Re: [videoblogging] Re: Building your vlog's following
I used to use PMachine. Then I used Expression Engine. Neither really gave me the control that I wanted. I had tried Moveable Type in the past but I didnt like having to rebuild everything after I posted. In the end, I finally settled on WordPress as my vlog/blog platform and couldnt be happier. All that really means nothing though as it is a personal choice what one uses for their blog or vlog.

However, I believe the vlogosphere will ultimately be dominated by those vlogs that suck viewers in by being interactive. I'm a member of some forums where one can post a comment about something and then click a box so you are automatically notified by email whenever someone else posts a comment after your comment. I have found this feature to be invaluable in continuing a discussion on some line of thought. Days or weeks later, I'll get an email notice with a link which returns me to that discussion. I've always thought such a feature on a vlog would be most valuable. I've finally found such a vlog. Anyone really interested in developing a base of readers should explore it. When first visiting, if you try to post a comment, you will be prompted to register first. Many of us have done this on sites that host vlogs like Blogger, etc. It took about four hours before I got an email validating my registration. Usually, most of us would be video years away from a posting-moment-thought after four hours. However, I had left the link open, returned and posted my comments. I think I made that effort because I hate to leave a good vlog with 0 comments. Then, I received an email saying someone had replied to my comment. This was a first time experience for me while vlogging. I returned to the vlog. I think a new vlog had been put up replacing the episode I was commenting on. I typed a quick answer to that comment asking what kind of program the vlogger used. Seems that all this is available (for money of course) at http://www.pmachine.com/ . I'm not a computer geek. However, I know an effective way to handle personal interactions. After posting my answer to the answer, I was suddenly invited to choose an avatar to accompany any future comments I might want to make. Now, I use an avatar,(a simple lighted single candle), at The Immortality Institute forum. You become very fond of the avatar you choose. Such features as email notification that a comment (possibly on your comment) has been posted on a vlog and vanity extras like avatars are very effective tools for drawing anyone into interactions and conversations on any site. All this makes me fear that in the vlogosphere, geeks will ultimately rule the roost despite all the wonderful free tutorials at Freevlog!

[videoblogging] Re: What to buy and use; Editing software / tools / tapes / magazines /
I use both a PC and a Mac to do my editing. It all depends on what system I sit down to at any given time. On my PC, for editing, I use Adobe Premiere Pro. After I have done all my editing, I save the movie as an uncompressed AVI then encode it to an 320x240 H.264 MOV file using Quicktime Pro. As for other editors, I've probably tried them all. Vegas is very, very good. Adobe Premiere Elements is very good (only about $100). Ulead MediaStudio and VisualStudio are good. Pinnacle is absolute crap. Version 10 is worse than crap. Stay away from Pinnacle if you want to keep your money and your sanity. As a side note. Windows MovieMaker will have a new version when Windows Vista is released. All the functions (transitions, special effects, fonts, etc) that you are looking for can pretty much be found in almost all NLE's these days. Tapes. I use a tape only once and then pop in a new one when it's full. I mostly do that for archival purposes. Software Utilities. None. Premiere Pro and Quicktime Pro do everything I need or want them to do. Video magazines. I have a subscription to DV Magazine. Good toilet reading material :) Hope that helped.

I don't have the latest version, but the older version I had crashed constantly, and took forever to encode. Read lots of online reviews.

So far as the tapes, you're going to see a quality decrease immediately, a noticable one on the third time. If you're only worried about the rendering quality (ie, 'internet size,') you should be able to go a few times on a tape without it being noticable at the lower resolution.

How about the rebroadcasting of video? I see this time and time again online where someone has captured something off the television, or downloaded it from somewhere and then slapped it up on their website. Case and point, http://www.palazzojay.blogspot.com/ The reason I am using this site as an example (there are tons of sites similar to this one out there) is that these rebroadcasted videos are all over Blip this morning. Now, the person that has that website really isnt breaking a copyright law. Correct? Blip are the ones that are actually hosting those videos. I assume that they must accept full responsibility should a Saturday Night Live lawyer come look around. Something tells me that SNL doesnt use a Creative Commons license with regards to their old shows. Of course, that could open a huge can of worms when it comes to people using copyright music within their videos. Many people do it. I myself have been guilty of using music I didnt own in a video. Blatant rebroadcasting of a television program is another thing though. Am I way off base here and is there some clause in a Blip agreement/contract that releases them of all copyright infringments?

Glad to see a replied to my post. I was beginning to think no one thought it was an important issue. The reason I used him as an example was that I noticed a ton of videos from him at Blip on a continuing basis. I am pretty sure that there are others that do the same, upload copyrighted material, however not to the extent that he was.

I see this time and time again online where someone has captured something off the television, or downloaded it from somewhere and then slapped it up on their website. Case and point, http://www.palazzojay.blogspot.com/ The reason I am using this site as an example (there are tons of sites similar to this one out there) is that these rebroadcasted videos are all over Blip this morning. Now, the person that has that website really isnt breaking a copyright law. Correct? Blip are the ones that are actually hosting those videos. I assume that they must accept full responsibility should a Saturday Night Live lawyer come look around. Something tells me that SNL doesnt use a Creative Commons license with regards to their old shows. Of course, that could open a huge can of worms when it comes to people using copyright music within their videos. Many people do it. I myself have been guilty of using music I didnt own in a video. Blatant rebroadcasting of a television program is another thing though. Am I way off base here and is there some clause in a Blip agreement/contract that releases them of all copyright infringments? David http://www.taoofdavid.com Yeah, Jay was totally violating copyright. There's no question what he was doing was illegal. He wasn't using bits of SNL in a larger piece of artwork. He wasn't making a video of himself on SNL, cutting in and out of their sketches, back to him... He didn't add value to the material -- he was clearly rebroadcasting work that he didn't have any rights to. He was putting blip at risk as well. There is no way that blip could sign something with Jay that would release them of responsibility -- Jay has no legal standing to sign a contract about someone else's work. It's interesting that you used him as an example -- he was a student in my videoblogging class last semester. (The whole posting SNL clips and t.v. commercials thing was new, however. He added those to his blog after the semester was over.) SNL is a particularly hot set of videos to post right now, in my opinion, since NBC just signed a deal with Apple to put them on the iTunes Music store. Apple has reason to want to clamp down on illegal rebroadcast, as well as NBC. So what happened? Blip.tv pulled all the videos and emailed Jay to say... uh Mr. Palazzo we don't think so. Blip was very kind, and didn't punish him. They just stopped him cold. Yahoo!

Any NLE will be able to capture the video. What you will need is the proper hardware. You can use a video capture card and plug a VCR into that and capture. You can use a DV camera that has A/V inputs. (VCR to DV Cam to Computer) Failing that...you can bring your VHS cassette into a company that will capture it for you and put it on DVD.

[videoblogging] Re: Rocketboom to Auction Advertising Time on Ebay?
Ah. Well...for me personally, I wouldnt run a video commercial. My solution was an attempt to avoid the commercials in video. While I am not opposed to ads on a website, my wish is to not interfere with the viewers experience of watching my/the content. I may or may not include an ad below my videos in a pop-up window. Still thinking about it. Would the small amount of revenue gained from that be worth it? Maybe. However if viewers dont watch my videos because of it, then I would certainly remove the ads. For Rocketboom, with the multitudes of viewers they have, an experiment like this may not be so harmful to lose a few viewers here and there. For someone like me with a small amount of visitors, losing a any amount of people watching would make a difference.

You know. I never said to anyone that they shouldnt take money for advertising on their blog/vlog/whatever you want to call what you do on your website.

It's the influence that money brings. I wonder if other motivators/value-markers that can also influence content are as soul-destroying. For instance: I love my husband. Our love is generally a positive thing. BUT: his influence has changed/removed some of my vlog content. Is that a bad thing or not? I'm also motivated by audience comments-- I love it when people say stuff about my vlog! Don't we all just love the attention sometimes? Is fame/attention a negative motivator? If the fans want one thing in particular from you, at what point is it as damaging as when the corporations want you to dance to their own tune for pay? I know many writers who have answered the cries of their fans to the point where their work is virtually unreadable, so full of fan-insertions, in-jokes, and repetitions of the same tired stories and characters. This happens in TV all the time, and movies to a lesser degree, because both of those are much greater financial risks. In novels, however, publishers are willing to risk a certain amount of money on the percentage of the fans who are guaranteed to buy the book. At what point does the author say no, that's just not what I should write anymore? Even without the monetary incentive-- the fans are crying for it! [Case in point: the Firefly, Season Two campaign that's going on right now, despite Joss Whedon's assurances that Serenity was the end.] Err... but I digress. I'm less conscious of money than I should be-- even though it's a direct, value-oriented thing, I have a hard time keeping it in the forefront of my brain. Which is not to say I don't love money and the things I can do with it (mostly purchasing small, expensive electronic gizmos). But rather, money is only motivating to a point: Money is a major motivator when you can't afford to buy a baked potato for lunch. Money is a strong motivator when you're barely able to afford health insurance. Money stops motivating most people when they can cover their bills and tuck a small amount (never enough) into a savings account, and provide for their children, if applicable. For childless folks, money is even less motivating-- once I have enough to carry me into my nineties, exactly what more do I need? I would say that someone giving me $10,000 to run ads on my videoblog would just convince me to turn that particular domain into their corporate mouthpiece. Which is fine-- I have never been so proud that I was unwilling to sell what few talents I have for cash. When I was fifteen and in the throes of teenaged writer angst, I was still looking forward to the day I envisioned, of myself selling ad copy as a corporate shill. Hey, it's only soul-destroying if you let it touch your soul. If I were given $10K for my vlog, I'd probably shortly start up my own personal free vlog space elsewhere, basically starting over, because I'd still need my own voice somewhere, independent and without strings attached.

My assumption is that it's a video of a beheading. You probably dont want to view it. The ends, in my opinion, do not justify the means. All I see it doing is two things.

Either he wanted show something he thought was important or just further his own desire for hits to his site/videos. Regardless...I am not impressed. Randolfe (Randy). Get a clue.

[videoblogging] Re: Exact conversions for Adobe Premier elements to QT
Ok...this is how *I* work with Premiere Elements... Start a new project. Use the default preset of DV-NTSC. Capture video. Edit video. When finished, go File, Export, Movie. Save it as an AVI. Generally the default settings are all fine. They should be the following... Export Video and audio Entire Timeline Filetype Microsoft DV AVI Video Settings Compressor: DV NTSC Frame size: 720h 480v (0.900) Frame rate: 29.97 frames/second Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1/DV NTSC (0.9) Fields: Lower Field First Audio Settings Compressor: Uncompressed Sample rate: 48000 samples/second Channels: Stereo Sample type: 16-bit Now, open Quicktime. Import AVI. Then File, Export. The settings you want to use are the following... Under Video Settings - Compression Type - H.264 - Motion - Frame Rate: 15FPS - Key Frames - Automatic - Data Rate - Restrict to 355kbits/sec - Optimized for Streaming - Compressor - Encoding - Best Quality (Multi Pass) Filter - No filters Size Custom Size - Width 320 Height 240 Now onto the Sound Settings - Format - AAC - Channels - Stereo (L R) - Rate - 22.050kHz Check Show Advanced Settings AAC Encoder Settings: - Bit Rate Format - Constant Bit Rate - Target Bit Rate - 32kbps - Precedence - Sample Rate - Quality - Better That should give you the following... http://www.taoofdavid.com/videos/baby_sphynx_2.mov I use this method all the time and the videos turn out fine for the web.

Do you enjoy watching vlog video on: + The Web + Desktop Media Player and/or Aggregator + TV + Portable Media Player (viPod, PSP etc) Mostly...the web. Questions questions questions. Are you hard core? Spend several hours a day watching video? Not hard core. I'll sit down for an hour or 2 and watch some of my prefered vloggers. Are you a remixer? Do you need/like to organize all the video from channels you subscribe to for later? Have no interest in remixing what someone else has done. I dont save online videos. Just watch them as I come across them. Do you typically watch the same video more than once? If so, do you find it annoying to go back to the source to grab or search your computer for it? I generally only watch a video once unless it's a REALLY good one. If I want to watch it again, I just go back to the site and replay it. Do you enjoy the web video experience? What makes it good or bad for you? I enjoy it. Bad: Video that wont come off a server fast enough and stutters. Do you like special software to handle video playback? No. Do you care about online video working like a TV so you can channel surf? No. Are you online most of the time? Have broadband? Have broadband. Commute and use a portable device? Whats it like for you? I recently got a Samsung A920 phone. I bought a 512M SD card for it and sometimes grab the latest PAN compilation, convert it to 3gp and put on my phone to watch over lunch.

Here is just the beginning of the article: NBC Needs To Fall Into Some Internet Marketing Cracks A media critique by Wayne Friedman, Monday, February 20, 2006 NBC DOESN'T WANT THE HELP of strangers--especially strangers who want to help promote its shows. Such is the case with YouTube.com, which offered up a free download of a short Saturday Night Live sketch. NBC itself also offers the sketch free on its Web site. But NBC told YouTube to give the skit the heave-ho. Why? Perhaps this could lead to abuse. Perhaps someone would get too crazy and start promoting other shows, real crappy ones. Then what? I don't know. Perhaps they could climb out of last place. NBC's official response to YouTube is this: We're taking a long and careful look at how to protect our content, said a spokeswoman, who added that the company means no ill will toward fan sites. This is backward thinking.

The second piece of good news: we are signing a contract with a major Tier One ISP for a new feed that should completely solve our current performance problems. They promise installation in three days, but it could take longer if our current ISP drags their feet in terms of installation. Either way, within a few days, our performance problems should be a thing of the past. In the meantime, we're still distributing load across two ISPs at two different locations, and tuning our process for doing so. We're getting much better at it, but with the amount of content we're pushing it's tough going. The new installation will solve this problem, and we're doing everything we can between now and then to make things fast.

Before I reserve final judgement, I'll await independant benchmarks on how well this little machine performs.

Also, seeing that the system requirements for Front Row on the intel chips are... PC OSX x86 512MB of physical memory Mac OS v.10.4.3 Tiger 1.4GHz Intel class processor 32MB video ram PC OSX x86 512MB of physical memory Mac OS v.10.4.3 Tiger 1.2GHz AMD class processor 64MB video ram ...actual performance will, again, be interesting to see.

[videoblogging] Mac mini, videobloging (was Re: May events)
I have a PC running as a server up in my attic. It has the onboard Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900. The 950 is marginally better than the 900. It's original purpose wasnt to be a server however after seeing the performance of the video, that became it's destiny. How OSX will utilize the intel chip is yet to be seen. Comparing XP or Vista to OSX is pointless as these are two different video rendering engines. I would say that the one thing the integrated intel video will have going for it in the new Mini is that it is pci-express and not AGP. Again, I am going to reserve judgement until I see some benchmarks. Further, I'll reserve my final judgement for when I head down to an Apple store and use one for myself.

[videoblogging] Re: OT: how to move between servers
I agree. Best (read easiest) thing I can see doing in this situation is to install a clean version of MT then upload all your files then import your database.

David http://www.taoofdavid.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Peter Van Dijck [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes. The thing to remember is: when moving an MT install or any dynamic website, it's NOT just about FTP-ing the files (which is easy), but about replicating the database, usernames, permissions and all that geeky stuff (which can be hard). You should look into MT's import/export options though. That might be the simplest way. Peter On 3/5/06, Brett Gaylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: yikes.

Go check out the Pinnacle forums for all the problems people have had and are having. I'm telling you it's bad based on my own personal experience with the software. There are numerous easy to use NLE's out there that will do that job. In the end, it will be up to you what you are comfortable using. I've found that Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0 is very powerful yet simple enough for the beginner. Remember though, there is a difference between Adobe Premiere and Adobe Premiere Elements. If you dont want to purchase anything at this time, you can just use Windows Movie Maker until you are more comfortable with editing. If you are going to be creating Quicktime movies, I would suggest spending the $30 and purchasing Quicktime Pro for encoding your final videos.
