Thanks to my good Christian friend, Bill Devlin, I was made aware of the event and managed to get in--even though there was a notice that press credentials would be checked. I took a Time Magazine with my picture in it along to flash if I was challenged. It proved not to be necessary.

On the walls were ads, fabulous and sexy ads, which you'd have to spend half a lifetime thumbing through magazines to find. I never knew so many sexy and hot ads existed. I got to film them all for my vlog (or vlogs) about this event. I handed out my pink slips promoting Join the Media Revolution with links to Freevlog and this site.

It was quite fascinating. I filmed famous people telling stories about famous people...including Dick Cavet talking about how Yoko Ono and John Lennon who sang a song entitled (I believe) Women are the niggers of the world--and how that caused censorship which he avoided with a lead-in that got more complaints than the song didetc, etc. Well, after it was all over, I got to smooze with the celebs. I gave Catherine Crier a pink flier and told her that vlogging was the new revolution which was bound to raise interesting new legal issues in the near future. At least it got into her purse. Then I turned my camera on Click Cavett, one of my 'old heroes' of television. I couldn't resist the urge to say: Mr. Cavett, I vlog and put my videos on the Internet. Could I ask you a 'politically incorrect' question? Cavett looked open so I popped the question. How old are you? I asked. How old do you think I am? Cavett replied. You're older than me (I'm 67). You have to be at least 75. (I was being kind. He's in his 80s I suspect). Oh, 'you and your silly little camera' (italics mine) Cavett replied and moved on without answering my question. So, tonight one of my 'idols' died. The man who was always upfront and free and who took political correctness to task was 'too traditionally' uptight to tell me his real age. That was really sad, for me. Bill Devlin, my Christian friend, who had enabled me to attend, made fun of me for being an Immortalist when he realized I was the fellow who had been filming him all evening.

[videoblogging] Re: mov in to wmv
It is a challenge, We were doing a presentation at the Apple Store/The Grove and Zadi was showing the audience how to use the I-Tunes link to subscribe to my vlog. My video is in .wmv and the second one was in regular QT. No image showed in the QT view in I-Tunes. Later at home I bit the bullet and bought the new version of QT 7.0 (making sure that I re-named my prior QT folder if things didn't work out). I am now creating: .wmv version .mv4 version .mp4 basic version that should be compatible with QT 6.0 users. Hate the look of it but I don't know how else to get a smaller file size other than postage stamp 160x120. This is a lot of work! I am willing to do it for now but golly gee can somebody make one frigging format that is open to all computer users? As vloggers we can't pretend that the other video formats don't exist. I do think we have to, within reason and time constraints, provide content to as many viewers as posible.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: mov in to wmv
This is also why we chose the development path for vSocial that we did. I personally can't wait until Flash 8 is a bit more ubiquitous, because the On2 codec (as HORRIBLY slow as it is to encode) is a huge improvement over the existing codec. This is also why we keep the original format for feeds as well as offer a transcoded M4V (which I just confirmed works as intended.. posting later about it) feed for iTunes. Too many codecs for average folks to have to handle. Heck, I barely like having to keep up with all of them. :) Bill Streeter wrote: This is exactly why I've taken to posting Flash video for viewing on my blog and Quicktime for the feed subscribers.

[videoblogging] Re: Happy new year
Same here, trying to figure out what to do next year.. In my case, it always ends up involving Mefeedia. Being more international and connecting different communities is superimportant I think.. As a first step, I'm gonna make a Spanish Mefeedia version, so it becomes easier for Spanish speakers to browse the 1000s of videobloggers and discover what's being done.. Later I want to go French, Japanese, you name it.. And I also want to build in ways that those different languages can easily find each others' stuff... because that's the great thing about video! You don't necessarily *have* to speak English to appreciate a lot of the stuff we're doing... Substitling is another part, if I can find a way to let people subtitle each others' videos, that would help spread video as well... When we started this the dream was always to be able to see videos from other countries.. We're already partly there: you can go to http://mefeedia.com/tags/ and there is a list of cities and countries you can browse around in.. Africa, Asia, you name it... The next step is to get them involved and connected. Don't underestimate them: the French, Japanese, Spanish are starting to videoblog like crazy. I want Mefeedia to be a place where you can explore these different parts of the world, and where they can connect. So I guess that's my mission for next year! What's yours?

Hi. Unlike Susan, I love the Pinnacle software. Earlier versions were klugey and crashed a lot but the current one works great, at least on my system. It crashed once in the past year but Premiere does almost nothing BUT crash on my system, so for the $500 price difference Pinnacle Studio is a great value! It's not as sophisticated as Premiere, but I think it's on par with Roxio and the other prosumer software in terms of what you can do with it. Good luck.

I could use some help. I am designing a web site for my former boss, who would like to include a brief (~20 sec) video on the page. This is the page: http://pelvicsupport-aesthetics.com/urinary I have used 3ivx encoding and my boss is unable to get the movie to play for him on two different computers that he has tried. What is my best bet for processing this movie so that it can be seen by the maximum number of people? I would ideally like to have it play imbedded in the page itself, but the site is hosted by yahoo, which does not allow for uploading of movies, so the movie is hosted on Blip. (IF you respond to this message, could you respond to me personally as well as to the group, please? I have had videoblogging turned off and just now turned it back on, but yahoogroups doesn't always begin sending emails immediatelyand I'd hate to lose a response.

In our regional community website we'll be encouraging our local community members to carry out positive and professional grade reporting with their digital media tools. After educating them on how versatile their digital cameras and computers are as a communication tool, and the wonderful streaming technologies available, I would like to compile a primer for those with the willingness and energy, who may not have journalism, communications, broadcasting, or writing in their education or professional background.

Most of our lives we've all been exposed to newspapers, television, and radio, so the news and information reporting formula is not a mystery. But there are fundmental procedures, conduct, and creeds that a writer/reporter/anchor should follow. Before people run out and throw stories together where they didn't research or check facts, nor got the recorded or written permissions of the on-camera or photographed subject matter or interviewee, nor had attention been paid to other important (and possibly liable) details, I afraid we might find ourselves frustrated with the lack of professionalism and good conduct. Therefore, because it wasn't worth all that work, we'd might find ourselves having to shut down the citizen journalism features of our web pages. Web publishing is broadcasting. And in broadcasting there are copyright and lible laws that citizen journalism and vlogging is not immune to.

[videoblogging] LIVE UNCENSORED IN NYC PART 1
I managed to post the first of two vlogs I'll do based on a panel discussion between Dick Cavett, Richard Belzer, Time Blake Nelson, Bill Devlin and Catherine Crier. This vlogging is damn hard work. It was a pleasure to go out and mix with big time media in the art gallery. There was a great exhibition of "Passionate Image: The Body in Art and Advertising". House of Campari was serving the cocktail of your choice. Everyone there was "somebody" (except for , perhaps, yours truly--a little vlogger who managed to get in). As I mentioned in an earlier post, I gave Catherine Crier, whose show I'd been on a couple years ago, my "Join The Media Revolution" flier. Richard Belzer thought the idea of vlogging, with "gatekeepers" stripped of their power was a great idea. Dick Cavett counseled that I "shouldn't be ashamed" of posting video on the Internet because "there is nothing wrong with that" and then got a bit defensive when I asked him how old he was. Actually, he answered my question (the amazing things you discover while editing video!). He was "five" at the time of Pearl Harbor, making him 69 years old. Actually, I wish I had lead with a less "offensive question" (we all learn by doing). I wanted to ask him if he was currently working on any projects and if "age discrimination" was something he was encountering. The problem I have with editing vlogs is that limitation of four or five minutes of video or 20 MB. What a bummer! There is one fellow who uses flash and puts us four to eight five and six minute videos every week (they play instantly also). What can you say in one to five minutes? Not a whole lot. Actually, having to deal with this limitation is very interesting. I think of newscasters who have a complicated story to tell and are only allowed a minute or two to tell it. I guess having such limitations makes you refine your message and pick the important parts of your video tape. I actually managed to cut the material for the first part of my report down from about twelve minutes to four and a half. But just logging the footage, putting about 30 minutes of it into my Mac, then editing it and compressing it and posting it took about seven hours of labor. Vlogging is not for the faint of heart or for the lazy. It is a special calling for those willing to spend hours collecting, logging and then editing their footage to share with the world. I can't put up my second part as soon as I would like. Some filmmakers are flying me to Indianapolis, Indiana, to interview me for a film they have sold to an affiliate of Fox (pray for me). I have to just take a couple days off and then dive back into finishing the second part of my report which I hope to have up by Monday nightno promises :) Vloggingly yours, Randy Wicker Randolfe (Randy) Wicker Videographer, Writer, ActivistAdvisor: The Immortality InstituteHoboken, NJhttp://www.randywickerreporting.blogspot.com/201-656-3280 SPONSORED LINKS Individual Fireant Typepad Use YAHOO!

Anyone using this? http://homepage.mac.com/tylerl82/ iSquint is an iPod video conversion app. It's up to 5 times faster than Apple's method, works well with AVIs and MPEGs, and it's infinitely free-er. It's also rather easy. Give it your file, choose TV screen or iPod screen size, set your quality, and away you go.. On a 1.5GHz G4, iSquint can convert most video files to iPod-screen-sized videos in realtime. Depending on a few factors, a 20 minute video will take up anywhere from 50-150MB of disk space. -- Mica ScalinHello?http://www.micawave.tvhttp://www.micascalin.net YAHOO!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: LIVE AND UNCENSORED IN NEW YORK CITY
I think he used "your silly little camera" as an excuse and in an effort to make me insignificant. Actually,if you read my other posts, he actually answered my question "indirectly" by saying he was five during pearl Harbor--which would make him 69 years old. I really dislike people who are "uptight" about their age. I actually thought he was in his eighties. Maybe I was wrong. I guess so. Why can't "real people" be realistic about their age. I'm 67 and make no bones about it. When I'm 80, I still won't make no bones about it.

So, there I was in the elite world of "blue activism" (???). Therewas an open bar (always to be avoided) and orderves enough to make youfeel totally elite. On the walls were ads, fabulous and sexy ads, which you'd have tospend half a lifetime thumbing through magazines to find. I neverknew so many sexy and hot ads existed. I got to film them all for myvlog (or vlogs) about this event. I handed out my pink slips promoting "Join the Media Revolution"with links to Freevlog and this site. Of course, I plugged my ownsite and email address at the end. Waiting in line at the bathroom, I gave my pink fliers to two of theorganizers of the event. Events on the wall of the gallery lookedvery "liberal" and "leftist" to me. No problem there. I joined the audience and stood up against a wall near the frontfilming the entire event. It was quite fascinating. I filmed famouspeople telling stories about famous people...including Dick Cavettalking about how Yoko Ono and John Lennon who sang a song entitled (Ibelieve) "Women are the niggers of the world"--and how that causedcensorship which he avoided with a lead-in that got more complaintsthan the song didetc, etc. Well, after it was all over, I got to "smooze" with the celebs. Igave Catherine Crier a pink flier and told her that "vlogging was thenew revolution" which was bound to raise interesting new legal issuesin the near future. At least it got into her purse. Then I turned my camera on Click Cavett, one of my

[videoblogging] Re: LIVE AND UNCENSORED IN NEW YORK CITY
Who are real people? Do you really dislike people who are uptight about their age, or just dislike the fact they are uptight but not the person? If you dont like seeing humans in an armoured defensive state, then I fear a problem that sometimes carrying a camera will increase this phenomenon. I guess theres also a difference between someone being uptight about their age, and someone being offended if you guess their age as much higher than it actually is. Im only 30 so its easy for me to say I dont care about my age, who knows what my attitude will be when Im older. But if I decided to be open, that doesnt mean I demand everyone else to be too? Id probably take offense at your prying and percive it as a total lack of respect for privacy, or get paranoid that it was a trap to make me look stupid on video, and my defenses would go up regardless of me not really caring if people know my age. And what about women? I was taught it is rude to ask a womans age, though I guess that maybe sexist, especially as it origins may have something to do with concepts about a mans age being something to be proud of, 'increased worth', vs Women being percieved as 'past it'. This isnt what I think, just trying to understand the logic behind it, maybe its tied to fertility or something. Maybe its still tragically true in certain fields, such as older acresses struggling to find as many roles as older men, forced into premature retirement due to the image-based demands of a one-dimensional sex-obsessed industry/society? Please forgive me for stating my opinion on this, I couldnt help myself. On reflection I think I have a bone to pick with the whole immortality thing too. As we experience life as self-aware beings with an apparently finite lifetime, and struggle to imagine a world without ourselves (what use is it to me if Im not there? etc), its completely natural to dream of such things I suppose. But I suggest that only in the current age where the resource realities of our world have become so disconnected from the realities we experience each day, can the idea be considered in any way just. Why should the energies of humankind be focussed even partially on keeping those who have already lived a long life, going for huge and unnaturally extra decades, in a world that does not yet focus enough energy on preventing the deaths of staggering numbers of children every day from disease and malnutrition? Furthermore I suggest that via the use of fossil fuels, we have already artifically changed the life-support capacity of our planet in a way that will not be sustainable once the oil etc have gone. For every premature death that the industrial revolution has caused, it has also created many systems of support that are in some ways unnatural in their scale, at the very least a large distortion, because we are using up millions of years worth of energy in just a hundred or so years. For me the only possible immortality works in a very different way, science never gives me hope for such things, quite the opposite, it is the destroyer of many conforting possible 'phlosophical/spiritual' beliefs relating to the self being immortal. It leads me back to age, for time is the answer to me, how we think about time. We are all immortal if time is not seen merely as linear. Sure we experience it in a linear way, but it that it? Do I not always exist in November 2005, typing this message? Think beyond the eternal now and we are all immortal. Anyway you in no way deserve this rant, its just the topic got me thinking.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: LIVE AND UNCENSORED IN NEW YORK CITY
Sorry, Steve, I'm a fan of your vlogs but I have to disagree with your comments. "Being honest" begins with the person. Someone who is defensive about their age is someone with a badly flawed value system. I was hoping Dick Cavett would have told me he was 80 years old and proud of it! I guess I was wrong in thinking he was "much" older than myself. That doesn't matter. We all live in a world in which we are getting older and closer to death every minute. Forgive me, but I am an Immortalist (someone who dreams of defeating aging and living forever). I value nothing more than honesty and openness. When someone asks to "ask a politically incorrect question" and the subject eagerly says "bring it on" and then gets defensive..well, that is disappointing. I've always thought some of the "proprieties" of our society were wrong. They say you never ask how old someone is, what their income is and what rent they pay. What is wrong with this world??? I'm 67 years old. I have an income of about 25,000 annually and my rent is $939.10 a month. What is the big deal??? I really wanted to ask Dick Cavett if he was working on new projects and if he was facing age discrimination in doing so. That would be significant. However, his vanity prevented me from going that far. That is sad!!! Women should realize that being open about their age is really a step toward freedom. An intelligent, functioning, powerful woman who is eighty years old really towers over a thirty-five-year-old sex kitten with limited mental capacity. Don't pull this "politically correct" nonsense that one "shouldn't ask a woman what her age is" on me. If she is thirty, I know she can bear children. if she is forty, I know she is unlikely to do so. Just realities of age, no prejudice intended. I think you young people should embrace a "lets-be-honest-about-our-age" ethic. Truth is really always the best policy. Cavett actually answered my question (assuming I knew Pearl Harbor was in 1941 and his being five made 1936 his birth year. When I guess his age at 75, he should have shot back at me: "Are you crazy? I'm only 69! You need glasses because I don't look that old!" I would have been chastised correctly in that manner. Actually, if you see both vlogs, you will see that "old" Dick Cavett was actually one of the most outspoken and free people there.

Re: [videoblogging] hi guys
regarding chroma effects, i've had good results with the sheets that they sell, though they're also expensive. some tips: - as much separation between the subject and the screen as you can manage (essentially forcing any inconsistencies in the screen/wall out of focus) - extremely flat/even lighting. ie big soft sources. maybe that'll help. good luck. -daniel On Nov 18, 2005, at 11:02 PM, David Meade wrote: Well you want to use as close to pure green (255 green) or pure blue (255 blue) paint as you can.

[videoblogging] Re: LIVE AND UNCENSORED IN NEW YORK CITY
I only ever made 3 vlogs so I think you maybe confusing me with a Steve that is more productivein that department. I value honesty and openness too, Im just saying thats not the same as demanding it of other people. I also feel dissapointment when people are not able to be open about whatever subject, but I dont want to turn that into hate for them. I was just thinking out loud that when armed with a video camera, some people will go into a slightly more defensive mode than if it was 'off the record'. I definately have a problem understanding how a desire for everyone to embrace being honest about their age matches up with notions about defeating aging mechanisms via immortality stuff. Is it any less realistic to pretend youre 10 years younger than to dream of living an extra 30 years? In regards to women, I wasnt pulling political correctness on you, I was trying to ask about the phenomenon, to understand it better, not defend or promote it. Anyway I should probably stop talking about this stuff here as its not too ontopic, except I wouldnt mind hearng peoples experiences of the effect that sticking a camera in someones face can have. Certainly my favorite 'snapshots of real life' videoblogs feature people being unguarded on camera, when I see awkward guarded stuff, it makes me feel guarded too.

My vlog posts are created, edited as well as posted directly from my mobile phone. I use MMS (or Multimedia Messaging or picture messaging or whatever your provider calls it) to post videos to my vlog. You can see what I do by visiting http://www.mobvcasting.com/wp/ The reason I am writing to you all, is that I am almost to the point where I feel comfortable offering this capability to all who are brave enough to try. Although I am not ready for offering personalized service (which would entail posting to your blog though mobvcasting), I have opened up a test MobVCasting vlog that anyone is free to post to. I am calling it OpenVlog at MobVCasting. You can see it at: http:// www.openvlog.mobvcasting.com/ Anyone is welcome to use their mobile phone to post to this open vlog. You will need a video capable phone and the ability to send MMS (multimedia messages or picture mail or whatever your provider calls it) to an email address. The address for this service is [EMAIL PROTECTED] The subject of your message will be the title of the post and any text in the body of the message becomes the body of the text. One last thing, your mobile phone provider may charge you to send MMS messages. So if you give it a shot, don't go overboard until you get your first bill.
