Re: [videoblogging] Re: Adam Curry on GeekBrief.tv
Hello,Originally (at least from my perspective), after listening to this...http://shitecom.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=73950 ...this was about the contract being bad. The PodShow and Adam Curry were OK. But they did nothing wrong. It's just that it was my/our opinion that the contract was bad. But you didn't have to sign it, so things were OK. But after hearing this...http://geekbrief.podshow.com/?p=69...I/we then starting having a problem with Adam Curry. And starting question his character. And that's what this discussion has now evolved into.See yaOn 4/5/06, Michael Sullivan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i've not really followed the story i listened to some of the podcast about it.so, is this (controversy?) about Adam Curry not admitting intracacies of the contract or is it about the contract itself?

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Will vodcast/podcast Internet Entertainment Networks Work?
Hello,I haven't admitted it on this list, but I'm filming Internet only TV shows. (At least one should be released by the end of this year.) So I think it's coming sooner than you might think.Sure, I don't expect to pull a profit right away. And I'm not by any means spending millions of dollars. But Internet TV shows are on their way. (And I doubt I'm the only one doing this.) See yaOn 4/5/06, JV [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think this is a tricky question and a bit confusing.I don't think we will see internet only dramas that are producingweekly episodes with budgets in the tens of millions anytime soon.This is one element of the TV template. I think that internet entertainment networks will work. (Obviously orI wouldn't work where I do.) But, it reminds me of a quote from DaveChappelle's interview on Inside the Actors Studio.His father, a professor, asked him if he thought he could make it as a comedian. He responded that if he could make as much money as ateacher and be a comedian, then he would consider that making it.But back to the template element. I don't think it is out of thequestion, but I don't think it is mandatory either. I think the cornerstone of digital entertainment is the freedom to use any format,even a traditional one. I think it is like asking if television willbe able to succed with vaudeville programs at its inception. It did, but it succeeded with other programs as well. Vaudeville, both overtelevision and in person slowly morphed into unrecognizable forms suchthat the vaudeville format is considered passe, but the Chappelle showis fresh and innovative.

Re: [videoblogging] vlogweek 2006 - technorati tag in fireant?
Hello,I don't think so either.(Assuming the vlogger is doing this) Vlogging watching software (like Fireant) would have to scan the HTML (either in the RSS description or on the page from the RSS link) and look for some semantic HTML markup. It would need to look for either rel-enclosure or rel-prefetch. As in:a rel=enclosure href="" http://example.com/show.ogm.../aor:a rel=prefetch href="" http://example.com/show.ogm.../aor even:a rel=enclosure prefetch href="" http://example.com/show.ogm.../a(You get the idea)(Just an FYI. I don't think either of these have found their way into a Microformat yet. Remember: Microformat == semantic HTML + a specification. But then again, I don't really thik that's necessary.

Re: [videoblogging] Technorati OPML ??
Hello Lisa,What would be useful is a format that could split things into parts.For example: here's part 1 or 20, part 2 or 20,... part 20 or 20. (Kind of link the pages of a search engine result.) The Atom format has facilities for this. (Via rel-next and rel-prev via atom:link)Also, semantic HTML could do this. (Semantic HTML is just HTML using certain facilities, already built in to HTML, for add meaning.) For example, just use the HTML a or link elements with rel-prev and rel-next. And you could use the XOXO Microformat (or some other semantic HTML) as a replacement for for OPML. For example: div class=shows ul class=xoxo li class=show a media=screen rel=alternate bookmark type=text/html href="" href="http://www.kitkast.com/">http://www.kitkast.com/Kitkast/a (a media=tv rel=alternate type=application/rss+xml href="" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/KITKAST">http://feeds.feedburner.com/KITKAST Subscribe/a) /li li class=show a media=screen rel=alternate bookmark type=text/html href="" href="http://captainhumphreys.com/">http://captainhumphreys.com/Captain Humphreys Project/a (a media=tv rel=alternate type=application/rss+xml href="" href="http://chqt.blip.tv/posts/?user=CHQTskin=rss">http://chqt.blip.tv/posts/?user=CHQTskin=rssSubscribe/a) /li /ul a rel=next href="" Vlogs/a/div(Note: This semantic HTML probably needs alot more work though.)It's the hyperlink at the bottom -- the a element at the bottom -- that would take you to more stuff. (Also, you'd probably want to use another a element with rel-prev to get to the previous stuff.)

Re: [videoblogging] vlogweek 2006 - technorati tag in fireant?
Hello Josh,Here's some info on rel-prefetch:http://www.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/Link_Prefetching_FAQ.html (I believe the term prefetch, in this case, comes from SMIL. And is somewhat meant to mimic it's usage.)On this page, the info is pertaining to using rel-prefetch is with the HTML link element. However, like with all usage of the rel and rev attributes. It can be equally applied to the a element too.Note (in case it isn't clear), the sematics of each (as I understand them) is as follows: rel-prefetch: This means: pre-download this. (It says nothing about any extra relation between the target and the document though. Like if it is attached or not.) rel-enclosure: This means: this thing is attached to this document. (Often this causes user-agents to pre-download it. But they don't have to. All this says it that the target is attached to the document.)

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Best Overal Digital Video Format
Hello,I think the only way to really make all (or most) browsers support one standard video format is to force them.Basically, we do this by making a single video format the
defacto standard. In other words, all of us vloggers just start using one video format, and eventually, the browser makers will feel compelled to support that format.Now, this doesn't mean that we don't support other formats. It just means that as a
baseline we always support that one video format.(My vote is for Ogg Theora to be the defacto standard for the reasons I previously mentioned.)If you want an example of this working Just look at RSS. It's now being supported by all the browsers because it was a defacto standard.
I.e., the browsers added support for RSS because everyone was using it.See yaOn 4/4/06, Harold Johnson

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Best Overal Digital Video Format
Hello,Currently, I don't think there is one defacto standard video format. There's a whole set of formats that are currently being used:MPEGWMVQuickTime (.mov) M4V (iPod)MP4 (MPEG4)FLV (Flash Video)RM (Real Media)XivdOgg TheoraMost vlogs I go to regularly support around 4 of these formats.Everyone seems to be trying to support as much as possible to get the widest possible audience. Honestly, I think it's early enough in the game where we can influence and perhaps even determine which format will become the defacto standard.As soon as you get enough browsers/players reading it, and get enough free (and maybe non-free) vlog hosting providers producing it, it will become the defacto standard.

Hello,OK, I looked at Richard's source code (which I probably should have done right away) and I see the problem.Now this is something I've argued against over at Microformats.org , but Technorati gets the category name from the URL you link to.Normally, if you had a rel=tag link URL like: http://example.com/this/is/it/NewTubeThen your category would be NewTube. I.e., Technorate looks at the last word (if you want to call it that) in URL.Richard's link URL (for videobloggingweek2006) is: http://www.richardshow.com/?cat=7Which does NOT have videobloggingweek2006 as the last word.

They can point to any site you want.So, for example, instead of using: http://www.technorati.com/tag/Video%20Blog%20Week%202006 You could have used: http://example.com/just/some/stuff/Video%20Blog%20Week%202006 Hope that helps.See ya -- Charles Iliya Krempeaux, B.Sc. charles @ reptile.ca supercanadian @ gmail.com developer weblog: http://ChangeLog.ca/ ___ Make Television http://maketelevision.com/ -- Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen URL: http://www.solitude.dk/ Commentary on media, communication, culture and technology. -- Charles Iliya Krempeaux, B.Sc. charles @ reptile.ca supercanadian @ gmail.com developer weblog: http://ChangeLog.ca/ ___Make Television http://maketelevision.com/--Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen URL: http://www.solitude.dk/ Commentary on media, communication, culture and technology.Yahoo!

[videoblogging] RFC: RSS and Atom Feed Auto-Discovery for Internet TV
Hello,(I'm requesting comments on this proposal.)A while ago I was thinking about the problem of... how do you tell the difference between a (text-based) blog's RSS feed, from and (audio filled) podcast RSS feed, from (video filled) vidcast RSS feed?! And more importantly, how do browsers, search engines, web crawlers, and other machines tell the difference?! After all, most people use different program for each. (Typically, people use one program to read their blog and news feeds. Another program to listen to their Internet radio feeds. And yet another program to watch their Internet TV feeds.) So you need to know which is which so you can handle them differently. After doing a bit of research, I found that what we (Internet TV, vlog, vidcast, vodcast, etc makers) need to is add...media=tv ...to our link elements that we use to link to our RSS or Atom feed for our vidcasts. As in: link media=tv rel=banana type=application/rss+xml href="" http://example.com/feed title=Example/I wrote a more complete explaination here: http://maketelevision.com/log/rss_and_atom_feed_auto-discovery_for_internet_tvComments?See ya -- Charles Iliya Krempeaux, B.Sc. charles @ reptile.ca supercanadian @ gmail.comdeveloper weblog: http://ChangeLog.ca/___ Make Televisionhttp://maketelevision.com/ SPONSORED LINKS Individual Fireant Use YAHOO!

How does/can this apply to videoblogging?I do think that alot of current practice with RSS (and Atom) is a bit dumb and wasteful. However, the are already solutions in place for alot of these problems. (People have already solved these problems before.) For example, given that we get RSS (and Atom) feeds via HTTP we can use HTTP conditional gets. Let me elaborate (for those that don't know what HTTP conditional gets) Most web clients (like web browsers) have a cache where they store stuff they already downloaded. They use this so they don't download the same exact file over and over again. (Doing this makes things faster.) So (with an HTTP conditional get), the web client says to the web server I want to download this file,... but only give me it if it changed, else don't bother, and just tell me it is the same, and grab it from my cache. Currently, the only 2 HTTP conditional gets that are defined in IETF RFCs are: If-None-Match with ETag and If-Modified-Since with Last-Modified. (Although, just out of coincidence, I've been talking about creating another one over on the P2P hackers mailing list that's used to shunt a web client over to a P2P network, so it can get the file from there. It's even motivated by vlogging, vidcasting, Internet TV, or whatever you want to call it. But anyways,) Making use of HTTP conditional gets would reduce the bandwidth problems.But that's only part of the problem. What about notification? I think that that's an active area of development. And we'll see things coming out for this in the coming the next few years. I think alot of the large companies in this are pushing for a kind of P2P system for this. (Wish I remember the name of the mailing list that this is being discussed on. It was mesh something... or something like that.) In the long run, I think we'll see a reinvention of NNTP and USENET.So, RSS (and Atom) good... but more people need to start using HTTP properly. (And we need are few more technological advancements.)
