[videoblogging] Re: Decline in posts to this group.
Funny -I am now comoing back to the list after a long absence. I started following this list in 2004. But I never became an active videoblogger. But now I do have a series at my work called My Office Has A Kitchen. For the first time, I am editing video on a weekly basis and loving it. Videos can be seen at: http://iterasi.blogspot.com. I need to organize the videos better. Another reason to come back to the list! The thing is there are so many resources now available on the web but this list still seems to have a core group of really knowledgeable folks. That's why I come back here. This is where you find the pros, the pioneers. As Steve says, there are a lot of new technologies that are still quite unexplored. I hope this list continues to become a place where i can learn from others how to best use these technologies in my work and in my personal life.

I often tell the story of seeing your comment on my vlog that asked me to come over and join this list. 2004 It was such a huge help back in 2004 when we were just trying to figure out the best ways to host videos... You are right that it was al about learning how to videoblog back then. We were all watchiing everyone's videos. Think about that. Everyone on the list was watching every single video on the internet. ;-) Well, every single video blog... It was technically challenging... so t here were fewer people doing it. Links Clutter up the list with posts of here's a link to my most recent video of...: No way. We had RSS for that.. It's weird to think that it was frowned upon for people to point to their new videos. We were all watching everyone's new videos any way so cluttering up the list with pointers wasn't something that was done... Now everything has changed. We need pointers. They now pop up on twitter and friend feed. I always wanted FireAnt to let me see the popular videos that my friends were watching... Now it seems like we are getting that organically from a number of sources. Vlog It still irritates me when I hear someone say they posted a new vlog. They actually made a new 'vlog post'...not created a whole new blog to hold videos... but I'm getting over it... and understand that the video itself has become the vlog. YouTube It's also funny to look back at how we dismissed YouTube because it didn't allow access to the original QuickTime file or support RSS 2.0 with enclosures... Oops. Guess we missed the boat on that one. Exploring I'm still very excited about video on the web... New things I'm exploring are: - Live streaming via cellphone with Qik and other platforms. - Live broadcasting with Mogulus - Video conversations with Seesmic - HD video ( still wondering what camera to get ) I'm also still working on Citizen Journalism with Rocketboom and TheUptake... Along with that I'm looking into how all these technologies can be adapted by TV... So I think this is still a great place to talk about new technologies and new content... I surely couldn't have shared the above in under 140 characters... Meeting in Person It's always fun to see other videobloggers at events like SXSW too...

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.

One thing about this list that will never change is that this was the place where the pioneers in uncharted territory would discuss videoblogging. The list may not have high educational content now, but the archives are filled with it. For those that can understand this: This list is like The Well. Very few people think about The Well anymore, but its place in history is undisputed.

Re: [videoblogging] my favorite vlog template of the week
Ha!:) Of course you are right, that's why my mom would love it! There is a fine line between channel surfing and choosing. The thumbnail strip does have text to tell you what it is... I like how its not bogged-down in text, which is a direction I may start to move toward as I find that my writing is not really much of an extension of my video... though its the text that gets indexed in search engines at the moment. So though it does have a tv slant, I definitely think its a web interface... if that makes any sense. And it definitely has pro-theater setting to me though its a theater that proabaly only has one person sitting in it. What would a pro-theater/anti-tv interface look like on the web?

Hmmm, ok. Now I'm starting to understand you, Brook. You just want the video on the page with no frills/bells/whistles/whathaveyou. You know, like how people have been posting quicktimes on webpages on their geocities sites back in the day!:) Well, this one I want to show you is not that:) Though I think it really takes web concepts in a good direction: http://www.yongfook.com/ Now imagine all those little boxes are videos. I'm really starting to lean towards this sort of cluttered look, but with a big Recent video on top. The rest will be re-vlogging, my delicious feed, whathaveyou. But most of these little boxes will be video. If they want to see the video large, they would need to either be watching the Recent/Featured video or have my quicktime feed. Basically, I want to constrict the experience for the viewer as much as I can for some reason. I really just want them to trigger all the little movies at the same time.

I'm excited about these new interfaces! We've been playing with various theater view interfaces. We just launched this for your personal queue (if you use Mefeedia to subscribe to vlogs, feeds, TV shows, etc). Also, you can do any search on mefeedia.com and click the watch this page on the top of the results - it will launch in full screen mode, Flickr-style. We couldn't implement a fancy Flash interface, though, due to the many formats and players we have to support. The pro of not having this, though, is that we can easily include a link back to the original post so you can leave a comment, etc. Regards, Frank http://www.mefeedia.com - Feed Me Media --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Michael Verdi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've been looking at the Viewzi site for a while.

I have a library of 500+ videos (hosted by blip.tv) and each thumbnail shows the appropriate titl in the picture. I want a visitor to see other titles that tweak their imagination to watch. Question. Why not just take a Quicktime Player-skinned screen capture and use that to link to the corresponding video on Blip TV? If you have enough videos, visitors will have more videos to shake a stick at. Not only that, but visitors can also download it to their computer, iPod or other device. So... is this a pipe dream? Nope. In fact, it's pretty much become the defacto standard for videoblogging REGARDLESS of the video format you use. I hope I'm not misinterpreting anything. Feel free to lemme know if I am.

I think you're asking me those questions. So I'll defend my mail as a vlogging contribution. We were talking about how to make a site look like a porno site. You gave a link to a beautiful masterfully done site. It looks amazing. It is the opposite of a porno site. So I submitted a site I'd done using gif animations. The goal in this case is not to be a pioneer. The goal is to look tawdry and cheap. Using decrepit technology is the best way to achieve a porno look in my opinion. -John from totalvom.com. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am not sure to be understood but Who is the vlogger?

[videoblogging] Re: I Want My Vlog to Look Like a Porno Site
Haha. I'm laughing at myself now (and you). I see the misunderstanding. The site is called totalassface2003.com so you thought it was from five years ago. Watch the video the joke is based on. I went undercover, posing as an internet loser (which isn't far from the truth) and asked some tough questions of my youtubin' peers. I put a dated url on my name tag. It was part of my character. Here's the video again since you clipped it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvOs9HEzZQg -john from totalvom.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, ractalfece [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think you're asking me those questions.

[videoblogging] Autostart Flash Video Loops... Possible?
I´ve been using vPIP for embedding Flash videos. I would now like to place a small short video loop that would autostart when the page loads. I would like it to play without the visitor having to click anything. I´ve been looking through my vPIP documentation and it seems as if autostart is not available for Flash. Does anyone have an idea how to implement this? I'm using Blogger to develop a simple landing site of links to my video websites. I've got it running now with a click to play jpeg. I'd like to have a little video running on its own. Thanks Stan Hirson http://lifewithhorses.com
Re: [videoblogging] Autostart Flash Video Loops... Possible?
It can be done. You'll need to install the JWMedia Player - http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_FLV_Media_Player and configure vPIP to use that instead of the flash player it comes with. Then you can add the Flashvars autostart=true and repeat=yes. That said, some of those steps contain a bunch of sub-steps that I'm leaving out here but it's all documented on the vPIP site and the Jeroen Wijering site. A faster and easier solution would be to use Jerone Wijering's setup wizard and grab the code and paste it into your site: http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?page=wizard - Verdi On Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 9:26 PM, Stan Hirson, Sarah Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I´ve been using vPIP for embedding Flash videos.
