[videoblogging] Open Call to Video Bloggers VJs : Get Jiggy
here's a piece I wrote for a street press mag recently, trying to encourage some more cross-over and/or dialogue between the quite vibrant VJ videoblogging scenes... am sending to both the eyecandy videoblogging lists too, as well as posting at a few forum sites, and [EMAIL PROTECTED]www.skynoise.net so we'll see if it generates some more cross-fertilising? jpOpen Call to Video Bloggers VJs : Get JiggyDespite all the creative aspirations and technical skills they share, there's surprisingly little overlap between the huge populations of VJs video bloggers. Nurturing mutual status as pixel underdogs, both VJs video bloggers are adept at dealing with low or non-existent budgets, and both champion storytelling and/or aesthetics and visual ideas over production values. That's not to say production values are ignored - in fact, production values probably tie up more than their fair share of discussion time in either community, but a key defining aspect of being a VJ or videoblogger is the joy of just of being able to get those pixels out there.While all this pre-supposes you have compelling video / stories / pixels to begin with, at least the current state of video play helps level the media playing field to some degree. And the current expansion of mobile video ( phones, PSP, video iPods many other handhelds ), continues this window of opportunity for bedroom pixelists. And to think of a hybrid army of these pixelists, loaded up with the combined skillsets of the VJ VideoBlogging massive, is to imagine a continually more diverse and decentralised media. So let's bring it on.What can Video Bloggers learn from VJs?VJs know how to move pixels in real-time. Whether responding to music, or creating live audiovisual pieces, VJs are at home using real-time editing tools, allowing easy compositing, layering, sequencing and effects on the fly. Aside from live performance though, the 'instrumentness' of these real-time tools means they are also very effective and flexible video production tools. Creativity can be given a new leash when freed from the constraints of the rendering timeline, and levels of complexity can be explored spontaneously that would take a long time to build up to with traditional video editing software. And VJ software is especially suited to online video publishers, because both VJs VideoBloggers tend to use 320 x 240 sized clips ( the bloggers because it's a default multimedia size compromise for bandwidth concerns, the VJs because it's a compromise between resolution and allowing the speediest real-time triggering and manipulation).VJs also have extensive knowledge about how to get projections happening, whether on a screen in a club, theatre, projecting from a rooftop, mobile van, shopping trolley, or even the side of a train. This is a very useful amount of technical knowledge to tap into, but should also encourage online publishers to think more about where their work can be shown offline - where can video be seen? Be shown? Where can stories be told? Where can your colours be projected?VJs also know a lot about codecs, and the ways video is compressed to create the best combination of image quality and speed of playback and 'scrubbing' ( moving a file backwards and forwards on a timeline smoothly ). And a thing or two about transitions, visual storytelling, the power of the image, the use by date of the image, effects ( and their ever shrinking use by dates), automated processes ( such as visual manipulation by audio analysis ), video signal routing, capturing, sampling and much much more. Key VJ community resources forums : www.vjforums.com, www.audiovisualizers.com www.vjcentral.comhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/eyecandy ( mailing list with thousands of VJs )http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/0xff ( another good mailing list )What can VJs learn from Video Bloggers?Videobloggers ( also known as vloggers) know the online networks inside out, and know the values and pleasures of automated publishing - getting your work out there in appropriate formats, having it automatically archived and linked to from a main page, having it easily cross referenced or quoted and having interested audiences automatically notified when it is published. All of which help make any particularly worthy video rise on it's merits rather than marketing budget ( netheads love calling this a 'meritocracy' ). VideoBloggers also know a lot about compression codecs ( though more focussed on image quality and shrinking file size than clip triggering speed), about getting work out to as many different platforms as possible, about storytelling, about audiences, about online promotion, about embedding hyperlinks and much much more.Of course, many VJs are already posting videos online, but few are harnessing the benefits and play available with networked publishing.

[videoblogging] My Friend's First Videoblog
Hi, Vloggers I would like to share my friend's first attempt at videoblogging. The videos up are hilarious. Go to Bill Dyszel's Instant filmmaking blog and give him some encouragement. I think videoblogging is the perfect medium for his personality and talent. JV Free 4 Filmmaking --- The Wonder of Instant Moviemaking Once it took months or years to create a movie. Now you can dash off a flick in a couple days, or even a few hours. Today, thousands of crazed filmmakers compete in fast-forward moviemaking events such as the 48-Hour Film Project, CinemaSports, Quickflicks New York, or Group 101. I've been involved with all of these and a few others, too, and I think it's an amazing experience for filmmakers and audiences alike. This blog is dedicated to all those filmmakers for whom instant gratification isn't quite fast enough. http://instantmoviemaking.typepad.com/ Leave your comments and feedback Yahoo!

I agree. I said in my Vlog Anarchy video that I love interactive things and I love to see more of it. My background is performance art. In 1995 I did a movement/text/video piece that performed in the round with a quad-stereo soundtrack and improvisational lighting. The order of the sections were determined randomly by my daughter (Dylan - 1.5 yrs old) before each performance. Part of that was about creating a different performance for each audience member each night. It was one of my experiments in creating non-linear live performances. It was heavily influenced by this web thing I'd been looking at for about a year and those Avid non-linear video editors that I'd only read about in magazines. Anyway, my point is that the performance was much more interesting conceptually than it was as an experience from the audiences point of view. In that respect I don't think it was much different from other artworks created with similar intentions. The closest thing I've seen to a satisfying, non-linear, interactive story or experience is Riven the second Myst game. -- Verdi URL: http://michaelverdi.com/ URL: http://freevlog.org/ URL: http://node101.org/ Yahoo!

[videoblogging] Some changes
Today I have just re-jigged my site slightly, all my videos were previously linked to my slot in dailymotion.com, but as from yesterday all of my links didn't work. (Many thank to Susan Kirkpatrick for noticing and informing me) So I am now using dailymotions 1 click blog feature which is ever so good, not only is it more efficient it also lets you view my videos from the actual vlog page instead of the old blank page situation I had before. Only trouble is I have taken the option to subscribe via itunes away, because although my feed is working fine within feedburner and you can still subscribe that way, there is something missing in the itunes department as far a feed is concerned from dailymotion. I have asked them today for a solution and currently waiting for them to get back to me. So all you lovely people who have supported me in my endevours and subscribed via itunes, may have to do it again once I have it up and running. Sorry guys, these things are sent to make us better, I am sure. Don't for one minute think I am angling for more visitors, oh well maybe, but anyone who may have visited before, please if you have the time, visit again and re leave messages, I have had to delete all the lovely comments and stuff due to the change.

That's what I said.
And the word academic is not ambiguous to me and I doubt it is to you.
I don't know if you academic in the way of 'as related to work done at
universities' or academic in the way of 'having no practical purpose'.
There's a huge difference. The first I can agree with to an extent - no
one is doing much about this, and if it takes academics to put the
spotlight in the topic, I don't know why that should be a bad thing. The
second is a bit silly and possible a bit insulting.
The potential for a distinctly networked videography remains exactly
that.
Adrian's work explores that potential but I am not sure those elements
are
any more (or less) important than the short form content, regular posts,
syndication, and the various forms of dialogical interaction that are to
some degree explored by RB amongst others.
I didn't say that interactivity is a requirement, or that content created
with interactivity is automatically 'better' than content created without
('better' being impossible to determine anyway). I'm saying there is
bloggy video, and there is non-bloggy video and they're not the same. I'm
saying that there are multiple factors that make up a videoblog and one of
these factors is how bloggy the video content is. And I'm saying that a
videoblog with non-bloggy video is not as 'bloggy' as a videoblog with
bloggy video. I'm saying there is this and there is that and that's how it
is.
Personally I would like to see people trying to make more bloggy video. I
like the web, and I like to explore how video and the web (ie. the blog)
can be combined and benifit from each other. Some times I get very
impatient because I don't want to wait 10 years until regular people
figure out that you can do more than just same old video on the web.
It's not like interactivity automatically implies grandiose performance
art pieces. Simple links to what you're talking about is a great thing.
Whenever I hear things like 'As Johnny said yesterday...' in a videoblog I
cringe because there isn't a link to Johnny's blog post, and there is no
reason why there shouldn't be a link there.

[videoblogging] Re: MP4 H.264
Thanks for the post Andrew. I should have raised the issue in a nice way, but I can be a git sometimes. Anyway the file does play on windows, in many different ways: Quicktime 7 Nero Showtime VLC Windows media player ( any other directshow-codec-supporting video app) via installation of some h264 support thats too complicated to explain now. The average windows user may not have any of the above options available to them right now, but it bodes well for the future that people arent limited to quicktime as the only playback solution. I dont know if it works on the ipod, I havent got one yet, but if its been encoded with main profile, rather than baseline, then it wont. The PSP is a pig for compatibility. As well as the normal resolution restraints, the file format is slightly non-standard (hence qt encoded h264 wont work), the framerate must be listed as 30 in the video file (even if the real framerate is different, then this causes audio-video snc issues) and also filename issues. After changing the filename of rb oct 21, it still didnt play on the PSP v2. How did you encode? When it comes to issues with PSPs v2 not playing h264, yeah thats an additional complication for sure. I wonder what proportion of PSP users are intot he hackss and homebrew, here in the UK the PSP shipped with v2 firmware so theres probably less people with 1.5 here. I originally assumed youd be offering normal mpeg4 and h264, I think I hoped for this because rocketboom has done such a good job of supporting multiple formats throughout its first year, so take it as a compliment that I was dissapointed. Its certainly possible to crate a h264 file that will play on the Mac, PC and PSP. I am unsure at this stage whether a PSP-compatible h264 file can alo be made to work on the ipod, it depends if the additional sony atom structures that the PSP requires, causes incompatibility with video ipod. And whether baseline/main profile differences between the 2 devices scupper this plan. As for the playback performance of h264, yes its intensive. Its most likly that both the PSP and the ipod use a seperate decoder chip to handle h264, and thats why software-only decoding is struggling on older computers and handheld devices in comparison. I will post some details of my PSP encoding experiences using both a PC and mac in the coming days. Cheers Steve of Elbows --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, ecomputerd [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Other people seem to believe that the H.264 quality is good, but my guess is they are comparing the quality per filesize or bitrate. It seems the quality per decoding or MHz performance is either equal or below other encoders: just my guess based on my experience playing back on a Pocket PC. The some_postman video that came around was supposed to be 25fps and 800kbit/s, played back with about 70% dropped frames at 7.778 fps. Your post of 14.985 fps and 800 kbit/s worked with 136/3169 dropped frames. Fairly low dropout (playback fps of 14.342). I'm showing Audio: MPEG4 AAC Audio, AAC0 (Codec LibFAAD LC, HE,Ps AAC, 32kHz Mono) and Video: AVC aka H.264, AVC1 (FFmpeg AVC). Plays back pretty good on a 500+MHz VGA Pocket PC. I was hoping H.264 would also be a clear winner as well. You can get better playback performance with something like DivX, I think. I haven't done extensive testing, but the H.264 videos that people seem to be making are all (so far that I've tested) taxing to the playback system. Incidently I love that song AND video. Sounds like a 1950's-era scat. The only thing that seems to give it away is the rushing snare roll, which I don't think I've ever heard in earlier music before (not that I listen to much of it, though). I could be all wrong on that, but either way: sounds great! And that framerate plays back decently on my Pocket PC.

Only trouble is I have taken the option to subscribe via itunes away, because although my feed is working fine within feedburner and you can still subscribe that way, there is something missing in the itunes department as far a feed is concerned from dailymotion. I have asked them today for a solution and currently waiting for them to get back to me.

It's a continuum.- Andreas-- Ok, if you want to talk "degree", lets get back to percentages. You stated that Rocketboom is "not very bloggy".Therefore, based on that assessement, and taking into consideration everything I know about the definition of a weblog, I think its fair to say that 99.9% of the people here on this list who consider themselves to be videobloggers, with full-fledged videoblogs, creating videoblog posts on a regular basis while answering peoples questions when asked "what is videoblogging" and even teaching how to videoblog, are not at all, or to a "not so much" degree. I just don't see how that could be. I think there is a much greater percentage of blogginess going on out there - so much so, the points you are making seem so trivial. It just seems strange to me to hear you talk so much about one particular future quality of the format which does not define the videoblog at all as it is right now.In that case I think what you are talking about is not even a definition. It's a mere hope.I hope for the same thing, but lets be realistic about what is actually going on around here. YAHOO! GROUPS LINKS Visit your group "videoblogging" on the web.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: One more attempt...a simple request...please
Jan,I was following the "Walk L.A. With Me" since she started her project. It is a brilliant concept. Kent Bye's EchoChamber Project is spectacular as well. I think that this medium allows for an entire new way to create a film as is illustrated in Kent's effort. I will be focussed on an ever fluctuating approach within my new site being launched "Vlogumentarian.com". I have recently began to work with other people on creating a second portal for people to work on collaboratively. I have met with a designer who is building the front end of the site now and it's identity. I'm hoping to get that up and running in the next week or so. It will be a site where people can have an active participatory role within the content. That will be the new site "VlogReporter.com". More on that later. So much to do and so little time!

[videoblogging] Re: I need to get a friend.
Exactly. That's why I never let people comment on a video at mefeedia, but send them to the blog instead. p I myself probably would take advantage of the ability to turn off comments or moderate them at blip.tv. I've always reserved the right to just that with any post on my own website (which is where I consider 'official comments' need to be placed :-P ) Yes. I don't get why people are commenting on blip and sharing links to the video directly on blip. What happened to the blog permalink? I think we've got to keep that. That's what makes blogs work. It sucks to have a post in one place and a video in another - both of them having separate conversations going on. For example, when I put a video on the new vlog feed or the classic vlog feed (at FreeVlog) I always disable comments and write Comment here with a link to the blog permalink. -- Verdi URL: http://michaelverdi.com/ URL: http://freevlog.org/ URL: http://node101.org/ Yahoo!

I know that several people have replied to this already, but I thought I'd comment on this particular bit. One of the most astonishing things to me about videoblogs is the way that they can show what life is really like elsewhere. TV is neck-deep in Hollywood glossiness and all the cliches and conventions that accompany it. What's missing is information about real lives. Sure your life seemms dull TO YOU. You see it every day! I bet your life is different to my life, though, in ways that might surprise and interest both of us.

The little things like they have no postal delivery (so no letter boxes on the houses, I guess), there seem to be no fences between the gardens (how does that work?), most of the houses seem to be made of wood rather than brick, and they have a snowmobile route to get across town.

So now it'll really become a personal preference :)We'd love nothing more than the ability to forward comments through to the blog post created by cross-posting, but because of shortcomings of the blogging APIs and the scourge of comment spam doing so is extraordinarily difficult and potentially error prone. For now we simply e-mail users (again, an option) when a comment is posted to one of their videos.I think this is going to become a larger issue in the future. Videos travel everywhere, but the metadata attached to them does not necessarily travel simultaneously. I'm an advocate of creating a system for the tracking of video-related metadata across the network, and in fact we've already started work on one aspect of such a system in cooperation and consultation with other tool makers.-mikeOn Oct 27, 2005, at 9:56 AM, petertheman wrote:Exactly.

I don't get why people are commenting on blip and sharing links to the video directly on blip. What happened to the blog permalink? I think we've got to keep that. That's what makes blogs work. It sucks to have a post in one place and a video in another - both of them having separate conversations going on. For example, when I put a video on the new vlog feed or the classic vlog feed (at FreeVlog) I always disable comments and write "Comment here" with a link to the blog permalink.

Re: [videoblogging] Open Call to Video Bloggers VJs : Get Jiggy
timely piece. just last week someone posted some interesting VJ references here on the group and I have been looking into it ever since. Along the way I made the obvious discovery of Apple Tiger's new Quartz Composer (formerly PixalShox Studio). What a tool! If you have Mac Tiger and have not found this on it yet, please do check it out. For more info, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_Composer thanks for posting this jean. markus jean_poole wrote: here's a piece I wrote for a street press mag recently, trying to encourage some more cross-over and/or dialogue between the quite vibrant VJ videoblogging scenes...am sending to both the eyecandy videoblogging lists too, as well as posting at a few forum sites, and up@www.skynoise.net sowe'll see if it generates some more cross-fertilising? jp Open Call to Video Bloggers VJs : Get Jiggy Despite all the creative aspirations and technical skills they share, there's surprisingly little overlap between the huge populations of VJs video bloggers. Nurturing mutual status as pixel underdogs, both VJs video bloggers are adept at dealing with low or non-existent budgets, and both champion storytelling and/or aesthetics and visual ideas over production values. That's not to say production values are ignored - in fact, production values probably tie up more than their fair share of discussion time in either community, but a key defining aspect of being a VJ or videoblogger is the joy of just of being able to get those pixels out there. While all this pre-supposes you have compelling video / stories / pixels to begin with, at least the current state of video play helps level the media playing field to some degree. And the current expansion of mobile video ( phones, PSP, video iPods many other handhelds ), continues this window of opportunity for bedroom pixelists. And to think of a hybrid army of these pixelists, loaded up with the combined skillsets of the VJ VideoBlogging massive, is to imagine a continually more diverse and decentralised media. So let's bring it on. What can Video Bloggers learn from VJs? VJs know how to move pixels in real-time. Whether responding to music, or creating live audiovisual pieces, VJs are at home using real-time editing tools, allowing easy compositing, layering, sequencing and effects on the fly. Aside from live performance though, the 'instrumentness' of these real-time tools means they are also very effective and flexible video production tools. Creativity can be given a new leash when freed from the constraints of the rendering timeline, and levels of complexity can be explored spontaneously that would take a long time to build up to with traditional video editing software. And VJ software is especially suited to online video publishers, because both VJs VideoBloggers tend to use 320 x 240 sized clips ( the bloggers because it's a default multimedia size compromise for bandwidth concerns, the VJs because it's a compromise between resolution and allowing the speediest real-time triggering and manipulation). VJs also have extensive knowledge about how to get projections happening, whether on a screen in a club, theatre, projecting from a rooftop, mobile van, shopping trolley, or even the side of a train. This is a very useful amount of technical knowledge to tap into, but should also encourage online publishers to think more about where their work can be shown offline - where can video be seen? Be shown? Where can stories be told? Where can your colours be projected? VJs also know a lot about codecs, and the ways video is compressed to create the best combination of image quality and speed of playback and 'scrubbing' ( moving a file backwards and forwards on a timeline smoothly ). And a thing or two about transitions, visual storytelling, the power of the image, the use by date of the image, effects ( and their ever shrinking use by dates), automated processes ( such as visual manipulation by audio analysis ), video signal routing, capturing, sampling and much much more. Key VJ community resources forums : www.vjforums.com, www.audiovisualizers.com www.vjcentral.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eyecandy( mailing list with thousands of VJs ) http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/0xff( another good mailing list ) What can VJs learn from Video Bloggers? Videobloggers ( also known as vloggers) know the online networks inside out, and know the values and pleasures of automated publishing - getting your work out there in appropriate formats, having it automatically archived and linked to from a main page, having it easily cross referenced or quoted and having interested audiences automatically notified when it is published. All of which help make any particularly worthy video rise on it's merits rather than marketing budget ( netheads love calling this a 'meritocracy' ).

Yes unfortunately there are all sorts of potential issues which crop up if people have more than one enclosure per post.

Id agree but modify that sentiment slightly. Rather than saying that none of it matters and is besides the point, the beauty of videoblogging is that it doesnt HAVE to matter. Having not so many viewers is no longer a barrier to publishing stuff, the economies of scale dont break and are somewhat reversed compared to TV. But for some people it still matters, and theres nothing illegitimate or wrong about that, videoblogging caters for both.

[videoblogging] Re: Open Call to Video Bloggers VJs : Get Jiggy
That was a glorious post, very well put. I am presently looking after vjcentral and vjforums, and have just requested that a new sub-forum be created on vjforums.com that deals with all things videoblog-related. If this subforum materialisses, I will post to let everyone know. I desperately want to add video publishng video feed(s) to vjcentral, but the entire site needs rebuilding using a different system first. The biggest incompatibility with any VJing-Videoblogging crossover, is that many of the available VJing tools do not use audio in a way that many videobloggers would like. AS they are mostly live performance tools used by people in clubs, some do not play the audio part of video files at all. Others have the ability to handle audio and do amusing pitch changes/scratching effects to botht eh audio and video. But then we get onto output isues. Some vj software has no ability to record/render the output to a file. Most that do have this feature, totally fail to record the audio. The easiest and most universal workaround for this is to record the realtime video audio output from computer on a seperate external device. But this adds time to the process and is still not easy if you dont have the right hardware. An issue that can put off VJs from putting thir video on the web, is also audio. Many play in clubs to the DJs music, and dont have their own original audio, so they start to get into the copyright problems that get talked about here sometimes. Theres quite a lot of use of copyrighted video clips too. But it can be more of an issue for vjs than videobloggers because its more likely to be considered commercial use. In 99% of cases the industry has taken as little interest in VJ copyright violations as they have videobloggers, but the risk is always there and is increased if people publish permanently online rather than just doing a live show. Most VJs could certainly use additional revenue streams, and discussions about alternative payment schemes, micropayments etc, are relevant. Theres lots of potential for VJs to share content with videobloggers and vica versa. One thing Id love to see happen in the future, but is reliant on some form of financial model working, is certain kinds of VJs and videobloggers outsourcing work to eachother. If you want nice graphics for your videoblog but arent any good at creating, get a willing VJ to do it. If you are a VJ and you want video clip of a certain building in a part of the world you dont live, ask a videoblogger.

[videoblogging] Re: multiple video files (per video-blog entry), to show up in iTunes/podcast?
Well I was talking current solutions that a user could do themselves. This issue has been a problem and something people have talked about here and wanted to sort out for many many months. But to my eyes the situation is getting messier and even less easy to sort out. A solution to this requires all of the following to do their part: RSS that supports multiple enclosures per post. and/or RSS addons such as yahoo media RSS and itunes support.

Its doable, I had more hope for it via Yahoo Media RSS but Apple have complicated the situation. And as their software is podcast rather than blog oriented, they might not like the idea of multiple media items per feed item. With this in mind the best I hope for is that something happens and that there are some aggregators which are blog-feature-rich support it. And also that its done in a way so that people using tools that only support 1 item per post can still subscribe to your feed and get at least a partial experience of whats going on.

Re: [videoblogging] no enclosures
hi Josh, we've looked into this, and it looks like the MIME type we are returning for mp3s is correct - the text/html comes from the redirect we do (just as the Internet Archive does). We haven't changed this behavior in some time. it looks like the problem was probably a momentary Feedburner hiccup, as your Feedburner feed seems to have enclosures in it right now. one source of potential difficulty, though, is this: RSS 2.0 only supports one enclosure per item. Your latest post included a link to an mp3 and a Quicktime movie. It looks like Feedburner picked up the link to the Quicktime movie only, not the mp3, for this reason. I assume that you removed the link to the mp3 in your original post? cheers, - Jared On Oct 27, 2005, at 12:42 AM, Josh Leo wrote: I have had a working feed since march, i have 3 other working feedburner feeds, but all of a sudden this morning , I discovered the my feed had no enclosures.

Nurturing mutual status as pixel underdogs, both VJs video bloggers are adept at dealing with low or non-existent budgets, and both champion storytelling and/or aesthetics and visual ideas over production values. That's not to say production values are ignored - in fact, production values probably tie up more than their fair share of discussion time in either community, but a key defining aspect of being a VJ or videoblogger is the joy of just of being able to get those pixels out there. While all this pre-supposes you have compelling video / stories / pixels to begin with, at least the current state of video play helps level the media playing field to some degree. And the current expansion of mobile video ( phones, PSP, video iPods many other handhelds ), continues this window of opportunity for bedroom pixelists. And to think of a hybrid army of these pixelists, loaded up with the combined skillsets of the VJ VideoBlogging massive, is to imagine a continually more diverse and decentralised media. So let's bring it on. What can Video Bloggers learn from VJs? VJs know how to move pixels in real-time. Whether responding to music, or creating live audiovisual pieces, VJs are at home using real-time editing tools, allowing easy compositing, layering, sequencing and effects on the fly. Aside from live performance though, the 'instrumentness' of these real-time tools means they are also very effective and flexible video production tools. Creativity can be given a new leash when freed from the constraints of the rendering timeline, and levels of complexity can be explored spontaneously that would take a long time to build up to with traditional video editing software. And VJ software is especially suited to online video publishers, because both VJs VideoBloggers tend to use 320 x 240 sized clips ( the bloggers because it's a default multimedia size compromise for bandwidth concerns, the VJs because it's a compromise between resolution and allowing the speediest real-time triggering and manipulation). VJs also have extensive knowledge about how to get projections happening, whether on a screen in a club, theatre, projecting from a rooftop, mobile van, shopping trolley, or even the side of a train. This is a very useful amount of technical knowledge to tap into, but should also encourage online publishers to think more about where their work can be shown offline - where can video be seen? Be shown? Where can stories be told? Where can your colours be projected? VJs also know a lot about codecs, and the ways video is compressed to create the best combination of image quality and speed of playback and 'scrubbing' ( moving a file backwards and forwards on a timeline smoothly ). And a thing or two about transitions, visual storytelling, the power of the image, the use by date of the image, effects ( and their ever shrinking use by dates), automated processes ( such as visual manipulation by audio analysis ), video signal routing, capturing, sampling and much much more. Key VJ community resources forums : www.vjforums.com, www.audiovisualizers.com www.vjcentral.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eyecandy ( mailing list with thousands of VJs ) http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/0xff ( another good mailing list ) What can VJs learn from Video Bloggers? Videobloggers ( also known as vloggers) know the online networks inside out, and know the values and pleasures of automated publishing - getting your work out there in appropriate formats, having it automatically archived and linked to from a main page, having it easily cross referenced or quoted and having interested audiences automatically notified when it is published. All of which help make any particularly worthy video rise on it's merits rather than marketing budget ( netheads love calling this a 'meritocracy' ). VideoBloggers also know a lot about compression codecs ( though more focussed on image quality and shrinking file size than clip triggering speed), about getting work out to as many different platforms as possible, about storytelling, about audiences, about online promotion, about embedding hyperlinks and

Re: [videoblogging] Re: top feedburner vlogs.. steve garfield gets bumped by the boob
Oh the longtail.The way I see it, it is not particularly the themed content that will bring in the masses but the fact that this so called popular themed content is centered around a very specific audience: internet geeks out there. Ok lets see here...Rocketboom has a wide variety of topics but it is reaching a crowd of people on the internet that is already familiar with tech, internet oddities, and boing-boingable things...Then you have Tikibar tv...very well produced, but includes the eye-candy for males, and the alcohol for many tech-savy young men who make up the majority of the internet. The final example that we brought up is the KItkastum SEXwhat does the internet revolve around? SEX. I tell you that if i had themed content specifically centered around Grand Rapids, Backpacking, Geocaching, or folk music, I would not be appealing to the majority of the internet crowd that makes up our viewership. Sure I would bring in all the people who live in GR , or those online backpackers, but the rest of the tech-savy people would be bored because I am not talking about TA or iPods... Themed content is easy to understand but it still comes down to producing quality content. A personal vlog that is made in such a way that it is entertaining, well produced, and compelling has a better chance at gaining a large audience than a well-produced vlog about a niche market. so in conclusion -The internet is dominated of sex-crazed, tech-savy males -content that apeals to these characteristics has a better chance than other more minute niche topics -content that is well-made, and compelling is more important than theme -if your aim is large viewership, focus on what you think is interesting, and make it good -in the end, I like cat videos a lot vlogcats.blogspot.com i am sure there is something someone can get pissed off about in what i just wrote...but seriously, let's not get too bent out of shape here...i love it all and this isn't life...that is what we should be filming --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com , Verdi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Oct 26, 2005, at 12:54 PM, LeanBackVids.com wrote: As you can tell, this is something I get fired up about.It is my opinion that theme-based vlogs will thrive while personal vlogs will generally be reserved for friends/family.

And e-mail isn't a direct descendent of the Pony Express or the letters to the Corinthians or whatever? These types of communication are constant themes in human history... we just keep improving them. There's a strong tendency among technologists to see a ideal state coming out of a new technology. That technology will give rise to expressions and freedoms we are just starting to taste.

[videoblogging] Re: multiple video files (per video-blog entry), to show up in iTunes/podcast?
The only list I know of that lists aggregators and whether multiple enclosures is supported is http://www.cadenhead.org/workbench/news/2425/rss-20-enclosure-support Part of the confusion is that Dave Winer, the creator of the RSS 2.0 specification, has stated that multiple enclosures was not intended. If you read the specification, this intention is not explicit, but is implied by the use of the singular enclosure within the specification. By XML definition, technically any ELEMENT (such as the enclosure element) can be simply listed multiple times, but of course this use must be supported by the specification or DTD (which was not supplied originally). Essentially what happened is that each aggregator and/or tool developer interpreted the specification a different way. Leading to where we are now. Another difficulty is whether multiple enclosures should be treated in an AND or OR combination. For example, if you have two enclosures and one is a higher bitrate version of the other one, then that is an OR relationship. If you have two enclosures and one is video about your dog and another is a DOGCAM from your dog's perspective (attached to the collar!) then that would be an AND relationship where the viewer might want to watch both. The generally agreed method for including multiple enclosures is the Media RSS specification which allows any combination of these AND or OR relationships. You could have two photo albums available in two different resolutions and each album could be selected by the user. The biggest advantage of this is that you could have one video with two different pixel sizes: 320x240 and 15fps suitable for portable playback, and one with 720x480 and 30fps suitable for my big screen TV. It is not only the aggregators that need to recognize the Media RSS format, it is the tools used to create the feeds, and it is iTunes that will need to support this format. But good luck with that last one. We all move to the iTunes drum when it means the difference between 1,000 viewers and 10,000 viewers. Incidently, there is a way to support it all: 1) use itunes-specific elements, 2) use a single enclosure element, and 3) use the Media RSS media:content or media:group element as per the Media RSS specification. I think they will all work together in the same feed, plus it should be backwards compatible. Get ready for some light-hearted ribbing! Markus wrote: this it the problem with using aggregators if you rely on them solely, you will miss out on some content (and not just text) And of course if you rely on your browser solely, you will have a bad back from your desk chair you should have replaced in 1983. it seems like it's time for the aggregators to catch up and deal with this issue [insert standard developer-to-developer finger pointing here] It's really a chicken-and-egg-type issue as I'm sure you know. We've stepped up and solved the one-tap (feed:// scheme) and the confusing RSS url (Autodiscovery), but the tools that would use them have not been very forthcoming (or popular). And anyways, noone wants to learn all this crap and then check to see if their tools support it. You can't immediately control whether someone lists your URL with the feed:// scheme. And it's difficult to point people to your homepage and let them enter that into their aggregator (which requires your homepage and the aggregator to support Autodiscovery). Until the tools are created (or modified) to generate these things automatically, support from aggregators will be slow. SO: start asking the developer of your creation tools to support Media RSS, Autodiscovery, feed:// scheme, and while you're at it: OPML lists, RSS source elements, and accurate pubDate times (we are in DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME people!

Hey Enric, I'm not sure why you saw such a sudden increase in iTunes requests, but we've generally been seeing an increase in iTunes subscriptions across the videos served by blip. One thing of note that happened with you, specifically, I think, is getting linked to by Marc Canter. I'm not sure if that could make a difference (in that he may have brought you a different demographic which uses a different set of aggregation tools). I'm guessing that people are finding your vlog on delicious the same way they find anything else, but in this case it's probably people linking to the video file directly from delicious. Your blip stats reflect requests to the video itself -- not your blog. 127.0.0.1 means that someone clicked a link on a Web page that was being served from their own computer.

First of all, the future of RSS-video consumers is not limited to tech-savvy people, and quality production is a must. The shaky cam is a tough one to watch. Your vlog's feed had 248 readers yesterday, which makes you #9 on the FeedBurner list. I'd bet there are more (potential) readers out there for Grand Rapids, backpacking, geocaching, or folk music. There are over 200,000 people living in GR (not including surrounding area), and the other topics you mention are not even limited to a geographic audience. The technology does need to catch up, but the topics you mentioned have a better chance of appealing to the masses. Hypothetically speaking- if you had 5,000 niche readers (let alone 50,000), you could probably make a living with it. Given all that, I still agree w/ the other side of this.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: multiple video files (per video-blog entry), to show up in iTunes/podcast?
FWIW, last week I converted many of my old videos to m4v for iTunes. I simply added them as second enclosures in the relevant existing RSS items. iTunes sees only the m4v files, everyone else sees one or the other or maybe both. Doesn't seem to cause any problems.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: top feedburner vlogs.. steve garfield gets bumped by the boob
As you can tell, this is something I get fired up about. It is my opinion that theme-based vlogs will thrive while personal vlogs will generally be reserved for friends/family. My though on Themed Content Vlogs -VS- Personal Content Vlogs is that both will Thrive depending on which side of the Thriving coin you look at. Rocketboom is a good example of a VLOG with a theme that has a thriving subscription base. However a quick look at vlogmap shows me at least how much the personal vlogs are thriving. I think we are seeing a HUGE proliferation of vlogs, the fast majority of which may be personal vlogs, although there will be a thriving community of personal vlogers few will have a personality that generates a large subscription base for their vlogs. The few who are able to develop a theme and a show like approach will have a better chance at developing a thriving subscription base but as with anything there will be exceptions. That is the excitement!! Those with popular, innovative, entertaining ideas, and those who can truly educate, but are limited by Cash or The Man can overcome those limitations through vlogging and can reach the audience they so richly deserve be it 50,000 daily who love Rocketboom, or 75 people who want Yamadori Tips. And those who are less focused topic wise aren't penalized for it, those with the personality can generate a following of fans, and those who's only interest is ensuring that grandma, and a few cousins who scattered the globe have the latest video of the kittens in the barn or the kids learning to ride a 2 wheeler can do so, and be on equal footing with their distribution capabilities as CBS News regardless of how many viewers they have.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Open Call to Video Bloggers VJs : Get Jiggy
Hello, Topics on vjforums are quite similar to videoblogging topics, you just have to change vj with videoblog ! It's true that video production in a VJ context is really time consuming, most of the time I don't record my video-mixes, because it's extra work (video input, sound level check, extra hardware...) before a gig and after a gig (derush..). and when it come to publish them on line, it still some extra work... And well, video projections in a club or on stage with some extra lights, smoke, sound and people is quite different from the raw recording of the videomix that will feed those tiny compressed video ! I may focus now on how to and home made experiments short clips, explaining how I create my own vj software and interaction, like that one : http://mjukma.free.fr/index.php/2005/10/27/96-scratching-with-midi-and-webcam Bertrand 2005/10/27, Steve Watkins [EMAIL PROTECTED]: That was a glorious post, very well put.I am presently looking after vjcentral and vjforums, and have justrequested that a new sub-forum be created on vjforums.com that deals with all things videoblog-related. If this subforum materialisses, Iwill post to let everyone know. I desperately want to add videopublishng video feed(s) to vjcentral, but the entire site needsrebuilding using a different system first. The biggest incompatibility with any VJing-Videoblogging crossover, isthat many of the available VJing tools do not use audio in a way thatmany videobloggers would like. AS they are mostly live performance tools used by people in clubs, some do not play the audio part ofvideo files at all. Others have the ability to handle audio and doamusing pitch changes/scratching effects to botht eh audio and video.But then we get onto output isues. Some vj software has no ability to record/render the output to a file. Most that do have this feature,totally fail to record the audio.The easiest and most universal workaround for this is to record therealtime video audio output from computer on a seperate external device. But this adds time to the process and is still not easy if youdont have the right hardware.An issue that can put off VJs from putting thir video on the web, isalso audio. Many play in clubs to the DJs music, and dont have their own original audio, so they start to get into the copyright problemsthat get talked about here sometimes. Theres quite a lot of use ofcopyrighted video clips too. But it can be more of an issue for vjsthan videobloggers because its more likely to be considered commercial use. In 99% of cases the industry has taken as little interest in VJcopyright violations as they have videobloggers, but the risk isalways there and is increased if people publish permanently onlinerather than just doing a live show. Most VJs could certainly use additional revenue streams, anddiscussions about alternative payment schemes, micropayments etc, arerelevant. Theres lots of potential for VJs to share content withvideobloggers and vica versa. One thing Id love to see happen in the future, but is reliant on someform of financial model working, is certain kinds of VJs andvideobloggers outsourcing work to eachother. If you want nice graphicsfor your videoblog but arent any good at creating, get a willing VJ to do it. If you are a VJ and you want video clip of a certain buildingin a part of the world you dont live, ask a videoblogger.Steve of Elbows--- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com , Markus Sandy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: timely piece.just last week someone posted some interesting VJ references here on the group and I have been looking into it ever since.Along the way I made the obvious discovery of Apple Tiger's new Quartz Composer (formerly PixalShox Studio).What a tool!If you have Mac Tiger and have not found this on it yet, please do check it out.

[videoblogging] Re: multiple video files (per video-blog entry), to show up in iTunes/podcast?
.mp4 .mov and .m4v are supported on the ipod, but unfortunately these file extensions do not tell the whole story. .m4v as apple have it setup, is h264. Its actually the same as .mp4 h264, they just used a different file extension to confuse everyone/make it open in itunes by default. For maximum compatibility and less confusion I recommend renaming the .m4v's to .mp4 before publishing, unless someone can say why this is a bad idea. Ther are other encoers besides quicktime that can do h264, but for ipod compatibility you have to ensure that it is encoding using the baseline h264 profile, and not main profile. The ipod also plays older types of mpeg4. This is easier to do than h264, and indeed many videoblogs are already ipod compatible due to this. For example 3ivx mpeg4 stuff in a .mov file or a .mp4 file should work, so long as the bitrate doesnt exceed something huge like 2500kbits/sec, the resolution is 320x240 or lower, and the audio is AAC-LC. There are already several ipod encoding guides, mostly using qt7.0.3, other apple software, 3ivx and ffmpeg. I dont have links handy, and in the first week after the announcement some people misread the spec and made assumptions that werent true. The guides are obviously easier to understand than my waffle because they apply to specific tools rather than waffling about all the options. It might be easier to give personalised advice - in an ideal world what tool would you like to use to create ipod video? And if you are interested in the ipod compatible file playing on the widest range of computers, go for older mpeg4 not h264 (for now).

These themes may not garner you a big audience immediately, like say, a tech theme or sex theme, but eventually if you plug away, your audience will find you. There aren't TV channels dedicated to any of those things, as far as I know. I agree, if you started making all your videos about geocaching, you'd probably lose some eyeballs. But that's in the short term. Eventually, the geocachers of the world would find you. I'm willing to be that there are more people out there that want to see you talk about geocaching than there are that want to hear you talk about buttering your toast and going to work (I haven't seen a video about that...just an example, please don't yell at me toast-buttering employed vlogger whoever you are).

Re: [videoblogging] no enclosures
Doh. Sorry if I mis-spoke. I wrote up a lil test page where I can enter a url and it returns the headers of that file or of the 302 behind it ... perhaps in my rush to check the MIME after hearing it as a possible cause I neglected to click the follow 302 button I made... I thought I was checking the 302 but its possible that I didn't. If I messed up, sorry for mis-speaking. I just saw 'text' and shouted Eureka. It seems that removing the mp3 helped though, so if blip.tv's content-type was right all along (as it apparently was) then it seems feedburner must die if you have more than on per post. - Dave -- http://www.DavidMeade.com Yahoo!

Re: [videoblogging] Some changes
Loiez, Thank you for you comment, I like to think that all my work is on the net somewhere where people can view my anthology or evolution into video making from start to finish, a record of what is past, present and future. I guess you are right in raising that question but my target audience is not only dailymotion but worldwide, after all this is the world wide web and a lot of people are putting their vlog content out as podcasts that one can view on the new ipods, I just thought it would be a good thing to try and get a foot into this new and emerging part of the whole publicity thing. x-tad-biggerMerci de vous commentaire, j'aime penser que tout mon travail est sur le filet quelque part où les gens peuvent regarder mon anthologie ou évolution dans la vidéo faisant à partir du début à la finition, un disque de ce qu'est au delà, présent et futur.

Does anyone have a contact on the iTunes team? I'd like to get some stats about how many people have subscribed to us via iTunes.

[videoblogging] While iTunes is In Spot Light is it killing ground roots podcasting?
As a Avid Reader and (Piss Pour Poster) in this group I'v started noticing something quite odd starting to happen in iTunes. As a news media BlackHill.TV is only a video and audio feed for our parent portal BlackHillsToday. Much like the MSN, Foxes and so on, except much smaller. With that said, this is my point and what I've started to notice. It was ground floor, underground media and the efforts possibly of many on this group that literally helped iTunes launch and create the motion and motivation for Podcasting and Vlogging including the much anticipated Video iPod. Then pretty much out of the Blue... Major networks whom didn't want to report this mediaphenomenon other than spuratic blips... started to develop their own podcast, whichare now the only listings onNews Podcasts On Front Page of Podcasts!!! Gee, Thanks Steve. I'm sure you will notice a host of us leaving iTunes unless the focus is brought back aroound to the little guy who made this possible for you and the world. Sure we are in the directory... But the spot light is on the Major Networks... I also noticed that many of the Video Podcasts actually didn't even have VIDEO? that they had featured last week. So my recommendation is please don't subscribe to these major networks and help create the needed activity they need to gain this attention. And if Mr. Apple (Stevie Employment) doesn't change the lime light in Podcasting we should migrate to lets say... YAHOO! Everypage I've seen has a iTunes Chicklet... That can be replaced Steve! Am I wrong? For our media to grow and become credible we have to ban together a the powerful force that we've become. I know my local news, newspaper, tv stations are probably starting to wonder what the "(*%@^" just happened. I don't think our local newspapers are going to carry around video cameras either? So,,, Keep on - Keeping On! By the way I was able to convert windows media to MPEG 4 pretty easy with the information I found at. ipod ripper or it might have been the info from here...I've been to almost everyone vlog and sure welcome your Imput and comments on mine.

I'm wondering how people are finding out about my feeds on iTunes. On prior entries iTunes had a minor position in the Browsers stats area. Also under Referer, I'm getting some views from del.icio.us and one from 127.0.0.1. How are people finding my vlog in del.icio.us? Is it from my tags (gaberivera, marccanter, wordpress, memeorandum, sims, geekdinner, donhopkins)? And is the view from 127.0.0.1 mean that someone local at blip.tv viewed the video off the server? Any other information on the meaning of the stats area of blip.tv would be good. Thanks, Enric Yahoo! Groups Links -- http://www.DavidMeade.com Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Get Bzzzy!

[videoblogging] Video podcasts section of itunes podcast dir has gone
Well that didnt last long. Its no longer there on the front page of the podcasts directory. On the other hand I see tiki bar tv is at number 1 in todays podcasts in the US. As I mentioned previously Apple have different stats for different countries, tiki bar tv is at number 11 in todays uk top 100 podcasts, a popular BBC DJ is at number 1. Steve of Elbows Yahoo!

I read this group from gmail as a Daily digest. The threading works well to keep the conversations. I tag everything videoblogging and can google anything I need related to this group.

Is there a way to redirect a request for a media file that I host to the page that the media file is posted on without breaking the RSS feed? I've been getting a lot of people linking directly to my video files and would like to at least make people aware that there is a larger site that they could find other things of like interest. You mean you want link previously published to be valid but redirect to another location? Sure you can do that. How to do it would depend on the webserver setup ... but most can set up a redirect pretty easily. I'd worry that it would break expectations more than it would be useful. If I see a URL ending in .mov, .mp4, .wmv or whatever, I'm most likely to juct click save as and dump it to my hard drive for later viewing. I'd be pretty annoyed to come back later and find that this .mov file doesn't play in my player. I'm geeky enough to maybe sometimes look inside and realize it contains HTML rather than the movie, but even then I'd just delete it. In the real world, people link to media, and they want the media they link to to stay linked. If it doesn't, you run the risk of copying and re-hosting instead - losing even the implicit connection with your site of the hosting URL - is that what you want? -- Frank Carver http://www.makevideo.org.uk Yahoo!

[videoblogging] Re: While iTunes is In Spot Light is it killing ground roots podcasting?
I dont see the history quite as you describe. Podcasters and videobloggers did not help apple launch itunes. itunes was sucessful because there was a demand for legitimate online music purchasing, coupled with widespread ownership of ipods. The ipod isnt the only portable music player, but it certainly helped insire podcasters, whats why its called podcasting. Certainly later on, once podcasting was established as some sort of force, Apple used it to their advantage, and have done the same with video. As far as the video/audio creators are concerned, its a double-edged sword, apple have given us a potentially much larger audience, ime willt ell if the balance ends up wrong. For example are peoples viewing figures better with itunes, despite the possible bias towards promoting mainstream media, than if podcasters had never been supported by itunes at all? I dont like control being in the hands of the few, so this is not supposed to be a defense of Apple, but Im trying to be realistic. I dont see this as some battle where apple could be defeated, or any evidence that banding together would make us powerful in a way that would change this. Apple have their agenda, they will listen to creators and users sometimes, its good to be vocal about this stuff but I do not think podcasters and videobloggers have any sort of strong leverage over Apple, quite the reverse. The old players still have the advantage because they have the far reaching marketing that makes masses aware of things. On the net this phenomenon has not been so assured, see the past where big corps assumed they would simply make the best portal websites and people would stick with what they fed them. People like diversity and choice, pople will use other podcast videoblog directories to find stuff, not just itunes. But itunes is a way in, even if Apple had no podcasts or videoblogs created by invividuals in their directory at all, we could still thank them for spreading awareness that podcasts and videoblogs exist.

As a news media BlackHill.TV is only a video and audio feed for our parent portal BlackHillsToday . Much like the MSN, Foxes and so on, except much smaller. With that said, this is my point and what I've started to notice. It was ground floor, underground media and the efforts possibly of many on this group that literally helped iTunes launch and create the motion and motivation for Podcasting and Vlogging including the much anticipated Video iPod. Then pretty much out of the Blue... Major networks whom didn't want to report this media phenomenon other than spuratic blips... started to develop their own podcast, which are now the only listings on News Podcasts On Front Page of Podcasts!!! Gee, Thanks Steve. I'm sure you will notice a host of us leaving iTunes unless the focus is brought back aroound to the little guy who made this possible for you and the world. Sure we are in the directory... But the spot light is on the Major Networks... I also noticed that many of the Video Podcasts actually didn't even have VIDEO? that they had featured last week. So my recommendation is please don't subscribe to these major networks and help create the needed activity they need to gain this attention. And if Mr. Apple (Stevie Employment) doesn't change the lime light in Podcasting we should migrate to lets say... YAHOO! Everypage I've seen has a iTunes Chicklet... That can be replaced Steve! Am I wrong? For our media to grow and become credible we have to ban together a the powerful force that we've become.

That damn one-eyed dog got more space in the article than I did!! :) As an online article, I thought it was kinda strange that they didn't link to any of us content makers-- just hosting services. And even then, it was kind of slapshod in where the hotlinks are located. They have that left-hand sidebar of hosting companies where none of them are hotlinked. You would think the NYT would know how to make a useable webpage...but then, they just want me as a soundbite-- I doubt they care if anyone actually saw my work.
