ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHIC EQUIPMENT

Nick Martorano's professional underwater imaging systems include a Sony Z1U High Definition videocamera in a Light & Motion Bluefin HD housing, a Sony PD100 DVCAM videocamera in a Light & Motion Bluefin 900 housing, H.I.D. SunRay lights and assorted lenses. Other Sony and Canon High Definition videocameras are also used, for topside shots.


ABOUT THE VIDEOCLIPS
All of the videoclips featured on this site are in Mpeg4 format. Digital videoclips take up a lot of space, therefore the clips on this page are a very compressed and smaller-size version of the much crisper original high definition video.

Streaming a clip (Best for DSL/Cable connections)
To stream a clip in real time onto your computer, simply click on its picture, and wait for the file to automatically stream onto your computer. You can view the streaming video with either QuickTime, Windows Media Player or RealPlayer.

Downloading and Saving a clip (Best for 5 slow connections)
AFTER you've watched a movie, just RIGHT CLICK on it and choose "Save as".
To download and save a clip, right-click on its picture or its title, and choose "Save
Link As..". A dialog box will ask you where you want to save the file. The rest
should be familiar to you. Once the file has been downloaded onto your hard disk,
you can view it using either Quicktime, Windows Media Player or RealPlayer.


To upload a videoclip onto your iPod:
AFTER you're done watching a film, right-click on it (control-click if Mac user), and choose "Save As Source ". Save it onto your desktop. Open iTunes, click the File menu, and choose "Import", Choose the video file you just saved onto your desktop. Connect your video-iPod to your computer, and the movie will be automatically uploaded to your iPod.
