Re: [videoblogging] I Want That Last Wimax Mile
Oh, yes, you're quite right, Chris. I too feel the bit of pride you mention, especially on a film or TV set where we're spending out the wazoo. Then again, those production values command significantly larger advertising / subscription (HBO) dollars. I've got my cell phone set up to the Internet as modem via Bluetooth. Works significantly better than dialup. There's a data cable that would probably be faster, but I like the idea of wirelessly being connected. Keeps me more mobile feeling. Was using Google Maps and iChatting plans to meet from Markus' car while driving lost at Vloggercon. That was cool. Cingular is my provider. The service upgrade's $30 additional / mo. on top of whatever other plan I've got. The configuration to the mac cost me 3 hours on the phone with a tech who didn't know how to do it, so we went round and round over the course of a week, but he was available to me via email and business-hours phone call. They took care of me and I didn't resent the time it took since it's obviously something not a lot of folks yet do. Turns out I had to download a bit of software to make it work, but there it is.

[videoblogging] Sundance?
Any Vloggers heading to Sundance this weekend?
[videoblogging] A week of invite and invite only.
Got a tip about this company http://8apps.com did not get a invite though. More for business with the social network and not a video site. It does look like a great set of tools. Curious about, seeking others opinion on Liveleak.com . Blair mentions it here http://www.number-10.gov.uk/output/Page10735.asp Ran across it some time back, bit too grim so I left only to return again for a couple of in the news videos. Seems it may have a place in the whole of cyber space. If anyone ends up with a extra invite to Joost, I'd like to beta test it. Thanks in advance.
[videoblogging] mefeedia news
Hi all, We've decided to turn over the reins of mefeedia.com to Frank Sinton. Frank is planning to keep it running as the best place to find videoblogs, focused on independent videoblogs, and he's putting more resources into it. And of course he'll respect all user agreements (ie. he won't spam your emails and such, he'll respect CC licenses, ...). I've talked to him and I believe he's got all the right motives. He's on this list, you can ask him your questions :) I made the decision because I just didn't have the time and money (those servers cost $) to keep mefeedia going. It had grown way beyond my expectations, it's been getting lots of pageviews and attention and I just can't support that anymore. Frank is looking to invest more time and $ in mefeedia so rather than let it die a slow death due to lack of attention, so we thought that was a good thing. Meanwhile, I have to thank Devlon Duthie and Mike Meiser for all their incredible work to make mefeedia what it is today, and for all the support we've gotten from y'all in the past 2 years! Let me know if you have any questions! Here's a word from Frank: Hello to everyone in the vlogosphere. First of all, thank you Peter and Devlon (and the many others involved) for creating such a great tool for videobloggers. Your hard work and support for Mefeedia shows. As far as plans for Mefeedia, i was actually looking for your input on seeing what you would like to see!

Frank is planning to keep it running as the best place to find videoblogs, focused on independent videoblogs, and he's putting more resources into it.

He's on this list, you can ask him your questions :) I made the decision because I just didn't have the time and money (those servers cost $) to keep mefeedia going. It had grown way beyond my expectations, it's been getting lots of pageviews and attention and I just can't support that anymore. Frank is looking to invest more time and $ in mefeedia so rather than let it die a slow death due to lack of attention, so we thought that was a good thing. Meanwhile, I have to thank Devlon Duthie and Mike Meiser for all their incredible work to make mefeedia what it is today, and for all the support we've gotten from y'all in the past 2 years! Let me know if you have any questions! Here's a word from Frank: Hello to everyone in the vlogosphere. First of all, thank you Peter and Devlon (and the many others involved) for creating such a great tool for videobloggers. Your hard work and support for Mefeedia shows.

[videoblogging] Re: Terms of Service post
Cool I'll try to help that, but in the meantime I'll waffle about it here in an attempt to clarify what I think might be true on these issues. A service being allowed to sell your content is obviously a big thing, and probably merits its own distinct question. When it comes to licensing, it depends what sort of terms we mean and other people think of. But at the same time I dont want to overcomplicate it. Well take blip, lets see if Ive remembered their position and TC correctly. They allow their partners to use your videos, but only non-comercially. Its easier to imagine why they want this right, than o try to work out what non-commercial actually means, This is an ambiguity in creative commons licenses too, with no end in sight other than some sor tof mutually agreed possible moral framework for whats deemed ok or not ok. To use a load of inapropriate metaphores, we could think of peoples videos as being the blood, and blip as the body. Both need eachother, all is well, based on the concept that blip is decent. They wont prostitute your work for profit, but they and their partners may flash it in the window from time to time to attract attention to both the body and the blood. Well I dont know if thats quite right, just typing as I think as usual, and no Im not suggesting such wording for the guide :p Now Im thinking about the word sell, and the concept of selling your work. I guess even that can mean many different things. Selling access to watch it, selling it on DVD, selling rights to it, selling rights to slow it on TV, selling rights to advertise on it, seslling exclusivity. OK ok Im needlessly overcomplicating a nice straightforward idea, waffle ends now lol.

I was exposed to entrepreneurship at an early age (my dad was a co-Founder of Think Technologies, maker of Lightspeed C and other products - if you remember from back in the 80s/early 90s). That motivated me to go into software and to be an entrepreneur. Some of the startups that I have been involved in are Fogdog.com, icast.com (defunct), Business.com, Jamdat Mobile, Clickstar, and Rapport Incorporated. In between work and the kids, I try to squeeze in some time for my wife, Lisa :-) and occasionally go skiing or surfing or hiking. Oh yeah, i have started using Mefeedia - A LOT. Lots of great videoblogs, too little time :) Hope that helps! -Frank --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Jay dedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, We've decided to turn over the reins of mefeedia.com to Frank Sinton. hey Frank-- can you introduce yourself? you got a blog? jay -- Here I am http://jaydedman.com
Re: [videoblogging] Re: Terms of Service post
Agreed. Now we have a wiki to expand. The point is to highlights TOS through the lens of what a creator needs to know. Usually a TOS is written for what a lawyer needs to know. And very often TOS totally ignores what is important for creator's. The TOS wiki is the first step in Educating ourselves and video hosting sites as to the desires of videobloggers.

Re: [videoblogging] The audience of ten
In a message dated 12/01/2007 02:01:08 GMT Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hey all, Since I started videoblogging, I have had this mantra about focusing on the audience of ten. To treat the audience of my videoblog as a circle of friends. Friends I would want to show what's going on in my life at the point. I have had this mantra because I, for instance, did not want to get lost in some numbers-increasing schemes. My question to you is: What amount of subscribers do you feel comfortable with? Of course, if you make a Show (insert sarcastic tone here), you only want more and more subscribers. But if you make a so-called personal videoblog, suddenly having 3000 subscribers might be a very scary thing. I only partially agree here. You may want more and more subscribers, but I go back to an old radio trick. I imagine that the camera in front of me is someone I know very well, and I talk to them, one to one, and that is my one of my two matras for my videos. 1. One to one, always 2.

Re: [videoblogging] Introducing: tokyo_calling_vlog
Thanks to all who have taken the time to respond on this thread or to leave a comment on the Tokyo Calling blog. This first week of vlogging has been an amazing experience. I feel hooked! Harold, yes this is the same Tokyo Calling podcast that you would have been listening to two years ago. I remember discovering Something Happened on another blog that reviewed both of our early podcasts favorably. Just a bit of follow-up on the first week. Thanks to recommendations from group members and Ryanne's H.264 for iPod screencast on FreeVlog.org, I've finally been able to get a video that looks better on something bigger than an iPod. I followed Ryanne's steps on Episode 4http://blip.tv/file/get/Tokyocalling-tc_vlog_004516.mp4and am generally pleased with the results. I wonder if the 80-90 minutes it took to compress the video on an MacBook Pro (2GHz with 2GB or RAM) is normal for an 11 minute piece. The original dimensions were 640x480 as shot on the Sanyo HD1A and were shrunk down to 320x240. Would I save time in compressing the final video in iMovie if I shoot in 320x240 instead of 640x480?

[videoblogging] Re: Introducing: tokyo_calling_vlog
H264 takes a VERY long time to compress in exchange for VERY good-looking video, even when greatly magnified. Shoot as large a frame as you like. There are people shooting in HD and compressing to 320x240 or 320x180 (widescreen). Most likely, you have it set on 2-pass, meaning it takes extra time checking out the file in order to make the best compression. Leave your settings the same, but make it 1-pass H264 if you can. Compress the same 11-minute file and see if there are time savings. If so, then check to see if you're satisfied with how the video looks. If you like it, keep compressing 1-pass instead of 2-pass. Another option is to lower your frame rate. If you're shooting 29.97 video, try bringing the frame rate down to 24 or to 15. If you think the video stutters too much, increase the rate. A third option is to not use H264 at all. Use mp4 at much higher data rates. That will be much faster, but the file will end up being a lot larger and tougher for lesser computers to process. -- Bill C. http://ReelSolid.TV --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Scott Lockman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks to all who have taken the time to respond on this thread or to leave a comment on the Tokyo Calling blog.

[videoblogging] send me links to your cool videos
We're doing something different with Ourmedia: We'll be using our front page to point people to the coolest grassroots video regardless of where it resides. The videos don't have to be on our site, they don't have to live on the Archive's servers. We'd like to showcase a new lead video just about every day. All I need is a url of the page with the accompanying metadata, and a url of where the video lives. (Some with Flash, this is often impossible, alas.) We'll input the title of the work and your name and link directly to your blog/site and to the file's hosting site. It would help if you sent along a screenshot (320x256 or so), but that's not required. I'll drop you an email when your video gets featured. Doesn't have to be new, just well done and engaging. QuickTime or MPEG4 would be best, but WMV, Flash or Real work too. Oversize vids (widescreen), etc., won't work with our current setup. Questions? Lemme know. thanks! jd JD Lasica Ourmedia.org jdlasica at gmail (dot) com
