Ultrasound Video Clips..............>>

LindaH Nov 06, 2005 09:59 PM

With Gray Rushin's patience and help (Thank you, Thank you, Gray) I have three video clips up on the links page of my website. I'm just learning this stuff and it's been a slow process for me. I've had to figure it out as I go.

The first clip at the top was scanned on 9/16. It is of Missy, my Motley, who just gave birth on 10/28. This clip is not very good because I still had my old video converter and I was using a USB port connection. However, you can still see the babies and make out their heads and eye sockets.

The second clip is Missy on 10/14, 14 days before giving birth. This video was transferred with a better converter and a high speed connection, but I didn't have my ultrasound screen zoomed all the way out .....stupid......stupid.....stupid..... so the picture is small....grrrrr. You can right click on the screen, after the video starts, then click on video size 200%. You lose clarity, but the picture is bigger.

The bottom clip is Samantha on 10/14, 4 days after her POS. I plan to ultrasound her again in the next day or two. I will try to get the image lighter so the ova are more clear. The dark vertical shadowy lines are Samantha's ribs. I'll try to get rid of them in the future by turning off the ultrasound's "close-up" setting. I had everything turned on here, and I should have had the "near focus" off.

I'd like to scan Samantha every couple of weeks. She's a very good girl and lays very still....so far. If she's got live babies in there, we should be able to watch them develop....and that fascinates me.

Enjoy the clips. Sorry for the mistakes I made. I'll try to do better in the future

Thanks for posting those! I had to go download Windows Media Player because I couldn't watch the clips on my Mac but it was well worth the download. Sean wants to tweak the settings on ours to what you've got yours set on to see if we can get a better picture too but that probe of yours really is pretty awesome.

Thanks,
Celia
