RE: [videoblogging] mono sound in Blip.tv
Marco, It's for efficiency reasons. If you'd like to have stereo sound in your Flash video you can upload your own flv files to blip (click Add Alternate Format on the upload form).

The mp4-versions are untouched but the flv-files are always converted. Thanks in advance for comments! Regards, Marco Raaphorst Yahoo! Groups Links
RE: [videoblogging] Re: New blip.tv show player
Andy, I would definitely suggest having separate blip accounts for each of your vlogs. The way blip is designed, it's best to have one account per show.

It's seems like conventional wisdom has recommended against using a seperate blip account for each vlog. However, with the new show player, it makes sense to have your content in seperate accounts. Otherwise it's pretty much useless. Heres the question: Is this two weeks comment about a solution to this problem or should I begin to seperate my content into different accounts so I have the option of using the player on one of my sites? Am I right in understanding the best practice has been to have only one account and cross-post to different blogs? thanks all, Andy Dragt www.developinggr.com - a vlog about development in GR, MI www.developinggr.com/house - a vlog about my home renovation... --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Mike Hudack [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Two weeks. :) Yours, Mike -Original Message- From: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of mattfeldman78 Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 3:36 PM To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Subject: [videoblogging] Re: New blip.tv show player Hi, Has anyone found a way to control the order of the episodes within the player?

I dream of this stuff being pushed to the extreme and for it to be possible for a blog like experience to be completely available from within a flash player. Complexities quickly arise when the people providing the player are hosting your videos, but are not responsible for the rest of your blog, it leads to an understandable focus on the video hosting page rather than your blog page. This may not be considered a probem because the expectation may be that you embed their player in your site, and your site provides all the other bloggy stuff you want. But this doesnt cover scenarios where our show player may be embedded on another site or used as a widget. I see the guide button is optional, and its easy to rebrand the player so that its got your own site in the bottom right hand corner, which is a clickable link pointing to the URL of your choice. Thanks for mentioning that. I had those pointing to the blip shows, basically by default, but I've switched them now so that they point to the blogs for the shows instead of the blip pages. This helps out the permalink situation A LITTLE BIT, but it still takes the viewer to the most recent post in the blog. The only thing that seems to update with the individual video is if you click guide and then read more about this on blip.tv, which takes you to the individual video's page on blip. -- Bill C. BillCammack.com Id love to see the creative commons stuff thats been requested in the past, be rolled out into this show player in the future, whether it be through a little cc icon on the bottom bar of the player, or the inclusion of this info in the popup 'about this episode' tab. I agree about the font size, hmm this stuff starts to get a bit tricky, a big decision to break away from the player being 320x240. I see that Veoh's player is rather large now, but this makes it look quite good and leaves more room for additional info overlays to be displayed in a larger font. Some other services have really wide players with separate episode bars to one side of the video. Personally Im fascinated by the idea of a flash player for wordpress that can display the entire blog, text video etc, in the flash player. I was looking at WPF/E but I think I'll ignore that technology for now, and go buymyself a copy of flash and join the fun.

[videoblogging] Re: External Microphones?
Thanks, Rob! No, the HD2 doesn't have manual gain control, unfortunately. It also doesn't have a headphone jack I quickly discovered, so it's hard to monitor what anything is sounding like in the field (wind noise, etc). I'm plugging in various mics that I had laying around and comparing them to one another vs. the on-board stereo mic. The on-board mic is very sensitive, but as you might imagine, too broad. I like the external's sound better, but I wish you could monitor in real time. Anyone else have any feedback for this particular camera? Also, maybe we should start a Gear List on the wiki to compare and contrast what hardware everyone is using, no? If the Sanyo Xacti HD2 has manual gain, that is quite a find these days. I'm not sure what type of recordings you have in mind, but the Rode VideoMic seem to be a good investment mic for a boom mic. The shock it comes with can be mounted on a pole too. A pair of small lavaliere electret mics is very flexible for recording locations in stereo and interviewing. You can make these for less than $20 or buy them for around $70. Audio gear gets so neglected in the tech gear blogs! Help! The naturerecordist list is a good resource to search about field audio recording: http://bioacoustics.cse.unsw.edu.au/archives/html/naturerecordists/ Rob D.

The manufs have been crippling-out manual gain and mic jacks over the last few years,. and now headphone jacks! Its so silly and frustrating. A good mic and manual gain makes a _huge_ difference in recording,.. If I really wanted good sound with your set-up, I'd consider recording double system on a Hi-MD recorder. its quite easy to align the tracks with the audio wave forms in post and perfect sync with a digital disc recorder is no problem. I posted some info about this alternative a few months ago. Many folks lust after CF recorders, but Hi-MD is the best quality recorder one can get for less than $600 (or more pending tests on some newer models by Fostex) One can use Hi-MD with high quality, low noise noise mics too if you want to upgrade: http://www.uwm.edu/~type/audio-reports/HiMD/index.htm Good luck with your audio quests, Rob D. but I wish you could monitor in real time.
