[videoblogging] Making Vlog Europe 2008 Vlog GLobal

2008-09-29 Thread Jeffrey Taylor
Well, we've run into a problem...a good sort of problem.

I was worried that events were not getting off the ground for vloggers for
the boring old can't be arsed to do it reasons, but I think the truth of
the matter is far more encouraging: People are just damn busy doing great
things, and or/are sacrificing income for the sake of their projects for
various reasons.

With the above in mind, I'm working with a few people to find a way to *make
a small portion of Vlog Europe Vlog Global* via Flashmeeting or some other
means that can have the most people participate simultaneously. Just because
we are all busily trying to make things work does not mean we can't come
together and talk about what we're up to, what we sand for and what we're
hoping and planning.

Details are sketchy at the moment, but I am certain that we'll be doing
whatever we do for a couple of hours on Saturday 18 October. Look for more
information laterperhaps later today (Monday).

  Subject: [vlogeurope] VlogEurope 2008 practical info
  To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
 
   Hello all,
 
  Here is some practical information for VlogEurope 2008 which takes place
 in
  Budapest, October 18th-19th 2008.
 
  == What is VlogEurope? ==
  VlogEurope is a yearly meeting of videobloggers and vlog-interested from
  Europe and beyond. It took place first time in September 2005 in
 Amsterdam,
  and has since taken place twice - in 2006 (Milan) and 2007 (Heidelberg).
 
  This year, VlogEurope takes to Hungary and Budapest which is a dynamic
  central European city. As in earlier years, a central part of VlogEurope
 is
  to explore the city/area around it, and we got a few surprises for
  participants up the sleeve :)
 
  == Participation Fee==
  Thanks to generous sponsorships, VlogEurope is a free event to attend.
 
  == Transportation ==
  As we have earlier discussed on this mailinglist, an idea this year is to
  book a bus to travel from France towards Hungary. This, however, turned
 out
  to be far too expensive so we are currently thinking of renting a few
  vans/larger cars. These vans (2 or 3?) would then departure from
 different
  destinations and make it towards Budapest, and back. Loiez Deniel has
 more
  information about this, but a suggestion put forward is to have one van
  driving from Amsterdam, and another from Lyon. Comments?
 
  == Accommodation ==
  We have found a loft apartment in Budapest that has 18 beds divided into
  three rooms. This will be the VlogEurope HQ during this weekend
 
  Here you can read more about the space: http://www.lofthostel.hu/
 
  We have reserved the 18 beds for the night of October 17th and 18th. This
  means that we check in on friday 17th and check out again on Sunday 19th.
  The cost of these 18 beds is covered with a surplus from VlogEurope
 budget
  last year, thanks to the sponsors BlogTV, Xacti, Blip.tv and TechSmith.
  This
  means that in addition to there being no participation fee for
 VlogEurope,
  we can maybe give you free accommodation as well! :)
 
  Q: Who will be assigned these 18 beds?
  A: It is a mixture of first come - first served and a priority being
 given
  to students or others of low income. If you already signed up at the wiki
 (
  http://vlogeurope.com/wiki/index.php?title=2008_Participants ) - great
 :)
 
  Q: How do I actually sign up?
  A: Send an e-mail to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
  Q: What if I want to arrive earlier and/or stay later at this same place?
  A: Please send an email to Katie at [EMAIL PROTECTED] saying you are
 part
  of VlogEurope, and would like an extended stay. The max cost (4-bed dorm)
  is
  4500 Hungarian Forints which equals about €19. You can see the prices
 here:
  http://www.lofthostel.hu/booking.html .
  Note: You will pay for your additional nights while in Budapest -
  everything
  at LoftHouse is done in cash.
  Also please make sure that you list your arrival and departure days here:
  http://vlogeurope.com/wiki/index.php?title=2008_Participants
 
 
  VlogEurope 2008 is approaching fast! I am looking forward to meeting you
  all
  and exploring Budapest with you while talking about all things
  vlog-related.
 
 
 
  Got any questions? Please just reply to this message or e-mail me
 directly
 
  Best,
 
  Raymond M. Kristiansen
  co-organizer VlogEurope
  www.vlogeurope.com - website will be updated soon :)

[videoblogging] Viewing My Video on Real Player Windows Media Player vs on DVD on a TV monitor

2008-09-29 Thread Stephen
Following filming, editing, and making a file of my video I was pleased 
to make a DVD and watch it on a televsion screen. Everything looked 
good on the television screen.

Then I opened up my file to watch it on Real Player and Windows Media 
Player. To my surprise the images in the part where I hand held the 
camera to do a pan shot are nowhere near as clear as the same clip on 
the televsion monitor. 

Whereas the televsion monitor showed a pleasing pan of the scene, Real 
Player and Windows Media Player are not able to maintain solid images 
of people during the panning with many multiple images blurring and 
shaking the moving picture. This is the exact same clip from the raw 
footage. 

Any explanation or solution? Or have I done something wrong?

Some important details are missing here - Are you looking at exactly the
same file in all cases (as in, are you playing the DVD back on your computer
and comparing that to playback of the DVD in your DVD player)? Is the TV
screen an interlaced screen vs. your progressive screen on your computer?
I'm guessing you're seeing interlacing artifacts on the computer but not on
TV. Also the monitor's refresh rate vs. the TV refresh rate can make a
difference depending on what type of content you have (is this 29.97 fps or
24p?)

Re: [videoblogging] Viewing My Video on Real Player Windows Media Player vs on DVD on a TV monito

2008-09-29 Thread Brian Richardson
It sounds like one of two problems ...

(a) you might not have enough processor power to play back the file
smoothly on your computer
(b) the encoding settings you selected make the file choppy (lower bit
rates don't handle pans or fast motion gracefully)

What did you use to encode the Real/Windows Media files?
Have you tried encoding to DiVX or Quicktime?

As others have asked .. Then I opened up my file ... By this did you mean 
you opened up the very same DVD and played it on your computer using both 
Real Player and WMP?

Hey Brian,

Saw this in the G-train subway, I think it was my stop at Classon Ave:

It's always weird seeing something you think exists only on the Internet out
in the real world.

You can post as many videos as you want in a single post - just link
  them. I think you are using vpip so you can only put one video there.
  The reason it's designed that way is that you can only have one RSS
  enclosure per post - which is why we usually stick to one video per
  post. A couple of years ago I posted a video I shot at a Coldplay
  concert and just linked all the other video in the post like this -

   hey guys!
  
   anybody know if it's possible to upload several videos to a single
   wordpress post? how?
  
   I have 6 videos from fashion week that I'd like to post but I don't
 want
  one
   to go to my homepage and scroll down with just fashion week stuff as my
   latest videos, I'd like to (if possible) just keep it all as one post
  with
   of them available to see.
  
   any ideas?
  
   thanks!
