[videoblogging] Working Stiff - new indie movie vlog/cast
Hi, People on this group have asked about indie filmmakers and their work for a while now. After a lot of prepping and some generous technical help from people in this group, I'm ready to start. I'm showing my independent movie, Working Stiff, a few minutes each weekday, online. It's feature-length, so showing it should last about a month. There are two venues for the movie: I'm using Brightcove for one. I'm sure some people here know about these guys. Steve Garfield interviewed Jeremy Allaire a while ago. Brightcove has a nifty interface and right now the service is free. They use Flash. (I did two pass conversion and it looks really good.) It's a great service and their support has been first-rate. I'm also doing a downloadable QT/iPod version. I may do a writer-director's vlog in the future where I blog about the experience of making the movie (heaven and hell, in unequal measures) what to do, what NOT to do, what I wish I knew before I started, that sort of thing. Depends if people are interested and if I can find the time. Anyway, please feel free to leave comments at the blog-like I have to prompt THIS group-- ;-) Hope you like it. Greg QT/download blog is at http://projectworkingstiff.com/WorkingStiffBlog/nfblog/ Main page/Brightcove player is at: http://projectworkingstiff.com They're linked together so you can go back and forth if you like.

[videoblogging] Full window alternative to Freevlog popup maker?
I know Michael Verdi and others solved the active-x/unprogressive download problem with their popup maker (yay Freevlog), but is there a version that opens up in a new full-sized window rather than a sized popup?

[videoblogging] Re: Full window alternative to Freevlog popup maker?
Sorry, I should have been clearer.
I want to avoid displaying the active-x box that opens in Internet
Explorer when I post a video.
And I want the QuickTime movie to start playing as soon as it
can--while it is still downloading--rather than delaying until it is
fully downloaded before it plays.
The Freevlog popup maker does that very well for non-programmers like
myself. But the movie opens up in a popup window that sits in the
corner of the currrent window. I would like to open up a new,
full-sized window entirely.

Popping off new windows is done w/ _javascript_...
window.open('url to open','window name','attribute1,attribute2');
More info here...

The option of sized vs. full could be done with 2 text/graphic links
or a form (select) dropdown that submits on change rather then needed
a submit button.

No, I'm trying to create a website/blog and I want to add my videos to
it. When people come to my site and click on my videos, I want the
videos to:
1.) start playing before they have downloaded fully.
2.) play without site visitor having to click on that box that says
Click to run an Active X control on this webpage. Verdi describes
the problem in his tutorial.
3.) play in a completely new window at full size, not a popup.
Freevlog is fine as far as I know.
And BTW I do have Firefox, but 70% of the rest of the country, people
whom I hope will visit my website, will be using IE.

[videoblogging] Re: Are you still using 3ivx withQuickTime?
Thanks for the responses, Michael and Pete. I wonder, if you convert the original DV file to square pixels, will that fix the squishing problem on the iPod? --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Michael Verdi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm still using 3ivx for a couple of reasons. As Pete mentioned that H.264doesn't work well with older machines - this is very true. Also if you want to make an iPod compatible file and use H.264 the only way to do it is with QuickTime's save for iPod feature which will squish your video if you are starting with DV footage. Apple recently did something that makes the old workaround for creating an mp4 file with H.264 not work anymore (you can still make the files but they will no longer transfer to the iPod). So for iPod compatiblility that leaves Apples's mpeg4 or 3ivx and 3ivx is much better quality. 3ivx costs $20 (though there is nothing to prevent you from using it without paying). You don't need QT Pro to use it. If you're on a PC and want iPod compatible files you'll also need access to the AAC audio codec which you can only get via QuickTime Pro. -Verdi On 3/27/06, Pete Prodoehl [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: gmjoyce_y wrote: Which codec are you all using when creating Quicktime movies for the web?

I mean if you want to wait until june to see if Apple comes out with something new that probably wouldn't be a bad idea. One more thing: the iPods seem to keep more value than the average consumer product. I was able to sell my year old 4th gen ipod for $200 on ebay which made it posible to buy my current $300 iPod video (and I think it works really well BTW).

Bill, I had been trying to figure out how to do MPEG4 with MP3 audio for a looong time, until I learned of this statemment on Google video: Please keep in mind that we also support other digital formats such as QuickTime, or Windows Media. Here's the full link: http://video.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=26562 So I decided to use Windows Media Encoder, which I found does a very nice job and was easy to use. Now the problem is that Google is not taking any more videos for its pay-to-download store, which is what some of us indie filmmakers have been waiting for. Anywone know when--or if--they're starting that up again? --Greg http://www.workingstiff.org --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Bill Streeter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Speaking of Google Video, they seemed to have added quite a few new features including the ability to download PSP and iPod compatible formats. No rss feeds yet though. Now this has come up before, if one wants to submit video to google you have to convert your vid into one of their prefered formats. If you are a Mac user the easiest would be to submit a MOV file. But the problem is that they want your audio to be encoded as MP3. At first I thought that this wouldn't be a problem since Quicktime supports this. Well I was wrong. Quicktime no longer supports MP3 audio encoding. So I looked around for a solution. I discovered a LAME encoder (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22571) for QuickTime so I thought, great! this should work. I followed the instructions by installing the plugin in QuickTime and the framework in the correct place and no luck. Still no MP3 export support. Anyone else have this issue?

Very good post, Richard. Nicely balanced. I know you're not a lawyer but can you (or anyone else who wants to take a crack at it) tell me if I've got this right? Saturday Night Live or The Daily Show can show clips from TV shows because they're commending on or parodying the content of those clips. So comment or satire makes these copyrighted clips fair game, is that right? And if SNL and Jon Stewart can do it, can't vloggers do likewise?

Andreas pointed to other posts on the legalities and how he'd recommend that all videobloggers get educated on how rights management works. Absolutely. Learn what it is, and what it means for you. What hasn't been mentioned this time around, is why copyrights exist, apart from the money. Don't assume that by using a work, you are promoting or advertising that work. Copyright is not about making money, it is about retaining control over your work, and having the legal right to make decisions on where and how your work is used. What one person thinks is a promotion of a work, the original artist may see as slander, not befitting of the work, or against the principles of the artist, such as being used in a porn video podcast for example. This is why copyrights typically require you to get permission from the owner, although there are limited exceptions through the fair use provisions of the copyright act, which was created to allow educational, parody or reference (news reporting for example) use. Copyrights protect our culture, and they do that by allowing artists to take control of their work. This also allows them to charge money for the use of their work, in effect sponsoring them to create even more work, and subsequently progressing our culture even further. Unfortunately however, the system has become abused [RIAA/MPAA rant here], but people like Lawrence Lessig and Creative Commons are trying to fix it. You should also visit their site, and read about what they're trying to do to protect culture and your rights. http://creativecommons.org/ Rights are good for you.

So what's the solution? Use AAC and hope Google accepts it? Jim Vinson suggested Divx, because they are teaming up with Google, but I can't find any official word from Google yet that you can upload Divx-formatted files. Maybe Google plans to take your video and encode it with Divx themselves? BTW, I downloaded the Divx encoder free trial, did a simple drag-and-drop of my .avi file onto the Divx converter -- no messing with dozens of settings, no arcane language -- and the result was really, REALLY good.

Yes, I'm also curious about this. Can one copy, say, a 30-second clip off the news or a TV show, then show it and comment on it on one's vlog? Is that considered Fair Use? And yes, I know, you're not lawyers ;-) and no, I don't want to start another flame war about copyright.
