[videoblogging] PBS Video - full-length episodes online

2009-04-22 Thread Joshua Kinberg
I'd like to share a freshly launched project with this group -- this is the
new video portal for PBS, and is a project that I'm truly proud to have been
a part of (I'm the product mgr).

http://pbs.org/video/

The first thing you’ll notice is that the site has full-length episodes from
many of the iconic shows on PBS (arguably some of the best programming on
television). This library of full-length content will be growing
substantially over time with new content added every week, and eventually
the goal is to make as much programming available on the web as possible.
This will include local content, full-length documentaries, and extensive
archives.

What’s not yet apparent is that this is only the first step of a much larger
project that will serve many different constituents at PBS — most
importantly our community of 100’s of local stations. There are components
that enable stations to publish their own content, share content between
stations, and build custom online video experiences. We’re also using the
same underlying platform to power video experiences on various PBS producer
websites and also PBS KIDS GO! http://pbskids.org/go/video/

The whole effort has required a lot of coordination across departments at
PBS and could not have been possible without extensive collaboration with
local stations and producers.

There’s still a long way to go and a lot of potential yet to be realized --
there's a lot of features that didn't make it into this first launch,
particularly some of the more innovative things that might make it more
interesting and appealing to this group (aside from the content).

So that's why I'm asking for your feedback here! Please take a look, enjoy
some of the videos, and feel free to drop a note to let me know what you
think.

Thanks!

Huh. No, I'm just using the regular free account. Maybe there's no ad right now 
because there's no content to pull context from? We'll see what happens when we 
really start streaming. Maybe just a lovely fluke.

 Hi all,

 I want to invite you to join my Cinematic Multimedia class for a
   special
 online screening of their work this Thursday, 4/23, at ~4pm (EDT/UTC
   -0400).


 We'll be using Mogulus to stream their projects, and if you haven't
   used
 it, it's a fun and interactive way to view work online. You can
   participate
 in a chat with students and other audience members while watching
  the
 show. Students will also appear on camera to introduce their
  videos,
   which
 will include a lot of kinetic typography and motion graphics work,
  as
   well
 as other forms.

 Just go to:
 http://www.mogulus.com/cinematicmultimedia

 We'll get started a few minutes after 4pm. Anyone can watch and
   participate
 - you don't need to be registered to join. I anticipate some pretty
 interesting and inventive projects to be shown!

 Hope to see you there!

 Jen
 Grand Valley State University, Allendale/Grand Rapids, Michigan

[videoblogging] Re: Fun with YouTube's Audio Content ID System

2009-04-22 Thread Renat Zarbailov
I had the same situation with music that I use for my on-going international 
dance project called iDance (www.imtv.us). The solution I found that works for 
the youtube robot not to be able to distinguish whether the soundtrack is 
copyright or not is keeping the street noise in the video that was picked up by 
the camcorder mike during filming of an iDance.

Here is a sample of what I did with this video that was blocked by youtube when 
I initially uploaded without street noise. 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gjF50Aam3c

In this one I actually found an audio clip from freesound.org that was recorded 
on the streets of the Times Square in NYC. Worked like a charm...

It's good to know that youtube only scans 30 seconds into the video for any 
copyright music. On my next iDance I will try to keep the street noise only for 
the first like 40 seconds into the clip and then fade out that audio track for 
the music to come through clean.

Thanks for the idea Jay!

 That's a pretty amazing (and thorough) write up. I just uploaded 3
 videos to youtube with music on them and they passed. The first two
 use a track that's a mashup of Radiohead and Jay-Z called Dirt off
 your andrioid. The 3rd video uses some unmodified pieces of Robot
 Rock by Daft Punk and even though it's a very repetitive song neither
 of the sections come first 30 seconds of the song.
 
 Looks like my next video should work too. The good part of Mr.
 Roboto doesn't kick in until about 40 seconds in.

  I don't consider myself to be much more than a casual YouTube user. I'll
  upload maybe one or two things a year, but nothing amazing or anything I 
  put
  any real effort into.
 
  For example, one of my videos depicts three members of my high school's
  marching band dressed in pajamas at an overly girly sleepover. The song 
  used
  in the background was I Know What Boys Like by The Waitresses. I thought
  it was hilarious when I was 17, but I had all but forgotten about it five
  years later.
 
  I was caught by surprise one day when I received an automated email from
  YouTube informing me that my video had a music rights issue and it was
  removed from the site. I didn't really care.
 
  Then a car commercial parody I made (arguably one of my better videos) was
  taken down because I used an unlicensed song. That pissed me off. I 
  couldn't
  easily go back and re-edit the video to remove the song, as the source 
  media
  had long since been archived in a shoebox somewhere. And I couldn't simply
  re-upload the video, as it got identified and taken down every time. I
  needed to find a way to outsmart the fingerprinter. I was angry and I had a
  lot of free time. Not a good combination.
 
  I racked my brain trying to think of every possible audio manipulation that
  might get by the fingerprinter. I came up with an almost-scientific method
  for testing each modification, and I got to work.

2009-04-22 Thread Mike Meiser
Wow, this is fantastic. You're using a hulu type model.  I like it. I
like it alot. Haven't gotten into the details yet.

I hope you'll be encouraging integration with boxee!!?!?

I hope also you're providing mediaRSS syndicated data to enable
search, general transparency... and of course support with things like
Boxee, XBMC and their ilk. They're the future of TV to web
integration... or web to TV integration.

I don't see page embeds. I think this is highly important... maybe
even a way to point to a specific point in a video.

Love the buy button.

Quality is acceptable, but a hare marginal compared to other site.
Hope an hd button will be added soon.

I still wish I could download... and technically I can hack away, and
hackers will just like every other site. But the flash model is proven
and pretty much a standard at this point. It's funny how profesional
sites have moved away from this and yet a huge grey market has sprung
up to hack support in.

So?  When did you move to PBS? That's great. I had no idea.

Congrats!

Definitely looking forward to seeing what you're rolling out next.

Love to see embeds and downloads, and maybe searchable, granular clips for

[videoblogging] Indy Web Series The Bindlestiffs vs. Discovery's Deadliest Catch Web spin-off

2009-04-22 Thread M.J. Loheed
Howdy, I was wondering if folks in the group might have some thoughts on 
generating vote turn out for web competitions. I don't mean to directly plug my 
project but more to ask what techniques folks with blogs and web series have 
used to help overcome apathy of our viewers.

My web series The Bindlestiffs   www.thebindlestiffs.com has been nominated 
for a Webby Award (Divsion: Online Film  Video  Category: Reality).  One of 
the other nominees in the category is Deadliest Catch: Real Dutch a web spin 
off of Discovery Channel's popular show. Our nominations make us eligible for a 
people's voice award and right now we're running in 2nd behind Deadliest with 
about 1/2 as many votes.

To have been nominated at all is quite a feather in our cap considering every 
other nominee in the category (and many more who were'nt nominated) was funded 
by much larger corporations than myself. Of course, Discovery has enormous PR 
power compared to us so we're trying everything we know to stay competitive 
(Facebook, Twitter, e-mails). 

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

M.J.

What a great quote.

as far as the Webbies go, it's not easy to get people excited about
voting. What's in it for them?

The best way is to create a relationship with people who watch and
enjoy your work. Creators get twitter accounts and twitter their
personal world. They go to events and get to know people. It's really
a small world online.

The other thing is to get involved in other communities. By investing

certainly something I try and do a lot. I've been starting to go to meet ups

 I'm not looking for short cuts just additional roads to travel.

There's a great group of videoblogging folks that you may already know
about in LA.

They can connect you to all the other peeps in their circle as well.

[videoblogging] HDVid M2TS convertion

2009-04-22 Thread Gromik Tohoku

HI,

I just got a Panasonic HS300 HDD 120GB High Definition Video camera and the 
only editing software I have is the one which comes with the camera.

When I upload the videos on my Sony Vaio computer, all the files are uploaded 
as M2TS files, which Microsoft MM can not read and edit.
The panasonic editing software compresses edited movies into MPEG files, but 
that takes 2minute for a 30second clip!

Is there anyway to either upload the videos straight from the camera as AVI 
files?
Is there a free converter out there that you would recommend, that could 
convert from M2TS to AVI files? Hardware space is not a problem.

Thanks for any advice offered.
Most appreciated,
Nicolas

Re: [videoblogging] Indy Web Series The Bindlestiffs vs. Discovery's Deadliest Catch Web spin-off

2009-04-22 Thread Adriana Kaegi

I suggest offering every 100 voter a free signed DVD of the entire film? I am a 
fan of Bindlestiffs they performed in my interactive Cyber Cabaret at the 
Knitting Factory 1998. 
If you implement such an idea, or something like it, I would be happy to help 
promote the vote for Bindlestiffs on my social media networks. You will need to 
give something to get something!
good luck,

   Paying for votes is not illegal as far as you
 know.

 viewers.

  What a great quote.
 
 
 
  as far as the Webbies go, it's not easy to get
 people excited about
 
  voting. What's in it for them?
 
 
 
  The best way is to create a relationship with people
 who watch and
 
  enjoy your work. Creators get twitter accounts and
 twitter their
 
  personal world. They go to events and get to know
 people. It's really
 
  a small world online.
 
 
 
  The other thing is to get involved in other
 communities. By investing
 
  time in other people, they will invest time in you.
 Unfortunately, Ive
 
  never seen any shortcuts.

[videoblogging] Anatomy of police brutality

2009-04-22 Thread Jay dedman
Channel 4 did an amazing job putting together events at the G20
protests in London where a bystander was killed by a policeman.
Because everyone at the protest were recording video AND were able to
connect to each other afterwards, Channel 4 had events from all
different angles.

check out the video:

A video camera is more powerful than a gun these days.
