Photo Gallery and Movies

by Stephen McGroarty 2/11/2008 2:33:00 AM

Well I tried a couple of "quick" hacks to Blog Engine.NET to get it to pull my photos from my old site to this one. It looks like I might have to change the setup for the blog engine, put it in its own sub directory, and put the old one in another sub directory, then cross link them. This is not the method I wanted to go, but own well.

I guess I will keep working at it though. I mean I was able to find the information from the old site, but I need to convert it to C# to work with this project, or create a new way to pull the data from the database. I think I might go with writing parts of it from scratch and using the databases. This does kind of kill the idea of making the code portable, at least for me. Let me state that I am not some uber coder or programmer. At best I am a good system administrator. That is why this is  a hobby and a personal site.

Also if anyone knows a asp.net 2.0 photo gallery software that can work with blog engine, let me know.

If I do get a photo gallery or picture plug-in to work, I will post it here.

Another item of interest, I have been recording my weekly team meetings on my web cam. I have run into my first issue, this last week's meeting was about an hour long, the video file size came out to be around 360MB. This doesn't sound like much, and on a local network it isn't, but I need to have the files sent to another country and they are on a slower speed.
I have tried to convert the file to other video formats in hopes of lowering the file size with no luck, on a couple it actually grew in size.
The other option, that I am working on, is to break the on file into smaller parts. I have no experience with video editing so this is a new realm for me. I am however trying to do this with Windows Movie Maker, and it doesn't run on my laptop. But if anyone knows a better way, give me a shout.
