someone else who has a booking account wants to continue, feel free.

 Hey, we're 3 years old!
  http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/videoblogging/message/1
  http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/videoblogging/message/2

happy birthday to everyone. (Its my real 34th birthday today as well)
its pretty amazing what this group has done.
Mainly helping each other learn how to best post video to the web.
In just the past 3 years, we've collectively made an amazing amount of
varied work that is now archived online. We've had influence in
building and pushing the technology being used.

When we started, it was always difficult to explain to people what we did.
Now its all mainstream.  Youtube really helped gain awareness.
A videoblogger can get a lot of attention noweven paid(!)but
it also equally important those of us who are just recording our
world/ideas over time.
In 20 years, we'll all have movies of our lives that the world has
never seen before.
our grandkids are going to flip.

we spent much of the early years futzing with HOW to videoblog.
Now we can focus on WHAT we're actually making, distributing, and archiving.
This is how we'll help to continue to push it forward.
for me it's all about content now.

  Now is a good time to write something you remember down on the Vlogumentary 
 wiki
  http://vlogumentary.pbwiki.com/

yeah...do a brain dump whenever you might have joined.
many of us had that ah-ha moment.
be good to record that change.

[videoblogging] Introduction and First questions

2007-06-04 Thread JM Campbell
Hello,

I just joined this group, so be gentle with the broom handles.

Anyways, my name is John Campbell. I do a podcast called Comics Radar,
fairly obviously (I think) about Comic Books, and because comic books
are such a visual medium, I've been interested in doing a video
version of the podcast. Also I just love playing with tech toys, so
that's why I'm here.

And really, the biggest stumbling for me has been the software. the
only camera I have right now is a Sony DSC-M2, which films in MPEG 4
format, so can anyone recommend what software I could use to edit and
encode it.

The other thing I really want to do is be able to do a voiceover while
watching the video. I want to be able to show the comics pages and pan
over them. while talking out the review of the book. The other thing I
would like to do would be to put in the image, while I'm on camera
like the news does.

I was wondering if anyone had recommendations and/or reviews of what
software would allow me to do all of these things. I think the
Pinnacle 11 plus allows me to do all of this, but if any of you have
experience or a better recommendation, what do you recommend I use?

[videoblogging] Apple TV youtube support means h264 from youtube

2007-06-04 Thread Steve Watkins
Its pretty much confirmed with Apple's recent announcement about
Youtbe Apple TV support, that this means youtube will be offering
videos in the h264 format. Initially it will be popular videos, and
new uploads, that are available in h264, starting sometime this month,
and then by the autumn they plan to have converted the entire youtube
catalog, I think.

Im sure its no co-incidence that the timing also fits in with the US
iphone launch at the end of the month. So Apples initial suggestion
that iphone youtube support could be done by youtube offering h264,
rather than the iphone supporting flash, seems to have come true.

It remains to be seem whether youtube will offer the h264 versions of
videos through its normal service, allow people to download them
easily, syndicate them, or whether they will try to keep it an Apple
excusive feature for now. Also isnt clear whether youtube will leave
peoples videos unchanged if they upload them in h264, or whether the
youtube system will always recompress.

Here's a story about this stuff from newteevee:

http://newteevee.com/2007/06/03/youtube-goes-h264-thanks-to-apple/

Anyway as a h264 preacher Im very happy with all the progress made on
adoption of this stuff over the last 2 years, come a long way, Im
still shocked and happy that even Microsoft support it now on the
xbox360. The only missing peices of the jigsaw that remain are wider
choice of encoders for windows, and alternative h264-capable browser
player plugin for those that dont like quicktime.

Cheers

Steve Elbows

[videoblogging] Re: Anyone try the Elgato Turbo 264?

2007-06-04 Thread Steve Watkins
Thanks :) No joy on getting any samples from them so far I guess, oh
well I will do their sales job for them by reporting my initial findings:

Test machine 1: 
iMac G5 2Ghz, Tiger, 2GB RAM

Source file: DV PAL clip, 720x576, 25fps. 23 seconds long, interlaced.
File loaded into quicktime 7.1.6

Exported to the following formats. First time is without elgato
hardware, 2nd time is with the Turbo 264:

Apple TV preset: 5 mins 54sec   0 mins 43sec
Ipod 640x480 preset: 2 mins 20 sec0 mins 30 sec
Ipod 320x240*: 1 mins 9 sec   0 mins 23 sec

* Apple dont offer a default 320sx240 ipod preset anymore, wheras
elgato turbo 264 offers it as an option for the ipod preset. So for
the non-hardware encoding time, I used manual settings, h264 baseline
single pass. The time for non-hardware assisted multipass 320x240 on
this imac was 2 mins 27 seconds.


That concludes test part one, as you can see it made a phenomenal
difference to encoding times. Expect time difference to be much less
on macbook that will be used in test 2.

Other great news: Turbo 264 appears to deinterlace the footage! Woo
this is great, because the apple quicktime exports that use 640x480 or
higher are not deinterlacing at all, which is causing very bad quality
for people using interlaced footage as source material, and not
deinterlacing using some other method. The turbo 264 deinterlacing
isnt the best Ive ever seen, seems to use a frame combining method
that can cause blurring, but its still a heck of a lot better than the
awful stuff that quicktime will spit out for apple TV if people arent
careful with this issue. I'll post samples ASAP so ou can see what I
mean for yourselves.

Other factors that I havent had time to study properly yet include
quality and filesize. So far the Turbo 264 seems to be producing files
that are a bit smaller than the normal quicktime (eg 8.8MB instead of
95.MB, 3.4MB instead of 4.7MB), although this could be due to
quicktime lack of deinterlacing making the encoding less
bitrate-efficient, wasting bits recording all those horrible interlace
jaggies.

As you can probably tell Im rather happy and impressed so far, the
only thing that could now cause me not to recommend this device is if
the quality of footage is noticably worse under careful examination,
not sure yet. 

Cheers

Steve Elbows

PS. The Elgato quicktime presets also use the sensible file extension
.mp4 rather than Apples silly .m4v, added bonus :)

From what I recall ... it's not vegas' fault but Quicktime's.  There
is something about the Windows Quicktime API that is not exposed to
windows applications (not even if you have QT Pro installed).  I'm
pretty sure its the AAC audio codec.

Basically windows applications cant request the AAC codec be used via
the QT API.

You can use all sorts of other QT stuff ... but cant do ipod formatted
video without QT Pro ... because on a windows box only QT pro is going
to be able to access the parts of QT for Windows that allows for AAC
audio compression.

... poorly described ... but the bottom line is that in windows you
need QT Pro, and you have to actually use it (not some other app) to
do the final compression.

The full blown Premiere is more expensive (and has more features).

Yeah, I wanted to think a bit before I answered, that and my 
son's nearly losing his finger (s) adventure, got me sidetracked.

I use the light version of Sony Vegas, but it does not handle mp4, 
unless it is an mp4 .mov extenstion.  Otherwise if it is a straight 
mp4 you would have to buy the full version of Vegas which is about 
400 bucks.  I had issues with Adobe's version but I hear it's better 
now, and it can handle mp4.  If you have Vista on your PC I think the 
new version of Windows movie maker can handle mp4 and that is free 
so...

Ulead is Ok, but you really don't have a lot of user control, it's 
really spoon fed to you, which if you are starting out may be good, 
but you could outgrow it pretty quickly, it depends.  

A lot of programs now will let you try them for 30 days I would just 
start downloading those trial versions, mess around with them, see 
what you like and go from there.

[videoblogging] Re: Anyone try the Elgato Turbo 264?

2007-06-04 Thread Steve Watkins
Test Machine 2:

MacBook Intel Core Duo (not later core 2 duo) 1.83Ghz, Tiger, 2GB RAM

Source file: DV PAL clip, 720x576, 25fps. 23 seconds long, interlaced.
File loaded into quicktime 7.1.6

Exported to the following formats. First time is without elgato
hardware, 2nd time is with the Turbo 264:

Apple TV preset: 2 mins 08 sec, 0 mins 43sec
Ipod 640x480 preset: 1 mins 02 sec, 0 mins 31 sec
Ipod 320x240*: 0 mins 40 sec, 0 mins 17 sec

* Apple dont offer a default 320sx240 ipod preset anymore, wheras
elgato turbo 264 offers it as an option for the ipod preset. So for
the non-hardware encoding time, I used manual settings, h264 baseline
single pass. The time for non-hardware assisted multipass 320x240 on
this macbook was 1 min 15 seconds.


As expected, the difference the Turbo 264 makes on this machine is
less, as the machine has a much better CPU than the G5 iMac, so the
non-hardware assisted encodes are much quicker. Wheras the turbo 264
encodes are roughly the same speed as when done on the G5, sometimes a
bit faster, sometimes a bit slower (perhaps due to slower hard drive
in this laptop than the iMac?).

Filesizes and deinterlacing are, as expected, the same as with the
iMac tests. 

Have done some brief tests on what difference this stuff can make to
people's energy use. Two factors make this an electricity-saving
device. Firstly encodes are much quicker, so you can maybe have your
machine switched on for less time. Secondly the CPU in your mac does
much less when letting the turbo 264 do the encoding.

For example this macbook, with battery already charged, and screen
brightness turned off (I use an external monitor), uses around 20
watts when the CPU isnt doing much. When using the turbo 264 this
rises to around the 27-30 watt level. When encoding using quicktime 
no turbo 264, th CPU is under heavy load and around 43 watts are being
consumed, plus it quickly starts to sound like a small hairdryer. I
shall get round to 'writing this up' in video form and sticking it on
carbondown at some point this month.

Other things to think about when considering whether to get a Turbo
264 and reviewing my results:

My tests were done with quicktime, its likely if you use a different
software encoder at the moment, it may already be quicker than the
non-turbo264 times Ive posted.

If you like precise bitrate control ( thus control over filesizes),
so far the Turbo 264 gives you no control of these things, so its just
as bad as Apples presets in that respect.

Although I havent done quality tests yet, some multipass software
encoders could be expected to give better results. Probably more true
at higher resolutions, will test. 

Likewise if you already make 640x480 videos and use a very good
deinterlacer, you may be best to keep using your current deinterlacer
before encoding with the turbo. But if you struggle with this
deinterlacing stuff, the turbo264 provides an extremely easy way to
fix this stuff in an ok way without even thinking about it.

[videoblogging] Re: quick question

2007-06-04 Thread Steve Watkins
This situation means that even if buying quicktime pro, the process
will be more of a pain than your current export from video editing app.

Because now you will have to save your video timeline to an
intermediate format, which will then be loaded into quicktime pro (or
alternative) to be encoded.

To get decent quality, your intermediate format needs to be high
quality and bitrate, perhaps native DV format if thats what your
source camera is, and so long as your video editing app doesnt take
too long to export it.

Its a time/filespace/quality balance as to what you use, something
people dont need to worry about if the right export options are
available straight from their video editing app.

Also bear in mind quicktime is not the only h264 encoder available for
Windows or mac, here is my assessment of pro's and cons of Quicktime
versus other options:

pro's:
Its farily cheap
Lots of people know how to use it  advise if you have problems
As Apple make quicktime and the ipod  apple tv, we should be
confident that its output will be compatible
Its pretty easy to use

con's:
Its not free (some alternatives are free but can be harder to use)
Its not the fastest
If you want to make 640x480 files and your video to be encoded is
interlaced, quicktime doesnt do deinterlacing and so makes a pigs ear
of the results
Lack of manual control over bitrate ( thus filesize) if using apple
ipod  tv presets

I still havent found the perfect alternative h264 encoder that is free
or dirt cheap for Windows, is easy to use, and accepts most formats of
video, and handles de-interlacing, although Im sure such an app exists
or could be made out of existing free  hard to use stuff.

The only alternative commercial Windows h264 encoder I hav experience
with is Nero Recode 2. It may represent good value if all the other
apps it comes packaged with (cd writing etc), are of use. It is faster
than qucktime encoding for sure. I am not sure how up-to-date its
device profiles (ipod etc) are, but it does offer a lot of encoding
options, which is a good and bad thing. I cant remember wheher its
intelligent when it comes to deinterlacing or not, I will use it again
soon to refresh my knowledge.

Then I load up the AVI in QT Pro and compress it down to a 3vix encoded MOV.

If on Vista - and you go with Vegas (full or other I imagine) make
sure to update. Latest update fixes some compatibility issues when
launching (still worked, just complained).

I'll second the staying away from Pinnacle, and I've only used the
older versions of Ulead which I really didn't care for.

I use Vegas (although the full is pricey - erm, don't tell wife). It's
easy for a beginner to lay things out, but has a lot of more advanced
built in features. 

I also played with Premiere Elements and it did a good job as well.

Looks good to me. If all sponsorship  advertising was as unobtrusive
as your new model appears to be, I would be an extremely happy man
with less to rant about.

So no, I cant find anything to criticise in the model. So long as its
enough to actually get sponsors, it seems like a good balancing act,
and a model for others to follow. Obviously there are the usual
problems with how far down the tail sponsors will be prepared to
tread, so who knows how many people could use this model to bring in
some revenue, but in terms of unobtrusiveness I think its a winner.

Its about the only form of advert I personally will tolerate as a
viewer, I cant be the only one, so savvy vlogs, sponsors 
services/sites would do well to stick to this sort of post-roll stuff.
 Mind you I suppose the subtle wrecksalvage stuff was at the start
and that didnt bother me either. So maybe its the audio thang that is
of key importance, keep the sound unobtrusive and you wont try the
viewers patience so much is the lesson here? Compare and contrast with
the hideous walmart advert pre-rolls I get when going to watch vids on
the likes of CBS news. Or even with your own coverage of your
sponsorship stuff on todays rocketboom. It only annoys me when I can
hear it! Hoorah, why didnt I realise this sooner, Im sure Ive muted TV
adverts in the past and it works wonders.

Aha you are using 3ivx, which is the older type mpeg4, rather than
h264, but is superior in speed and quality to apples mpeg4.

Certainly when it comes to mpeg4 rather than h264, theres a lot more
choice of encoders  editing apps that may have built in export. 3ivx
on Windows may not even need quicktime pro to work, I cant remember.

Its a real shame that something went odd at 3ivx and they havent
released any updates or new versions for what seems to be years now.
So for those still wishing to use their stuff, and create ipod 
apple-tv compatible mpeg4 instead of h264, its harder to recommend
3ivx than it used to be.

They have also annoyed some of their users/customers by repeatedly
stating release dates for the next version of 3ivx, and then failing
to release at all for ages afterwards. This year, they announced 3ivx
5 in January, but it didnt materialise. Then it was about to be
released in February, with the assurance that just some minor thing
was preventing release. Now it June and it might come out on Tuesday
apparently, but based on past history it will be a minor miracle if
this happens. At this rate mpeg4 will be obsolete, totally replaced by
h264, by the time they update! Bugs that have existed in Mac version
since Tiger came out, are in danger of being joined by new problems
when Leopard arrives!

2007-06-04 Thread bestdamntechshow
Recently, we've made a few postings on our blog at Pluggd regarding
our chunking approach.

The first one went over really well, we got some emails and questions
from people who wanted to learn more.
http://blog.pluggd.com/2007/05/17/google-combining-video-with-search-results-halfway-there/

So we wrote another one recently, check it out:

Let us know what you think!

Heath, try this:
http://www.ipod-video-converter.org/

Free iPod Video Converter. It exports WMV, MPEG and AVI files into
iPod-compatible format, at least in theory. I installed it on my
Windows machine and used it to convert a WMV, but I did not try
putting the resulting file on my iPod. But I posted the file here if
someone wants to try it out and let us know whether it played on an iPod:
http://vlogademianervosa.blogspot.com/2007/05/free-video-converter.html

I guess I don't need to know badly enough - I posted it for my
students to experiment with.

If anyone tests the file, please let us know.

Cheryl

 So for those still wishing to use their stuff, and create ipod 
 apple-tv compatible mpeg4 instead of h264, its harder to recommend
 3ivx than it used to be.

Well the issue isn't the video codec its the audio.  I could select
h264 if I wanted to but I still wouldnt be able to select AAC audio
from the QT export options in any windows app other than QT Pro.

As I understand it, the issue isn't windows or windows apps, or 3vix
... its that apple for some reason doesnt expose all the export
options in the windows api (thus QT Pro is the only windows app that
can use QT Export with AAC Audio).

Hey folks,

The t-shirts arrived in Cambodia and we gave them to the Sharing

Thank you Jay! 

Here's the photo

If you use quicktime and select : export for ipod, it is so simple !
then you just have to use itunes to get it on your ipod (i got tens  
this way)
