I guess the change will cause content providers to be deluged with complaints if they don't adjust their code... but I think a fair number of folks will continue to see the growing annoyances related to MSIE and find yet another excuse to migrate to another browser.

The thing is that this group was set up to help people. I've always had the attitude that no matter how often a particular issue comes up on the list I always will answer it if I have the answer. Sometimes the solutions to the issue changes, and sometimes the person asking is new and hasn't searched the archives (and if you've ever had the experience of trying to search the group archives you know it's not a good way of finding an answer--especially if you don't know exactly what terms you might be looking for). So in the spirit of making the group a welcoming resource for new videobloggers I would tend not to dismiss people for asking a question or bringing up an issue that's been addressed before.

[videoblogging] Re: HDV Cam vs. 3CCD Cam?
The GL2 is an alright camera, but I think it's getting a bit dated and there are better values to be had--even with 3ccd cameras. I really like the Panasonic line of 3chip consumer cameras. They're small and shoot great video. I've shot with the PV-GS 400 and the image it produces is virtually indistinguishable from the GL2 and is about $1500.00 cheaper. It's also much smaller which is a big plus to a vlogger. The XL2 is a nice camera but WAY too big to be practical for most kinds of video blogging IMO. And I would spend the money on a Panasonic DVX100 before I would get a XL2.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: why you now have an error on all your pages
I'd like to second Bill's thoughts about helping people. That's the point of this group. That being said I don't feel like this issue is solved for people until we can really test these solutions out. I just downloaded all the updates for Windows and IE that I could find and I don't get the active x warning box on anything. I'd love to get it so that I can verify what solutions work. Personally, I don't understand enough to read the documentation and be able to tell if something will work. My experience tells me that sometimes when we think something should work it's not always the case. -Verdi-- Me: http://michaelverdi.comRD: http://evilvlog.comLearn to videoblog: http://freevlog.org Learn to videoblog in person: http://node101.org SPONSORED LINKS Fireant Individual Use YAHOO!

Yes, it doesn't matter what plug-in you're using, it is *any* use of EMBED, OBJECT or APPLET tags within the actual HTML. To be clear: it only affects Internet Explorer 6 users on Windows.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: why you now have an error on all your pages
I'll see your sarcasm and raise you a "tough shit".It's assumed that if one joins this list, then one reads the postshere. If you arent reading the posts, then why join the group? OK...I'll address this issue. I was told that this is a group for all levels of videobloggers, from rank beginners to experts, that people would answer questions and never put anybody down for asking a stupid question. I have found this generally to be true. I would not know 1/10th of what I know now without FreeVlog, for example. HOWEVER, someone coming into this group as a rank beginner would very quickly be totally overwhelmed with all the technospeak from the experts, to say nothing of the volume of e-mail. I don't have a clue about the technical aspects of videoblogging and posting. I think that, as a senior citizen, I'm doing well to (a) make a video, (b) compress it, (c) post it, and (d) imbed it into my journal page and cross post to Blogger. At the moment, my miniDV is broken and I have no money to buy a new camera--and no hope of having enough money for a new purchase in the foreseeable future, so I'm filming with my Panasonic Digital camera, converting .mov files to .avi if I want to edit a movie, and then converting back to .mov (I was rather proud of myself for figuring out how to do that). But quite frankly I am totally lost in most of the discussions here. Still, I do pick up gems of information from time to time and so I stay on the list, but I either skip over 90% of the discussions or set my filter to send them to an "ignore" file because I don't understand what people are talking about (Veoh transcoding feeds, for example) and, what with bottle feeding puppies and doing medical transcription, don't have the time to figure it out--especially when I don't have the money to get the equipment that will allow me to do it anyway. So that's why I stick with the group, but don't read most of the posts anyway. -- BevBlog: http://funnytheblog.blogspot.com/Journal: http://funnytheworld.com SPONSORED LINKS Fireant Individual Use YAHOO!

Bev, I think most peeps can't keep up with the volume on this list, I know I many days just don't read anything on here. And re the tech stuff, I'd bet most on here, as I am too, are wondering what the extent of this particular Microsoft issue. Lists such as these are about respect. If someone disses the list or individuals on the list it simply wrong. My statement is not aimed at anyone in particular, dissing simply happens on occasion for whatever reason and it should be corrected.

I have found this generally to be true. I would not know 1/10th of what I know now without FreeVlog, for example. HOWEVER, someone coming into this group as a rank beginner would very quickly be totally overwhelmed with all the technospeak from the experts, to say nothing of the volume of e-mail. I don't have a clue about the technical aspects of videoblogging and posting. I think that, as a senior citizen, I'm doing well to (a) make a video, (b) compress it, (c) post it, and (d) imbed it into my journal page and cross post to Blogger. At the moment, my miniDV is broken and I have no money to buy a new camera--and no hope of having enough money for a new purchase in the foreseeable future, so I'm filming with my Panasonic Digital camera, converting .mov files to .avi if I want to edit a movie, and then converting back to .mov (I was rather proud of myself for figuring out how to do that). But quite frankly I am totally lost in most of the discussions here. Still, I do pick up gems of information from time to time and so I stay on the list, but I either skip over 90% of the discussions or set my filter to send them to an ignore file because I don't understand what people are talking about (Veoh transcoding feeds, for example) and, what with bottle feeding puppies and doing medical transcription, don't have the time to figure it out--especially when I don't have the money to get the equipment that will allow me to do it anyway. So that's why I stick with the group, but don't read most of the posts anyway. -- Bev Blog: http://funnytheblog.blogspot.com/ Journal: http://funnytheworld.com SPONSORED LINKS Fireant Individual Use YAHOO!

An easy way to be clear is to say what you mean and mean what you say. By stating I'm pretty sure you are not clear could indicate that I am not clear on what is being said.

I'd check now, but I can't get the archived pages to load at all.d) I started trying to embed flash video.

By the way, you might want to rethink not updating your code. IE 7 will only be released in beta form this summer.

Re: [videoblogging] the activex/eolas patent bug in Explorer
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 All righty then... a quick recap and a couple of my own questions. This affects MS Internet Explorer users only, Windows only, and apparently both IE6 (April 11 update) and IE7 beta (according to Microsoft) -- though not everyone using IE7 has seen it, and perhaps the jury's still out on IE7 final. Both Apple and Microsoft have posted information pages and sample code (including external Javascript files): http://developer.apple.com/internet/ieembedprep.html http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/ov erview/activating_activex.asp Stressed is the fact that switching to JavaScript is only part of the solution -- the Javascript can't be part of the same page that calls it. Therefore, it seems that Josh's Embedthevideo.com (and thus Devlon's plugin) and the pop-up solution offered by FreeVlog don't solve the problem, per Michael Verdi's testing. But, Enric's vPIP WordPress plugin does seem to do the trick: http://wp-plugins.net/plugin/vPIP/ Okay. Now two questions, one philosophical and one a little more complicated. First, I'm guessing that some folks are seeing pop-up windows for the video as part of the solution (although again the JavaScript can't be in the HTML that draws the pop-up). But with all the mentions of folks who might browse with Javascript disabled... aren't we much more likely to come across people who have pop-ups disabled? Heck, people get pop-ups disabled without even asking these days. I can see why embedding video might not be someone's solution of choice (especially given this latest development), but maybe the popularity of pop-up windows is a bit iffy, too. Why not just point to another regular permalink-able web page? Now for my geeky question: I'm using MovableType, and not WordPress, for my vlog. Fortunately, I think, I built the embed code into my templates, and used the MTEntryExtended and MTEntryExcerpt to only hold URLs to the movie file, and the poster frame. I can see how it would be relatively straightforward to (1.) upload the external JavaScript file, and (2.) adjust the template code as shown on the Apple or Microsoft pages, dropping the URL for the movie file (MTEntryExtended) where specified (sample.mov). But... does anyone know if any of these Javascript-powered solution handles separately made/uploaded poster frames? If not, could they? And finally, if poster frame files are out, exactly what will these Javascript solutions show in the space before someone clicks to load an embedded video? - -- Ryan HawaiiVog.com -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP Desktop 9.0.6 (Build 6060) Comment: http://www.lightfantastic.org/pgp.txt iQA/AwUBREJ9W8/o8udD/KcXEQL3VACfRGFaYaoR9j/lOvrlq0L8pMcTH4kAn0Jc hD/RUyxyrj7KPtAj2/EDTaGb =u+ak -END PGP SIGNATURE- Yahoo!

Re: [videoblogging] the activex/eolas patent bug in Explorer
well pop-ups that pop-up because the user clicked a link wont be blocked, so we're ok there. I'd imagine the _javascript_ thing can use custom poster frames no problem. I'm not using Enric's but rather one I wrote, and it works fine with whatever poster frame I want to use. I've also played around with Andreas' script and it can use whatever poster frame you want too. If I'm understanding it correctly, any poster frame you want can with a click call a _javascript_ function (From a seperate file) to then draw out the embed information. Thats how mine works anyway, and so far I've not been able to produce the problem on my site. - Dave http://www.davidmeade.comOn 4/16/06, Ryan Ozawa [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-Hash: SHA1All righty then... a quick recap and a couple of my own questions.

[videoblogging] Re: To use Archive.org or not?
No problem. Here is the deal IMHO: Certainly you can directly upload via Archive.org but for newbies and time challenge folk it can be a pain. If you have experience it can really be a pain. However, after you establish an Archive account an option could be to use the CC Publisher http://creativecommons.org/tools/ccpublisher This will help automate the process of uploading your file directly into the Archive. But depending on what is happening at the Archive it might take awhile to see the upload. Most folks who don't have a commercial host make use of OurMedia, Blip.tv or other free hosting services. Both had advantages and disadvantaged. The advantages of storing it on you own server - total control and access, no delay in uploading. The bad side - if the server is toast or crashers so goes your stuff. This is true with any of the above services but just hurts more when it is all on you. Also, if you host charges for increased bandwidth usage you might face the joys of success with the agony of a huge bill. Similar with using the other services. The advantage is that no matter how many folks view the video you don't incur usage charges. But it is harder to have videos removed, and you are depended on a third party to display your videos. Things happen and you might not have access when you really need to upload. My two cents, Gena http://outonthestoop.blogspot.com http://voxmedia.org/wiki/Video Yahoo!

Andrew, I'm gonna level with you: You're hosed. Microsoft has hosed you. Me, too. I didn't want a click to download interface on my videos. I wanted a you go to my site and click play to play interface. Microsoft has completely killed that as an option. Completely. In one update, they have downgraded the Internet. They suck. They're a sucky bunch of sucks and I don't mind saying so. Your other option is to use a browser-detect JavaScript to see if a web browser is IE or anything else, and use an embed for everything except IE. My suggestion, if you go that route, is to include a link to upgrade people's web browsers to Firefox in the IE version of your site. I thought about doing this, and probably will, but am too frustrated today and took the easy way out. --Stephanie On 4/16/06, andrew michael baron [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This method that Enric has created will not work for me because it requires the user to click on a posterframe in order to start the video.

You can host on Archive.org but it's probably best to use OurMedia which is a service that was set up by Archive.org especially for personal media producers. The one issue you might have is slow or spotty service. Things tend to take longer to download from Archive.org than from a paid host. If you're using Dreamhost you should be fine with them. They provide lots of bandwidth and seem to be pretty fast. They're my host of choice. Of course if you want to also upload to Archive.org you can do that too, just to save your work for posterity.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: why you now have an error on all your pages
I just did the fix. Heres what I did (the following information is
simply reiterated from:
http://developer.apple.com/internet/ieembedprep.html )
#1
First I downloaded this .js java file from Apple:
http://developer.apple.com/internet/licensejs.html
Inside that zip package is a file called:
AC_QuickTime.js
I renamed this file to a filename that I like:
rb_java.js
#2
Then, I uploaded this file to my server. I decided to create a new
folder called 'js' and put the file in there. Thus, the url to access
the file is now:
http://www.rocketboom.com/js/rb_java.js
#3
Then I went into my template and inserted the following code into the
header:
script src=http://www.rocketboom.com/js/rb_java.js;
language=JavaScript type=text/javascript/script
Obviously, you would replace the src value above with your own URL to
the newly uploaded file found in step #2 above.
Remember, the above code must be pasted anywhere after the head and
before the /head
#4
Finally, I went to the part in my HTML where I have the object with
the embed. I cut out the object, everything from object to /object.
I replaced it with the following java script code:
script language=JavaScript type=text/javascript
QT_WriteOBJECT_XHTML('http://www.rocketboom.net/video/
rb_06_apr_14.mov', '320', '256', '',
'autoplay', 'true',
'emb#bgcolor', 'black',
'align', 'middle');
/script
I actually used widescreen dimensions, 480x286.

[videoblogging] Re: the activex/eolas patent bug in Explorer
Actually the way Vpip works is that it doesn't actually embed the movie untill the thumbnail is clicked. Then it dynamically embeds the movie in the jpgs place (works with WMV SWF MP4 and QT) and if another movie is activated the script unembeds any other movies on the page. So it would be imposible to have more than one embeded movie on the page at a time. It's actually a really nice solution.

[videoblogging] Embed vs. Pop-Up
Forgive my ignorance, as I'm sure many of you understand this better than I. Verdi mentioned today his dislike of embedded quicktime movies, and the issue of scrolling. Is the issue simply that viewing videos via a pop-up is optimal to the embedded approach, so that you can move the pop-up window around on the desktop to where you like? I hope this doesn't sound like too stupid of a question, but I want to make sure that I'm not missing something here. I have switched over from Josh's pop-up solution (embedthevideo.com), to Enric's vPIP. I can scroll OK, in Firefox and IE, while a vid is playing - although that isn't something I personally do that much. I would like to do what works best for my viewers (all 10 of them ), and would like to hear more opinions on what the group thinks is the optimal approach. Also, I would like to thank this discussion group for the fantastic support and guidance provided. I really enjoy monitoring the discussions, and appreciate the community spirit.

That's the one I fixed-- the most recent 2 videos (since in an unusual case, I post twice in one day). I fixed it with Enric's vPiP, so it should work, and it did when I tested it.

Ditto on the popups. As for this scrolling issue, I dont see it on my site unless I scroll when there is a video playing. Then there is a tiny stutter in the scroll. Regardless, I would hope that people watching a video on my site are watching the video and not scrolling away.
