[videoblogging] Re: Do Blip and Revver ads increase buffering times?
Thanks, Mike. Actually, I got a nice email from the Revver folks basically telling me the same thing... that it's likely some other connectivity issue, not the ads, that's causing the buffering problems. But if you still want a link to some examples, just follow the shameless plug below my name...

[videoblogging] Final Cut Pro Help!!
I have installed Adobe Flash and am now trying to export a video as a Flash movie (flv) through FCP. Export/Quicktime Conversion and then as option choose FLV. Whenever I try that however FCP crashes. Is there a trick to this? Thank you! Jill
RE: [videoblogging] Re: Do Blip and Revver ads increase buffering times?
Hey Chris, Showing ads do require us to run some extra code, which can potentially distract your computer from the core task of loading, decompressing and displaying the video. That said, the impact shouldn't be all that noticeable. If you drop me an e-mail off-list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) with a link to some specific examples I can see if there's something else going on with your videos. -Original Message- From: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Sent: Saturday, March 15, 2008 7:43 PM To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Subject: [videoblogging] Re: Do Blip and Revver ads increase buffering times? Well, I turned the Blip ads off, even the postroll ads, and now everything runs smoothly again. Which is great, because when people come to my site I want them to be able to view a nice, big, crisp, smooth running version of the show. The downside, of course, is now I won't make a penny when people watch the show on my site. I still have to work the kinks out of that one. I don't so much mind if the video plays herky-jerky on other sites (I TubeMoguled the crap out of it), I just want it looking great on my URL. Where are some good places to post the Revver version and make a few extra sheckels? Thanks for your two cents, Rox.

RE: [videoblogging] Do Blip and Revver ads increase buffering times?
Hey Rox, Drop me an e-mail off-list and we can diagnose your slow-loading. If you upload your own FLVs, that could cause a problem. It's also possible for us to put you on another bandwidth provider to improve performance. I'm going to address the ad issue itself in a separate e-mail replying to Chris. -Original Message- From: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roxanne Darling Sent: Saturday, March 15, 2008 5:09 PM To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [videoblogging] Do Blip and Revver ads increase buffering times? I do not have ads turned on for Blip and I find slow loading is an issue. It is definitely slower than when we managed our own server, to the point that many people have contacted me. But I balance the price of the hosting and the fact that the show is free to viewers. I would love for blip to have a premium service that rocked my world with speed. I would pay for that.

[videoblogging] Wordpress vs Blogger for Vloggers
Ok, I have been a Blogger user since I started my vlog. I also use Vpip. I started using that about 6 months or so ago. I have recently begun thinking about switching to Wordpress. the reasons why are 1) I would like more control over how my vlog site looks and 2) I'm bored. Now I have to say, when I look at sites, like Hollow Bone Films or Ryanne is Hungry and a few others who have Show in a Box with Wordpress I am like, 'man that is cool' but after spending over 2 days trying to work with Wordpress I am ready to stop vlogging all together...ok, maybe it's not that bad, but it has been a challange. Jay, Ryanne, Cherly and Eric have been great helping me out...but that kinda goes and leads to thisBlogger just worksyou don't have to know a whole lot to get it up and running and to even add video, the page elements are easy, it works like a person thinks it should (at least a person who is not ultra geeky) I was up and running and had video on my site in a few hours with Blogger, with Wordpress I am into day three and can't figure out why my links won't work Now I think Wordpress with Show in a box will be much better once it's all said and done...but the learning curve.man, there is a learning curve Which brings me to the point of this whole post...why can't Wordpress by more like Blogger in terms of use of use? Can it? Should it be? Who uses both? Who likes which better and why? Let the battle begin... heath http://batmangeek.com http://heathparks.com

I guess I count "cultures, customs, etc" as a separate thing than religious teachings. i.e. I guess I personally wouldn't feel one religion is being slighted just because cultures from countries that aren't predominantly Christian were being read about ... it's not like they're teaching those religions (are they)? I suppose we were taught about other "cultures, customs, etc" when I was in school ... but I never felt I was gaining insight into any given faith or belief set ... and it was generally presented 'in contrast' to the cultures, customs, etc we have here at home. - Dave -- http://www.DavidMeade.com

I don't know it its fair to claim public schools are out there teaching other religions and not Christianity ...

No, Fascism is not a form of Socialism. It was created in opposition to Socialism. In 1919, Benito Mussolini founded the "Fasci Italiani di Combattimento", which formed armed squads called the Blackshirts, to attack anarchists, socialists and communists.

It's hard to be raised in the US without being aware of at least the basics of Christianity, whereas Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. are far less understood, which leads to travesties like a Sikh getting shot for wearing a turban because some idiot mistook him for a "Muslim" terrorist. -- best regards, Deirdré Straughan living & travelling in Italy (and other Countries Beginning with I) www.beginningwithi.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I think that is part of the problem, that already happens.
