Re: [videoblogging] files
For YouTube I've been using 2 - 4mbps for ages, but recently I've upped myself to 10-20mpbs on short clips and it really does improve things. If one can afford the bandwidth there's no reason not to go even higher - there's a 20GB limit, right? j For my talking head blog I generate 1280x720 MP4 at either 2000Kbps or 2500Kbps average sample rate using Handbrake, using 2 pass encoding if I'm not in a hurry. Uploaded to Youtube. Sometimes I'll use 3000Kbps or a bit higher for slightly higher quality if I think my content deserves it or has more motion content than normal. Dave. Yahoo!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Sony Vegas Movie Studio Editing Question
When I first started on Vegas it took me ages to discover that 'S' for split clip allowed one to cut between separate tracks! I was stuck! After that I've never looked back. The latest Vegas Pros allow combining multiple video tracks into one track that one can run through switching live. Prior to that it was just a question of lining the clips up on separte tracks using sound as described previously, and then using 'S' to split the top clip and them dragging the edges to get the desired cut. A cheat I remeber using to preview both clips at once was to open the lower clip in the pan crop window HTH joly -- --- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast WWWhatsup NYC - http://wwwhatsup.com http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com Secretary - ISOC-NY - http://isoc-ny.org ---

Re: [videoblogging] Questions about setting up a new wordpress video blog
I agree with Dave below -and I think you have a choice to make 1) incorporate html5 into your posts, with a simple fallback to YouTube - thereby losing some YT views 2) just have a separate h264 download link under the YouTube - which will work fine for the iPad etc crew Having messed with html 5 - the latter is my solution - in fact I serve my own lo-fi flash and then offer choices of both youtube and iPod links under - see http://www.isoc-ny.org/p2/?p=777 for an extreme case, as it has ogv, stills, mp3, and ogg too - presumably an iPad user clicking thru to youtube would get served the (best of all choices) html 5 720p h264.. I don't actually bother with podcasting with stuff that's as long form as this, but podpress and feed burner works, and the feedburner subscribe-by-email option is definitely worth exploring As mentioned on this list recently longtail has launched a new player you might want to look at http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/jw-player-for-html5 As far as podcast format goes qtpro's ipod export function defaults to 1.5mpbs 640x480 or 640x360 depending on your aspect ratio. j On Sun, May 30, 2010 at 4:27 AM, David Jones david.jo...@altium.com wrote: On Sun, May 30, 2010 at 4:25 PM, sdorfman.rm si...@yamlike.com wrote: What wordpress plugin(s) would you recommend to accomplish the following?: 1. by default, show the youtube version of a video (i want the numbers boost to times viewed on youtube to help make the videos more popular) You don't need any plug-in to accomplish this, simply post the embedded HTML code for the Youtube clip in your blog post.

I'll chime in on YouTube DMCA is one thing - one can file, and then the recipient can file a counter-notice to get the file put back up, and one has no option except to satrt proceedings. Thus it is not a very effective or economical way to take stuff down Terms Of Use takedowns on content on the other hand are pretty much indefensible. j -- --- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast WWWhatsup NYC - http://wwwhatsup.com http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com Secretary - ISOC-NY - http://isoc-ny.org ---

But even discounting the tech limitations, Im left not quite sure how useful this stuff usually is, is it worth the effort? Sometimes it really feels like its getting in the way, maybe a lot of the time I really just want to consume video in linear fashion and keep interactivity and communication for another part of the site. Looking ahead I wonder how much video might get mixed in with online gaming 3D.

Are all the various ways that people can share different media on the web providing a good foundation and all we need is a nicer way of presenting and interacting with this stuff?

What about stuff like recording live streams for edit/playback later?, what type of gear is needed, typical streaming software etc. How much actual live work would be typical for a full day event? etc I'm assuming that live streams would go live of course, and in-between they would show previously recorded segments?

[videoblogging] Fwd: Videofreex
proto videobloggers.. -- Forwarded message -- From: Thomas Beard informat...@lightindustry.org Date: Fri, Apr 16, 2010 at 12:43 PM Videofreex Curated by Dara Greenwald Tuesday, April 20, 2010 at 7:30pm 177 Livingston Street, Brooklyn Light Industry presents a survey of work by seminal guerrilla television outfit Videofreex, featuring a number of newly restored tapes. The screening will be introduced by Dara Greenwald, who assisted with the acquisition and preservation of this collection by Video Data Bank. --- Videofreex, one of the first video collectives, was founded in 1969 by David Cort, Curtis Ratcliff and Parry Teasdale, after David and Parry met each other, video cameras in hand, at the Woodstock Music Festival. Working out of a loft in lower Manhattan, the group's first major project was producing a live and tape TV presentation for the CBS network, The Now Show, for which they traveled the country, interviewing countercultural figures such as Abbie Hoffman and Black Panther leader Fred Hampton. The group soon grew to ten full-time members--including Chuck Kennedy, Nancy Cain, Skip Blumberg, Davidson Gigliotti, Carol Vontobel, Bart Friedman and Ann Woodward--and produced tapes, installations and multimedia events. The Videofreex trained hundreds of makers in this brand new medium though the group's Media Bus project. In 1971 the Freex moved to a 17-room, former boarding house called Maple Tree Farm in Lanesville, NY, operating one of the earliest media centers. Their innovative programming ranged from artists' tapes and performances to behind-the-scenes coverage of national politics and alternative culture. They also covered their Catskill Mountain hamlet, and in early 1972 they launched the first pirate TV station, Lanesville TV. An exuberant experiment with two-way, interactive broadcasting, it used live phone-ins and stretched cameras to the highway, transmitting whatever the active minds of the Freex coupled with their early video gear could share with their rural viewers. During the decade that the Freex were together, this pioneer video group amassed an archive of 1,500+ raw tapes and edits. - Video Data Bank Titles to be screened include, among others: Fred Hampton – Black Panthers, Chicago, 1969 Fred Hampton - Chant and Demonstration, 1970 Women’s Lib Demonstration NYC, 1970 Davidson’s Jail Tape, 1971 Interview in the Street II, 1971 Trashing and Gassing in Miami, Republican Convention, 1972 Lanesville Overview I, 1972 Woodstock ’69, Tape #24, 1969 Chicago Travelogue: The Weatherman, 1969 Mayday Realtime, 1971 Followed by a discussion with Greenwald and original members of Videofreex.

What I've had, which is annoying, is a vid kiled for 'Terms of Use' just (I guess) because there's a bit of breast in there - a performance artist called 'No Bra'. That's another 3 strikes scenario as far as I can make out, and there's no apparent avenue of appeal. There are plenty of other clips of the same girl including one from me that are still there. In the clip that was taken down she wears a leather jacket. I've seen other racier clips that merely have an 'adult' gateway. Sigh. joly On Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 9:41 PM, John Coffey jimmycrackhead2...@yahoo.com wrote: Well, technology finally caught up and I got a notice from YT about 2 videos I posted over near 2 years ago.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: seminar filming?
My method has been to run a recorder off the board, but also mainly to have a Zoom H2 set on 2 chan surround somewhere fairly central. Then one can run it through the levelator to balance out loud and quiet. The it's just a question of mixing, or cutting between one and the other in post. j On Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 1:38 AM, ratbagradio ratbagra...@gmail.com wrote: I've been involved in a bit of conference coverage primarily using audio recording and workshops are the most difficult challenge of any of the setups. So it's not just capturing the video. If there is a lot of audience participation -- as in a true workshop -- then you have to capture the voices no matter where they are located especially if it's a hand about microphone. So that's lesson one -- if there is a roving mic, plug into the sound system for your audio input. If there is no roving microphone at all your only option is to move to close quarters with every speaker. So maybe a single very active video photographer is the way to go during any interchange. But mic pickup in these events is very hard to do without being a tad disruptive with your presence and I doubt there will be many participants who'll appreciate such proximity of a camera. Another way its done is mic-ed speaker and a floor mic on stand, That was is easy peasy but thats' not very workshoppy. dave riley --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Joly MacFie j...@... wrote: I recently got a flipHD and, while it's not much cop in the low light music things that are my usual stock in hand, it works well in a seminar setting.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: seminar filming?
I recently got a flipHD and, while it's not much cop in the low light music things that are my usual stock in hand, it works well in a seminar setting. I bought a monkeypod and ball head which enables me to be quite flexible with placement. It gives a nice clean 720p See here http://punkcast.com/1704/index.html where you can see it in comparison with my handheld TRV900. And this one just using the flip. http://www.isoc-ny.org/?p=1338 In both cases I recorded audio separately using a zoom h2. The flip holds 2 hours but needs a restart after an hour or so. So, that's my suggestion, get a couple of flips or similar and park the around the place, and use a handheld to get the extra shots. But further points are 1) aren't most webinars live? 2) audio is what really counts - many people listen while reading/ browsing etc 3) in such contexts nobody really minds the occasional clunky transition while one shifts camera. joly On Tue, Feb 23, 2010 at 9:11 PM, Loreta_Vaidas loretabir...@yahoo.com wrote: Thanks David and Richard.

Re: [videoblogging] 2010 the year of the flip?
But this is my point, the flipHD fits in the pocket, costs $150, and all the editing one might need is built in to the software - hey it even has magic movie to make your edit decisions! It's instant videoblogging for the masses! Add-on lenses, plug in microphones, forgeddaboutit! j On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 9:10 PM, David Jones david.jo...@altium.com wrote: 2010/1/12 Bohuš bo...@xnet.com: For what it costs, it's pretty amazing. I will do a video review of it one of these days, especially pitting it against the Flip HD. Both have very pleasing pictures, and both yield video formats that are hard for me ot edit (G). I'm also interested in the Sanyo camera. Can't recall the model # - it's something 2000 I think. It's ability to use external mics and larger lens really interest me. Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD2000 I have the HD1010 which is almost identical in terms of feature set for most practical uses, and a fair bit cheaper. The lens and sensor size are streets ahead of any pocket cam, and it supports add-on lenses.

Re: [videoblogging] Wordpress plugins
You can make people go through somersaults to sign up - it's very configurable as to just how many.. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sabre/ Sabre is an acronym for Simple Anti Bot Registration Engine. It's a set of counter measures against spam registration on your blog. Your visitors are granted permission to register freely on your blog and now you are plagued by fake users automatically created by spammers? Sabre is the solution to stop definitely these robotized visitors! List of available features: 1. Inclusion of a captcha in the registration form 2. Selection of the captcha's complexity 3. Selection of the background colour for the captcha image 4. Inclusion of a math test in the registration form 5. Selection of the math test's complexity 6. Random or fixed choice of the test to run 7. Unobtrusive tests to detect if registration is done by humans or not 8. Registration blocked if Javascript is unsupported by the browser 9. Registration blocked if visitor's IP address is found on ban lists 10. The blog administrator can validate the user registration 11. The user can validate his registration by clicking on a link sent by mail 12. Limited number of days for user confirmation. Without being confirmed within the period of time, the user account is disabled 13. Log on prohibited before user confirmation 14. User is allowed to choose his password when registering on the blog 15. User must agree with a warning text, disclaimer or general policy note when registering 16. User must give an invitation code during registration 17. Main statistics displayed on the blog's dashboard 18. Custom logo on logon/registration screen All these features are activated by parameters. Thus, Sabre is flexible enough and fits the protection policy you define for your blog.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Copyright Music?
I have recently shot two copyright related talks: William Patry : Moral Panics and the Copyright wars http://punkcast.com/1666/index.html David Post : Jefferson's Moose in Cyberspace http://punkcast.com/1671/index.html While in some countries it is accepted that an author has a moral right to ownership of her work, in the United States, thanks mainly to Jefferson, all works belong automatically to the public. However, in the name of progress of science and the useful arts - as an incentive to create - the public gives, for a limited term, the author exclusive right to exploit the work. This is the basis of all copyright and patent legislation. The system has worked quite well up until now, as recreation of any work usually involved a fair degree of capital expenditure, and thus procedures of remuneration were well established. The net obviously changes all that. There are moves for law reform but they will be slow and ungainly. There are two ways (as far as I can see) that the original purpose of copyright, to foment creative activity, can be maintained under the new paradigm. 1) have a cut-off for small time activity, or 2) have a generally accepted method of credit and payments The former is the de facto situation at present. The latter is not beyond conception. Recursive metatagging and public key crypto and micropayments could actually work if implemented. An example might be if your audio/video whatever was tagged with your id, and a key. If someone were to make a derivative work, or even just a copy, their id+key were added, and so on. Commercial layers could be set to aggregate the info and pay off via a central clearing system. Thus authors would not only be incentivised to create but to share also, and copiers and sharers could also receive some portion for their propagation efforts. As is normally the case with peering systems, one's consumption would be offset by one's input to the system Pie in the sky I know, but not beyond hope. joly -- --- Joly MacFie 917 442 8665 Skype:punkcast WWWhatsup NYC - http://wwwhatsup.com http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com --- [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

[videoblogging] New UK Video on Demand regulations
In the context of the recent discussion about the FTC clampdown on blogola and, in particular, the mud being thrown from across the pond at the idea of slippery slopes, I note these new rules soon to come in to force in the UK. http://www.ofcom.org.uk/consult/condocs/vod/ The rules govern offensive content, product placement, and sponsorship. Video-on-demand services from all UK broadcasters will be subject to new rules, in line with European law. 19 December is the deadline for all EU states to introduce these rules Ofcom proposes to rope in the Association for Television On Demand (ATVOD) the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) as watchdogs/enforcers while it will maintain ultimate discretion. While the document states that electronic versions of newspapers, private websites and unmoderated UGC material on sites like YouTube will not be regulated, it also says that its powers may ultimately go beyond services operated by broadcasters. Ofcom says that while the consultation is focused on VoD providers who are also present in the TV, This is not intended to suggest that service providers from outside the existing broadcast sector are less likely to be subject to regulation. Thus BT, Channel4, FilmFlex, Five, ITV, Tiscali, Virgin Media, BBC, IP Vision and the On Demand Group (all the listed members of ATVOD) are going to be given regulatory powers over all the rest of the UK Internet's video publishers, if you like the 'community police' of on demand video in the UK. What the penalties will be incurred for infringing content is not immediately apparent. source: http://www.c21media.net/news/detail.asp?area=1article=51853 joly -- --- Joly MacFie 917 442 8665 Skype:punkcast WWWhatsup NYC - http://wwwhatsup.com http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com ---
