[videoblogging] Re: Does the file size of video matter anymore?
Matter in what sense? Largest possible audience? Probably, but I've been doing HUGE files since 05 and havn't had any problems growing an audience. As a general rule my shows are a hour and a half long (movie and host segments). Now I have spent a long time trying to perfect my compression, but i've managed to get an hour and a half of video down to around 350 meg or so in 640x480 and watchable fullscreen. I've never had any complants about file size. My audience continues to grow so I'm not seeing a problem if you choose to go big, but offering other options if possible is always a good idea, just dont go crazy with 50 feeds for the same show. A Max of 3 formats seems ideal. Flash,h.264 (ipod) and maybe a windows format WMV file. Rev. Chumley Cult of UHF --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Heath [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was just curious what people thought about the file sizes of their video's or the video's that they subscribe too, download, etc. Do you look at the file size often, does it matter if it's big or not? by big I say over 50 mb. I know some of the size of your video file is dependent on how long your video is, but as we as vloggers start making longer and bigger projects, larger and larger file sizes are going to be a natural by product right? I mean using the Ipod settings at 640X480 in itself can still create a rather large file depending on the length of the video. It seemed in the begining, shorter and smaller was better, but is that changing at all? I mean with the push towards HD, with being able to view content on the TV, etc, it just seems like its all a part of the evolution...or is it? I was just curious as to what you all thought.

Because of the size of the videos being as small as they would be, I'd like to encode them into several formats (Possibly using several accounts on BlipTV in the process if need be). I'm thinking of encoding into the following formats * Quicktime/iTunes/iPod/iPhone MP4 * Windows Media (On Demand HD) * Flash (This will be done by BlipTV and/or other chosen host(s) anyway by default) * Winamp NSV Streaming Video (Maybe, but not terribly likely!) * H.264 (Mainly for cell phones) * 3GP (Only if there's only ONE De Facto standard) * Sony PSP MP4 (Or whatever format it uses) * H.263 AVI (For cell phones NOT compatible with the other formats) * DiVx (In case I need to use Stage 6) My question is this. I've pretty much figured out the other formats (At least I hope), but I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what the standard configuration for H.264 is. What is it? The reason I ask is I'm converting and transcoding my entire collection to these various formats in preparation for the launch of my new video podcast when I get back online from home (The only reason I'm online now is because I just happen to be at a branch of the local library and this message is being sent from here.

[videoblogging] Re: Advice on how to get to 100-250k views a day (quickly)?
It would seem Jason that you already have the platforms to get those kind of numbers. With Veronica's CNET roots and following and her ability to be on big shows like TWIT to plug the show your more set up for quick big number success than pretty much anyone on this group. The only things I can think of that can help is to court the iTunes podcast guys for some front page features, as Rupert said, to try to work something out with Youtube as well. Some other things are to try to get featured on BoingBoing or other large circulation blogs. As far as hosting services getting you that kind of circulation Blip is about as big as they come. Other than Podshow that is, but I'm not to partial to their business practices. If you figure out a sure fire way to get six figure numbers quickly make sure and tell me. I've been going for 2 years and just get 11k or so downloads per episode. Rev.

With 14,000 views in total. That's an average of 150 per film. I figure - what? - half of those have actually watched the video to the end? 25 videos ( a third of them) have less than 100 views in total another 57 videos (almost two thirds) have between 100 and 250 and only 7 have more than 250 - all of these have been featured somewhere, like The End of Pixelodeon, or the Vlog Deathmatch video.

Is getting 100 views on a video after it's been out there for a few months really so bad? Imagine those 100 people in your local bar or in your house! That's quite a lot of people. And then add all your videos together. You've made 50? And they average 100 views in the end? That's 5000 in total!

[videoblogging] Re: Lies, Damned Lies And Statistics
No problem Rupert, I'm all about freedom of information being a proponent of Public Domain. As far as where people find me, it's mostly iTunes. I've been one of the fortunate people that have had their vidcast featured on the frontpage for quite a while. I surged up to over 10,000 when they put on on a full scale button on the top of iTunes. I don't really promote or anything as this is just a hobby and I'm not seeking money in any way, but I was lucky also that they chose to put me in the comedy feature video section for quite a while now as well. I think the only reason I have the numbers I do is that I have a niche that isn't covered by anyone else really. I chose to go long form...ok reay long form as my show is at least 1 hour 30 minutes as I carry full public domain movies with hosted segments. Everyone else is preaching the short form while I went a different direction. It was purely because I love my iPod and wanted movies and such on it. There weren't any at the time so I just did it myself. Rev.

Here's my question and their response: Q: Is there some way with QuickTime to manually export an MPEG-4, H.264 file at 640x480, and set the parameters that ARE AVAILABLE so that the resulting video file matches the low-complexity profile? A: At this time the only way to create a low complexity file that is guaranteed to sync and play on iPod is to use the option available in QuickTime Pro. There are a lot of parameters that are set at the codec level that are not available to the end user to ensure that the files play smoothly on iPod. We hope to resolve this at some point in the future. No surprises there; however my iTunes guy adds: Additional parameter adjustments can be made in Compressor, and the version being released with Final Cut Studio 2 will add new ones. So: anyone with Compressor willing to have a fiddle? Waz from Crash Test Kitchen

[videoblogging] Re: Apple TV and iPod clash
No it was H.264. Here are the settings I used in Videora Videora ipod converter v. 2.11 (make sure you have the iPod converter as they have several different versions) Go to settings make sure the device is iPod (should be default) for simplicity sake select the drop down profile for H.264 VGA 512kbps Stereo/128kbps (this is the level 3 or 640x480 profile) Then go over to Edit profile button to the left. This pops up the edit profile window. Rename this profile so you can tell it apart from the original. Click the video tab at the top Here you can adjust the bitrates and such for the profile. You should leave the H.264 Baseline level 3 (level 1.3 is 320x240) to the right set your resolution to 640 width and 480 height bottom left of the window is ABR or 2 pass (Leave it on ABR) Select your desired bitrate to manipulate file size. Save it and use this profile. I've used these settings and transfered the 640x480 file from itunes to my iPod, but as I said before. I have audio drift problems, you may not depending on your input file. (still working on my problem) Good luck. Rev.

Then if youve got the right res, framerate etc, you'll end up with ipod apple-tv compatible .mp4 files. The Apple TV can also work with h264 main profile, but it wont be ipod compatible if you use that (slightly better quality) profile. Other reasons to do it this way, apart from having control over bitrate and ths filesize, is that quicktime would sometimes make bad decisions about how to resize footage. Michael Verdi talked about this quite a lot on the past, maybeit is better now that theyve gone for alrger resolutions?

HUGE spike in downloads that completely dissapeared in two weeks or so. Might have gained 50 or so new subscribers from it, but nothing compared to the spike. The second feature was well over a year ago when I was put under the Featured Comedy podcast section on itunes. It's a drill down feature, but it was permenent as I've remained there for over a year. It gave me more exposure and has (as far as I can tell) added a very slow upward subscriber growth.

[videoblogging] Moving your video to a new RSS (Libsyn to Blip) any advice?
I've been hosting on libsyn since the begining of my vidcast well over a year ago, but the time to move has come. I've been cross posting my show on Blip.tv to kick the tires and try out their service and I'm really liking it and I now want to move my show over exclusively to their service, BUT I want to do it as seemlessly as possible. Has anyone moved over from libsyn to a new service? Any tips would be appreciated especially from personal expereience. I've created a feedburner feed for my show (havn't activated it yet) and plan on using that for my main RSS feed (to keep from ever having to do this again) and I think Libsyn has a redirect I can use, but I know kinks will arise so I come to you guys for advice. Thanks in advance! Rev Chumley http://www.cultofuhf.com

Yeah, I've got to admit that since I started up my show I've gotten to know some very interesting people and had a blast doing it, as well as having the pleasure of watching other fantastic shows from some talented people.

The technology of video sharing has allowed us to find a voice and an audience that would not have been possible two or three years ago. More importantly, we've met so many wonderful people and learned so much from all of them.

[videoblogging] Re: vlog
I've never used Vlog or vlogging. I produce a video podcast or vidcast if your into shortening things. There isn't a single element of a personal or commerical blog in my work so I didn't see any reason to call it a vlog, but heck its all entertainment to me.

It generates an expectation of merely a multimedia blog. Plus, as an admitted linguaphile, I just hate the word.
