thinking of something like an under-gravel system where this mulm can fall down and I vac it out.

      Good to have an update and good to hear you are getting shrimplets, so hopefully your colony will continue and you may not get to the point where you have to cull some to stop over population. These type of shrimp only live 12 - 18 months so the adult deaths may be natural? If you have the time I would do weekly 25% water changes, adding the new water via a drip system and do some vacuuming clean of the substrate each week, even if only a different bit each week! See if that helps in a few months and if it does then stick with that regime? It should help reduce any build-ups that may be occuring!

      Hello again, much belated update: The tank still has "cycles" of 1-2 month "good streaks" where everybody seems to be doing well, and then a bad streak where the short antenna problem shows up again, and a shrimp dies once every few days.  I am not sure what causes things to go bad, but usually over the course of a few days I will start to see more shrimp quietly standing on the HMF filter, and so I know something is wrong.  Since I am not "doing anything" besides the regular 1-2 week water changes, I just assume that something bad is building up.  Here's a list of things that I've tried that are supposed to be "can't hurt" but didn't prevent the problem either: Dose every other day with Shrimp Fit (very small dose, and the shrimp seem to like it) Sotching Oxydator Seachem Purigen to keep the nitrates lower Keeping the pH below 5.5 with peat Things that I don't do often, so could possibly "reset" the tank back to a good streak, are gravel vac and plant trim, so maybe time to try those again. One other problem I used to have was that sometimes a shrimp would suddenly stop eating with a full or partially full digestive tract that doesn't clear out, and then the shrimp will die within a few days.  I suspected it was one of the foods in my rotation - Shrimp Nature Infection, which contains a bunch of herbal plant things.  I've had this in my food rotation for a few years now and generally didn't seem to cause problems, but I removed it from the rotation anyway.  I don't have a lot of adult Golden Bees at this point so I can't really tell if it worked or not. Overall the tank is not too bad - during the good streaks occasionally a shrimp will get berried and hatch babies with a 33-50% survival rate.  So while there are fewer adults now, there are also a bunch of babies roaming around.  I guess this tank will stagger on, but I really do need to take the time to start up a new tank.  (or figure out the problem)

      If that is the offspring, then the parents are unlikely to be PRL. I tend to agree with you. There are very few PRLs in Australia. And any that claim to be needs to show proof. PRL genes have to start as PRL. CRS that breed true after x generations doesn't turn it into a PRL. Neither can a Taiwan bee shrimp turn into a PRL despite how ever many generations. I've never seen a PRL with that sort of red colour. I have on Red Wines and Red Shadows - Taiwan bee shrimps. So somewhere down the line one of your shrimp might have been mixed with Taiwan bees and is no longer PRL. It just tanks one shrimp to mess up the genes of a whole colony.

      Sorry, missed this one somehow! The PRL look fantastic and the odd ones look part PRL and part Red wine/Red shadow in the colour. They are still very beautiful but ideally should be seperated to help keep the PRL clean if you can do that.  Nice clear photos!
