Are people vlogging more, but posting less? Are people leaving the group? Like me, have you become a lurker, not a poster? Did you loose interest in vlogging? Or, just don't have the time to keep it up? I'm posting less, but editing more video. That together with working full time, going to school part time, being a full time parent, working on a few books, and dealing with our lovely US economy.

The mechanics of video blogging have gotten easier, those questions will fade. The purpose of video blogging is becoming more defigned so thost discussions will fade.

Re: [videoblogging] Decline in posts to this group.
Life gets in the way. Still make media, but almost exclusively with cellphone: video edited in camera, stills and audio podcasts. Each kind of media - with the touch of a button or two - makes it automatically to Twitter, my vlog and its RSS feed. Wham-bam. Thank you Ma'am. Mastered editing, etc., and find I just want to make media seamlessly, without losing my stride. In the meantime, found this videoblogging community of media-making folks who ultimately totally replaced the 'celebrities' from other peoples' fictional stories as people I admired but from an untouchable distance. Even though I work in the industry. Screw that. Now, am entertained, taught, saddened, made joyful, and enlightened by those media-making folks - most of whom I've met, stayed with or stayed with me. Celebrities are part of my life rather than escape from it. Videoblogging has added enormous sums to my human wealth. Scoble said it best and I concur. This was / is a tech space that - as we'd hoped and dreamed from the beginning - would become obsolete when the tools caught up to the job at hand. The tools are not quite there (we need better cellphone cameras for one), but WILL get there. Soon. What a ride!

[videoblogging] Re: Recommendations for a small camera (Xacti or other) to shoot in India
Neil. That's great footage and piece, thanks for the model # of the Xacti. I've always been amazed by Canon Powershoot SD (400, 600, 1000) video at 640x480, yet I agree with the importing at .dv settings and render time issues. I've often wondered what the video is like with a Canon S5 with their stereo front mounted mics: (http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerShot-S5-Digital-Stabilized/dp/B000Q3043Y/ref=pd_bbs_5?ie=UTF8s=electronicsqid=1213883781sr=8-5) I'm using an AVCHD camera now, and on the 30p/12mbs data rate it converts to the .mov intermediate codec pretty quickly and then does not need rendering in Final Cut Express 4 to start editing, so it's at least as quick as bringing Canon SD1000 AVIs into FCE or iMovie or quicker. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Neil Katz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Neil Katz here, a journalist. I have had very good experiences with the Xacti CG65. Small, cheap, shoots well in low light, and is stable on zoom, and files sizes are small. I did an entire video story for the NY Times with that camera and even snuck a shot into a report for CBS News on national TV. http://video.on.nytimes.com/?fr_story=74e0011bd397f3fdad54e60c3b52612d009fa8bf Judge image quality for yourself. And keep in mind the NYT site is playing at about half resolution. I have purchased and returned every camera in the Xacti line except the CG65. The others have better specs, but nothing has a better picture. And it fits in your pocket, which means you will get the shot. Battery life is poor. Buy three batteries and a quick charger. Use an online site to buy non Sanyo batteries. They run $20/each. The only negative is in order to edit you will have to convert the native mp4 files into DV. Sanyo says you can edit with mp4 files and technically you can import them into Final Cut Pro. But it doesn't really work, trust me. That conversion process will take about 1 minute per minute of footage. So if you shoot three hours, expect three hours of conversion when you come home. As an aside, working in India, if you don't have Sony, you can't get it fixed or spare parts, adapters, etc. N --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Rupert rupert@ wrote: I agree. I've been using a Canon Ixus 860 (European name for Powershot, I think) and it shoots beautiful video. I love it. And it's FANTASTIC in low light. Better than Xacti. But not quite so good a grip. I think the Xacti pistol grip is the best way to shoot - better than the traditional camcorder grip. It produces big video files, though, compared to other little cameras I've used - so get yourself an 8GB memory card or two. I found the best deals for memory cards online - shops will rip you off.

Re: [videoblogging] Decline in posts to this group.
I've been too busy to make or watch anything for a few months, and I've spent the last few days catching up. I've been surprised by how many people have either slowed down their output or stopped completely over the last few months. So it doesn't surprise me that input to this list has dropped (though not the quality, I'm happy to see) It didn't depress me, though, because I didn't get the impression that anybody was stopping forever. I myself have had a couple of periods where I've stopped posting for extended periods (a whole year, once) and then started again when I'd got past a busy work or family period. Perhaps it's that for us personal videobloggers - those not doing a 'show' - there was a time when this was a huge new exciting toy that took priority over a lot of other things - but now it's a more regular part of our lives, subject to the same time pressures as everything else. The great thing is that people stay subscribed, so you don't *need* to be pumping stuff out regularly to keep it going. I posted a video for the first time in a while and I got the same number of views as usual, and loads of comments and emails in the first couple of days. From my browsing and chatting with people, I got the sense that people will be coming back online as the summer progresses and everybody emerges from under our work stones to have fun.

I got ZERO, I mean ZERO, responses!! You would think some of them would have said something. We were shooting for an online article with Apple, about how Technology (e.g., video-blogging over iTunes) is changing how Physics conferences is delivering content (Research or Public Outreach). We got a response from Apple, but I haven't followed up. I recently made a query to a theoretical physicist, they are saying we are reflective (book nerdy), don't like seeing pictures of ourselves. But, many physicists I approached (at conferences) for pics/interviews were very receptive/friendly. So, I just don't get it. I agree with the statement, that video-blogging has not caught on like text blogging.

Re: [videoblogging] Decline in posts to this group.
Well, first of all, this post on the decrease in posts, definitely increased the posts. I note that the list was at it's peak number of messages in June 2005, which is the month I started, so, maybe the deal is that the list started going down hill after Richard joined. Assuming my power-of-Richard hypothesis is not correct, I would note that it was very different in June 2005. This was before youtube, and the numbers were much smaller and, in addition to making videos, I watched and commented on many videos, and we sort of all seemed to know each other (I heard this was much more true in 2004). There are so many other social media, groups, sites, etc., associated with video and the web, that this group is really the remains of the people who first really pioneered video on the web, and that is very cool, historically, but things move on and change .. impermanence I, personally, still read the list, but I don't comment nearly as much, and, I think, a big part of it is that I have not seen videos and/or met most of the people who post these days, but a big part of that is my only laziness in not watching, commenting, and generally interacting with others. ... best ... richard (the one responsible for the drop in video blog list posts) p.s. I think that Schlomo and Adam Quirk started around the time I did, so they are suspects too.

Are people vlogging more, but posting less? Are people leaving the group? Like me, have you become a lurker, not a poster? Did you loose interest in vlogging? Or, just don't have the time to keep it up? others spoke clearly on this. We started in 2004 talking about HOW to videoblog. the archives are interesting to read since you see that people were truly just making it up. getting video onto a blog was literally a hack. Now its easy, so no need to talk about HOW...though i agree that list list is a solid place if you have a videoblogging tech issue. we've made places like showinbox.tv/forum to discuss specific technologies. We spent a year or so talking about the business of videoblogging. it was interesting seeing all the money pouring into new companies offering videoblogging services. its still amazing to think that Youtube sold for 1.6 billion dollars. that excitement has died down. the hype is stale. Robert is also right that many people are using Twitter to post links. But as Andrew said, content content content. the technology is herenow what do we want to say? no more excuses.

The level of expertise is indeed astounding; I'm learning a lot. I know some of you from around the web, but for those of you who don't know me: I'm a live streamer (with my N95) on various sites like Qik and Bambuser; a video tester at places like Seesmic and Phreadz; I am currently shooting (in mini DV format) a show that features my precocious 8 year old daughter called, aptly, The Lyrica Show; I'm learning how to edit it; Geo Geller has provided a ton of inspiration and help (as well as a mic!) for this project. May I humbly say that I think this group doesn't have to be feverishly active to remain relevant and helpful. (Don't forget, for a newbie like me, the searchable archives for yahoo groups are a fantastic knowledge base in themselves.) Most groups slow down and morph into something like an exclusive chatroom. This may be what is happening here. It probably should be encouraged, actually. The pioneers here can post occasionally to get expert feedback. It's like having a 'focus group' on tap. Perfect.
