[videoblogging] Spices of Life in Boston Globe
The video blog I shoot and edit for Nina Simonds, Spices of Life, is featured in the Boston Globe Food section today: Simonds is the life of this video party By Jonathan Levitt, Globe Correspondent | June 13, 2007 SALEM -- For the latest episode of her new video blog, cookbook author Nina Simonds is bouncing around her kitchen throwing together what she calls the best dumplings ever. She's funny and charmingly scatterbrained, with red ballet slippers on her feet, eye glasses perched on her head, and a voice hoarse from talking and talking and talking. Also in the kitchen is Julie Lutts, her tall blonde recipe tester; Ingrid Schwamb, her personal assistant; Maureen Yasi, a shorter blondish recipe tester; and Steve Garfield, the quirky Jamaica Plain- based video blog pioneer who tapes the show. Everyone is laughing, cooking, getting bossed around, and mugging for the camera. It's like they're not really doing anything serious here, which is why Simonds's vlog, spicesof life.com , is becoming a hit. http://tinyurl.com/2xy87w or http://www.boston.com/news/globe/living/articles/2007/06/13/ simonds_is_the_life_of_this_video_party/ --Steve -- Steve Garfield http://SteveGarfield.com Watch Spices of Life with Nina Simonds: http://spicesoflife.com

[videoblogging] Re:cell phone website? question??
Hi everyone, as a newbie in cell phones, I would like to know if it is possible to embed a video from blip.tv onto a cell phone. If that is not possible, my next question is, how is it possible to insert a video into a wml document? I have a h264 5minute video and I can not insert it into a wml doc. I am using Adobe Go Live, and they offer either QT or SWF as video embedding options. Thanks in advance for offering any advice.

[videoblogging] More Colbert
Josh, you indeed held your own very well. I'd like to start up a discussion that began a few months back. I'll try to be clever ... Credentials,/Credibility (interchangeable), Content Creators, Consumers, Copyright and Corporate Control. Or navigating the 7 C's. (for the pirate in all of us) One thing that is obvious. Made even more so with Wolf's Colbert appearance last night. Explaining the position Josh took is nearly impossible to make clear in a short period of time. It is even harder when the point is lost trying to compare a citizen to a journalist. 30+ years ago the Journalist was a reporter first a personality second. Times change. Take a look at the headlines today. Blair bashes the press http://politics.guardian.co.uk/media/story/0,,2101652,00.html. Rather and Moonves http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/cbs/moonves_knows_about_entertainment_but_he_doesnt_know_about_news_rather_60886.asp#email we just endured days of Paris without the Riviera. Now is a good time to revisit organizing a Association of online content producers or some other descriptive name. Like my Fav Faux Facilitator would say... What say you?

[videoblogging] Citizen journalists deserve to be heard
I threw out a discussion request and like always, coming back to add to it. Depending on your POV, determines what resonates. One citizen journalist http://blackboxvoting.org/ Watergates, Watersheds Manchurian Candidates http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0307/S00065.htm Nearly four long years ago this column Sludge Report #154 - Bigger Than Watergate (archive version in original July, 2003 livery) heralded a watershed in the history of US Democracy in the form of a remarkable piece of online citizen research published on Scoop.co.nz Bev Harris's seminal article Inside A U.S. Election Vote Counting Program. A site with similar goal, worth mentioning. http://blackboxvoting.com/ I used the above because it was quick to grab. Josh made a better point ... Tom Paine (in the ass?) The day that CNN and others (including my local TV, Radio and print) started accepting and ENCOURAGING people to particapate by sending in VIDEO, the blurry line was lost. If the MSM is willing to use (not always pay for) stories they will use in a news cast, I feel confident that Citizen journalism is deserving of protection under the law. Just me framing a position.

Re: [videoblogging] YouTube to have H.264 versions
This news re: youtube certainly helps to change my opinion about H. 264's adoption potential. I think my prior comments on 3ivx went up against H.264 but I still believe the main benefit of 3ivx is that it is a better alternative to mpeg4 compression as an encoder. Its comparison to H.264 is really just that, a comparison between two different kinds of things. Whenever there is a demand, its usually worth providing the extra file format to fill it, so we've had both for awhile now. I always thought we would be really lucky if Apple could spark a home ip-TV demand with their AppleTV like they did with the iPod, where EVERYONE wants one or has one. Even though there are so many other options, maybe Apple could kick it all in gear. Having all of YouTube in H264 avail for d/l is a pretty good move if just to expedite people hooking up.. ..perhaps.

[videoblogging] Re:cell phone website? question??
It depends on the cell phone. Theres a lot of different capabilities out there at the moment, longterm things will probably move towards phones having fully featured browsers, with support for mp4, h264 flash video. I do not know anything about wml, from the little I have read I expect it will slowly dissapear as full browsers become more common in phones. I guess what format video it supports is again more of a question of what each different phone supports, rather than there being a video format that is supported by all devices that have wml capability. The QT or swf thing is probably a limitation of Adobe Go Live rather than wml. There are only a tiny number of phones that support h264 at this moment in time. For maximum compatibility the poor quality 3gp format is probably the safest choice for mobiles.

[videoblogging] Re: YouTube to have H.264 versions
Yeah Id agree, it was easy to get distracted by h264 vs mpeg4 issues, but at the end of the day 3ivx is a much better mpeg4 encoder than quicktimes own. We probably should forget other opensource alternatives, and DivX of course, but then all the other file wrapper ease of instructing people how o do this stuff easily comes into play. So has anybody had a chance to try 3ivx 5 yet? The lack of chatter on this is surely a sign in itself that many people here who previously played it safe and stuck to mpeg4, have moved on to h264 at some point in the last 2 years. Just to be my usual h264 bore of a self, heres an incomplete list of devices that support h264: ipod appletv sony psp sony ps3 xbox360 hd-dvd and blueray use h264 (as well as mpeg2 and VC-1) nokia n95 little doubt that over time digital satellite, cable over-the-air TV will also move to h264. With this in mind, who would bet against h264? Only in the browser is h264's domination not a near-total certainty. I still hope that one day video will form a part of web standards and be incorporated into browsers directly rather than through plugins such as quicktime. But it may not happen, who knows at this stage. Maybe its more likely once royalties arent payable on certain uses of h264? Id still like to help identify the h264 quality issues you werent happy about. Have you tried encoders other than quicktime? Got any screenshots of clips where the poor quality is visible?

Doh, sorry I meant shouldn't, not should. On the 'making h264 encoding much faster' front, Im happy with that elgato turbo.264 hardware, certainly takes away the longer encoding time downside of h264. The quality is acceptable, but not quite as good as a real good multi-pass h264 software encoder could manage. It gets a definite thumbs up from me for saving energy.

Probably by posting your vids in that format and raving about it, along with being able to give people a decent reason why theyd actually offer their vidoes in DivX format.

Greetings, Cheers for the info. I would like to support Ogg Theora.

All the hardware that has appeared in recent years that supports mpeg4 and h264 is not helping. Being free from patent woes, and quite good, is tragically not enough to ensure adoption.

[videoblogging] Re: Free DivX pro download
Oh I notice that DivX have made some hardware that is in some ways comparable to the Apple TV, although it has no hard drive: http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/09/divx-gejbox-media-streamer-hardware-revealed/ Was this device at Pixelodeon at all? I have mixed feelings about it, in some ways its a sign of what I was saying, they have to create something like this/get 3rd party hardware companies to make equivalent devices, to keep DivX alive. I also dont like devices like this that stream straight from a computer, because it means leaving your computer on, which is a waste of electricity. Even the Apple TV and suchlike make no sense to me now, because I was appauled by how much juice my LCD TV was using, so have moved to using a smaller LCD monitor as my TV, connected to a relatively low-power-consuming computer.

Re: [videoblogging] Re:cell phone website? question??
Wednesday, June 13, 2007, 8:14:10 PM, Steve Watkins wrote: I do not know anything about wml, from the little I have read I expect it will slowly dissapear as full browsers become more common in phones. I guess what format video it supports is again more of a question of what each different phone supports, rather than there being a video format that is supported by all devices that have wml capability. My job at the moment is building web applications to support selling and serving content (music, videos, ringtones, pictures, etc.) - mainly to mobile phones. Along the way I've learned a few things about WAP, WML and phone capabilities. The first thing is that phone browsers and phone capabilities are *very* different from each other. In the web world most people don't even worry about the differences between Mozilla, IE and Safari; in the world of mobile browsers, it's common to support many tens of different configurations for different types and models of phone. The second thing is that most phones in the world are really dumb. A large proportion have no data access at all. Of the ones which do have data access, the great majority connect over slow GPRS or an equivalent, and only support basic WAP. Hardly any phones even support MP3, let alone video. Of the phones which do support any kind of video, it's almost always 3gp, but each phone has its own quirks of what sizes and formats it will support. We use a pretty complex transcoding service to prepare video and audio content for delivery to mobile phones. It's complex because it has to detect and support the capabilities and quirks of so many different handsets, and it needs continual adjustment as new phones appear and old ones split into updated and original versions. WML is not actually too bad to work with. It's essentially a very reduced subset of XHTML, with a few cunning extras to avoid the need for JavaScript in common cases. It has the technical advantage of using reduced bandwidth, and the psychological advantage of reduced expectations. It's quite feasible to write a really useful WAP application which just uses simple text, forms and links with the occasional small image, people don't expect fancy graphics, fonts, layout and animation. -- Frank Carver http://www.makevideo.org.uk

[videoblogging] Re: H.264 Also Dominating the iPhone
I doubt people would object to you posting relevent stuff to this list, even paid events are ok to talk about if they are relevent, and especially if you actively communicate on this list. Its those that only post here with offtopic stuff or glorified adverts and then vanish that tend to annoy people. You dont seem to be one of those, as youve already had the courtesy to ask :) Its funny, the iphone and comments made by apple when it was first announced, regarding youtube compatibility, that first started the h264 rumours. What I wonder about, is whether the h264 version of youtube will be an Apple exculsive, at least for a while, that wouldnt surprise me at all. I wonder if it will improve the number of youtube videos available on the Nokia N95, which has a youtube thing but very limited, and must already be using mpeg4 or h264 as the phone doesnt support flash video. If youtube go the whole distance and make their main website h264, will this make media companies who like to sue youtube, even angrier, as it will be perceived that the copyright abuse the masses indulge in through youtube is 'even more damaging' due oto people being able to download youtube stuff so easily. Will video creators get upset if downloads are promoted, as it will potentially reduce their 'number of plays' stats if people download a video and watch it repeatedly, as opposed to having to go to youtube each time?

[videoblogging] Re: YouTube to have H.264 versions
Ta for the info. Ive been reading up on this. The html 5 video thing should really make a difference at some point in the future, if it survives the draft process and is done in a flexible enough way. I note that so far it is proposed that ogg is the format that html 5 browsers should definately support, but that they are free to use other formats as well. I need theora to be supported in more mac windows end-user apps for me to be more positive about the format. Right now it seems relatively unknown beyond the linux community, which is a shame. Also gotta be a tiny bit worried that its not definately immune from patent/licencing claims, if it catches on then all sorts of companies will scrutinize it closely to see if it uses any methods which they have patents to cover.

Oh I notice that DivX have made some hardware that is in some ways comparable to the Apple TV, although it has no hard drive: http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/09/divx-gejbox-media-streamer-hardware-revealed/ Was this device at Pixelodeon at all? I have mixed feelings about it, in some ways its a sign of what I was saying, they have to create something like this/get 3rd party hardware companies to make equivalent devices, to keep DivX alive. yep...DivX showcased the device at Pixelodeon. It was actually pretty cool.an obvious response/competitor to Apple TV. seems like it could handle many more formats and seemed more open to hacking.

Re: [videoblogging] Political Video archive
Amazing effort, thanks for this! I'll post it where I think people will most enjoy it. Or *not* enjoy it ;) yes, we need help in 3 ways. 1. certainly join our group if you're interested in helping us grow the collection to other kinds of political video (http://groups.google.com/group/politicalvideo) 2. make a video using any of the Bush archive. We'd love to profile on the front page to show examples. It can be the obvious remixor you can make commentary. 3. help us promote http://polticalvideo.org. email it out to communities you think would appreciate it. this archive wont help if no one knows about it. feel free to send me any questions.

[videoblogging] Re:cell phone website? question??
At Pixelodeon there was a presentation by Mywaves. I have the first video that I will upload in a few hours. My understanding is that the service is free and that it is carrier independent so you aren't locked in to viewing just what your phone carrier will allow you to see for $$$. You can upload videos in any format and they will handle the transcoding. They are also looking for content providers to work with them on shared revenue deals and projects. For more information check out http://www.mywaves.com Gena http://outonthestoop.blogspot.com -- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Gromik Tohoku [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi everyone, as a newbie in cell phones, I would like to know if it is possible to embed a video from blip.tv onto a cell phone. If that is not possible, my next question is, how is it possible to insert a video into a wml document? I have a h264 5minute video and I can not insert it into a wml doc. I am using Adobe Go Live, and they offer either QT or SWF as video embedding options. Thanks in advance for offering any advice.
