[videoblogging] rchive.org now has an easy upload page
From Dean at Miro: http://www.getmiro.com/blog/2008/07/uploading-to-archiveorg-just-got-easy/ I'd like to spread this news in circles where people need free, easy, and non-commercial hosting for media. Now we just need Archive to add RSS, so stuff hosted there will aggregate nicely For the record: Ourmedia is a front end of archive.org.and has RSS feeds. Blip also will cross-upload videos to archive.org as well. But it's good to see the Archive improve. Just click the upload button in the upper right corner and give it a whirl.

Also, they have started to transcode to h.264 (as well as flv) since about a month or two ago. With their new player setup, they auto-select flv or mp4 video based on viewer's browser capabilities. It also displays twice the old size. For example, they will select the a flash player with the h.264 media if you have a recent enough flash plugin as has been discussed about here in recent threads by verdi and others. Thanks to Tracey and JD for passing on this info. Here's an updated fun example Tracey pointed out that I'd almost forgotten about http://www.archive.org/details/commute markus [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Thanks to Tracey and JD for passing on this info. glad to see that archive.org is improving step by step. ive been feeling lately that larger and better quality videos online will really help make web video more of a respected medium. once the bad quality argument is put to restthen it's just about content.
