Video of new watch

So I picked up a new watch this weekend. It was one of those 'shiny shiny, neat, cool' guy moments that are the one reason I can't rib my wife about her attraction to shoes, purses, etc.

I bought it at a shopping channel outlet store at a significant reduction from the hideously inflated 'on-air' price that no sane person would pay, This means I got it for what would be considered a normal price in any other store.

Anyway, I thought it would be a good test subject for a video project. I took a few seconds of video of the front and back with my still camera, converted the .MOV file to .AVI, and used AVISynth and VirtualDub to create a side-by-side compressed video. The first part did not take long at all, and I've had VirtualDub for a while. It was figuring out how to use AVISynth to get VirtualDub to do the side-to-side part that took over an hour.

So without further ado, my new toy.
