I went to http://www.vertigotheme.com/styles/vertigo-blue-wordpress-theme.htm but got a buy this domain page. Would love to see what you got. There's a market for premium Wordpress video themes. There aren't alot out there and video podcasters do have unique requirements. I could modify an existing theme (as someone said earlier, can't see the name right now), but because time is always an issue, I'd much prefer to pay to download a premium design from a marketplace of themes specific to video podcasting. But I'd love to see more than 5 themes. If someone on this list decides to produce premium video Wordpress themes and make it a business, let me know.

Here are a few suggestions: I'm curious why all the videos are not embedded inside the page. You might want to embed them for a cleaner look. It would also be helpful to be able to navigate to a page with all of your videos listed (even just a text description of each one). Basically, a video archive.

[videoblogging] Re: Video conversion drops audio quality
--- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Brian Richardson - WhatTheCast? [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: DVD-R uses the same MPEG-2 audio format (MPA) that a regular DVD will use. It's similar to MP3, but not exactly the same. The first thing to check is any quality settings on the camera. Since the DVD-R produces a compressed video, you want to shoot at the highest quality (i.e. shortest record time setting) to reduce the suck you take on with the first compression in the camera. There may even be an audio quality setting that's independent of the video quality setting. Next check what you're compressing to ... what's the bitrate on the resulting file? Higher is better. If that doesn't work and you have to have the best audio quality ... 1. Switch to a DV tape camera (shoot 16-but uncompressed stereo) 2. Record audio on a separate device, like a Zoom H2 or Zoom H4, then sync the audio in editing. duckpondpotter wrote: I'm suffering a drastic drop in audio quality when I convert my movies. I'm shooting onto dvd-r discs. I thought that the camera saved the audio onto an already compressed mp3 file, so I don't understand why the audio would have such a drop in quality during the video compression process. If any anybody has a suggestion for getting my audio through the conversion process more successfully I'd greatly appreciate it. We host a summer concert series that we film, and the quality of the audio is pretty critical. Thanks.

The last show I recorded on Sony Minidisc, so I'll try using that audio instead of the one that the camera recorded. Those Zoom recorders look very cool.AND CHEAP!!! I might have to spring for one of those. Do you have any recommendations for syncing a separate audio track. Do I just manually eyeball the sync on my editor or is there a way to automatically sync it while shooting? Thanks again for your help.

(snip) 3rd party comment: You can sync by using a visual/audio clue ... like a clap of hands ..or a old fashone film slate closing ... but I just expand the horizontal track in the editor and match up the waveforms of the camera audio and the external recorder audio. You do need to check on the sync if it is a long take (mine are up to an hour .. and the sync needs to be re-adjusted a couple of times at least) Richard Amirault Boston, MA, USA http://n1jdu.org http://bostonfandom.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7hf9u2ZdlQ
[videoblogging] Re: Copyright and Brightcove
As Tim said, music cue sheets are used in broadcast television. The shows have to document whose music they used as well as how long the clip is that they used. So you would put something like: Artist's Name DVD Title Track Number/Name Amount Used (seconds, minutes...) It's also possible that start time in your final video is marked down, because each instance of the use of music has to be documented. 30 seconds of this track, starting 2:15 into the program. 25 seconds from a different track from the same CD, starting 4:09 in A lot of times, instead of the artist's name, there's the Library or Catalogue name. You have companies that create music libraries and license them to companies for their use for a certain period of time, so marking down where you got your music from makes sure you're covered if someone tries to say you didn't pay for it. Also, music cue sheets are good in environments where you're outputting a lot of videos using the same libraries. If you have two producers working on the same series, they can avoid using the same music in back-to-back episodes, for instance.
