If you would like further confirmation of how advanced and unique Tom's work is you can do an interesting comparison with somebody else's "video" creation based it seems on a rare early recording of John Lennon paying a tribute to Buddy Holly by singing Rave On at
In fact it is not a video at all but a very simplified equivalent to our man's brilliant creations, being a rather short audio track with
perfectly still still pictures of John added to make a very pedestrian video.
there was a somewhat similar video available a while ago for which I obtained the link
from a Holly group message; and downloaded the flv file (of only 1.16MB).I converted it to the mpeg-1 format producing a much larger file (12.3MB) which I have just completed uploading to
I uploaded it as an mpeg file to check that it gets converted and stored in flash video flv format which appears to be, as confirmed by my set of gehendoe's originals as downloaded as flvs and the much larger set after conversion to mpeg-1, only a quarter to a third of the original mpg file with no obvious loss of detail or clarity.
I will download the file I just uploaded, check it is then in flv format, convert it to mpeg-1 and report back in due course
John
