[videoblogging] Vlogging: The New Cable Access
http://www.mnstories.com/archives/2006/02/cable_fable.html I just can't keep this one to myself... check out this grainy video from 1980. It was shot when George Stoney, aka the godfather of public access came to the Twin Cities to help folks setup cable access. The best part is learning what a handful of people thought about television. Especially this quote: I believe television will remain an intruder in the home until the viewer can become his own editor. Well folks -- we're here. We're doing it. Consuming and creating, as active participants. It's exciting, isn't it? vlog love, chuck http://mnstories.com Yahoo!

Re: [videoblogging] stickam
I think we can respectfully make suggestions regarding how some vloggers view the set of needs for video publishing however IMHO we should not tell them how to run their businesses. If a host wants to show their logo or use Flash it's their business decision, it doesn't make them bad or evil, the way I see it they can do whatever they want. Same for anyone. I'm intrigued by how successful these new Flash hosting companies are doing, look at the youtube growth figures, look at how cool the vsocial flash is, look at what Rodrigo is cooking up, look at the media deals Brightcove is doing. So why again is Flash is bad? I just posted a streaming flash of Jakob and James from one of our shoots and though I prolly overcompressed this web clip I'm liking the usability factor.

Following Creative Commons Licensing is very important so we can create a true remix culture. if its all just streaming Flash...id be very worried. Jay

[videoblogging] More links to the vlogosphere

People already tell us they get a lot of traffic from Mefeedia, this should increase it even more for feeds that have lots of tags. I added +20,000 links on 5,000 pages to permalinks in about 800 videoblogs (the ones with tags). Linky love for the vlogosphere - spread it! If you use feedburner the permalinks go through feedburner (they rewrite the RSS feeds) so you might see an increase in referrals from them. So yeah.. Peter -- http://mefeedia.com Yahoo!

[videoblogging] Tour De Vloggers - February is San Francisco
Hi folks! Remember that little Tour De Vloggers thing I wanted to set up a few months ago? Well, on the word doc that's in the files section of this group, I list San Francisco as the site for February's Tour De Vloggers stop, and Schlomo as the organizer! Schlomo, are you still interested in setting up a meetup in San Fran on the last weekend of Feb? The point behind Tour De Vloggers is to set up one city a month (to start) and have a meetup there--so, for instance, everyone knows that in February the meetup is going to be in San Francisco. It would allow people to travel to different sites, if they could, and get to meet new vloggers from that area! I show San Antonio as March's Tour De Vloggers stop, Michael, if you'd like to be thinking about that... Thanks guys! Check out the Tour De Vloggers doc and add your city if you would like to volunteer to be a coordinator. It's easy--could be as simple as picking a local restaurant or bar for people to meet at on a Saturday night! Talk to you all soon-- Susan http://vlog.kitykity.com Yahoo!

[videoblogging] Re: Consumers Crave Web-Based TV
This is the exact same subject I was going to approach after Bill posted the survey showing that people prefer watching video on their television screens. The whole thing makes sense because you get to sit on a comfy couch and the video takes up the whole screen... who WOULDN'T want to watch all their favorite shows like that... As someone raised on Star Trek, though, I understand that we must find a way (besides TiVo, which is not available up here in Canada) to make it easier to place our favorite web-based content on our big screen TVs. [I wrote a whole bunch of other stuff here, but I ended up just babbling.] The truth is, we basically have all the technology we need right now... we just need: a) someone to explain exactly how to set everything up or someone to put out a product that will open internet content to our television screens; b) to make sure our videoblogs are good quality so that they look and sound alright when they're blown up to fit our TV screens.

Re: [videoblogging] Survey users prefer watching video on TV
This survey is a juxtaposition that discards differences of Video originally intended for TV or Theatres and that which is more native to a computer/internet (vlogs). Primarily, typical length of online video being less than 10 minutes verses 20-50 minutes TV programs. young people are unlikely to want to use a device as versatile and interactive as the PC to do something as passive as TV watching. In many ways, PC-generation users use the TV to relax from their PC activitiesYes, people like to watch TV on TV.What a shock ;-)Yeah, we'll see an increased interest in watching online video on TV as well... I know that. Apple and their new mac mini should open up more interest in this too. But their will always be a vast number of people watching video on their puters and on the web and on portable devices. This wont change and will increase in fact. Wolpin believes the industry is missing a key revenue opportunity by not focusing on getting web-based video to the TV.Please. How is it a missed opportunity when looking forward this opportunity will still be sitting their? I'd even say it has been too early for the opportunity to garner the type of benefit and money that it will over the next 5 years. Nothing being missed here unless you consider corporate deal-making and exclusive contracts 'the opportunity' but more likely such contracts will be short-termed as multiple outlets are better than 1 or a few (for content owners like NBC etc). People who like and even need passive TV watching no matter what the content are prob always going to prefer the couch and TV. But they have little to do with the culture of videoblogging or the more broad culture of viral video and contagious media. More and more content creators emerge or migrate to the Internet. Video will be as common as text on the web. It will always be a normal part of the online experience. It's all inevitable. Do you want to watch a video clip captured from a cell phone on a TV? Or a vlog video formatted for 320x240? It will be more aggressive productions that will cater to the TV platform and that people will want to see on TV more so than other cases... not absolutely, but generally. Point- most online video is best viewed on a puter, on the web, on a portable device. These are smaller vids, easier to make, more viral and distributable than a vid that would prob need to be hundreds of mbs or gbs to look and sound proper on a TV and if its not, it takes away from the content itself and the viewing experience is damaged. This all isnt to say that the TV device is bad for the culture of content creators. Its good and as soon as 'the network' can handle the load of higher quality digital video being published by millions... then i'll buy into it more. For now, it will be good because new content can be made available that normally would never get past the intermediaries and broadcasted... That's cool... This or That comes to mind. So it's all good. More variety, more options for when I am actually in the mood to watch my TV (not often these days). I just dont think it is or should be or will be ALL about the TV device. Especailly the TV device of today. I look forward to when TiVo becomes a more bloggy platform.

Interest in watching content on TV is even stronger among 18- to-34-year-olds--at 68 percent, compared with the 45 percent interested in watching on PCs--concluded the study, conducted in association withHorowitz Associates. -- best regards, Deirdré Straughan www.beginningwithi.com (personal) www.tvblob.com (work)Yahoo!

You don't have to use a .mac account to use it. You can publish anywhere. I played around a bit with iWeb, and was suprised to see that the output was nearly a pure CSS layout.

That's very true, Bill, just not efficiently. What I had said was that in order to get the full functionality and ease of use out of iWeb you need .Mac... it allows you to have features such as advanced slide shows (without .Mac you can still have basic slideshow), password protected pages, and one-click publishing (this is the big one). Without .Mac you export the entire site to a folder, then either manually choose which files need to be uploaded through your ftp app, or you upload the whole site each time. I didn't readily see a way to publish to a folder without publishing the entire site, which makes using a 'sychronization' feature in your ftp client impossible.

[videoblogging] Stickam Videoblogging chatroom (videoconferencing)
I've created a videoblogging room under Chatroom tab at http://www.stickam.com. The chat room is private with the PASSWORD: vlog Then click the Enter this room link. It is listed under the Computers Internet section. The link to the stickam Chat Rooms is: http://www.stickam.com/editChatRoom.do?method=loadroomId=17011 The chat rooms also have video and audio conferencing similar to the flashconference meetings except everyone interacts simultaneously. Be aware there is a delay between receiving video and a CB like approach may be best (over, pause). I'm pretty sure it uses the same Macromedia technology of the Flash Media Server that Flash Meeting appears to use.

Re: [videoblogging] Ogg Theora Usage and Support?
I would guess - practically none. I used it in a recent piece with Richard Stallman, at his insistence, but actually didn't include it in my podcast rss, as I thought it just wouldn't be viewable for most. http://punkcast.com/905/ It does have native supprt in VLC, and there are plug-ins for WMP and Real http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theora#Playing_Theora_videos I was pretty happy with the results, @600kpbs, but had troubles holding sync when encoding. I ended making an interim 30fps mpg2 and then using ffmpeg2theora to encode. It does not stream without a streaming server. joly Hello, I just joined this mailing list, so please excuse me if this has already come up before. (I tried searching the mailing list archive, but Yahoo! seemed to have trouble completing the search.) I'm doing a little reseach, and I was wondering what kind of Ogg http://theora.org/Theora usage and support there currently is. (Not sure if anyone has this info, but) What percentage of vloggers are making Ogg Theora video available. What vlog aggregating software can play Ogg Theora videos? Thanks.

[videoblogging] Exact conversions for Adobe Premier elements to QT
Okay here's the dealio gang. I've been using the approximate settings for a avi to QT conversion in my Adobe Premier elements but I'm always concerned that film integrity is being compromised and/or lost in the conversion. Is anyone else using Adobe Premier elements and if so... PLEASE for the love of God could you email me with the exact conversion stats? It would be incredibly helpful.

[videoblogging] Re: stickam
Alexa is daily reach per million people on the web, as I understand it. They also give you an overall rank as to your absolute popularity (as measured in traffic to your domain) on the web. They measure traffic through certain gateways on the web, so measurements may not be entirely accurate, especially for smaller sites with certain regional followings. However, as a means of looking at longer term trends and comparisons between sites/domains, they are the best tracking there is. In the case of YouTube, they have done an amazing job of getting reach, although the figures are skewed somewhat as all the video clips that are hosted by them that play at myspace, etc are all counted as traffic 'cause they hit their domain in order to play. This was made clear when MySpace blocked video hosted at YouTube - YouTube's traffic rankings immediately dipped. Quoted figures around YouTube suggest they are getting 1-2 mm unique viewers per month to the Site, which is impressive, although the Alexa figures would suggest the traffic is even higher (because of the hosted video traffic). What will be even more interesting will be to see if YouTube can turn all this traffic into moneymoneymoneymoney. They must have a plan for this and it will be exciting to see it emerge. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Enric [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It's probably the number of hits or something like that, rathar than unique individuals per day. -- Enric --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, robert a/k/a r robert.videoblogging@ wrote: graph is from alexa.com -- cheers r Deconstructing the status quo, collaboratively my vlog: http://r.24x7.com good deal : http://foo.24x7.com On Feb 16, 2006, at 1:36 PM, Enric wrote: Shouldn't the graph heading be Daily Reach (per thousand)?

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Exact conversions for Adobe Premier elements to QT
I would love to give you an answer but it does seem that Premiere Elements is doing something weird. When I export movie and select DV-AVI or Quicktime and configure it for DV I get a file that is only a little more than half the file size of my original DV file. What's going on?

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Exact conversions for Adobe Premier elements to QT
Here's what I did:I captured video as DV-AVI in WMM. I exported it as a DV-AVI file. These two files seemed to be exactly the same - same codes, same file size, same data rate, etc.I imported that DV-AVI file into Premiere Elements and did the export movie thing. I tried a number of settings - Defaults, and custom. I got a file that looks to be DV except that the size of the file is very small 180MB vs 360MB and the data rate is of course lower 30.30mbits/sec vs 57.50mbits/secI don't see a way to correct that.

[videoblogging] Re: Survey users prefer watching video on TV
Sure, with the crappy web video user interface we have today (play/pause + slider), it's no surprise that people prefer to watch TV programs on TVs. TV programs were made for TV sets. What's so surprising to me, actually, is how high the numbers are for computers given this fact and the fact that the present web video UI is sooo bad.I and some colleagues working on a startup devoted to making a better web video interface. By "better" we mean *much* more interactive and participative. The fact that the current web video UI is sooo out of step w/ the rest of the web culture is the problem we aim to solve. What users will end up with are videos that are far more discoverable (without clicking "Play" and waiting) and alive (in that they enable viewers to add valuable content to them). It shouldn't be too long before you're able to check this out yourselves... ; )Once we all have web video UIs like what my colleagues and I are working on, I think the numbers of people interested in viewing video on computers will shoot up far beyond what's reported in that study...The huge value of computers over TVs is that they are far more "programmable" so that they can adapt to user needs. As TVs come to be powered more by computers (the way we think of computers - not a closed architecture system), these benefits will transfer to TVs as well. However, at that point, we're at that "convergence point" that everyone is looking forward to.On Feb 16, 2006, at 10:47 AM, videoblogging@yahoogroups.com wrote:Message: 9 Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2006 10:27:30 -0500 From: Michael Sullivan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Survey users prefer watching video on TV This survey is a juxtaposition that discards differences of Video originally intended for TV or Theatres and that which is more native to a computer/internet (vlogs). Primarily, typical length of online video being less than 10 minutes verses 20-50 minutes TV programs. "young people are unlikely to want to use a device as versatile and interactive as the PC to do something as passive as TV watching. In many ways, PC-generation users use the TV to relax from their PC activities" Yes, people like to watch TV on TV. What a shock ;-) Yeah, we'll see an increased interest in watching online video on TV as well... I know that. Apple and their new mac mini should open up more interest in this too. But their will always be a vast number of people watching video on their puters and on the web and on portable devices. This wont change and will increase in fact. Wolpin believes the industry is missing a key revenue opportunity by not focusing on getting web-based video to the TV. Please. How is it a missed opportunity when looking forward this opportunity will still be sitting their? I'd even say it has been too early for the opportunity to garner the type of benefit and money that it will over the next 5 years. Nothing being missed here unless you consider corporate deal-making and exclusive contracts 'the opportunity' but more likely such contracts will be short-termed as multiple outlets are better than 1 or a few (for content owners like NBC etc). People who like and even need passive TV watching no matter what the content are prob always going to prefer the couch and TV. But they have little to do with the culture of videoblogging or the more broad culture of viral video and contagious media. More and more content creators emerge or migrate to the Internet. Video will be as common as text on the web. It will always be a normal part of the online experience. It's all inevitable. Do you want to watch a video clip captured from a cell phone on a TV? Or a vlog video formatted for 320x240? It will be more aggressive productions that will cater to the TV platform and that people will want to see on TV more so than other cases... not absolutely, but generally. Point- most online video is best viewed on a puter, on the web, on a portable device. These are smaller vids, easier to make, more viral and distributable than a vid that would prob need to be hundreds of mbs or gbs to look and sound proper on a TV and if its not, it takes away from the content itself and the viewing experience is damaged. This all isnt to say that the TV device is bad for the culture of content creators. Its good and as soon as 'the network' can handle the load of higher quality digital video being published by millions... then i'll buy into it more. For now, it will be good because new content can be made available that normally would never get past the intermediaries and broadcasted... That's cool... "This or That"http://thisorthat-video.blogspot.com/2006/02/bunny-luv-makes-cake.htmlcomes to mind. So it's all good. More variety, more options for when I am actually in the mood to watch my TV (not often these days). I just dont think it is or should be or will be ALL about the TV device. Especailly the TV device of today. I look forward to when TiVo

[videoblogging] video on the web verses video on the desktop verses video on TV verses....
So beyond the usual suspects speaking their mind about all this video stuff myself included I'm interested to read or watch opinions of others on this mailing list... maybe some who more often lurk... maybe you have a vlog and are looking for the topic of your next post Remember we used to all crave having conversations through vlogging well I don't see that much of it. Here is an opportunity. Do you enjoy watching vlog video on:+ The Web+ Desktop Media Player and/or Aggregator+ TV+ Portable Media Player (viPod, PSP etc)Questions questions questions.Please explain your opinions and describe your the type of net video consumer you are. Are you hard core? Spend several hours a day watching video? Are you more casual and periodically will watch some video throughout the day?Are you a remixer? Do you need/like to organize all the video from channels you subscribe to for later? Do you typically watch the same video more than once?

Re: [videoblogging] Does RSS suck? Do RSS readers waste bandwidth?
There are a lot of uses for RSS beyond aggregation and aggregators.RSS is simply the standard that has taken precendence for delivery of microcontent, i.e. blog entries/news, and now podcasts/media/video. For video this provides much needed contextual metadata that is otherwise not present or very hard to access because its embedded inside the files (which are large) and cannot be easily queried or requested without access to the whole file. This metadata is a beginning foundation for something much larger than video-on-demand services, but also filtering, search, linking, discovery, and much more. Open standards like this push the web forward... sure RSS and the interfaces for consuming it could be better. All it is is an XML format for encapsulation of data. What you do with it from that point is completely open and it will transform the way we interact with media and content in profound ways that are only now emerging and many that have yet to be explored. -JoshOn 2/16/06, Michael Sullivan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A few articles I have read this week suggest so. well, not entirely, but you'll understand the context one you read.

Re: [videoblogging] Does RSS suck? Do RSS readers waste bandwidth?
BTW, the bandwidth question is kind of silly... you'd use up more bandwidth if those people were viewing your website with all the images and style formatting and so forth. Back to my point about data though... RSS just happens to be the de facto standard and the one with the widest support. That's not to say there's any problem with other formats like Atom or even the proposed microformats for blog entries (see Andres's meta-profile for blogs as an early example). Yet still, RSS has the widest adoption and support... especially in terms of podcasting since Blogger doesn't even support Atom 1.0 yet (which does have a rel=enclosure element that no one uses). -josh On 2/16/06, Joshua Kinberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: There are a lot of uses for RSS beyond aggregation and aggregators.

How does/can this apply to videoblogging?I do think that alot of current practice with RSS (and Atom) is a bit dumb and wasteful. However, the are already solutions in place for alot of these problems. (People have already solved these problems before.) For example, given that we get RSS (and Atom) feeds via HTTP we can use HTTP conditional gets. Let me elaborate (for those that don't know what HTTP conditional gets) Most web clients (like web browsers) have a cache where they store stuff they already downloaded. They use this so they don't download the same exact file over and over again. (Doing this makes things faster.) So (with an HTTP conditional get), the web client says to the web server I want to download this file,... but only give me it if it changed, else don't bother, and just tell me it is the same, and grab it from my cache. Currently, the only 2 HTTP conditional gets that are defined in IETF RFCs are: If-None-Match with ETag and If-Modified-Since with Last-Modified. (Although, just out of coincidence, I've been talking about creating another one over on the P2P hackers mailing list that's used to shunt a web client over to a P2P network, so it can get the file from there. It's even motivated by vlogging, vidcasting, Internet TV, or whatever you want to call it. But anyways,) Making use of HTTP conditional gets would reduce the bandwidth problems.But that's only part of the problem. What about notification? I think that that's an active area of development. And we'll see things coming out for this in the coming the next few years. I think alot of the large companies in this are pushing for a kind of P2P system for this. (Wish I remember the name of the mailing list that this is being discussed on. It was mesh something... or something like that.) In the long run, I think we'll see a reinvention of NNTP and USENET.So, RSS (and Atom) good... but more people need to start using HTTP properly. (And we need are few more technological advancements.)

Re: [videoblogging] Does RSS suck? Do RSS readers waste bandwidth?
i agree bandwidth question is silly and that the application usage is more the issue i also like your example, but i think it bears rethinking. consider a typical vlog... In the first time visit scenario, the browser most likely consumes less bandwidth than the aggregator. This depends mainly on how much media is automatically downloaded versus how much is viewed in browser. I think a person is likely to be more selective in the browser. in the repeat visit scenario, much of the website and/or media is already cached in both cases. in this case (and assuming no recent formatting changes to the vlog's template), it is generally just the page html and the most recent image that needs to be fetched as the stylesheets, scripts and other images will most likely have been cached during previous visits. on the other hand, a media aggregator will download a comparably sized document if there are full descriptions) and the new content. Again, we may choose not to view the content once we see the title and so the browser again may be more efficient. But then who wants to wait on the browser? Not me. :) I love fireant. And we have not even addressed the issue of how many times do you visit a site via your aggregator vs browser question.

Re: [videoblogging] video on the web verses video on the desktop verses video on TV verses....
Hello,(This is actually a research area of mine :-) )(Note sure I have enought time to answer all those questions, but) I think people are going to eventually be watching vlogs, vidcasts, vodcasts, Internet TV, etc, on their big screen TVs. Sure they'll watch it on their computer (and phone or whatever other device they have) too. But it won't be the main way people watch. Now having said that, you get all sorts of new problems when you have hundreds of thousands of shows out there able to be download on demand.

Re: [videoblogging] Does RSS suck? Do RSS readers waste bandwidth?
You're talking more about a media aggregator like FireAnt as opposed to a browser. Sure, FireAnt will use up the bandwidth required to download the media, so would your browser if you were viewing as much media. But the article is describing regular News Readers as consuming too much bandwidth which is untrue compared to browsers. Your blog header image is likely a larger file than your RSS feed. And, if your News Reader is any good, it should cache feeds or use conditional GETs as Charles pointed out, thus the bandwidth is minimal assuming that the feed isn't updated literally *all* the time. Besides, we're talking mostly about computers with broadband access... a 25k document is hardly worth crying about unless you're literally slammed with a a ton of simultaneous users. Even then its hardly any bandwidth on the receiving end. -Josh On 2/16/06, Markus Sandy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i agree bandwidth question is silly and that the application usage is more the issue i also like your example, but i think it bears rethinking. consider a typical vlog...

i understand and agree, i was mainly just diving deeper into how the bandwidth was consumed vs cached. the main point is that they are different for these apps; but then so are their purposes and hence the difficulty in comparison as you say Joshua Kinberg wrote: I'm sorry...

[videoblogging] Finally a video podcast that brings you the freshest in British new music
Hey, Hope this finds you well. Here's the first podcast from a pet project of mine. The 3 Minute Gig Video Podcast is a live music podcast filmed at one of Manchester UK's esteemed live music venues. We (www.realfresh.tv) film a night of live music with the freshest bands on the indie music scene here, grab a handful of interviews with each of them and then edit the whole thing into a series of podcasts. The 3 Minute Gig is the first of many. Check it: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=125277402s=143444 Hope you like. Comments welcome either way. I've been a long time lurker on this group and I have to say I've been regularly impressed by the quality and quantity of 'postage'. Here's a cyber hi-five to Mr PunkCast, I was well-impressed to see someone else doing a similar thing and doing it well for quite a while. Respect. Ditto Ms. Rock N Roll TV. And also to the 'Boom boy, Andrew. You may notice my homage to your show in the 'watch' pages of www.realfresh.tv. Keep rocking. My question to the technically inclined is this: how does one go about shrinking a 320MB .m4v file into something that is more manageable for download and upload? I'd like to 'podcast up' the 30 minute edits we have of the launch night but they are very large. We are currently making one available as a .wmv download. Not ideal but the file size is a more manageable 60MB. Does anyone else have any experience of creating 20minutes plus of video for podcasting. Are there compression programs I should try out? Do you warn potential subscribers about the file size/potential long download in your summary file or just serve it up? What could go wrong, if, say a download was halted, for example?

Yes, I enjoy it. Content makes it good for me. My preferences run less to the "artsy" videos and more to those which let me know something of the vlogger's life.

Just QuickTime and WindowsMediaPlayer. Do you care about online video working like a TV so you can channel surf?

[videoblogging] Re: stickam
Thanks Deirdre, and thanks Robert. I hadn't checked this email in a while so I missed first part of this discussion, but I think that while the first generation of online video hosting sites aren't exactly what you want them to be, they are still learning from user behaviors. So as early adopters use the site, the features have to be very general out of necessity to cast the widest nets. As these services mature an the market shakes out you'll see the different sites cater with features to respective their audiences/users. So the advanced features that this group seeks are somewhat different than the 14 year old kid who is making goofy video, or someone just uploading the latest tivoed South Park Episode. What we have found is that many film makers don't have their own destinations or traffic so YouAreTV provides that foot traffic. Where as many people in this group have their own destination and are only seeking a hosting service and an embedded player to place in their blog. So I'd say that is something to keep in mind as you are doing your comparison, and perhaps when all is said and done say This site is great for... I have not see that being pondered or discussed yet. That is, how the various video sites fit different needs. Just something to ponder.

Re: [videoblogging] Does RSS suck? Do RSS readers waste bandwidth?
right.i too was skeptical of the math but like i have time to truly confirm such a scenario... nope.but in general i was interested in the thought about bandwidth abuse by software. its not something talked much about... maybe because its a non-issue but i would need to investigate all variables to know for sure. for instance... even though the article was in no way discussing media aggregators like FA, i sometimes wonder if such apps are efficient as they should be. This is both a technical query and a user tendency query with the latter, i refer to IF a user intentionally downloads media that they want to consume or plan to consume at some point... or if they are just grabbing everything and then making the decision as to what they are interested in watching afterwards. If that is a common.trend. then their is definately wasted bandwidth since a download is completed before a user decides what they care to watch. If they download overnight entire channels... then only actually watch a few videos from say 10 or 15 downloaded, then this is not efficient use of an application and as a result is abusing the hosting service... costing them and possible the content creators money. this undesirable scenario would prob be more likely with the plethora of what i call 'orphaned feeds' that some directories store. these are typically feeds that services generatebased on tags, user uploads, meta-feeds etcetera. they are channels without any true parent... that is to say they are not vlog projects managed and created by people with an intention, a genre, an actual audience. produced by the content creator(s) videoblogs ;-) rboom, apperceptions, pouringdown, dltq etc. where you have a good idea of the content you are going to get and you are subscribed because you generally like it, trust it or are at least giving it a chance before you unsubscribe. with orphaned feeds, you really never know what will come down the pipe many are generated from video sharing sites where random people are uploading random videos that may be considered viral vids are just stupid shit if people download then filter/discard instead of the opposite we got a wasted bandwith problem. again, i am not faulting the software. just a thought in my head maybe its not at an epidemic level... but how would I know either way? The same holds true for some web sites that download media before a user actually makes a deliberate request. no good. i guess it comes down to trusting the content you are subscribed to... which is more difficult to do with these orphaned feeds than a true channel. i suppose their is no solution if this is even a real problem ;-) thoughts on this speculation? i should go fix my leaky faucet now.sullOn 2/16/06, Markus Sandy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i understand and agree, i was mainly just diving deeper into how the bandwidth was consumed vs cached. the main point is that they are different for these apps; but then so are their purposes and hence the difficulty in comparison as you say Joshua Kinberg wrote: I'm sorry...

It's not quite as wide a range as say youtube, but its still pretty diverse and the quality is quite high. However, if i chose to auto-download every enclosure in that feed, I would be quickly overwhelmed and waste lots of bandwidth. I've been thinking a lot about how you can bridge the auto-download vs. no-download approach, and basically I think some sort of partial, ahead of time cacheing could be interesting. I know there are some commercial streaming video applications already doing this. You figure out which content the viewer might like to watch, and then cache the first minute of it, so that playback starts immediately. Over time, perhaps, the application could build a model of what to cache, how much, etc. Just ramblings for now, but an approach that, if implemented right, could enable a great user experience that is also efficient. by people with an intention, a genre, an actual audience. produced by the content creator(s) videoblogs ;-) rboom, apperceptions, pouringdown, dltq etc. where you have a good idea of the content you are going to get and you are subscribed because you generally like it, trust it or are at least giving it a chance before you unsubscribe. So, another idea I've had, and that works in I/ON (or at least in a soon to be released version), is that you can subscribe to a bunch of feeds, but only download content that matches certain keywords or other criteria. That way you can keep an eye on blip, but only download content regarding food or brooklyn (two of my favorite topics). if people download then filter/discard instead of the opposite we got a wasted bandwith problem. again, i am not faulting the software. just a thought in my head finally, my third thought, is that using bittorrent or a similar protocol would mean that people could autodownload, and then become nodes themselves, causing the bandwidth of the original host not to be wasted at all. basically, if we can figure out how to make true p2p dead-simple for desktop aggregators, then we get the best of both worlds - quick start, no buffering playback, ability to sync to mobile players *and* reduction in bandwidth headaches for content distributors. thoughts on this speculation? i should go fix my leaky faucet now. those are my thoughts. drip drip. +nathan Yahoo!

[videoblogging] Re: Xacti HD1 NYTimes review
Bitrate/quality might be an issue (although I long for one too)... Here's an article that I wrote in January for a photo newsletter for www.pixpo.com (shameless plug) that talks gently about some of its shortcomings (further shameless plug - we'll have a very cool pc/mac video broadcasting product later in the year)... /end plug, here's the aritcle: Looking for a high performance hybrid camera? Sanyo recently announced their combination VPC-HD1 5mp still camera/high definition camcorder that records to SD cards for a startlingly low $800. This camera is sleek and compact and is the hottest ticket on many a high-tech wish-list right now. So, what's the catch? Well, it doesn't come with an SD card, but the ones that come in the box with new cameras are typically so small that they're useless anyhow. The only other catch is that it writes to MPEG4 at a 9 Megabit per second data rate - most current HD (1280 x 720) cameras write to MPEG2 at 20 Megabit per seconds or higher. So, given this bitrate issue, is the camera still the incredible value it appears to be? Well, unfortunately we can't answer that just yet as the VPC-HD1 won't be available until March. Our advice at this point is to sit on that wallet and wait to read a few user reviews before making your move. In the meantime, here's what a couple of alternatives look like: A Step Up? Sony Handycam HDR-HC1 This Sony is not quite as sleek as the Sanyo, writes to MiniDV tapes instead of SD cards and has significantly lower stills resolution with 2.8 megapixel photo capture. Nonetheless, this entry level HD cam looks great from a video perspective. This Sony almost triples the data rate of the Sanyo, writing at 25 megabits per second to MPEG2. With this in mind, the Sony is worth looking at if top quality video is your top, although the $1800 price tag pushes it a bit past the budget of many hobbyists. Low Cost Substitute? Pentax Optio MX4 If you want a hybrid camera with video features such as zoom being enabled while recording, a camera like the MX4 might be worth considering. At a street price of around $300 this camera has quite a bit of bang for the buck. That said, if you are serious about stills OR video, this may not deliver what you're looking for. While it is indeed a fun camera, the responsiveness and focusing of this camera are nowhere near what you'll find in the Sony or Sanyo. So good luck with your shopping. If you have your own opinion on the best choice for a hybrid, please e-mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] - you might just find your input included in our next newsletter. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, missbhavens1969 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm amassing a pile of things to sell on ebay to finance the purchase of one of these.

Re: [videoblogging] Does RSS suck? Do RSS readers waste bandwidth?
Coincidence. I'm a fan of blip, and some others too. And as you were composing you message, Nathan, I was checking, coincidentally, the last 40 or so uploads on blip and was bored out of my tired mind. Arggh! I'm glad I didn't download any of them. I closed each one I clicked within a few seconds, never even reaching the midpoint. This comment has nothing to do with blip and everything to do with discovering content. As I read your comments, below, it became crystalline we need better methods for discovering media we want to watch. For any who missed it, Nathan's propped filtering concept, keywords. I'm guessing it will still suck bandwidth unnecessarily. BTW Nathan and all), the following is constructive commentary, my heart is in the right place on this, trust me. I remember vloggercon 2005 (during the blizzard in NYC last year) when Fireant was revealed to the group. The idea of having everything on your hard drive was insanely brilliant then. No waiting, no extra clicking, the cost savings appeared fantastic. Then a funny thing happened, a lot of people started putting video on blogs with RSS feeds. The a funnier thing happened, it became impossible to watch all of the media downloaded. The foie gras effect (tm) on my hard drive was damaging to not only my calendar but to my storage resources. The bandwidth issue was relatively invisible, though it was undeniably real though unseen in the short term, like the the economics of owning a horse it eats while you sleep. Bittorrent-like technology can move around the bandwidth costs for producers however it does nothing re helping me not get video I don't want to see. And to address the concept introduced earlier this week, it doesn;t solve the out-of-context problem. Go look at the vlog of someone you watch more than once. I'll use Daniel Liss and Erik Nelson for this example. When you go to these blogs you experience each work as part of a body of work, you see the design of their blog, you see the comments of others, you relate. When you watch a video on Daniel's blog itself you smile easier, you relate. Okay, maybe I'm not the typical video consume but I go for experience. It's like the difference between Nobu and Go Sushi, in on instance you can linger and enjoy, in the other you chow down and that's that. Yeah, it's like fast food using an aggregator, I've learned it's not for me. But again there's a market for FF and you can't argue with the business of the FF providers and I very much support Fireant and Nathan's project. Bandwidth is not the issue re asset discovery, though it is re ecology. RSS isn't inherently 3vil (Down Weagel, down. Sit.), though it is when deployed to fatten hard drives. Keywords may be part of it, but I don't think it's sufficient, I'd expect false positives and omissions to be problematic. The collective and collaborative brainpower in this group can, I'm sure, come up with an answer as to how to get the right stuff (call it project right stuff in a new thread if you have ideas) into a feed. My $ 0.02 this fine morning.

But as a typical user i dont find myself using software to casually consume media. well, besides my web browser of course. there are times when i want to download an entire channel...for synching to my portable media player if i am going to commute... or if i plan to remix media for a project.. what i actually do in these cases is run the java applet on vlogdir which is a download manager it discovers all the enclosures and quickly copies them to my puter. this is convenient for me... can be used on any puter with nothing to install (assuming you can run java applets). it also lets me pick media a la carte style if i dont want all of the channel downloaded and can auto-resume. not perfect, but it works for a guy like me who only occasionally needs to grab a video or full channel to a specified location on my puter. otherwise i just watch using my browser. i find that when i do use a desktop media aggregator, my habits are the same as if i were on the web i pick a video here and there and download... usually need to wait a bit before it plays...same as web. since my style is inherit in me i dont reap the full benefits of a desktop aggregator which i feel is the ability to schedule downloads when I am not focused on the app but this benefit is not one i always need or desire... as robert mentioned too. and looping back to my original thought... it could be wasting bandwidth. also like robert, even though most vlogs use basic templates it is nice to experience everything in context of the creators 'home'. especially when the site itself is well-designed or has other interesting content such as a flickr photo block, a blogroll, a profile etc. i'm more satisfied with my experience when i am on the web itself. when this can easily transfer to TV... then i would be more comfortable with that platform. Its coming i feel the need to say that I think software like FA and all the rest including I/ON... are awesome... needed and useful. i am only speaking of my opinion here and my evolved approach to navigating within the vlogosphere. i get vlogs in my gmail and i browse directories and i browse the web. when needed, i use a file download applet on the web and occasionally i use all the different desktop media aggregators... mainly for staying tuned on the tech of it. i was using FA tonight and found myself playing more vids in the FA directory heheh. then i thought... wait i just downloaded this vid should I queue it and download it again just in case i want to watch it again? with this bandwidth topic on my mind... i chose not to ;-) maybe i'm just feeling the vlog clog since blip has seemed like IA lately we do need BitTorrent to become a hot topic again here... it used to be. died down though. Also... i still kinda like the dijjer.org project and similar projects.enough out of me.sullOn 2/16/06, Nathan Freitas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:I am going to jump in on this thread (a rare thing!)

It's not quite as wide a range as say youtube, but its stillpretty diverse and the quality is quite high. However, if i chose to auto-download every enclosure in that feed, I would be quicklyoverwhelmed and waste lots of bandwidth. I've been thinking a lot abouthow you can bridge the auto-download vs. no-download approach, andbasically I think some sort of partial, ahead of time cacheing could be interesting. I know there are some commercial streaming videoapplications already doing this. You figure out which content the viewermight like to watch, and then cache the first minute of it, so thatplayback starts immediately. Over time, perhaps, the application could build a model of what to cache, how much, etc. Just ramblings for now,but an approach that, if implemented right, could enable a great userexperience that is also efficient. by people with an intention, a genre, an actual audience. produced by the content creator(s) videoblogs ;-)rboom, apperceptions, pouringdown, dltq etc.

Thought some of you would get a kick out of this video that went up at dailymotion yesterday: http://www.dailymotion.com/register/e8406eced56cec7d50e6eb97e/50018 It's by musician Ralph Buckley. Michael Verdi, Ryanne Hodson, Josh Leo, Steve Garfield, Josh Kinberg and Jay Dedman make brief unsolicited cameos. Sing along to the reggae beat: _Don't forget your RSS fed ..._ Pretty fun stuff. A year from now maybe we'll be able to do a collaborative music video that consists of more than screen shots. jd lasica www.realpeoplenetwork.com Yahoo!
