Hi Doron,
Please describe links that you send to the list.

Without a description, everyone has to click the link to figure out 
what it is.

** This link goes to a QuickTime video of the CBS report. **

Great Job!
Check out my article with embedded video at FutureMedia. I have links  
to the websites of all the parties involved including Les Moonves,  
the chair of CBS who, it turns out, is in the Wikipedia. Links to  
Andrew, Amanda, and Zadi Diaz’s as well as the CBS page for Jim  
Axelrod. 11 links in my story including the Ambrosia Software site of  
the software used to make the quicktime version. I learned from Chuck  
Olsen how to make the QT movie (I have the same software Snapz Pro X  
2.0.2, he used) and then made another one myself with better audio  
and a CBS News cover frame. Thanks Chuck. You all are free to use it  
instead if you like it better.

Because of the links, re-recording and editing that CBS piece in  
Final Cut Pro 4.5 and the embedded video, it took me all weekend to  
get that one small post done.

Does anyone know how to keep the vertical correct when you take a  
piece through FCP? Chuck and I both lost about 20 vertical pixels in  
the process. Note the black bars above and below the video in the  
normal 240 high frame. The original Snapz Pro X recording does not  
have those bars. The video is slightly squished vertically. I would  
love to know the work around to get rid of this.

Anyone?

Yes that is correct David with XLR connectors etc. The advantage over
the original is size and weight about HALF the first model. Much
better for undercover and field work. Still real HDV. BYW just a note
- these cameras are not HD cameras. They are HDV cameras. They shoot
NATIVE 1920 x 1080i HDV and when you dumb that footage down to our
internet level it is going to look FANTASTIC! I have access to the
original model as soon as he stops working with it and will be
posting examples of HDV sourced video soon.

If you subscribe to MacTV on iTunes he already posted an HDV shoot of
the Apple Intel Mac announcement in HDV and it looks FANTASTIC!! Go
look. It's up there for the taking.

I would always ask the Chuckmeister [EMAIL PROTECTED] at

He makes it his business to know. And he has arrangements with

bookmark his site for the latest info on what's next and new from Japan.

 Is there a definitive characteristic that is exclusive to all blogs?
I'm not 
 sure.

As an information architect obsessed with categorization, I have to
chime in :)

There is no definitive characteristic that is exclusive to all blogs.
It is a category with fuzzy boundaries, as we say.

Many categories have fuzzy boundaries. Take mother. How can we
classify something as a mother? Is there a list of defining
characteristics? Not really. Given birth? Not really, how about a
person whose child was adopted. Yet we still call her a mother. Taking
care of a child? Not really, how about someone who gave birth but
doesn't take care of the child. And so on. Yet, we all know when
someone is a mother and when they're not. It just doesn't work by
using in/out criteria. 

The discussion of trying to define blogging in terms of a list of
checkboxes we can check of to determine this is fruitless.

Cheers,
Peter

Peter is exactly right. Like almost all natural language words, "blog"
it is defined heuristically, not synthetically. (And that's indicated
by the semantic drift the term has enjoyed since 1997.) There is no
clearcut blogness test, but there is a list of blog characteristics,
and blogness is proportional to the number of them exhibited. RSS feeds
and trackbacks are certainly on that list.

Many categories have fuzzy boundaries. Take mother. How can we
classify something as a mother?

Actually, a mother seems to me to be a female that has given birth and/or 
has taken legal guardianship of a child. Of course there are breakdowns to 
this as well: birth mother, adoptive mother, etc. But certainly not all 
women are mothers. However, if I am reading your post correctly it seems to 
me you may have blurred the line betweenn a definition and word usage, e.g. 
The Mother Of All Wars is not literally a mother -- same with a woman who

If we are to agree that the definition of blog is nebulous at best, just

[videoblogging] Mustek DV3000 opinions? Other inexpensive hybrids to consider?

2005-08-22 Thread ecomputerd




Does anyone have any opinions on the Mustek DV3000? Or similar video 
camera under US$150 ?

I'm thinking of using it for taking video mounted on a bicycle as well 
as handing it out to family members to take video and upload to vlog 
for a family-only videoblog.

Things I like? AA Batteries, reportedly long battery life (6+ hours), 
records to SD card, video direct out.

Requirements: video around 320x240 pixel size, 15-30 fps, raw format 
viewable on Pocket PC and desktop Windows PC, SD card a plus/Compact 
Flash okay, standard tripod mount, USB Mass Storage Device a plus.

Hmmm I am not sure that I'd agree that "blog" is defined
heuristically 
-- and if that were so, perhaps now it does mean all websites. Though, 
perhaps you could be more clear in what you mean (I think either you
have 
the wrong word or I have the wrong definition). To me heuristically is
like 
trial and error; solving a problem through discovery.
  

Your search for clarity is exactly the issue here. I can empathize with
the desire, but natural language will simply not permit it.


As far as semantic drift is concerned, couldn't it have drifted enough
to 
mean all websites? 

No. It simply hasn't and I daresay it never will. However it's quite
possible that, increasingly, most new websites heretofore will
be blogs.

And how are we to chart the drift if no initial 
definition exists to serve as a starting point?

I gave you the initial definition and a canonical prototype: Robot
Wisdom.

 And no current one is 
available either. Perhaps I am wrong, but I am under the impression the
  
definitions I've seen recently are up-to-date.
  
  
There is no
clearcut blogness test, but there is a list of blog characteristics,
and blogness is proportional to the number of them exhibited. RSS
feeds
and trackbacks are certainly on that list.
  
Yes, so is text, but again, just because a website has RSS and
trackbacks 
and text doesn't make it a blog, does it? And if it is missing RSS and 
trackbacks, does that mean it cannot a blog?
  

You've ignored what's been said here. "Blog" and "Mother" are sets of
stereotypical characteristics. Is item X a blog or a mother? The answer
is provided by the heuristic of checking off how many of those defining
characteristics are exhibited by X. The result of these processes are a
blogness score and a motherness score. Here you give several (or all)
of the defining characteristics of motherness:


Actually, a mother seems to me to be a
female that has given birth and/or 
has taken legal guardianship of a child. Of course there are breakdowns
to 
this as well: birth mother, adoptive mother, etc. But certainly not all
  
women are mothers. However, if I am reading your post correctly it
seems to 
me you may have blurred the line betweenn a definition and word usage,
e.g. 
The Mother Of All Wars is not literally a mother -- same with a woman
who 
cares for someone or something like it were her child. A mothering 
relationship doesn't seem to necessarily make a woman a mother.
  



If we are to agree that the definition of blog is nebulous at best,
just 
like the definition of art. Then that, to me, means two things: 1) we
will 
never be able to define what a vlog is, and 2) just as art is a
subjective 
term, it is perfectly legitimate for someone to interpret "blog" as
just 
another word for website (which, again, I don't necessarily agree with).
  

The term "art" is notoriously nebulous as its definition has been under
concentrated attack by wave after wave of philosophers, critics, and
"artists". Most words have not had to endure such brutal levels of
definitional abuse.

[videoblogging] SocialSWF: New Service at OPEN4ALL.INFO

2005-08-22 Thread Drazen Pantic




swf.open4all.info

Clips from movie sections at del.icio.us are ranked according to
number of blog posts with direct links to them (checked via
Technorati). The number of occurrences for each clip at del.icio.us
and the number of linking blog posts at Technorati are then taken as
the input to produce a popularity rank for each clip. After
probabilistic analysis - consisting of a test to confirm that sample
distribution is consistent with exponential distribution - top 80% of
most popular clips are selected.

Selected clips are then downloaded and transcoded on the fly to Flash
(SWF) format. MPlayer and FFmpeg are used to test, download and
convert clips from any format to Flash SWF. The list and clips
repository refresh twice per day ...

I have the AV420, which does a smashing good job capturing video into the AVI format. I 
used this to capture some Current.TV (link: http://blog.ericrice.com/blog/_archives/

I've yet to watch video on it, since I think it is VERY strict in what file formats/codecs are 
used. I had difficulty in the past, so perhaps I should try again.

RE: [videoblogging] OT: Taxonomy (was:Claudio's figuring it out (was: Your oldest vlog entry))

2005-08-22 Thread David Yirchott




Hmmm I am not sure that I'd agree that blog is defined
heuristically
-- and if that were so, perhaps now it does mean all websites. Though,
perhaps you could be more clear in what you mean (I think either you
have
the wrong word or I have the wrong definition). To me heuristically is
like
trial and error; solving a problem through discovery.

Your search for clarity is exactly the issue here. I can empathize with
the desire, but natural language will simply not permit it.


Charles, if you don't know, just say you don't know. ;)

Seriously, while the psycholinguistic autopsy is interesting, I think we've 
gone a bit off track. I think the initial idea is just that there is no 
agreed upon definition of what a blog is -- and insofar as I can tell, we 
agree on that.

However, I think you believe that to be the case due to a failure of natural 
language (isn't the vast majority -- virtually all save for base words such 
as ma [which many suggest is the sound an infant mimicking suckling makes] 
and onomatopoeia -- of language unnatural?) whereas I question whether there 
are any defining characteristics.

I do find it interesting that at the same time you claim there can not be a 
definition, you are adamant that it has to have RSS and trackbacks.



As far as semantic drift is concerned, couldn't it have drifted enough
to
mean all websites?


No. It simply hasn't and I daresay it never will. However it's quite
possible that, increasingly, most new websites heretofore will
be blogs.


I am curious how you know that semantic drift simply has not rendered blog 
as another word for website. And what seperates the new websites that are 
blogs from those that are not? Are you suggesting that *any* new website 
with periodic posts and an RSS feed *is* a blog?


And how are we to chart the drift if no initial
definition exists to serve as a starting point?


I gave you the initial definition and a canonical prototype: Robot
Wisdom.


The initial definition you gave me was:
The term used to mean, very specifically, a periodic list of interesting 
links found on the web. The prototypical example remains Robot Wisdom. These 
days it is synonymous with the common features shared between several 
widely-used applications: periodic posts, rss, trackback pings.

A list of intersting links found on the web sounds sort of like the Google 
example. The rest of it seems to indicate that a blog is not synonymous with 
a website that has periodic posts but no RSS. That will confuse many people 
who consider themselves legitimate bloggers, I think.

If you respond to this post, I'd love to see your answers to:
1) Can a website with periodic personal posts, but no RSS or trackbacks be a 
blog?
2) What if it has periodic posts and RSS, but no trackbacks?
3) What if it is a television station website with periodically posted news 
stories and an RSS feed?
4) How often is periodic? If someone fails to update their blog in two 
weeks, does it stop being a blog?

Wikipedia's entry for blog seems to claim RSS and trackbacks aren't 
necessary, for what it is worth. Also, it seems strange to me that something 
that cannot be described has technical requirements like RSS and trackbacks: 
content cannot be pinned down, look cannot be pinned down, ownership 
requirements cannot be pinned down, but it must have trackbacks?



 And no current one is
available either. Perhaps I am wrong, but I am under the impression the
definitions I've seen recently are up-to-date.


 There is no
 clearcut blogness test, but there is a list of blog characteristics,
 and blogness is proportional to the number of them exhibited. RSS
feeds
 and trackbacks are certainly on that list.


If there is a useful list of blog characteristics, shouldn't that equal a 
clearcut blogness test? Anyway, the true problem is that none of the items 
on the list you've given is 1) required for a blog or 2) exclusive to a 
blog.

Are all current blogs without RSS not full blogs?

I have a new blog.
That's not a blog! It's only a 75% blog!

What would the other 25% be considered? What if a site scored 50%? At what 
level does one have a legitimate blog?



Yes, so is text, but again, just because a website has RSS and
trackbacks
and text doesn't make it a blog, does it? And if it is missing RSS and
trackbacks, does that mean it cannot a blog?


You've ignored what's been said here. Blog and Mother are sets of
stereotypical characteristics. Is item X a blog or a mother? The answer
is provided by the heuristic of checking off how many of those defining
characteristics are exhibited by X. The result of these processes are a
blogness score and a motherness score.


Sure, the list checking is perception. But I've not heard anything that 
would disqualify a site as a blog. No RSS? No trackbacks? I think many 
people would disagree with that. I've only heard three things that would 
qualify it as a blog: periodic posts, RSS, and trackbacks. Those are 
increasingly common

David Yirchott wrote:

Can such a list be "clearcut" when items can have some of the
qualities and not all of them?

Anyway, the true problem is that none of the items 
on the list you've given is 1) required for a blog or 2) exclusive to a
  
blog.
  

That's how it is with most definitions as well. Do you think
"blog" is more ill-defined than "mother"? 


Are all current blogs without RSS not full blogs?
  

I'm still waiting to hear of these "many" blogs that aren't
running RSS + trackbacks. What is their number compared to those that
do? Remember, these words are description of reality, not axiomatic
constructs. If the vast majority of websites called "blogs" start using
a background color of #d5691a, that will become one of the defining
characteristics of blogs. 


"I have a new blog."
"That's not a blog! It's only a 75% blog!"
  
What would the other 25% be considered? What if a site scored 50%? At
what 
level does one have a legitimate blog?
  

At precisely the dividing line between Industrial and Techno, or when a
painting is considered Cubist, or a puppy becomes a dog.

Re: [videoblogging] node 101 + flash conference

2005-08-22 Thread ryanne hodson




hey thanks for the shout out mariah!

i wont be able to attend the vid conference tomorrow
due to prior videoblogging engagements (i kid you not)

but i just wanted to say that what we want Node101 to be is like the
new (and way better) public access.
giving people access and knowledge about how to create and view media.
we believe that teaching and spreading this medium is the best way to
get the most diverse creators and conversations going.

as a collective of 4 (jay, josh, verdi and i) 
we've taught at a total of 20 institutions and conferences
not to mention at dozens of folks homes/jobs on an indivdual basis

this is an organization ment to empower people.
and include people.
the reason we called it node101 was so we could have several nodes
throughout the world who are teaching and spreading the info.

our dream is to teach individuals, and importantly, teach teachers who
will go back and teach more people.

just a background.
yes we need resources, space, equipment and money for people's time.

thanks for starting the conversation mariah and markus

[videoblogging] NYT article On $$$ for Bloggers Who Take Ads

2005-08-22 Thread Gena




I got this article link via Media Bistro:

NICHE FILMS APPEAL WITH ADS ON NICHE BLOGS (NYT)
Film companies are taking out ads on smaller sites and blogs, hoping
to generate interest among niche audiences for films like The Constant
Gardener and The Aristocrats.
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/22/technology/22blog.html

It seems to be an open article - no password required but I don't know
how long that will last. Here is an interesting extract:

Seth Godin, an author and speaker on marketing, said that Focus was
clearly ahead of the curve in seeking an audience based on online
behavior. Mr. Godin cited a report from comScore Media Metrix, saying
that blog readers visit almost twice as many Web pages as the average
Internet user. We know that people visiting a blog are more likely to
take action he said, to click on a link or buy online.

In particular, the ads for The Constant Gardener seem to seek out
people who distrust multinational corporations. The banner contains
the taglines The corruption is contagious and The conspiracy is
global, and links to the film's Web site, where snippets of dialogue
about payoffs, cover-ups, unmarked graves can be heard in the
trailer. 

I know we have various feelings about this - I got a couple of waves
of quezy just reading the about paragraph. Not because of the money
but of taking a (well founded) distrust and spinning it into a movie
ticket sale.

But read the article first before you hurl invectives in either
direction.

Jen Simmons wrote:
Now all you have to do is define what a blog is.
Some would argue it is just another name for website.

-David
 
 I wouldn't be one of those people.
 
 I started building websites in 1998. I started building blogs in 2002. 
 There's a big difference between the way a static html-based site works 
 and blogging technology (using some sort of third party software that 
 creates pages for you and automatically archives, moving older content 
 off the home page without being asked.)

I started a weblog in 1997, before the term 'blog' even existed. 
Actually, I don't even thing the word 'weblog' was really used then either.

Many of the early weblogs were static html, but they were updated often 
(sometimes every single day!) and eventually 'permalinks' were 
considered *very* important for weblogs, so you could actually link to a 
single post, instead of just a page, and the concept of a 'front page of 
 many posts with permalinks' was how it worked.

While many weblogs were static html, plenty of us used tools to generate 
the html and then automatically upload it to the web.


 To me, the revolutionary thing about the invention of the blog is in 
 the ease of the technology -- making it so very much easier to keep a 
 site always changing, always current -- especially for those of us 
 who've always built sites as a one-person team (not a huge site with a 
 staff / with programmers there to write custom backend aps) Of 
 course it's always been technologically possible to update a website 
 often using static html, but the human-power-reality of the amount of 
 time it took to constantly post new pages by hand meant it didn't 
 happen nearly as much as I wanted. I would have never dreamed seven 
 years ago of updating as often as I do now, or of running as many sites 
 as I do now, or of those sites being as large and as complicated as 
 they are now. In the past, I was always stuck being the only person who 
 had the tech-know-how to make any changes. Now I can build a blog into 
 my client's page, teach them the interface, and let them be responsible 
 for all the news and announcements -- leave me out of it!

The funny thing is, I think it was actually easier/quicker to update my 
weblog in 1997. I just ran a menu command in Frontier, typed in some 
text, and ran another menu command. Of course I had to be sitting at my

2005-08-22 Thread David Yirchott




Charles,
I was rather hoping you'd respond to:

If you respond to this post, I'd love to see your answers to:
1) Can a website with periodic personal posts, but no RSS or trackbacks be 
a blog?
2) What if it has periodic posts and RSS, but no trackbacks?
3) What if it is a television station website with periodically posted news 
stories and an RSS feed?
4) How often is periodic? If someone fails to update their blog in two 
weeks, does it stop being a blog?



David Yirchott wrote:
If there is a useful list of blog characteristics, shouldn't that equal
a
clearcut blogness test?


Can such a list be clearcut when items can have some of the
qualities and not all of them?

If you have a list of characteristics, shouldn't you end up with a clearcut 
answer? If you cannot, then I would suggest that the list isn't good enough. 
Or there is no differentiation to be found.



Anyway, the true problem is that none of the items
on the list you've given is 1) required for a blog or 2) exclusive to a
blog.


That's how it is with most definitions as well. Do you think
blog is more ill-defined than mother?

I disagree that most definitions fail in the same way. Also, I think we can 
both agree that blog is not as defined as mother. Things required for 
mother: female. Things exclusive to mother: has given birth; has taken legal 
guardianship of a child.



Are all current blogs without RSS not full blogs?

I'm still waiting to hear of these many blogs that aren't
running RSS + trackbacks. What is their number compared to those that
do? Remember, these words are description of reality, not axiomatic
constructs. If the vast majority of websites called blogs start using
a background color of #d5691a, that will become one of the defining
characteristics of blogs.

This isn't about majority. This is about definition. The exception disproves 
the rule. If any blogs do not have RSS, then blog by definition cannot 
require RSS. It is like saying that the Toyota Camry is the most prevalent 
car, therefore a car by definition is required to be a Toyota Camry.



I have a new blog.
That's not a blog! It's only a 75% blog!

What would the other 25% be considered? What if a site scored 50%? At
what
level does one have a legitimate blog?



At precisely the dividing line between Industrial and Techno, or when a
painting is considered Cubist, or a puppy becomes a dog.


Ah, at a virtually indefinable moment it becomes a virtually indefinable 
entity called a blog. I see.

So, to recap:

Blog cannot be defined
Blogs have characteristics
Those characteristics are not neither unique to blogs nor possessed by all 
blogs
There is a checklist by which to check if a site is a blog
There are -- as far as I can tell -- three criteria on that list upon which 
to judge blogness
At an immeasurable point a site may slip below or achieve blogness

Which, I suppose, sort of puts us back to the beginning. So, blog is 
either indefinable because it is:

1) Infinite and awesome and our tiny human brains and our petty language 
cannot begin to describe it. Like God, some might say.

2) Non-existent. Like God, some might say.

So therefore, either way blog=God. Perhaps we should end this here and go 
worship our possibly non-existent master. :)

Steve, 
All of those videos are related to that one website, so I just kept entering the same

there won't be much else to reference where they came from than the metatag.

RE: [videoblogging] dot tv

2005-08-22 Thread David Yirchott




As a General rule, .com is the best. No question. It is the default and much 
more memorable.

That's not to say people aren't successful with .org .net .info etcetera. 
You just have to be prepared that most people you tell your URI to are 
likely going to visit the .com first.

Between a .org.uk or .tv, as a lazy American I'd prefer the .tv as I would 
be more likely to remember it.

And I wouldn't worry too much about the whole TV thing, afterall it doesn't 
really stand for television it stands for Tuvalo. Anyway, the association 
with television may help people remember it.

hi Starfire,

 I personally favor .tv as far as vlogging goes. the odds of 
getting a shorter, more memorable domain are higher with .tv.

 the downside is that .tv domains are much more expensive 
compared to .com, .net, etc. I use GoDaddy, they are the cheapest at 
$34.95/year for a .tv domain.

cheers,

need to render the clips even though I've matched the codec/video and

Any ideas why this is happening?

Re: [videoblogging] fcp timeline settings

matching your codec and timeline as close as possible
doesnt cut it in FCP
it has to be exact, down to the aspect ratio and fps for your timeline
to not have to render.

there is no way to automate this that i know of
i always have to match it manually
and rarely (happened once) have i been able to make a good enough
match to not have to render the whole thing before exporting.

verdi has developed a droplet for your desktop from compressor
to convert to full dv to import into FCP
full dv is FCPs native format which it responds to the best

Re: [videoblogging] fcp timeline settings

2005-08-22 Thread Michael Verdi




Ok, here's the deal. You can set up a sequence preset that matches 
your source video so that you can edit without rendering. That 
sequence preset can be saved and even set as default if you want so 
that every time you make a new sequence it's this custom thing you 
set up. There are a couple of problems. As Ryanne mentioned, it has 
to be exact - fps, codec, codec quality, pixel aspect ratio, etc etc. 
or you'll have to render. Another problem that we've seen, at least 
with mpeg4 video, is crazy and annoying playback problems, ie video 
won't update but sound plays, random green blocks, and more. It 
seems to just be a display problem but it makes editing a pain in the 
ass. As far as I know, making a sequence preset works in all 
versions of FCP as long as it supports the codec you're working with.

So the Compressor droplet:
If you open up Compressor (I've tested this on version 1  2) and 
click the presets button you can create a QuickTime preset that 
matches the default DV sequence preset in FCP. Once you've created 
that, there is a button to click that will turn it into a 
droplet (a mini application) that you can save wherever you'd 
like. Then you can take your non-DV clips and just drop a whole 
bunch of them on the droplet and it will launch the Batch Monitor and 
transcode everything to DV. Then you can import those files and edit 
in FCP without rendering. When you start with small mpeg 4 clips, 
convert to DV, edit, recompress to mpeg4 again (at a decent bit rate 
- 700kbits/sec +) you will notice very little difference from the 
original clips.
So here are the settings:

Encoder Tab:
File Format: QuickTime Movie

Video Settings:
Compression Type: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
Frame Rate: 29.97
Key Frames: All
Compressor Quality: Medium
Scan Mode: Interlaced
Aspect Ratio: 4:3
Data Rate: Automatic

Sound Settings:
Format: Linear PCM
Channels: Stereo (L R)
Rate 48.000 kHz
Sample Rate Converter Settings: Quality: Normal
Linear PCM Settings: Sample Size: 16 bits

Streaming: None

Geometry Tab:
Frame Size: 720 X 480
Pixel Aspect: NTSC CCIR 601/DV
Constrain to display aspect: None

That's all there is to it! :) Of course this will be in the book 
with lots of pretty screen shots.

BTW, I've tested this with system 10.3, QT 6, FCP 4  4.5, Compressor 1
System 10.4, QT 7, FCP 4.5, Compressor 1
System 10.4, QT 7, FCP 5, Compressor 2

RE: [videoblogging] dot tv

2005-08-22 Thread Steven Livingstone










I was in the same position last week. I just
went for .TV. I kinda like the sound of it anyway - a differentiator from the
usual .com  Id just make sure the name you use as part of the
domain is quite easy to remember (so they dont have to remember it is
some weird name AND .TV).

Subject: [videoblogging] dot tv





I'm considering a new domain for myself for my Vlogging ventures.
The 
only suffixes available for the name I want are
.org.uk or .tv.

I kinda like the sound of .tv but vlogging is not
TV. I suppose I 
could keep brainstorming names and find a .com out
there that I like 
but I really wanna use a certain domain name.

And with everybody getting content through a feed
now days how 
important is a name? Is dot com the best?

Thoughts, ideas?

thanks.

[videoblogging] FLV RSS feeds available

2005-08-22 Thread Eric Rice




This will probably be of interest to anyone who makes aggregator software, but since our 
recent launch of all the video transcoders, I thought I'd throw out there that I can create an 
infinite number of RSS feeds with FLVs as the enclosures, converted from any video on the 
web. Let me know if you need me to generate any for testing and whatnot.

Also, if you have access to an RSS-reading mobile phone that supports FLV, let me know, and 
I'll make some lightweight FLV feeds (to conserve your minutes ;-)

Best,

Eric Rice

[videoblogging] Re: Your oldest vlog entry

2005-08-22 Thread Philip Clark




I starting posting videos on my blog in 2001, mostly live clips of my 
friends' bands. In January 2002 I started a video blog at 
http://swordfight.org/video .

The first post featured audio from famous UFO expert Stanton T. 
Friedman, as well as a special guest appearance by our old friend, 
mister plastic bag tossed around by the wind.

 I just found my first video-on-a-blog entry, from March 25, 2002, one
 week after I got my first blog:

 Wasn't, like, RSS+enclosures back then, but still. Video. Blog. Whee.

 What's yours?

Re: [videoblogging] fcp timeline settings

2005-08-22 Thread Duncan Rawlinson



Wow! Micahel thanks for the detailed response! This is so kickass! I'll go ahead and try this. 

We're all lucky to have people out there like Michael who can tell us whats what.

Whats the name of the book? Was it discussed on the list already?

Ok, here's the deal.You can set up a sequence preset that matchesyour source video so that you can edit without rendering.Thatsequence preset can be saved and even set as default if you want sothat every time you make a new sequence it's this custom thing you
set up.There are a couple of problems.As Ryanne mentioned, it hasto be exact - fps, codec, codec quality, pixel aspect ratio, etc etc.or you'll have to render.Another problem that we've seen, at least
with mpeg4 video, is crazy and annoying playback problems, ie videowon't update but sound plays, random green blocks, and more.Itseems to just be a display problem but it makes editing a pain in theass.As far as I know, making a sequence preset works in all
versions of FCP as long as it supports the codec you're working with.So the Compressor droplet:If you open up Compressor (I've tested this on version 1  2) andclick the presets button you can create a QuickTime preset that
matches the default DV sequence preset in FCP.Once you've createdthat, there is a button to click that will turn it into adroplet (a mini application) that you can save wherever you'dlike.Then you can take your non-DV clips and just drop a whole
bunch of them on the droplet and it will launch the Batch Monitor andtranscode everything to DV.Then you can import those files and editin FCP without rendering.When you start with small mpeg 4 clips,convert to DV, edit, recompress to mpeg4 again (at a decent bit rate
- 700kbits/sec +) you will notice very little difference from theoriginal clips.So here are the settings:Encoder Tab:File Format: QuickTime MovieVideo Settings:Compression Type: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
