[videoblogging] checking in after 2 years away + daughter's blog

[cooper3acd]

Hey all,

I haven't been around for a while, but thought I'd check in after
coming to the realization that my 10 year old daughter has become a
vlogger.

I got my kids their names as domains for Christmas and my daughter
decided she wanted a wordpress blog on hers so she could post videos
of our new puppy (havanese - great small dog breed btw) and her
interactions with our crusty orange cat.

Have a look if you're an animal lover - they are pretty funny:
www.kayla-cooper.com

btw - great to hear that the xacti is much loved - I've been thinking
about getting the new waterproof one. Has anyone used it extensively
underwater?

Cheers,
Rob

[videoblogging] Re: Jeff Pulver

[cooper3acd]

Just to be clear, this is a contest with the goal of promoting 
Network 2.

It's absolutely awesome that you're putting your promo dollars back 
into the community, but the part where it says you have to mention 
Network 2 makes it clear that you are doing a Promo for your company 
and not a Public Service to the online video community.

Nobody's going to fault you for promoting your company, you just need 
to be up front that you're looking to "spread the word about online 
tv and get some exposure for Network 2."

Again, I applaud your choice to do this, but would recommend a more 
open expression of your intent and maybe some subtle changes to your 
presentation of contests like this so you are met with support rather 
than criticism.

Cheers,
Rob

PS Feel free to contact me off-list if I'm not making any sense or if 
you feel like a fairly unbiased opinion of why you guys (who I 
believe are a responsible company) seem to get into some hot water in 
this group.

[videoblogging] Re: MyHeavy.com Disregarding Vlogger CC Licenses

[cooper3acd]

How it works in the courts...

I did a bit of research as to how it works in the courts.

There are 2 main parts:
1) Did they violate someone's copyright? (YES in this case)
2) Were there damages to the copyright holder?

If the 2 conditions are met, the court then decides an "appropriate" 
penalty/award. The award has a lot to do with the damages that can be 
substantiated, as well as the original intent (for instance, was it 
malicious or inadvertant).

Of course, IANAL, but thought I'd throw this into the fray.

BTW Great work Mike!

Hey Matt,

Thanks I will let you know.

Also, I think you'd be surprised at the depth and security within 
the technology. We had 2+ years in the p2p photo sharing space 
before making the move to video and with over 100,000 downloads have 
never had a reported security issue.

Rob

[videoblogging] PC People (warning: relevant product plug) – Not exactly vlogging but

[cooper3acd]

Hey all, the company I work at has just released a new version of 
our software for creating/broadcasting video web sites right from 
your desktop. Just for PCs at the moment but we have a working Mac 
prototype and will hopefully have something for external 
distribution soon.

Anyhow, it's not exactly vlogging software but it makes it very, 
very easy for users to create and host a video web site right from 
their own computer. It takes care of the optimization, transcoding, 
etc and turns your PC into a server of your video, photo and 
audio/podcast content. 

We are currently distributing for free. We're going to be adding 
some hosted support in the future so it won't require an always-on 
connection. BTW, up-pipe limitations and firewall issues are handled 
quite nicely with some smart caching/proxying on the network end.

If you're interested, check it out at www.pixpo.com. 

I'd love to hear any feedback. Like I mentioned, it's not exactly 
vlogging software at this point, but it may morph more in that 
direction as the product matures (more room for text, comments + 
better organization). 

In the meantime, have a look at my personal page (being served from 
my laptop here at work):
http://liveweb.pixpo.com/robc-work/index.htm 

Definitely check out the Loading Ready Run "channel." It's done by 
some local college guys who have been doing a video a week for a 
year now:
http://liveweb.pixpo.com/loadingreadyrun/index.html 

Hopefully this isn't overly "commercial" (hey we're giving it away 
at the moment). I've been on the list for almost a year now and I'm 
thinking this meets a standard of relevance that it's ok that I post 
about it (once!).

Along these lines, anyone got tips on converting MPEG-2 to iPod (or 
even just a format iTunes will recognize properly).

This is on a PC (free or cheap solutions preferred).

If your primary use for it is video, definitely wait.

I love my 5g ipod, but the video feature is indeed not great except 
as a little added bonus to the music capabilities (and for amazing

[videoblogging] Re: can someone PLEASE tell me the right format to use?

[cooper3acd]

Dude, you're taking a bit of a harsh line with 
this "unsophisticated" group that actually happens to have most of 
the pre-eminent experts (who have always proven happy to help) in 
the field as members.

I understand your frustration, but there are no easy answers here. 
Flash is the closest thing to a "universal" format, but many higher 
end producers have issues with its quality, etc (I am definitely not 
one of these higher end producers).

Next best thing is probably to produce alternate versions for mac 
(mov) and pc (wmv) if streaming is what you're after. There are 
some "standard" settings for both that are very stable on each 
respective platform. 

For info on the standard settings, try searching the archives in 
this group, visiting freevlog, or checking out

[videoblogging] Best PC software for mpeg 4 480 pixel resolution on the iPod

[cooper3acd]

Hey, I hope this hasn't been covered already, but anyone got a 
suggestion on the best PC software to use to painlessly get fairly 
long videos (movies and or shows I own) onto the iPod at max 
resolutions (specs say up to 480 x 480 as mpeg 4) for viewing on the 
TV?

I just won a 30gb ipod - it won't replace my nano for music, but I'm 
thinking it will be awesome as an easy way to transport shows/movies 
and I want to get them at a resolution that will be acceptable for 
regular tv viewing.

thanks,
Rob

If you like machinima, check out

I/we just launched it and it has lot's of worksafe (and a few not

Feel free to "right-click" on any of these wmvs and download them 
(save target as...) locally and try them out on the Vision:M (btw - 
let us know how the Vision works out for you).

Sorry to the mac crowd on the wmv's - we're looking to add mac 
support at some point, although as the software we will be promoting 
on the site is currently (but not forever!) pc only, it's not an 
urgent priority.

We're taking the high road on this site and contacting creators for 
permission and recruiting some new creators that aren't widely 
published.

[videoblogging] Re: Xacti HD1 NYTimes review

[cooper3acd]

Bitrate/quality might be an issue (although I long for one too)...

Here's an article that I wrote in January for a photo newsletter for 
www.pixpo.com (shameless plug) that talks gently about some of its 
shortcomings (further shameless plug - we'll have a very cool pc/mac 
video broadcasting product later in the year)...

, here's the aritcle:

Looking for a high performance hybrid camera?

Sanyo recently announced their combination VPC-HD1 5mp still 
camera/high definition camcorder that records to SD cards for a 
startlingly low $800. This camera is sleek and compact and is the 
hottest ticket on many a high-tech wish-list right now.
So, what's the catch? Well, it doesn't come with an SD card, but the 
ones that come in the box with new cameras are typically so small 
that they're useless anyhow. The only other catch is that it writes 
to MPEG4 at a 9 Megabit per second data rate - most current HD (1280 
x 720) cameras write to MPEG2 at 20 Megabit per seconds or higher. 

So, given this bitrate issue, is the camera still the incredible 
value it appears to be? Well, unfortunately we can't answer that 
just yet as the VPC-HD1 won't be available until March. Our advice 
at this point is to sit on that wallet and wait to read a few user 
reviews before making your move. 

In the meantime, here's what a couple of alternatives look like:

A Step Up?
Sony Handycam HDR-HC1
This Sony is not quite as sleek as the Sanyo, writes to MiniDV tapes 
instead of SD cards and has significantly lower stills resolution 
with 2.8 megapixel photo capture. 

Nonetheless, this "entry level" HD cam looks great from a video 
perspective. This Sony almost triples the data rate of the Sanyo, 
writing at 25 megabits per second to MPEG2. 

With this in mind, the Sony is worth looking at if top quality video 
is your top, although the $1800 price tag pushes it a bit past the 
budget of many hobbyists.

Low Cost Substitute?
Pentax Optio MX4
If you want a hybrid camera with video features such as zoom being 
enabled while recording, a camera like the MX4 might be worth 
considering. 

At a street price of around $300 this camera has quite a bit of bang 
for the buck. That said, if you are serious about stills OR video, 
this may not deliver what you're looking for. While it is indeed a 
fun camera, the responsiveness and focusing of this camera are 
nowhere near what you'll find in the Sony or Sanyo.

So good luck with your shopping. If you have your own opinion on the 
best choice for a hybrid, please e-mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 
you might just find your input included in our next newsletter.

[videoblogging] Re: stickam

[cooper3acd]

Alexa is daily reach per million people on the web, as I understand 
it. They also give you an overall rank as to your absolute 
popularity (as measured in traffic to your domain) on the web.

They measure traffic through certain gateways on the web, so 
measurements may not be entirely accurate, especially for smaller 
sites with certain regional followings.

However, as a means of looking at longer term trends and comparisons 
between sites/domains, they are the best tracking there is.

In the case of YouTube, they have done an amazing job of getting 
reach, although the figures are skewed somewhat as all the video 
clips that are hosted by them that play at myspace, etc are all 
counted as traffic 'cause they hit their domain in order to play.

This was made clear when MySpace blocked video hosted at YouTube - 
YouTube's traffic rankings immediately dipped.

Quoted figures around YouTube suggest they are getting 1-2 mm unique 
viewers per month to the Site, which is impressive, although the 
Alexa figures would suggest the traffic is even higher (because of 
the hosted video traffic).

What will be even more interesting will be to see if YouTube can 
turn all this traffic into moneymoneymoneymoney. They must have a 
plan for this and it will be exciting to see it emerge.

[videoblogging] Re: Has RB Started A Trend In WebVideo Advertising?

[cooper3acd]

Bottom line is they have a good "product" and it will continue to 
work - just a question of "to what level."

They may have a hard time matching the size of the bids next time 
around, but the bottom line is the that the long-term success will 
end up being commensurate to the value received.

RB is so much at the forefront right now that they definitely have a 
viable business model. I think the key will be finding 
complementary, relevant advertisers (which did not necessarily seem 
to be the case with the bidders). 

If they find the right advertisers (open-minded, progressive, with 
a  complementary product or service), the advertisers will get huge 
value and everything will roll along smoothly.

Congrats RB - Rock on... (80's speak)

[videoblogging] Re: Sponsorships?

[cooper3acd]

Wow - that's awesome!

I will go out on a limb here and say that you are getting those kind 
of cpms because you're so current and "it" in regards to online 
video ("it" in a very good way).

You have good viewership and as a leader of this movement there are 
positive branding implications for companies that sponsor you that 
go far beyond simple cpm value. Those cpm numbers are simply not 
achievable for publishers who do not have your current positioning, 
product and reach.

Of course, your challenge is to maintain this value (and to maintain 
your cutting edge profile) as you grow and move forwards. 

Cheers,
Rob

[videoblogging] Re: Sponsorships?

[cooper3acd]

Having made some significant cpm buys (my biggest buy was 40,000,000 
impressions over 5 weeks) and having also also created smaller sites 
and gotten ads onto them, I can comment that $25 is an achievable 
cpm but is not likely to happen until you've got a targetted, 
focussed demographic (i.e. male 18-34 tech enthusiasts), in a 
specific region (i.e. Europe OR USA OR Japan - few buyers buy "cross-
region", even international companies). 

The catch 22 here is that you need at least 500,000-1,000,000 
available ad impressions per month to get the attention of large 
advertisers - you can get smaller advertisers if you have less 
impressions, but they are unlikely to have video ads. The big 
advertisers consider it not worth their while unles

I recently read that engadget was selling banners at around $3 - 
it's likely that this range of cpm is more like what is available 
out there for smaller publishers like most vloggers. Also, if you 
are relying on the major ad networks (i.e. Fastclick), you are more 
likely to be looking at cpms of under $1.

There are a few challenges ahead for vloggers and indy-type-folk to 
monetize their content in any kind of meaningful way.

Anyhow, just my $.02. If someone can prove me wrong, please do! It 
would make my job a lot easier.

Cheers,
Rob

[videoblogging] Re: Yahoo Wants To Know Everywhere You Go!

[cooper3acd]

So, just to play devil's advocate...

They provide free services, largely monetized through ads. Obviously 
a lot of people are ok with this (for instance, everyone in this 
free group).

Then, they collect behavioral data so that ultimately they can be 
able to provide more relevant, targetted ads, improving their roi 
and the users overall experience (this group is not a good example 
of targetting as only the lower end, non-targetted ad network ad 
inventory shows up in group areas). 

They do not share this information with anyone outside yahoo.

So, other than the fact it's slightly creepy to think that they know 
that much about you, what's so evil about that?

[videoblogging] Re: Embedding videos on external sites?

[cooper3acd]

If it's going on a mainstream resort site, it's doubtful they'll 
want to use quicktime (despite it's relative superiority)

Just a thought...

Cheers,
Rob

PS Worrying about rev-sharing on ads won't be worth the effort - 
just tell them you need a link to your site. I think you can do it 
in a wmv as well (if you end up going there).

[videoblogging] Re: Revver

[cooper3acd]

I was checking them out the other day - I believe the split is 50/50.

The concept is not bad, although so far I'm not seeing the relevance 
between the content and the ads. I saw a video of two guys beating 
each other up, followed by an ad for stylish backpacks. I'm guessing 
they will run into some issues along those fronts.

Also, there was a lot of content on their site that had been 
uploaded by people other than the creators, which seems wrong.

It's interesting, because sites like ifilm put ads around videos 
that they don't own and that I don't have a problem with that 
(because they at least provide the service/bandwidth for the vids). 
However, in this case, these people that are uploading others' 
videos play no part in the value equation - they are not creating 
content nor hosting content, simply injecting themselves in the 
middle of the process.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Rob

PS In the interests of disclosure, I should mention that I work for 
a software company (PiXPO) that has developed some cool video 
technology and has a large network of video viewers. My interest in 
this topic is by no means unbiased.

(btw - we will have a new website next week that will be way simpler 
and will make it much more clear what we're all about).

[videoblogging] Re: Testing Google to Yahoo, part deux

[cooper3acd]

I've got 100 "invites" available within my gmail account (I'm not 
sure if everyone does - I've sent a couple dozen in the past).

If anyone needs an invite, send me a note with your e-mail address 
and I'll send you a Gmail invite and you can grab an account.

I'm grooving on gmail. I use it for all my personal e-mail now - I 
just have my legacy accounts forward to it.

[videoblogging] Re: Blogger for Microsoft Word

[cooper3acd]

A word on pasting from Word - pon't do it! Word uses some ugly, ugly 
tags that will f.. up just about anything else - for instance if you 
paste Word text into dreamweaver you risk having a TON of garbage 
code inserted.

If you need to use word, paste it into a text editor first (I like 
Edit Plus, which is shareware, so you can download it free for the 
PC), then paste the copy from the text editor into your other 
program. A pain, I know, but it will save you a ton of grief.

Rob

[videoblogging] Video/Photo Contest

[cooper3acd]

Hey All, 

I just wanted to let you know that I'm currently running a 
photo/video contest for the company I work for (PiXPO). As our 
software is newly released and we've just started our communications 
program, there are actually pretty good odds of winning (not many 
entries so far). 

The software itself is pretty cool - not as a replacement for 
vlogging tools but as a supplement for private sharing. It basically 
allows easy p2p sharing of personal videos and photo (PC magazine's 
2005 Editor's Choice for "best photo-sharing software"). You can 
create albums with vids/photos and then share/stream them privately 
with friends/groups or publicly on the network - no uploads.

Anyhow, back to the contest - first place is a $250 Amazon Gift 
Certificate, 2nd place is a $100 certificate. In terms of "use," we 
don't want ownership of anyone's stuff, although we do ask for the 
right to display entries as we see fit.

A "sorry" goes out to the many Mac users in the group - we hope to 
have something for Mac users early next year, but currently do not. 
As you need to load up the software client to enter, I'm afraid 
you're out of luck unless you are subjected to a PC at work that you 
can use or can bug a friend with one to help. Also, in hindsight I 
think next time around with one of these contests I'll create an 
alternate way to enter, although unfortunately I didn't think of 
that before I published the rules (and I can't change them after the 
fact).

To get a copy of our software (which you need to enter), simply 
download at www.pixpo.com (btw, I know the site needs some work!).

Hopefully this message is not too commercial in nature (I'm sure 
I'll hear about it if it is ;-)

Here are the complete contest details:

Fame, Glory & Prizes: 
Summer Sizzle Photo Contest
Got the definitive summer shot or a super-cool summer video clip? 
Enter them in our Summer Sizzle Photo Contest and you could be on 
your way to fame, glory and prizes.

Win a new compact digicam. No, win a new tripod. Nope, how about 
some huge memory cards? We're letting you decide what you win by 
awarding Amazon gift certificates and letting you pick what the heck 
you want. First prize takes a $250 Amazon gift certificate and 
second prize wins a $100 certificate. 

Entering is easy:

Add a public album with your entry or entries (up to 5 photos/videos 
allowed for submission). 
Add "summersizzle" as a contact in your contacts tab (be sure 
to "uncheck" the "currently online" box when you add the contact as 
summersizzle may be offline). 
"Share" your album with "summersizzle". 
The rules:
The rules are pretty simple. Enter by August 31, 2005. All 
submissions must be taken by yourself and be your own property. The 
photo or video clip (max. 1 minute) that best captures the Summer 
Sizzle theme will be awarded a $250 (USD) Amazon gift certificate. 
The runner up will receive a $100 certificate. 

You retain ownership of your entry(s), although by entering you 
grant us the right to display your entry(s) and name on our website 
and within our network, newsletters and product (hey, that's 
the "fame" part). Bribery is encouraged although it will have no 
impact on the outcome of the contest. 

Check out "The Hub" (our great new content feature within PiXPO 2.0) 
for regular updates and you might just see your own entry in all its 
glory. We'll be displaying some of the notable entries throughout 
the contest - maybe even after the contest if they're really 
notable).

[videoblogging] Re: Spam from Veoh?

[cooper3acd]

Hey Dimitry, 

I got the e-mail too and definitely did not sign up. I don't mind as 
I'm actually happy enough to get it, although what I received was 
clearly a form letter and not a personal letter (and, being 
unsolicited), which makes it illegal under CAN-SPAM.

I don't think this was intentionally evil or anything, but rather 
just someone in your organization who clearly has no clue about the 
finer points of spam laws.

You probably want to get some policies in place pretty quickly or 
you'll have a pretty big liability on your hands.

Cheers,
Rob

P.S. I've been pretty familiar with e-mail guidelines in the past - 
you're welcome to contact me off-list if you like.

[videoblogging] Re: Money Talk

[cooper3acd]

My (biased) .02:

By allowing a certain amount of biz talk within the group, the group 
has the opportunity to help mold the future of some of the 
businesses (at least the ones that have their ears open).

Otherwise it does become truly an us/them situation.

BTW there will always be some "business" people who try to get short 
term benefit and "work" a group without thought for the group. 
Luckily, I think most of the "business" people who are in this group 
are here because they enjoy it (I've gotten an education in this 
group in the last month I could not have gotten anywhere else and 
enjoyed every minute of it). The people who enjoy it and want to 
participate will contribute and stick around. The ones who want a 
fast buck (they will be pretty obvious when they appear) will 
quickly lose interest in the group when they realize there is no 
fast payoff.

Cheers,
Rob

[videoblogging] Re: Veoh Networks Announces Financing - Get ready to upload your video

[cooper3acd]

Jay asked: what is the difference between what youre offering and me 
having my own videoblog with a feed?

Other than the hard/soft discussion (softcore hardvlog anyone?), it 
sounds like there is one BIG difference:
<>"Veoh utilizes a proprietary, secure P2P 
network that helps prevent
piracy of content, and makes sure all video content is properly
categorized, of TV-grade quality and always available." 

Basically, I'm guessing they are likely counting on some sort of 
torrenting technology to mitigate the bandwidth costs. My guess 
would be that they would supply some bandwidth to start in order to 
seed the network but are likely looking for the network to support 
itself in terms of bandwidth. If this is right, and they succeed, it 
would be a beautiful thing (very fast downloads, low overhead, etc).

I guess we'll get to see as things unfold.

BTW I was fine with the press release.

Cheers,
Rob
http://robvlog.blogspot.com/ 
(don't go there - I haven't added content in almost a month, 
although I've been shooting lots).

P.S. On the disclosure note, I work for a company (PiXPO) that has 
some revolutionary P2P photo sharing technology. We've basically 
been a startup R&D company for about 2 years and are now getting 
focussed on the business side (which is what I work on). We're on 
the verge of launching P2P personal video sharing/streaming. 

In terms of the vlogosphere, this would not be a "core" app, but I 
think one that will grow to be an additional tool. In the meantime, 
it will be the only easy (dead easy) way for the millions of digicam 
owners to share vid with friends and family. 

The only very sad note is that we have nothing for the mac yet :-( 
I'm hoping that will be taken care of by early next year - we'll see 
how it goes.
