OK, 2.6 sec per frame is much shorter than I was expecting, I guess the clouds were moving fairly fast!
I traced the path (in Guide8) through Canopus, just missing Sirius and it puts the possible radiant in Gemini, quite close to Northern Orion, and it is a fairly diffuse radiant I believe, so its likely to be an Orionid.
It is an unusually long path though, considering the radiant is above the horizon (hard to tell exactly though, as it is out of the field and I don't know the time of the exposures... so it may well be at the horizon). You generally only get such long paths with the radiant at the horizon, so the meteors skim through the atmosphere at a very shallow angle overhead.
