Vlogger Defense Fund * Re: [videoblogging] Re: Hey PodTech - What's up with Lan's image?
Hi, although not really set up to act as a slush fund to broker disputes between two parties within the community, I actually have established a fund for legal support for those independent media makers who find themselves in hot water, and I believe there is a tad over $3,000 in the account which will be overseen by the Free The Media Foundation which still needs to be established. But, yes, a legal fund for the collective good all of us is of crucial importance. When I was carted off to jail, I had no idea how I'd raise the funds for an appeal. Fortunately, my little pay-pal banner was rather productive and there was about $3,000 left-over to establish this fund for the next time such a situation strike.

Lan, understand how you feel and do not find fault with your position. To quote Rodney King ... oh never mind. $300 is too low (considering this is after the fact) and $3000 is too high considering the limited use of the image and it's purpose. (Podtech may be a business, but we should lead by example too, we are suppose to be in this boat together). Solution (and certainly not the only): vlogger legal defense fund! How to do this? Podtech ponies up $1000.00 total which pays Lan $600.00 (double the lowest possible PRE use negotiated license fee) and opens a legal defense fund for video bloggers using the remaining $400 for the creation of this funds cost and a initial deposit. Lan can (if he chooses) donate any amount he sees fit to this fund. Seems like a nice way to make nice. I know that this means that guidelines, rules and a bunch of other stuff might need to be put into effect. Then again, this group seems to me at least, to be capable of expressing opinion that can be used to gauge under what circumstances funds would be disbursed.

At least that's how I remember hearing it. Sorry if I heard wrong. You told me specifically that PodTech was not in position to negotiate. The problem is I'm getting in between you and John Furrier. John's mom died this week which is causing problems figuring out where things are. I'll get him to answer you. Regarding photo prices, I talked with photographers who work for Associated Press, Business Week and other magazines. I agree that we dropped the ball. No excuses there, but I wasn't involved back then and am trying to clean up a mess and having trouble getting it cleaned up because of John's mom's death.

Robert, thank you for finally coming out and saying something for PodTech to the community. First, I must say that your statement: He believes his work is worth that and believes that there isn't room for negotiation on this issue. Is a lie. One of the points in my blog post was that I wanted, at minimum, to be contacted to negotiate. In the last couple days I did negotiate down a lot less than $3000 and even sent an updated invoice for it. So how is this not negotiating on the issue? Remember we talked about this on the phone, so I'm not sure why you left that out. PodTech had the chance to ask to purchase a license to use the photograph before it was used, at which time they would be able to set the terms. That didn't happen. Now that they have used the photograph already, who should set the terms? I gave PodTech over a month to respond to my terms and they didn't. When it was just me that was involved PodTech didn't care. When others started to blog about it and it was giving them a bad name, then PodTech started to care. Remember, that blog post was up for about a month before others started take notice to it. So PodTech showed to me they don't care about me, they only care about their image in the public eye. Next, I am not Thomas Hawk. Wait... Thomas Hawk? I will be the professional and not discuss the prices that PodTech pays him. Remember Robert, you told me how much PodTech pays him and that reinforced my price even more! You also said: It was easy to see how a mistake was made

If you have quicktime pro, you should be able to open the m4v/mp4 in quicktime, then do a 'save as' 'self contained movie'. This should give you a mov without actually needing to recompress the video or audio again, it just wraps it up in a mov file format. So as long as your m4v/mp4 was ipod compatible, the mov will be too. Doing it that way keeps things simple if you already have an encoding method that is ipod compatible. Avoiding issues like Apple sometimes changing the ipod spec, and for example the issue where theres no option to manually select baseline low complexity (s opposed to standard baseline) in qt, making it hard to manually create m4vs/mp4s of 640x that are compatible, making the 'uses apple ipod presets' the safer choice if compatibility is a must.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: .mov for ipod?
the reason I want mov's is because my feeds are based off filetype ipod is separated by mov and mv4 HD is separated by MP4. If i wasnt hosting on blip, I could specify the videos for each feed by simply using a different filename prefix but blip changes both the beginning and end of the file name, thus making this impossible.

When you upload the different files for an episode you specify Source or HDTV or Portable (iPod). I think if you based the feeds off the role, it would give you a file-type independent feed. So if you want an HD feed use: http://www.blip.tv/posts/?user=joshleoskin=rssrole=HDTV or for ipod: http://www.blip.tv/posts/?user=joshleoskin=rssrole=Portable%20(iPod) Score one for blip!

The prices are very reasonable (I just looked them up) and won't hold any establishment back. ditto in Australia. the agency responsible also redistributes this money to artists on the basis of sales of music and radio station playlists. -- cheers Adrian Miles
Re: [videoblogging] Re: .mov for ipod?
Somebody will probably tell me why this is bad, but you can just rename the file from .m4v to .mov and it works fine. Plays in Quicktime, plays on Ipod, and will be picked up as a .mov by your Feedburner feed generator. For your purposes, you don't need to mess about with converting or resaving as or anything like that.

[videoblogging] Re: How much money to videoblog full-time?
--- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Jay dedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I did read that Bill and it still sounds like speculation to me cold hard facts are what im after buddy correct, anytime we talk about ad sales, there's quite a bit of speculation. if you get paid by a company to make videos, then youre just an employee again. so here's an idea ive been floating around here lately... Do you think a videoblogger could raise money from his community/viewers? This is media supported more like the American NPR model. All content is free to everyone, but there's an understanding that if money isnt raised from the public, then the programming will stop. The perception is that because its not corporate sponsored, it can be much more critical and take longer times to tell stories. (NPR is not perfect, just an analogy) So my point is. let's say I want $4000 a month to live and make a regular videoblog on a theme. is it crazy to think he could raise $5 a month from 800 people? Its almost the great humbler because then you got to make a real connection with people. you have to really connect with a community, and they would really have to feel like youre a voice for them. Jay -- Here I am http://jaydedman.com Check out the latest project: http://politicalvideo.org 500 hours of George Bush speeches!! Search, download, remix!! I've revised my opinion on this topic. I don't think $5 from 800 viewers is feasible, but I also don't think you have to go all the way corporate with it. I think it's possible to split the difference IF you can get a topic that's important enough to a lot of people to get those that have money to sponsor you in order to enable the rest of the people to get the message either for free or for whatever they wish to or can afford to donate to the program(s). The benefit to the donors would be some kind of recognition or advertisement. This show has been brought to you by _. I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of what Rudy Casey did with http://Galacticast.com with credit given to donors supporters. Assuming one could come up with a show that was seen to be of great use to a population, I would think donors would like to be affiliated with the effort and potentially fund a videoblog to the degree that they're not really losing out. With a broad enough group that's benefiting, I can see several philanthropists picking up the slack for many of the 800 people who can't afford to donate or just aren't interested enough in your project to give you money for it. Of course, this is a chicken and egg situation where the more money that's donated to your show, the better you can make the show because you don't have to spend your time making money other ways. You can devote all your work-time to filming content and making the show more interesting, longer and more polished. This attention to product is likely what's going to get the sponsors interested in donating, so it requires a leap of faith on your part to start out making a quality program and HOPING that the supporting donations start to roll in. Otherwise... It's back to the old school. Pitch it and if someone offers you funding, go ahead and make the show. If not... Regroup and pitch something else. -- billcammack
