First of all, I want to thank everybody who's done any development on CHDK. It's an absolutely amazing piece of software
At first I got it to bypass the time limit on video since I wanted to record some of my motorcycle rides into the mountains, but then I discovered the timelapse scripts. I've always had a fascination with them for some reason, probably something to do with seeing familiar sights thru a completely different perspective.
Anyway, here's my videos, taken with an A630. I'd recommend loading them in HD if you can, they look much better.
Video 1, melting ice. 5s interval, 30fps:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3R4foKkADs#ws-hq-hdI did have a question for those who know camera hardware much better than I do. After making the first timelapse, the melting ice, I used the camera's built in "Delete All" function. The next timelapse I made ended up with a bunch of corrupt images, which you can see in the unedited version of the timelapse video here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo3uNearQRg#ws-hq-hd I even found one frame from the ice timelapse still on the card. I then formatted the card and made another one and only had one corrupt frame.
Were all those corrupt images in the 2nd timelapse due to me using the camera to delete the card vs formatting it, or could there be bigger issues? The memory card is a brand new A-DATA 16gig card. If it's just the card, then why did I only get one corrupt image the next time after formatting...but if it's due to me using the camera to delete the images rather than formatting, why did I still get one corrupt image when I did format? Or is 1 corrupt image out of ~1700 an ok number?
I'm going on vacation in a month and would like to make sure my camera and memory card are working fine, which is why I ask. I'd hate to be in the middle of nowhere only to find my card really is carp
Thanks guys, and hope you like the videos. I'll be making more, these are fun!
