Bastard Hornets

Honey Bees is the only bee I like, mainly cause they generally won't bother you unless you step on them or invade there hive. And unlike a lot of bees they don't build nests all over your yard and stuff.

Those are some big fucking hornets.

Jeez, that's crazy.

Hornets are cool though, they don't really bother you unless, like above mentioned, you bother them. I know from experience thought that their sting hurts like hell in comparsion to other bees/wasps etc.

wow those shots are very impressive, I wish I could save that video to my computer, but its just a stream isn't it.

Wish it was higher quality. Cool video though.

Reminded me of someone. Has anyone ever seen Honeybee's "Bake" invaders? Japanese honey bees developed a strategy to kill invading wasps (I'm not sure if they kill honeybees for the same reason as hornets) where the bees simply swarm on the wasp and hold onto it, and eventually the humidity kills it.. Something like that.

You can record video streams to your hard drive.

Dr. Divx converts the file to Divx format, it also (or atleast I think) makes the quality a little better.

Converting from one lossy video format to another will only reduce the quality.

Thanks for saving me from stating the obvious in a second thread.

Just wondering.. but.. how could you improve quality ? The quality of a file is as is. You can convert, and maybe compress keeping that same quality if you do it right. But you can hardly improve it much.

You can do things like apply filters and hand tune crappy looking video to make it look better. "Image enhancement", ya know. Simply converting it from one lossy format to another will NOT make it look better though, obviously.
