Re: [videoblogging] Re: Apple makes major mistake, stifles technology development
Given the history of innovation in media (hear a reading of Lawrence Lessig's Free Culture @ url: http://www.turnstyle.org/FreeCulture/ - in which our own Eric Rice reads Chapter 4), it makes perfect sense for extant powers to attempt to limit that which will make extant powers less in control. Now that I think about it, it makes perfect sense for extant powerholders to have legally demonized everything Bit Torrent, thereby making folks wary of using a technology that would make it faster and easier to share large digital content over the Internet. The introduction to Free Culture is of particular interest to our current situation / discussion in its recounting how FM radio was dealt blow after blow from the AM radio powers.

[videoblogging] Re: 16x9 thoughts
16:9 fascinates me, I didnt used to like widescreen but that was when my TV/monitor wasnt widescreen. Now that Im starting to get physical widescreens, I love the format. I will be very interested to see how it catches on, HD cameras should help. Whether any future video ipod is widescreen or not may make a difference to uptake rate/popularity. To match perfectly with Apples other video strategies, Id guess a video ipod should really be able to play widescreen H264 content, but who knows what any reality will actually be. Interlacing issues are a pig. If you are on a PC you can use numerous tools including the free virtualdub to deinterlace footage. If you are on the Mac I only know of JES Deinterlacer, which is also free: http://www.xs4all.nl/~jeschot/home.html I have not achieved completely satisfactory deinterlacing of normal DV PAL video yet useing JES, theres a few 'combing artefacts' left after deinterlacing. But there are lots of settings and instructions which I ahvent fully explored yet. Id want to imagine that various editing tools on the mac support deinterlacing but the cheap ones dont appear to and I dont own any of the more expensive solutions. Anybody know what deinterlacing options Final Cut Pro or Compressor provide? Anyway Ive waffled about interlacing a few times here in the past, didnt get much response, at least in part because most people are using half-resolution for vieoblogs so they avoid the issue. I believe someone here mentioned recently the idea that you can apply the half-res workaround for interlacing to HD footage, and still end up with quite high resolutions as HD res is so high in the first place. Even with the best tools visual results, deinterlacing still takes time so yeah the ideal is to use a device that shoots in progressive format in the first place. Unfortunately I believe the only HD cameras I'll be able to afford isnt progressive, so I will likely be thinking of interlacing issues for years to come if anybody ever wants to talk about it further. Cheers Steve of Elbows --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Jen Simmons [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Absolutely. I was compressing a film that I shot on film -- Super16, which is 1.66. I cropped my film to 1.77 (same as 16x9) and wanted to post it to the web in some kind of 16x9 ration bigger than cropped 320x240 but smaller than 640x480 (I forget the 1.77 ratio math I was using...) I ended up in all kinds of trouble, though, since the computer was throwing out 1/3 of the interlacing, instead of 1/2. When we crop from 480 lines to 240 lines, half of the data is thrown out -- either the odd lines or even lines. When we keep it 480, all the lines are used, even and odd. But trying to create something in between was disastrous. It looked like crap! I didn't use Cinema Tools to remove the 3:2 pulldown from the telecine transfer, so any attempts to remove the pulldown upon compression were a mess too. None of by A-frames lined up... not a good idea. I wish I had removed the pulldown before I started editing. (I didn't spend time on it originally, because I didn't plan to match-back to film. It didn't occur to me that this would become an issue for the web). So meanwhile, I still have a lot of questions about how to make films that are something different than 640x480 and 320x240. I'm excited by the possibilities of making all kinds of sizes -- square movies (like how about 400x400?)... but I haven't spent any time experimenting to see how to make great looking stuff without crazy interlacing lines. When I do have time, my next plan is to try 24p footage (that doesn't have any interlacing on it). Thoughts anyone? Anyone figured this out yet?? jen Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Fair play?

I know, videoblogging is not about who is the most popular. On the contrary. It's all about the long tail. Everyone is famous for 15 people. Every time I speak with journos, they want to hear numbers. I usually give them some, but really, it's hard to come up with numbers that make sense. How many videobloggers are there? I don't know. I started a site called http://vlogstats.org today. It is a community site that has as its goal to track the evolution of videoblogging. I want to publish info once a month. A bit like Google's Zeitgeist for videobloggers. Since many are better than one, I wanted everyone to throw in their stats. I started a wiki at http://vlogstats.org/wiki/index.php?title=August_2005_stats for the stats of August. I added some Mefeedia stats to get started (coz I have access to those), and I'd love it if you would add your stats too. Make sure to add info about your stats (don't just say I get 1000 videoviews a day, say where that info comes from and so on...). I want it to become more than just numbers - include stories too.

[videoblogging] business week article
You are probably sick of hearing about it, but I thought this was hands down, the very best article on Rocketboom yet. Comes out in the magazine tomorrow:http://tinyurl.com/dfz8kHeather Green (writer) went to more lengths to investigate the scene beyond any journalist I have ever heard of yet. In doing a story on Rocketboom, she really came to learn about videoblogging through talking with others and researching and asking millions of questions, meeting, observing, participating, fact checking, etc. Quite a treat indeed.

Great stuff, Im not sick of it at all, and there always seems to be some new numbers or news thrown in to fascinate me. Wahey subscriptions for extra content, groovy, is there any chance this might incorrporate my requests to pay for a higher resolution rocketboom? Did I hear someone say something the other day about you and HD? Or if not, even a full DV res version would be nice. If that subscription idea is concrete and going ahead then I'll subscribe, whether or not its higher resolution, but Im just letting you know for market research purposes that at least 1 viewer wants a HD rocketboom :) What would I pay? Hmmm dunno say $10 a month with a lower price for a whole years subscription or something.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: business week article
The idea is basically this: 1. Rocketboom.com will always be free. No matter what changes in the world or in the future. Amanda and I have decided this a long time ago and still feel most strongly about this #1 principle. 2. Hopefully we can stay away from ads and pay for it by licensing it out to different platforms/content aggregators and especially, without dependence on any one entity, offer a subscription for people who want more: a. deliver an HDquality file, several hours earlier (ep. via bittorent/rss solution when possible) b. more content on a regular basis (e.g. out-takes, extra stories, video newsletter type videos) c. internal blog to find out about things coming down the pipe (a forum for story participation, writing, fact checking, etc) e. who knows whatelse, but mainly more content with Amanda and gang. 3. $3.50 a month is not a lot to ask for all of the extra Rocketboom stuff. We are going to start with this, no higher. You could get a music video on itunes for $2 or Rocketboom everyday for a month for $3.50. [ebay and credit companies, etc all take about .40-.50 per transaction, so that about $3]. 4. We have around 50,000/day now for free. What if only 1,000 people sign up (which many people think would be a lot). Thats $3000/mo. What if eventually we have an audience much larger that gets Rocketboom for free. Maybe some small percentage will begin to establish itself as a standard ratio. If we had 10,000 subscribers paying $3.50/mo thats $30,000 per month. Along w/T-shirts and maybe some chump change from the dying DVD market, and especially accompanied by licensing and creating other videoblogs, in the long run, I think it could pan out without selling out (when I say selling out, I simply mean selling ads like we may one day do if this doesn't work, or being co-opted by the main stream media which are in fact, all on the go]. 5. This is where we are going to really do some damage. Starting now I am about to put everything we have into diverting as much of the hype around everything that anyone says we are involved with towards a p2p, shared bandwidth model. Right now, in the state we are in, we are so lucky to have so much support. We are at the point now where most people without investors would crash and burn without a revenue and thus go into debt - because of bandwidth. But the solution is SO OBVIOUS!!! If you are not having bandwidth problems, no problem. If you are, and you have people that watch your videoblog everyday or every few days, get them on a technology schedule. Get a torrent, give them clients, tell them to d/l at THE SAME TIME! Its built in to the technology already to some degree, people dont need to do anything except instal once. So, to take this to scale, while most businesses that grow online, will always have the bandwidth burden that grows with them, a P2P/RSS solution gains like fusion: AS THE AUDIENCE GROWS, BANDWIDTH PRICES FALL and of course, d/l speeds increase. So thats the plan stan, any red flags?

[videoblogging] Re: business week article
I don't see a red flag, but I do see some possible short term growth pains. Even with the technology side covered as you speak of, it won't be an easy road. But, if you plan your @ss off, like it seems you are doing, then it will be that much easier to get over this short term growth hump. It really is interesting to see the birth and growth of a technology while still being able to hear from the actual people who are creating the revolution. I would compare it to being able to listen to the thoughts of Marc Andreesen or Jerry Yang back in 1994. Not saying that you are destined for anything, but it is an interesting time.

Re: [videoblogging] filming cops
Probably just a glimpse of what we'll see as video becomes as common as snapping a pic with your cell phone. The Rodney King incident was well before its time. The police have certainly integrated video into their practices -- traffic enforcement, surveillance, crowd control, etc. Can legislation about aspects of personal video be far behind? robert a/k/a r wrote: Interesting story picked up by boingboing re filming cops and what the UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA said: URL:http://www.boingboing.net/2005/08/26/cops_have_to_pay_41k.html -- Beth Agnew, Professor of Mirth laughpractice.blogspot.com http://tinyurl.com/83u5u Yahoo!

[videoblogging] Flickr for video--Looking for a technical partner/hire
Hi All, I am working on a web based service and community for sharing and managing video clips, that can best be described as Flickr for video -- but with a pretty cool twist. The purpose of my post is that I am building a prototype of the service in advance of raising an angel round. In a perfect world, I find a technical partner that wants to own half the business with me and will work for sweat like myself until we close the round, is skilled enough to know about front-end design (requires a combination of Ajax and/or Flash), backend infrastructure (for working with video and multiple users) and can code a credible, impressive prototype that will not be a complete throwaway. In the other extreme, I find someone that I will pay to work full time and build this for me. I will also consider a hybrid of equity and dollars. The combination of options around pure dollars, dollars/equity and pure equity (half the company) widens the field of qualified prospects considerably. Based on gut of having done seven other startups and validation in a bunch of meetings of the jobs that the software is designed to satisfy, I am very confident that I can get this funded and that the solution is compelling, so I am willing to put my capital at risk to get to prototype. In any event, if you are local to the Bay Area (I am in San Francisco), are interested and have the right technical background, send me your resume and career objectives to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and we can connect for coffee. Similarly, if you are not a fit but are integral in helping me find someone that fits the bill, I will cut you in on some stock participation. To get a better sense of me, check out either my personal blog, The Network Garden (http://thenetworkgarden.com) or my blog for O'Reilly (http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/1308). Thanks in advance.

Re: [videoblogging] Flickr for video--Looking for a technical partner/hire
This isn't anywhere near relevant to what you're seeking, Mark, but it did get me to thinking about all the different services in place now that I've seen referred to as Flickr for Video. Mefeedia, Vimeo, and YouTube all seem to have been given that label by others, as well as Flickr itself, of course, wherein Caterina has mentioned (some time ago) wanting to add video support to their site. Seem to me that cool video site could have been Flickr's mindshare to lose. I hope it's high on their development wishlist. It might require settling on a Flash conversion system like YouTube.com and Audioblog.com for bandwidth and video compatibility, though... Good luck in your endeavor, Mark! Ryan Yahoo!

Jonny Goldstein, that Yahoo ad salesman saw what a hilarious entertainer you are. Probably figured you were going to soon be discovered.

I would like to know people's experience when using a LCD panel with 1280X1024 vertical strip with a Mac computer? Apple's LCD monitors have a higher count (something like 1600X1200). Does this really make a big enough difference (and what kind of difference) to justify Apple's price which is fully three times the cost of monitor with only about 25% fewer pixels?

Factors that increase this risk seem toinclude; Frequency of posts, percentage of time that content is aboutself, urgency of requests to check own stuff out, length of signaturecompared to length of post.Its all very grey, so I deadly hope people can manage not to takeoffense if they are ever called a spammer. People can sometimes usethe term in afectionate, half-joking ways, or if they personally findthe style of a particular persons posts to be something thats just abit too much for their tastes.The worst possible outcome of being called a spammer is if it causes astrog reaction and you stop posting completely, or spend too much timeworrying about how much its ok to post, and stuff like that.Its hard, I dind it much the same as the phenomenon of life in generalwhere you want someone to cool it down just a tiny bit, but are unsurehow to say it in a way thats productive not negative and destructive.Of course it wasnt me that called you a spammer and Im really not in aposition to be telling anybody how it is with this issue, these arejust my personal thoughts.Its ort of related to the other ocassionally occuring phenomenon suchas people getting annoyed with a subject and requesting the list stoptalking about it.

I mean this is a miracle in the making - a revolution in a moment. The summer of 2005 will be looked back upon as the seminal moment in the history of media when every one got a way to transmit their voice to everyone else for free. I am so excited I can hardly eat.

I am wild about that interface. I want to do mine that way now that I've seen his/hers. That is so cool.

[videoblogging] compression

Can you clarify what you mean by compression tools? Windows Movie Maker outputs compressed format WMV files at a wide variety of quality levels depending on what your needs are in terms of resolution and file size. You can even set a specific file size target and let the software automatically output a file at the target size in MB. PowerPoint is a little more complicated because the files tend to be bloated to begin with. You can conserve a ton of space simply by using a high compression setting in a zip application. If you are outputting an video presentation from PowerPoint, your can get a compressed video file by using Microsoft Producer instead of creating a compiled PowerPoint deck. The other option here would be to purchase one of the many $30 apps specifically designed to compress PP files. Jake Ludington http://www.mediablab.com http://www.podcastingstarterkit.com Yahoo!

Re: [videoblogging] compression
Dear Jake, thanks 1) in regards to windows movie maker if one wants a decent quality the compression ends up 1MB per minute which is not good enough as talks/lectures tend to be around 45 minutes one can safe on the level of a dial up but there the webcam quality is pretty bad 2) regarding powerpoint yes there are a few powerpoint compressiontools but you still have to pay I look for a totally free one I will look into the producer option ZIPs by now are increasingly problematic as many e-mail recipients filter them out. Like my university sees every zip file as a virus threat and they don't come to my inbox. As I work with many in developing countries the ones I deal with have a computer but they don't have money to buy all kind of software. and I often have to do multi outputs as sometimes I have blind people in the audience sometimes deaf people (that why I have the powerpoint and use the audio to describe what is on the powerpoint). Is open office better sizewise ? Not all of them have fast internet access so webcam is often not an option. But in general I found MSN messenger 7.0 work very nicely to give presentations but for the webcam fast internet access is needed.

RE: [videoblogging] compression
1) in regards to windows movie maker if one wants a decent quality the compression ends up 1MB per minute which is not good enough as talks/lectures tend to be around 45 minutes Reasonable people differ on what qualifies as decent. :) About the only way to reduce the file size further for dial up users is to decrease the resolution. Drop to 160x120 and you dramatically decrease the file size. The other option might be to cut the frame rate to 15fps, which will make motion choppy but does decrease file size. You might be able to save a few megabytes by using a MPEG-4 codec (DivX/XviD) after exporting from Windows Movie Maker. one can safe on the level of a dial up but there the webcam quality is pretty bad 2) regarding powerpoint yes there are a few powerpoint compressiontools but you still have to pay I look for a totally free one I don't know of any. I don't think there are any because the person willing to spend $200-400 for a version of Office with PowerPoint probably isn't going to balk at $30 for some compression. ZIPs by now are increasingly problematic as many e-mail recipients filter them out. Like my university sees every zip file as a virus threat and they don't come to my inbox. Hosting the files and linking to a .zip is almost never filtered by email. As I work with many in developing countries the ones I deal with have a computer but they don't have money to buy all kind of software. and I often have to do multi outputs as sometimes I have blind people in the audience sometimes deaf people (that why I have the powerpoint and use the audio to describe what is on the powerpoint). Is open office better sizewise ? Open Office and virtually every other office product will result in even more bloat. Apple's Keynote is worse than PowerPoint in this regard, if that's possible. Couldn't you do video as one output for blind and deaf people and include subtitling (and/or use an overlay of text) to avoid needing many formats? Maybe I'm not looking at the issue correctly, but if a blind person clicks on a video file, they still hear the audio track and a deaf person would get the visual experience with subtitles. Not all of them have fast internet access so webcam is often not an option. But in general I found MSN messenger 7.0 work very nicely to give presentations but for the webcam fast internet access is needed. You keep referring to a Webcam here and I'm not sure I'm following that part of it. On one hand you are talking about recording video and outputting something from Windows Movie Maker. Here you mention using a Webcam for (I assume) live video streaming? Is this a separate project or are the two related and I'm just not getting it? :) Jake Ludington http://www.mediablab.com http://www.podcastingstarterkit.com Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Fair play?

[videoblogging] some questions re Rocketboom, iTunes traffic rates and emerging conventions for video distribution contracts between content creators and global aggregator/distributors
Hi everyone. I have some questions (which relate to an article I'm writing) which I'd be grateful to get views about please (apologies in advance if these topics have already been covered). ROCKETBOOM 1. why isn't Rocketboom the top iTunes podcast? Or even in the top 100 podcasts? 2. I just saw the CBS news coverage of Rocketboom and noted with interest Andrew's comment that it costs $25/day. Now he was obviously saying that tongue in cheek but it does raise some interesting issues such as: a. What would you expect two people with Andrew and Amanda's skill set (assuming they are not unique in the world) to bill out their time at per hour, in different countries around the world? This should surely be factored into the costs of the show and wouldn't be trivial, right? How many person hours go into conceiving, producing, distributing and marketing each Rocketboom ep? Doesn't just coordinating international correspondents take time? and answering audience mail? So rather than $25, it is easily possible to see an ep costing $2500 or more? Would be valuable to get estimates of cost per video blog episode from bloggers in different countries worldwide and what the big cost areas are... b. What would Rocketboom's license fee costs be if it sought and obtained a licence for every clip it used prior to using the content that it eclectically offers during most shows? (maybe that is already done by Rocketboom, so this answer can come from experience?) iTUNES 3. Does anyone know the actual rate of consumption for some of the various different well-known podcasts on iTunes? Interesting figures would include the average rate of usage for all shows on iTunes's podcasting directory, the maximum consumption for the most popular show on iTunes etc (of course, I suppose this is most interesting for any shows that are distributed SOLELY via iTunes (probably there is no such species) so that the value of the iTunes brand and convenience can be assessed. But if people are going out via multiple paths (eg they use not only RSS and the Web, but also, say, 3G handsets, DVB-H and DMB in a variety of different countries) are they just calculating the sum of data such as their Feedburner stats, their Web logs, their 3G logs etc? That process is a real bother and there has to be an easier way ... it would be incredibly valuable to know how people are achieving this around the world. VIDEO DISTRIBUTION CONTRACTS All content creators can probably cut better deals for themselves if they get to know the benchmarks that have emerged for distribution contracts in different territories and platforms. Does anyone know good literature on this topic? Issues include: 4. What kind of contracts are people signing up to when they go with aggregator / distributors who want to include their video content in packages (eg Maven, Akimbo, etc etc)? The kind of issues I'm hoping to get people's opinions about are: a. what kind of exclusivity is sought by aggegator/distributors when a content creator asks for distribution in different countries (and different technological distribution platforms) worldwide? b. who is tending to bear the cost of adapting the content to ensure it works on the ever increasing range of video-capable cellphones and PDAs in such agreements? c. what value and types of insurance are aggregators asking content creators to take out prior to agreeing to distribute the content on different platforms/devices/territories? d. how different are the answers to the above for short form video as opposed to long-form video such as low-budget indie features etc?
