[videoblogging] NewTeeVee loves puppies, apple pie...more at eleven!

2007-02-21 Thread Jackson West
Hello, I'm Jackson West.  You may remember me from such blogs as
SFist: The Gavin Newsom Follies and Fleshbot: Booze, Hookers and Blow.
 I'm just writing to thank folks for reading NewTeeVee, warn you that
I'm watching, beg you to digg our posts every once in a while, eagerly
invite you to troll our comments and otherwise formally introduce myself.

I'm in a tough place, because there are so many stories I want to
tell, but the investors would prefer that I tell the ones that will be
wildly popular.  Which is apparently anything having to do with Joost,
Amanda Congdon (no offense, Amanda) and where to find Fox's fear-porn
revue, 24, for free on teh innerwebs.

So if you want me to keep pumping your niche web shows, linking to
your sponsorship efforts, calling film commissioners and lawyers for
fun and showing up at small events put on by startups and creators,
please help me help you by leaving comments and telling your friends!
 My only alternative is to take Jessica Lee Rose and Lisa Donovan
hostage, force them to make out and distribute the footage via
Babelgum.  Do you really want to see that happen?



[videoblogging] Fwd: Flash Player for websites

2007-02-21 Thread WWWhatsup

[By Philip Hodgetts - This is one of the best explanations of the various 
codecs I've seen]

At 4:37 PM + 2/20/07, Carlin - BlueStar wrote:
See, that's the point. Almost everyone has Flash, and if not, its a
very quick download to get it.

As I understand it, Flash video is basically MP4, right? As is Windows
Media 9... QT too, right? for web video?

No, No and No. There is no similarity to MPEG-4 in Flash or Windows 
Media. Windows Media is it's own thing and it's SMPTE version is 
VC-1. It has no compatibility with MPEG-4. Confusion may have arisen 
by Microsoft incorrectly (and probably illegally) co-opting the 
*name* for their .asf codecs MPEG4v1, MPEG4v2 and MPEG4v3. These were 
not MPEG-4 video nor were they in the .mp4 container, which is 
*based* on the QuickTime container.

MS were annoyed that the QT container was chosen for MPEG-4 so they 
tried to co-opt the name (Embrace and extend).  They finally renamed 
MPEG4v3 Windows Media and subsequently released the rather good 
Windows Media 9 as wmv.

QuickTime 6.2 and later supports MPEG-4 Part 2 in Simple Profile or 
ISMA compatible. QuickTime 7 gained support for MPEG-4 Part 10, aka 
Advanced Video Codec (and in the ITU space H.264). The codec can be 
used in .mov containers, which are not compatible with anything but 
QuickTime, or in .mp4 containers which are completely compatible with 
any player that supports MPEG-4 at the appropriate Part and profile 
(there are many profiles within Part 2 and within Part 10).

Flash video is a bastard child in a vector-based format. Initially 
(Flash 1-6) it only supported still image sequences of limited length 
(39,000 frames comes to mine but don't quote me). Flash 7 introduced 
the Sorenson Spark codec, which is basically the H.263 video 
conferencing codec of a decade earlier. In other words, a bad, bad 
codec for quality compared with bandwidth. It wasn't not even 
competitive when it was introduced, let alone now. This is the Flash 
video codec that YouTube uses.

Flash 8 introduced support for On2 corporation's VP6 codec, branded 
as Flash 8. it's an OK codec. In my testing it needed more bandwidth 
for the same quality than H.264 or Windows Media.


Pretty sure Google Video, YouTube, and all the others are playing the
video as Flash video.

Google video is using Flash 8/9 in a proprietary container. YouTube 
is using the (should be obsolete) Flash 7/Spark codec.

The only one that has any relationship to MPEG-4 is MPEG-4 (.mp4). 
Although DivX *say* they are MPEG-4 compatible they are not really. 
Their video track is a great implementation of MPEG-4 Part 2 Advanced 
Simple Profile but it's paired with an MP3 audio track in an AVI 
wrapper. A true MPEG-4 file would be MPEG-4 video (Part 2 or 10) with 
AAC audio (Low or High complexity) in a .mp4 container.

My point for doing the Flash video is I hate having to load Real
player and Windows Media 9 or 10 and QuickTime on all my computers.
They always trash my prefs, and I don't like to do that to prospective
customers. Flash seems to be a lot cleaner in that respect.

on the other hand I do like to watch quality video without it taking 
up my entire bandwidth, so there will continue to be a role for 
quality.

prospective client, web video still isn't all that impressive :)

it can be if you avoid Flash and have encoding skills.

Re: [videoblogging] re: Did anyone see the Frontline segment on Josh Wolf tonight?

2007-02-21 Thread Steve Rhodes
 Yes, it was good.

 Better than the press preview version I watched a bit over a week ago.

If anyone missed it, the full show is online at

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/newswar/view/part2.html

 Josh is in the final segment, but it helps to have watched the whole show
since as Ryan points out - it builds up to Josh's segment.

There is a video of the speech that Lowell Bergman and
Steve Talbot gave on Jan. 11th which opens with Josh.

http://fora.tv/fora/showthread.php?t=563

Talbot produced the show which airs next week which looks
at traditional and new media.

I worked for him at the Center For Investigative Reporting
many years ago on a couple of Frontline documentaries.

 He is now also the senior editor of Frontlne/World which
has almost all of their stories which have aired on television
online as well as roughcut videos produced for the website
and flashpoint photo essays.

[videoblogging] Re: Vlog 101 | Introduction

2007-02-21 Thread jonny goldstein
I'm not sure what business are currently vlogging, but I agree that
there is great commercial potential in vlogging---something like real
estate especially. You can video a walk through of a property for
example. Do a video for Property of the the week or something.

You might want to just go to YouTube and do a search for real estate
and see if anything comes up to see what other people are doing.

It might make sense to make a videoblog of your own so you can get a
feel for the process of creating and maintaining one, before you start
making one for a client.

Here's another link with tutorials on videoblogging. It talks a little
more about the context of videoblogging than http://freevlog.org, but
has less concrete information about how to make one. Worth a look.

http://www.projectnml.org/exemplars/06vlog

Neither freevlog, nor the above link really talk about vlogging for
business publicity reasons, but you can make a vlog for whatever
purpose you want, including promoting your clients' busnesses. Good luck!

I wouldn't do it because it's the latest craze, but I would do it
because it is effective.

In my work restoring historic buildings:

Historic HomeWorks
http://www.historichomeworks.com/hhw/index.htm

I use vlogging:

Reports from the Field:
http://historichomeworks.phovi.com/

and live video conferencing:
http://historichomeworks.com/hhw/conf/vidconf.htm

Since I started about a year ago my talks, workshops and training
sessions:

http://historichomeworks.com/hhw/education/seminars.htm

have been sold out, packed, standing room only. 

My publications, The Practical Restoration Reports:

http://historichomeworks.com/hhw/reports/reports.htm

have jumped in sales.

I attributed most of this to the promotional effect of my internet
video work over the past year.

To get an idea of the reach internet video can provide, take a look at
this map that shows the location of viewers of the recording of one of
my video conferences:

http://flashmeeting.open.ac.uk/kmi_fm/replaymap.php?pwd=0f3ad1-5717

5,000 views by 3,000 viewers on 6 continents--not big numbers by some
standards, but big enough to do some good in my small business.

This is not viral video and did not happen over night, but with some
work and persistence the promotional effect can be realized.

and podcasting, by lionel felix  damien Stolarz.

I have a pretty good understanding of flash as an animator, and some know how 
for 
importing video. See samples: www.TotalMediaSource.com

May do 1-3 videobloggs for now.

Where should I host, promote, format, etc. 

I am not apposed to the $5 -8 per month approach directed by book for:
TypePad.com to promote site and get listed and /or Free Hosting: Blogger.com

BIG QUESTION:

How do I start out? I would like to hear from those with practicle experience 
and steps to 
complete.

Thanks in advance. I just joined the group.

Daryl




Re: [videoblogging] node101 wiki hacked?

2007-02-21 Thread Joey Profit
If I remember correctly I was reading an older email about SXSW and
the people who were attending listed on node101.  Some how, from
there, i made it to the old wiki.  Sorry I can't be more specific.
Guess it doesn't really matter anymore since the old wiki is gone now.

Also, it could be just me but I think node101 is currently down.

Cheers,

  First off, there are two wiki's for node101?  Little confusing.
   Anyway, if you go to one of them you get this:

   Figured someone might want to know.


 howd you find the old wiki?
 From Node101.org.it should take you here: http://node101.pbwiki.com/

Re: [videoblogging] Vlog 101 | Introduction

2007-02-21 Thread Jay dedman
  I am new to this group and to the Vlogging world. I am a publicist and
  am extremely interested in having my clients jump on board and start
  vlogging. I was hoping there would be some basic information about
  vlogging that you guys might be able to share with me; also, I wanted
  to see what sort of content businesses Vlog about? I have a real
  estate client as well as a grooming product client and I think this
  would be an amazing medium for them to reach out to their
  customers...we are completely bypassing the traditional blog and want
  to embark on the latest vlog craze. Any insight, suggestions, website's
  you can refer me to would be very much appreciated!

Much of the knowledge from this group can be found here:
http://videoblogginggroup.pbwiki.com

we should all be adding/editing it as we continue to learn more so new
people like yourself can easily see how to get started.

here's a good link as well to give you perspective:

2007-02-21 Thread Gena
Holy Smokes and Jebus! It's damn near brilliant - the idea to post
videos on eBay and to sell pre-rolls ads. It might confuse non-vloging
folks for a bit but this idea is spot on. 

I like that it extended videoblogging beyond the home base. It takes
the concept of video to others who wouldn't expect to see it on eBay.
People will have questions. Too cool.

Wow,

[videoblogging] SF Video 2.0 Meetup this Monday

2007-02-21 Thread esk11211
Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that there is another SF Video 2.0
Meetup happening this Monday at 7pm.  It is a casual meetup where Bay
Area companies (usually start-ups) and content creators get together
and showcase whatever it is they are working on.  Presenters have a
projector and a screen and usually speak for 15-20 min and then do a
QA session after. oh, and this time we have a bigger room at the CNET
HQ so we can hold lots of people.  

This Monday the presenters include:

Jaman 
vod:pod
Castfire
Webshots

So come!  And please let us know if you are working on anything you'd
like to showcase. Thanks...

Thanks for the kind words, here and in the past!  Now that I've done
my part to promote the site, it's back to writing. Just wanted to make
sure you guys knew I'm here for the love of the game, but the
accountants who process my checks have other priorities.  The good
news is that for every My Name is Earl post, maybe somebody reads a
Wreck  Salvage write up.

With that, I'll shut my Joost hole.  At least until I have another
project to announce (which, as some of you may know, may be sooner
rather than later).

In the meantime, feel free to bug me direct with questions, tips,
rumors and your own self-promotional efforts -- jacksonwest at gmail

   My only alternative is to take Jessica Lee Rose and Lisa Donovan
   hostage, force them to make out and distribute the footage via
   Babelgum. Do you really want to see that happen?
 
  yeah...just as we have to support each other as independent

  I wonder if Joost hole will be in the dictionary soon.

I am still waiting for the first entry.
Yes there is a lag but after 2-3 entries will put a
deadline.
Ideally uploading directly would be great but if
anyone has a simple tech solution it would be helpful.
Thanks for all your inputs.

   I went, it was fun. I almost melted in the sun. Schlomo and I arm
 wrestled best-of-three for videoblogging versus YouTubing and what
 can I tell you? All his videos will be appearing exclusively on
 YouTube from now on. All your bases are belong to us. As the kids
 used to say.

 Actually - and some of you may be dissapointed to hear this - no one
 put a dog on a skateboard and rammed it repeatedly into anyone's
 testicals. Although I did watch Mike Judge's new movie Idiocracy
 later and formulated my own hypothesis about slapstick as a disruptive
 media force. Too complicated to go into here. I met some kid running
 a Republican political campaign for a congressional district in San
 Diego on YouTube, some sketch comedy people, someone who vlogs about
 life in the Tenderloin, someone who wanted high profile vloggers to
 use their power get out environmental messages, and some people who
 may, or may not, have been in character the whole time. Ubiquitous
 San Francisco sign-carrier Frank Chu showed up eventually, as he is
 wont to (and have you *seen* his Wikipedia entry?)

 There were YouTubers in attendance from as far away as Australia,
 and everyone seemed to be having a good time just mingling. Some
 people definately enthuse about the YouTube community - a smaller,
 less vocal contingent view it as you might an operating system - most
 worthy of comment when it's not working the way it's supposed to (and,
 ironically, the site went cock-a-hoop for most of Sunday...)
