[videoblogging] At long last, an introduction
I've been quietly lurking here for many months now. Listening and learning. And it's finally time for me to introduce myself and my new video blog. My name is Warren and today I am officially launching my vlog called The Vespa Diaries: http://www.vespadiaries.com/ It's got some rough edges...things that are incomplete, etc. But I'm naturally interested in receiving feedback, especially regarding video quality, usability, browser compatibility, and balance between video and non-video content. Thank you for all that you've taught me over the months. I look forward engaging in the discussions here, and to learning even more in the months ahead. Best regards, Warren P.S. If you are not familiar with the PBS show called Rick Steves Europe, then my video post called Rick Steves Parody won't make any sense at all.

Found this. Apparently, the deinterlace function when exporting in iMovie09 doesnt work. http://www.macworld.com/article/139124/2009/03/export720pimovie09.html They've written a work around there. I hate iMovie09. Hated iMovie08. Just another reason not to use it. If you don't have Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express is far superior to iMovie.

[videoblogging] Re: Transparent Video Player
Its Rob here. While I truly understand the aggravation things like the transparent video player can create in some folks, I take slight exception to the claim there is no use for them whatsoever. The primary use for them is making money or opt-ins. Specifically, more money or opt-ins than you can make on a site without one. Just about any marketing technique will aggravate someone. The key question for any marketer is: Is the aggravation / click-aways offset by the increased sales / opt-ins techniques like the transparent player provide? If the answer is yes, most marketers will use them. Or at least consider them. Its a simple decision based on numbers. No matter how much you hate American Idol, it will stay on the air until the numbers dictate that it shouldn't. I don't know what the exact research on these babies is. I do know the best online marketers test rigorously, and then use only what works. And they are more than willing to alienate a few if the overall effect on their business is positive. The security dangers may outweight this positive impact. But if it doesn't you will continue to see them on websites.

SECURITY ISSUES 2). Just like popups flashy ads, people WILL NOT put up with this player auto-scrolling their web browser PERIOD (Mainly for the reason above) will do just about ANYTHING to GET RID or BLOCK it (Some IE-based clones already come with the ability to block Flash, which is what this player depends on) 3). I personally LOATHE websites that auto-start an audio or video clip AS WELL AS sites that some person (Be they an actual person or animated character) auto-starting themselves to play their messages. As such **I WILL GET OFF THAT SITE IMMEDIATELY** 4). If employed on the wrong websites, this kind of thing can lead to leaving things such as cookies and other trojans OR WORSE (Especially when it comes to IE). Hence my top concern above.
