The making of the Kholu during Navratri

Finally, the Kholu video is ready. Though I am fairly proficient with Video Capture and editing, it was a monumental task for me to make the video fit enough to be uploaded on youtube. Even now, the quality is pretty bad and the screen size has reduced a lot. I did a lot of research on how to upload videos to youtube but didn't get anything worthwhile.
This is what i did. I captured the video through my Sony Handycam, then transferred to my laptop in DV-AVI ( I always use DV-AVI because it provides the most details for editing), then did lot of editing. Youtube prefers a DivX codec AVI. So, i installed DivX and then tried to export the DivX format from Adobe Premiere, but youtube wouldn't accept it. Last resort, i exported it in plain AVI mode and then uploaded to youtube. But, I am not satisfied with the end result.
Anyway, enjoy the making of the Kholu video. About the video: I took this when we had the kholu during the navaratri festival. You might prefer muting the volume, as i have kept the original volume while speeding up the video. I felt that it complemented the video, but you might not like the screeches! Check out the photos of the final Kholu here.

Hi, friend
Navratri is a Hindu festival of worship and dance. The word Navaratri literally means

nine nights in Sanskrit; Nava - Nine and Ratri - nights. During these nine nights and

ten days, nine forms of Shakti female divinity are worshipped .The 9 nights festival

of Navratri begins on the first day of Ashwina of the bright fortnight.
