 Training Series
 We have wanted to create a for profit DVD on discdog training for
 some time. I am wondering what you all think about the internet
 delivered video alternatives to that. Up 'til now, we have been
 nibbling around the edges, trying to give people enough to pique
 their interest and give them some skills, but holding back the
 serious knowledge and thoughtful production.

 Any comments about how to deliver video training for profit,
 conceptually, in this medium would be greatly appreciated. I think it
 can be done, but don't have the knowledge nor the time to ensure
 quality and/or efficiency. Dog training's my business and we're
 pretty good. I wouldn't want to screw that up.

 You Tube

 I am experimenting with You Tube, as their numbers seem to be better
 - more views.

 I really don't like it too much, as I think the quality is crap and I
 don't like the branded player. I'll take blip any day.

 Like some of the responses already, I want to try to use it to drive
 people to my other sites.

 Drupal

 Does anyone work on Drupal? How does it handle video? Has it gotten
 any more user friendly, or is it still a pro-sumer kind of CMS? I've
 worked on it from an admin standpoint before (2 years ago) and it
 just seemed a bit too techy. Is there GUI admin? I guess I could just
 install a copy again, but I figured I would ask you all and get all
 the answers at once.

 Mahalos
 I also wanted to thank you all for keeping me posted on what's up. I
 buried the list into a special folder that I never check any more on
 my machine. I've been working on my girlfriends iBook and totally
 realized what I had been missing. Posting all kinds of vids these

 Thanks for all your geekly wisdom.

That's a very well done and informative article.  The new MacBook Pros don't 
support P2 
cards, although you can buy an external adapter to connect them via USB.  The 
older ones 
have the correct slot for this application.

That particular shoot required a lot of movement and simultaneous cameras 
rolling, so it 
should have been called How to shoot a network TV pilot with SEVERAL 
HVX-200s.  If it 
had been a one-camera shoot without much movement, 2. Shoot Directly To 
Laptop 
would have been the way to go:

An alternative to shooting to P2 cards is to shoot directly into a computer. 
Several 
programs on both PCs and Macs support live capture to HD.

Pluses - Shooting times are only limited by the hard drive capacity you have 
connected to 
your computer. You can also use your laptop's display as a sort of lower end 
monitoring 
system as you shoot and capture.

Minuses - Size, weight and hassle. Basically, shooting to a laptop ties the 
HVX-200 to the 
computer via a Firewire cable. Extra hassle in lugging, setting up and breaking 
down a 
laptop, cables and drives. Reliability is questionable, computers lock-up and 
crash, P2 
cards don't. No time code is recorded to each individual clip so all clips with 
begin at 
00:00:00:00 time code. Shooting handheld or Steadicam while tethered to a 
laptop is 
difficult to impossible. Laptop capture does not support native frame rates so 
storage 
capacities per GB are lower and variable frame rates are not possible.

Also, the reason they needed to shoot this in HD is that they were working with 
people 
that already had their deal set up:

The project was to be produced for the studio in conjunction with a huge 
production 
company owned by an A-list feature film director who you have definitely heard 
of. That's 
all I can tell you. It was definitely big league stuff. The producer for the 
project and 
director/writer were already attached as they had a development deal with the 
studio 
although they had more feature film experience than television experience.

Under normal circumstances, the point of a pilot is the content, and it's 
used to shop the 
IDEA of the piece, not the look of the piece.  This is because A) they're 
normally done by 
production companies that don't have the extensive connections available to the 
writer of 
this article, and they aren't trying to spend a lot of money taking this shot 
in the dark of 
trying to sell this idea, and B) once they sell it, they're not going to be 
responsible for 
shooting it anyway, so there's no need to demonstrate their technical 
capabilities.

Well-lit DVcam or even MiniDV is all you need to get your point across making a 
pilot.  If 
you don't have to run around a lot for the shoot, record straight to your 
laptop... the only 
downside being, as they mentioned, that you will have the same timecode on 
every clip... 
which doesn't matter, because they'll all have separate clip names, and you can 
modify the 
timecode in FCP anyway.  HDV is popular now also.

As far as videoblogging's concerned, the Nokia N93 apparently shoots 640 x 480 
resolution and 30 frames a second.  MiniDV = 720 x 480 resolution and 29.97 
frames a 
second.  For that, just get a camera-phone and several mini-SD cards and make 
sure you 
shoot outside in the sunlight and go shop your demo. :D

2006-12-07 Thread khyrosfinalcut

I feel like some of the trends that have made new media appealing
thusfar, particularly the sort of monitor as mirror effect I talked
about in my response to Fred Graver http://focus.blip.tv/file/86145 
where people can see themselves in the show might be hard for legacy
media to embrace.

OTOH, when you're making a play for the masses, how much does street
cred or lack thereof in a very fringey industry matter?

If we draw another parallel to film, one wonders...are we going to have
fewer and fewer truly independent productions and see more Warner
Independent style Internet TV programs?

I realize that the studio system is good at funneling resources to and
promoting talented people, but I think there's a real case for the
amateurs here due to:

A) sheer numbers that have not been duplicated before in any of the
previous revolutions they describe
B) the continuing death of distance that continues to grow niche
markets.

Thanks for posting this, I have been wondering in my head for a little
while, What happens when what we're calling today 'New Media' isn't
really new anymore? At the moment, places like  Network2
http://network2.tv/  aren't carrying much that doesn't come from
people outside a studio, but we will see how the pendulum swings.

RE: [videoblogging] Re: Al online viewing booms, the amateurs give way to big media

2006-12-07 Thread Mike Hudack
This may be a weird parallel to make, but here it is anyway.  My father
is a great fan of the history of the Church and the Middle Ages.  That
is to say he reads everything he can on the subject.  What follows is
mostly my understanding of history that's been funneled to me mostly
second-hand through my father.  So I may not be exactly correct on all
points, but I believe the broad strokes to be accurate.  If you're more
knowledgeable on these subjects than I am please step in and correct me.

During the Middle Ages literacy itself, and writing in particular, was
essentially an ecclesiastical monopoly.  This is to say that only men of
the cloth knew how to read and write.  This is why the great works of
this age were generally written by scribes who also happened to be
members of holy orders.

This monopoly was in place for a number of reasons, but perhaps the most
interesting is that it suited the status quo and the powers that were at
the time -- the Church.  Not to put too fine a point on it, but this
monopoly allowed the Church to tell peasants that the Bible said just
about anything that suited them.   There was no way to verify their
accounts.  You can find parallels in the American south of 150 years
ago, I suppose.

Anyway, back to the point: At some point reading and writing --
literacy, broadly defined -- was democratized.  Gutenberg invented the
printing press.  So on and so forth.  

As an observer at that time you could have taken the view that a major
revolution (reformation?) was under way and that the world of letters
would never be the same.  You could have observed these developments and
believed that the masses would read and write, that one day anyone could
write a book and get published, that the Church and the royals would no
longer have a monopoly on information.  

On the other hand, it would have been perfectly reasonable for an
observer at that time to take the view that the masses would never take
to letters the way the clergy had.  It would have been perfectly
reasonable to assume that the ecclesiastical monopoly -- backed up such
as it was by everything from the power of the State to the incredibly
moneyed and all-powerful Church -- would manage to keep its stranglehold
on information.  You would be forgiven for believing that the invention
of the printing press would lead only to dramatic downsizing at the
various monasteries that employed legions of monkish scribes.

We all know where this story actually ends up.  My particular favorite
ending for the story is Thomas Paine's Common Sense (which I wrote about
on the Fourth of July at
http://blog.blip.tv/blog/2006/07/04/happy-independence-day/).  

I don't believe that Warner Independent will dominate this new medium.
I believe that the general trend of history is clear, and that as access
to the means of production expands that independent voices (within an
ever-broadening base) overwhelmingly succeed.  Remember that once upon a
time the great publishing houses of Europe were independent voices
themselves insomuch as they were not of the previously lettered
establishment.

 I feel like some of the trends that have made new media 
 appealing thusfar, particularly the sort of monitor as 
 mirror effect I talked about in my response to Fred Graver 
 http://focus.blip.tv/file/86145 where people can see 
 themselves in the show might be hard for legacy
 media to embrace.
 
 OTOH, when you're making a play for the masses, how much does 
 street cred or lack thereof in a very fringey industry matter?
 
 If we draw another parallel to film, one wonders...are we 
 going to have fewer and fewer truly independent productions 
 and see more Warner Independent style Internet TV programs?
 
 I realize that the studio system is good at funneling 
 resources to and promoting talented people, but I think 
 there's a real case for the amateurs here due to:
 
 A) sheer numbers that have not been duplicated before in any 
 of the previous revolutions they describe
 B) the continuing death of distance that continues to grow 
 niche markets.
 
 Thanks for posting this, I have been wondering in my head for 
 a little while, What happens when what we're calling today 
 'New Media' isn't really new anymore? At the moment, places 
 like  Network2 http://network2.tv/  aren't carrying much 
 that doesn't come from people outside a studio, but we will 
 see how the pendulum swings.

2006-12-07 Thread David Tames
Interesting article...

I think it's dangerous to put too much faith in the belief that  
trends and outcomes from the past are a reflection of what is  
happening today and going to happen tomorrow. I think that there's a  
significantly different thing going on today in the media and  
entertainment industry than has gone on in the past: end users are  
driving the innovation, and video blogging is a crisp example of this.

I wrote an article for IMAGINE (a trade magazine that covers film,  
video, and multimedia production in New England) for the Dec'06/ 
Jan'07 issue titled: Macro Trends in Media and Entertainment, which  
I subsequently updated:

http://kino-eye.com/2006/09/30/macro-trends-rio2006/
Document: Macro-Trends-v2.pdf (PDF, 164 KB)

What do you think of my premise?

I'm planning to release a Version 3 after I add more video sharing  
sites and round out the arguments. I'd love some feedback from this  
group before I complete a new version of the article.

Regardless of the fact that the large media players will claim a  
large percentage of the total media and entertainment activity on the  
internet, independent producers (video bloggers, independent  
filmmakers, small organizations, etc) will still have a percentage,  
and that percentage will be significantly larger than it has been in  
the past through the hundred year history of cinema, television,  
radio, cable, and now the internet. So personal and independent media  
will have much more significant access to an audience than it had  
before.

This is a trend near and dear to my heart that I've been tracking  
since 1988 when people were saying the Hi8 camcorder revolution would  
democratize the media. But I argued with my fellow filmmakers back  
then, access to the tools of production is only 1/3 of the equation.  
You still need access to marketing to build an audience, and access  
to distribution. The internet today provides the missing pieces, it  
fuels word-of-mouth as well as provides an economical distribution  
medium.

David.

You can fix this by adding a MIME type for mp4 in the IIS manager.

To do this:

1.  Open IIS Manager
2.  Find your virtual directory/web site, right click, select Properties
3.  Click the HTTP Headers tab.  In the tab, click the MIME Types
button down the bottom.
4.  Click New.  Enter extension .mp4, MIME type video/mp4.  Click OK.

Haha Ha Ha!

I just regestered

vlogsex .com .net and .org

and pornvlogs

and vlogporn

and free vlog sex

and free video blog sex

and every one of the 20, derivative of vlog an sex and cash and
free I could.

Your domains are now worthlist.

I'm going to be the king of vlog porn and get rich quick vlogging!

Domain name hoarding, and it is hoarding, much as I don't want to be
mean... is very, very much a pointless endevor.

It would not even be worth an individuals time and trouble to go about
cordinating the transfer of ownership of these domains, when they can
just go to godaddy or someplace and in to seconds regester a domain
for $7.

And people wonder why all the web2.0 sites have domain names like
odeo, and flickr, and mefeedia, and zoomr, and on and on and on.

The namespace and domain space (.net, .com, etc) is pretty much infinite.

When you domain name hoard it's a technique in finincial terms cald
hedging, like hedge funds or hedging with options...  With domain
names you're litterally hedging your bets against an the infinte pool,
that's growing more infinite everyday. I can't say this across the
board is a bad idea... because there were some good domain names, but
generally speaking it's an increasingly loosing value proposition.

Early domain name traders made money because they bought up names like
Eddiebauer and coke and cocacola... and most of them got sued
anyway... those gold rush days of picking a wining horse in this space
are done. Because there's litterally an infinite amount of horses and
the past winners are all off the market.

On2 is definately the standard right now for providing Sufficient flv
transcoding needs.
Since Dreamhost is obviously tinkering with ideas and giving their customers
some basic tools like this
I would not be surprised if they added On2 as part of a more robust solution
and start marketing it accordingly.  They have now been dabbling in ways to
archive your media forever, sell your media, share your media and now
transcode and display your media.  Maybe they build a wordpress plugin that
gets included with the one-click install process which binds that publishing
platform with their own hosted services to make it easy to publish media...
to vlog and podcast etc.  Feasible.  A turn-key solution on top of their
existing hosting platform would only take some focus and could become quite
popular...

It's a nice step from Dreamhost ! Whithin a few years, every serious hosting
service will have a media transcoding service included.

ffmpeg is quite robust and since this summer the flv support is quite good,
you can install it easily on your own dreamhost account also
http://www.catmindeye.com/media/2006/07/installing_ffmpeg_on_dreamhost.html!
With some tweaks, it support mp4 files. I have a test server (with a

well : http://dev.podesk.com/guest.php/

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Feedburner TotalStats Pro

2006-12-07 Thread sdickert
Eric -

Couple of thoughts (and immediate mea culpa if I have not read the docs yet):

1.  Better human-readable format: take a gander at my hand-hewn version: 
http://www.rawlingsatlantic.com/yi-tan/podcast.xml
I attempted to make it as clear as possible for others to read and follow - not 
that your does not, but last I looked under the hood, there was an assortment 
of content and formatting that could be made more understandable.  For us who 
like going under the hood - you scare me...a little.

2.  Media RSS - I am using blogger for GNB - and I want to support both flash, 
QT and WMV.  How canit be done?

Thanks for the feedback Eric - and tell Rick I said 'hi'.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Al online viewing booms, the amateurs give way to big media

2006-12-07 Thread Ron Watson
The comparison between the internet and the printing press is  
fascinating.

I agree that there are some very interesting developments during the  
middle ages as the church began too lose its monopoly on scribing to  
the more democratized printing model that most definitely are  
applicable to today's situation in the world of internet video, but  
there is one startling difference.

It was impossible to control the distribution of content in that  
time. There were no pipes, no tubes, and even the most ruthless and  
capable despot could not limit the distribution of the written word.

Today on the other hand, with the lack of privacy and the breadcrumbs  
that are strewn about all over in our internet world, I think it can  
be clamped down on like never before.

The move to limit our access to content in order to ensure the big  
guys ability to deliver their content is a major impediment to  
distribution and the trackability and lack of privacy make for a  
different situation from the rise of literacy and the transformation  
from an institutional scribing system to a more open printing system.

I hope that makes sense...

Thanks for the interesting reading and thoughts.

Cheers,

Ron

I guess that any 'we' really can change things, but not always in the
way that was intended, unforseen consequences are inevitable. I think
things have already changed, there are questions about quite how far
it will go, how knows.

I randomly switched on the TV here in the UK a few nights ago and
after the main 10PM news bulletin on BBC One, there was a program
about the internet, its evolution, and it got onto blogging, myspace,
youtube, and that whole longtail thing.

It was good, if a little bit arty/intellectual. One of the things they
got most excited about was the wikipedia phenomenon. I think that if
online videos of various sorts could do something colaborative on as
impressive a scale as wikipedia has, that would be a very nice thing.
It was pointed out that some of the languages what wikipedia is being
written in, have never had an encyclopedia of any sort before! Now
thats what I call progress, and the decentralised nature of wikipedia
always floats my boat.

[videoblogging] Fwd: [new-media-alumni] New video application at Discovery.com

hey guys, this is from someone who went to columbia jschool a few years
before me

Hi everyone,

We recently debuted an interactive video experience that we're very proud
of. Discovery Channel was on Everest in May and captured some amazing
footage by attaching cameras to Sherpas' helmets. Very little video has ever
been captured above Camp 4 due to temperature, weight and human
incapacitation. So this stuff is pretty unique.

The interactive allows you to see all video shot between Camp 4 to the
summit and back. Three Sherpas had cameras and all feeds are aligned by
time.

http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/everestbeyond/sherpacam/sherpacam.html

Our tech people couldn't find anyone to help them develop it, so we're
pretty sure it's fairly innovative. There is currently about 36 hours of
video streaming through the application. After we add Day 2, there will be
nearly 60 hours.

Would love to hear what you think!

Trisha Creekmore J'95

 Yes, the small users are driving inovation but sooner or
 later the big guys take notice and they have money, time
 and talent.

 And again, I am looking at this from the viewer's perspective
 and the average joe.how many average, everyday people
 who go to work, come home, make dinner and sit down in front
 of the tube, how many of them are going to watch me talk
 about the vloggies or bacon or The Ask a Ninja guy(who I
 love btw) but I wonder, what the cap for this medium
 is.how many people will want to watch just
 stuffpeople like to be entertained, bigger is better
 and so on..will that attitude change? Because if it
   doesn't

 It's an interesting thought..I know I don't have any
 answers, but what else is new..

[videoblogging] Creative Commons update

2006-12-07 Thread WWWhatsup
From: Lawrence Lessig [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2006 13:28:14 -0800


 From our last letter:
CC has come to be about much more than just licenses, and certainly  
much more than any of us dreamed.
The story continued:

So this week we launched a fresh face to the Creative Commons  
website. Built within WordPress, we hope the site will make it easier  
for people to understand and use our tools. Most noticeable are the  
new CC license icons, which expressly indicate the terms of the  
particular CC license used.

But with this letter, we also launch a new page at the CC site --  
labs.creativecommons.org. At CC Labs, we begin to demo some cool new  
innovations that the CC team has been working on. In this letter,  
I'll describe three of these innovations. The most important -- by  
far -- is an extension to the CC model that I first described in  
these letters last year [ http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/ 
5704 ]. I suspect nothing will be as important in spreading the CC  
model as this critical extension.

First, however, let me describe the other two innovations.

One very difficult issue we've faced from the start is making  
understandable the freedoms our licenses are intended to provide.  
We've made that task more difficult by emphasizing in the names we've  
given to our licenses the limits on the freedoms, rather than the  
freedoms themselves. Thus, we talk about the CC-BY license ­ which  
says you must give attribution, but doesn't say you have the freedom  
to share and remix this content. For people who get it, this isn't a  
problem. But for people not yet on this page, emphasizing  
requirements, or restrictions, doesn't seem very free.

One step towards solving this problem is a tool to give people a more  
intuitive sense of the freedoms they're allowing, and the conditions  
they're imposing. That's the aim of our Freedoms License Chooser.
[ http://labs.creativecommons.org/freedomslicense ].

When you open the page, you're presented with four puzzle pieces that  
are interlinked. The top two ­ in green ­ specify the freedoms you  
can select to apply to your creativity: the freedom to Share, or the  
freedom to Remix, or both. On the bottom, there are two limiting  
conditions -- in red -- that you can select to restrict the freedoms  
you have granted: NonCommercial, or ShareAlike, or both. Not all  
combinations are possible. (For example, if you don't give the  
freedom to Remix, you can't require that others ShareAlike, since  
ShareAlike is a restriction on remixes or derivative works.)

As you toggle the freedoms and limitations, the resulting license is  
displayed in the center of the puzzle. Click through all the options  
and you begin to get a much more intuitive sense of the shape of the  
commons.

The second example of CC Labs is also a licensing engine, again  
designed to make it easier to understand and implement CC licenses.  
It begins with the same questions that the Freedoms License Chooser  
has -- select the freedoms and select the limitations. More  
insistently than before, it also asks you to give more information  
about your work, so that the metadata attached to your work makes the  
license more valuable.

But then this License Generator gives an option we haven't had  
before. In the current version, it asks where the license will be  
applied -- on a web page, or (and this is the cool part) in MySpace.

If you select a web page, then, as always, the tool gives you the  
code to paste into the web page. But if you select MySpace, then it  
asks you to select a style, and indicate whether you want a floating  
license or a license for your profile. If you select a floating  
position, then the CC license governing the content on your MySpace  
page will live at the bottom of the screen.

Ok, so these innovations are designed to do a bit better what we've  
always done. The last innovation on CC Labs, however, will radically  
change the scope and reach of CC licenses.

You might not think so given the title of this innovation --  
Metadata Lab. It's the nature of tech-types to be understated. But  
I don't think we could overstate the importance of this new  
innovation. And in the few words left in this letter, I want to  
introduce you to this potential.

As you know, CC licenses are nonexclusive. That means the terms of  
the CC license are general, offered to anyone in the world. But they  
don't limit the author's right to enter into other deals.

So for example, my book, Free Culture, is offered under a CC BY-NC-SA  
license, meaning anyone is free to take and modify the work, but only  
for noncommercial purposes. Yet I also have another deal with my  
publisher that permits it to sell the book (something that's not  
permitted by the NC license). That deal is not inconsistent with the  
CC license, since again the CC license is not exclusive. The CC  
license says, Here are the terms that anyone in the world can take.  
But

And because, growing up, no one was allowed to change the channel (or
even really talk) when it was on... I know way too much about that
