[videoblogging] How to embed high quality MP4 versions of YouTube videos!
I've been reading about how to make YouTube videos look really good. There's quite a good article here: http://tinyurl.com/6lz636 BUT the most useful thing I discovered was how to link to and embed the High Quality MP4 versions that you can toggle to watch on the site. If you're posting/linking to a YouTube video, add fmt=18 to the end of the URL and it'll play in HQ. Doesn't work for embeds, but I found a way to cheat it: add ap=%2526fmt%3D18 to the end of both URLs in the embed code and it'll embed as a High Quality MP4 video. NO MORE SHITTY YOUTUBE EMBEDS! http://tinyurl.com/5c9e3h

Sorry, pressed send before I could explain that the last TinyURL was a link to a post on my Tumblr blog. Where you can see it in action with the High Low Quality versions of Epic FU embedded next to each other.

Hi John Sorry for the incomprehension but my questions was not a response to your post. I just say to be a vlogger today is to be in the flux and the innovation ( OMHO) Just trying, explore, create and connect ( just the opposite of a porn website) Sorry for my bad english Nice day alls Loiez Le 24 juin 08 à 23:48, ractalfece a écrit : 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?

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions and giggles. I do agree that the visual effect I want, could be obtained using the Show In The Box video related plugins... if I could get them to work. Ever since I upgraded WordPress 2.1, video Archive, Related and Recent video plugins are pouched and not functional on my site. It's been several disappointing months, with countless suggested fixes, but in the end I can not get them to work. An example... okay, try this one: www.partybabe.net . It has the basic idea with lots of video thumbnails.

One solution I've come up with, which I think I'm going to go with, is having multiple columns, with a few different small embedded Blip players in them. All with different playlists. Would also work with Vimeo players, Youtube players - anything - but I like Blip's playlist guide features best. You can size them right down so they'll play right in your sidebar and make them link to a bigger version if the viewer wants. That way you can keep a Blog timeline *and* surround your videos with multiple playable thumbnails, which you can manage easily via playlists (or new Shows) at Blip. I've been playing with a 4 column Wordpress theme called Fjords. Each column has different types of videos - Just working out whether 4 is overkill! It's surely possible to give lots of choice *and* space with a regular 3 column WP theme.

I envision wall to wall thumbnails with random or categorized tagged video entries. The main page and the individual post page would both look the same. One main post and surrounded, wall to wall, with linked thumbnails to other videos. 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. So here's the details. Currently in WordPress 2.5.1 database. Using the latest v.PiP viewer (and displayer). Ideally I would like to keep the database content and all the current comments. So... is this a pipe dream? Mike http://vlog.mikemoon.net [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Could popping the pretentious bubble that was growing on someone's forehead like a petit pois be considered an innovating and pioneering contribution to video blogging ? Or do both parties the popped as well as the popper become fish gasping for water trapped in a net of asshole behaviour ? John at total vom dot com
