[videoblogging] Re: rel=payment or 'Donate Link and vlogging'
Yeah those encrypted paypal buttons use a little mini form with 'hidden' fields. You probably wont be able to piece it together into one link because it would become an HTTP_GET instead of a HTTP_POST as the form expects (and I'm betting paypal checks for that). What I would do, if I were you, is create a small page on your site that thanks the viewer for clicking the pay-me button and has that button to paypal .. then use rel=payment to point to that new page. - Dave http://www.davidmeade.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Jan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a question about this tag for you fine developers: my paypal button is encrypted and doesn't appear to have a URL in the traditional sense of the word.

It could link to a Cafe Press store, your paypal page, an HTML page with your address so people can mail you a check, a page that links to books or DVDs through an Amazon Affilliate program, a URL formatted with a GET query so you can track the click through and record which blog entries bring in the cash, a link to a page where you can donate to a particular cause, campaign, or charity. This is entirely up to the author. It is completely open and flexible. And its fucking simple. Also note that rel=payment does not entail any restrictions on access to content. You can't use rel=payment to force someone to pay you first before being able to download something. rel=payment is an after the fact payment -- it is an optional transaction between viewer and creator. Some people would be happy to pay for content they enjoy or wish to support. Why not make it possible for them to do so? I think this is a good step for videoblogs, podcasts, and blogs in general, and would pave the way for a much needed XML namespace extension for RSS. Plus, if users are already adding rel=payment it will be dirt simple for blog software developers to implement this XML namespace as a plugin once that spec is fleshed out and agreed upon by the community at large.

I know some people are seeing this as a scary move toward sponsor inspired content, and I understand that. However I wanted to share with you another possible idea ... I think this rel=payment would give us a change to really work as a group toward a goal in a way we just can't now except in moral support. bI think this has some serious power however to help us as vloggers start to do things we always talk about ... changing things!/b It would be great for a series of videos meant to accomplish something. Not all of your vids would have to have the same payment page - some could be callouts for your viewers to donate to some cause. For example suppose all the vloggers had a 'cause week' where we picked a cause, had a donation page agreed to, and for a week (or month or whatever) made relavent vlogs with rel=payment for the cause. That's pretty freakin' cool. It also gives us a means to sort of ... campaign. If you are a politcal advicate talking about your canidate of choice your rel=payment for that video could be to his campaign fund for example. This really would give us the ability to leverage our numbers in a very real way toward actual real world solutions (which almost always require funds :-P ) Normally, my audience is likely to be my 2 brothers, a few buddies from Purdue, and a coworker or two ... and none of them are gonna pay me anything :-P ... but I still think this is a really cool idea and I'll use it not only for it's fresh new-gizmo smell but also gladly as a group effort draw my (and others) viewers into action. - Dave http://www.davidmeade.com Yahoo!

[videoblogging] Re: Vloggercon II
I don't really care where we have it honestly, but don't fault the New Yorkers for the fact that there's a lot of vloggers there and they're organized. I'm not faulting anyone for anything and certianly not for having numbers (I did after all say That being said I do recognize that there are ALOT of vloggers out there - and it's fair to consider that, I think.). But 'planning' can be done remotely ... and should take into consideration the masses who are traveling to attend. NYC isn't inherently cheaper (in some cases its more expensive) ... and so other places should be considered. The other intrinsic advantage of NY (Chicago would probably fit here as well) is that it's relatively easy to get around the city w/o renting a car, which significantly lowers the cost and hassle of a trip. The West Coast doesn't have that distinction unfortunately. Yes, this is a valid 'pro' to put in the NYC column. (Chicago, as you suspect, would also get this 'Pro' ... I've lived here - right downtown - for 6 years and have yet to own a car. Public tranist here is quite good.) - Dave YAHOO! GROUPS LINKS Visit your group "videoblogging" on the web.

I haven't been able to get 3GP movies to slide in easily alongside my But before settling on TA, I was wondering if other providers have leapfrogged them just yet. I don't know of any services so I cant really answer your question, but I've been thinking about this alot too lately, so please forgive me as I ramble about it a bit: For those with their own website (as opposed to just a blogger account) ... hosting solutions that use cpanel (and probably most others) let you set up an email address that will redirect to a perl script, or even a php script. There are some good examples in either language available out there on how to parse the email and save off attachments ... but I'm not sure I'm smart enough to tweak them out as needed (and my phone's video service is extremely limited anyhow so I haven't bothered to try). What would be awesome would be if some of the brilliant people out there could make such a script that anybody could use on their site (adjusting a few key setup variables). The email parser script could include a 'switch case' to decide how to do the actual update to the blog. The individual vlogger would have to set a variable to indicate which type of blog they use. The script could then have a sort of plug-in ability for the various blog systems out there. One option for blogger XLM-RPC, one for Wordpress, and one which just parses out the data from the email and makes it available for home-grown-apps to create their own plug-in to do the actual updating of the blog. If I ever get a decent video-messaging service I may revisit the code myself ... but I make no claims of smartness. - Dave http://www.davidmeade.com YAHOO!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Serious Magic and Vlogit!
You can view wmvs on mac (although some have told me that the wmv player for Mac is crap). WMVs are not bad, it's just that the platform tries very hard to keep the user out of the guts of the video ... You can however, for example, download the WM Encoder tool and play around with the compression settings and even add scripting to open up certain urls at certain points in the video ... but nobody does this and those of us who have tried eventually end up shouting out some string of curses at Microsoft and giving up. All that being said ... as a windows user I've had some really ugly experiences with quicktime too. It's basically arguing religion and people get all worked up over some ability that the other format probably can do (even if it normally / easily doesn't) or issue that each probaly has (provided you are usingthe right... or wrong ...OS). I publish WMVs at the moment (and make no claim of them being high quality or low file size). I've thought of publishing MOVs as well ... but with all my codecs installed and following all the instructions we've seen in this thread ... half the time my MOVs just flat out fail to export correctly and the other half the file size is no smaller than WMVs. (Note: I'm not saying QT can't do it better, I'm saying me as a fairly savy windows user can't seem tomake it do so). Eventually I'm gonna try again and find out what I did wrong, but if I ever do publish MOVs it will likely be along side WMVs as well.

Re: [videoblogging] Multi-Linking Blip.tv and OurMedia Together
Justin - Interesting idea, but I for one would not want to use a link that requires the viewer to install software. However this could probably be done on a server side solution - it could work alot like the tinyurl service except that the server has a 1-many rather than 1 to one map for urls it creates ... for example, maybe users sign up with a service and can then enter in a series of urls to be hidden behind one url with the service. Upon a request to that url theserver would then have to check http request header results or something to find the first / prefered available link in the set ... and then redirect the users browser to that url.

Re: [videoblogging] Not a videoblog, a 'signlog'!
Hi Brein - Maybe you could partner with one of the hosting options that are poping up. A few of them are experimenting with ways to let users record the video directly from a webcam to the website (or upload one naturally). If you could find such a service, you could probably convince them to provide the user with a little snippet of code they can use to include the video in a post on your site. This would help with bandwidth and user-experience ... as well as limit the amount of modifcation you'd need/want to do to a CMS. - Dave http://www.davidmeade.com YAHOO!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: how do you feel about video popping up in a new window?
On 10/11/05, Richard Bennett-Forrest [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What I was referring to, is that HTML is structural and contextualmark up, and individual visual user agents (web browsers) are mostly free to display HTML however they wish. The point being, publishersprovide the data, and the user (or browser) decides how to view it. I'm not trying to beargumentative, butI'm still not sure I agree with this.Browsers are not really free to decide how it's displayed - they CAN yes but... they are supposed to adhere to a standard by the w3c.HTML/DHTML/_javascript_ ... they were all designed to let publishers layout and present information and interfaces. When one of the browsers would parse something in a way that wasn't standard - publishers went crazy (that was the whole browser wars of the mid-late 90s). XML is interface/layout free ... but HTML/CSS/DHTML/JS and the like are all very much about letting the publisher define how his information is presented. Pop-ups arguably fly in the face of this, as they dictate a specificuser interface. They simply open a new window. I realize this alters the 'user interface' ... but so doesa non-popups link. If I click a non-embeded link to a MOV file, the stuff I was reading goes away .. thats dictating how my interface works just as much. From the other side, it also breaks standard user interfaceguidelines in that it isn't immediately obviously whether a hyperlink will open in the same window, or in a pop-up window. Windows whichopen themselves are also bad UI. Well I disagree in that last bit there. Bad UI is whatever is counter-intuitive for the user. here's an example. just before I started vlogging I was building out some test pages. I had a test page with a quicktime movie (it wasn't mine I was just testing my database stuff). I asked my co-worker to watch the video ... she opened the test page url and clicked the link. Quicktime took over, the web page vanished and the player was there. She audibly gasped and slammed the back button. She did this 3 more times before she closed the window and said fucking make it stop doing that. So if a user base is expecting a popup and they dont get one that too is bad design. Granted that was a user test of one person ... but you get the idea. If the person had planned on reading the text blog below a post or the comments as the video loads ... and when they click the button that page vanishes, that's counter-intuitive. But you are right that pop-upscan very easily the most annoying thing on the web. Using them effectively is tricky. To know what good ui is for a given application really requires a usability test with real users. I think that in the end people get used to the way their favorite websites work and either solution is ok if its done well. - Dave http://www.davidmeade.com SPONSORED LINKS Individual Fireant Typepad Use YAHOO!

XML/RSS do that - thats raw data. HTML etc is MARK UP language ... its very use MARKS UP data to be displayed in a certain way (bullet lists, bolds, etc). There are certainly tools and user options and programs which can override that, but web site designers dont provide pure data ... they MARK IT UP. but it's also meant to allow content publishers to easily make that data available in a manner *they the publisher* choose.Go ahead. Just know that you have no control over how it can betransformed or displayed. I've been telling print designers this foralmost 10 years now. I wouldnt dream of trying to prevent it from being TRANSFORMED. But I CAN mark it up as I the publisher chose...I'm the one writing the marked up page.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: WordPress Auto-enclosures fix
yeah if you hard code the enclosure field already, you're good to go. But as of version 1.5 Wordpress will attempt to add those enclosure fields for you by magic. When linking to a media file directly, WordPress would realize it and add an enclosure automatically. This attempt would always fail however if you were linking to a media link that was really a 302 redirect. With the tweaks however wordpress 1.5+ will be able to make sense of a 302 and correctly add the enclosure. Again, its not an issue if you're manually adding the enclosure field. It may or may not be of any value, but I offer it here in case someone has been trying to figure it out. http://www.davidmeade.com/post/post.php?topicID=579 - Dave http://www.davidmeade.com On 10/18/05, wazman_au [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Funny, but I use Ourmedia and I don't seem to have a problem withthis.

Re: [videoblogging] embedding
In windows the easiest way is to open the file in a player. in Windows Media Player (for WMVs) you can then go to File-Properties in QuickTime Player (for MOVs and others) you can hit cntrl-i (There are ways to make WMVs display this information within the file directory view but it's dependant on folder settings and may require customizing the view, etc etc etc ... even then the info wont show up for MOVs ... so the easiest way is to just play them and view the file properties from the player in one of the two above methods.) -- http://www.DavidMeade.com SPONSORED LINKS Individual Fireant Typepad Use YAHOO!

Re: [videoblogging] QuickTime (and anything else) can make small files
That remark was made in a comparison to ther file types. The link you sent is very nice quality and all .. but its half the size of what we normall use on vlogs ... its appls and oranges. The question/concern was about how files (for videos of the same size/fps) have such dratmatically different file sizes / quailty depending onthe filetype/compression. The new tutorial you made fot 3ivx/MOV is really good and I'm still gonna try some new stuff ... but doing as it describes makes a .MOV files that is twice as large file size than the WMV of the same thing.

using 3ivx as per Verid's new tutorial video, my MOV files are fully twice the filesize as my WMV files.

Re: [videoblogging] QuickTime (and anything else) can make small files

When I tried (perhaps poorly) to alter the 3ivx settings to create a file size that was about the same as the WMV ... the MOV file was complete crap - not even close. I'm not saying it cant be done - I'm just saying that so far I have been unable to create a quality/filesize ratio MOV that is similar, equal to,or better than the WMVs ... and with the tutorial settings I can get *much* smaller files for what my eye is willing to call similar quality by using WMVs.

Perhaps a more fair criticism is that given the tools available to some windows users it's difficult to the point of not worth trying to get it done. (That is until the ipod made it a geeks must have :-P ... now it's very worth trying.) The bottom line is that each of Windows and MAC has a push button simple and free way to make movies. Each can have the settings custom defined (yes even a WMV can) ... and each (as we have now seen) can make roughly equivilent quaily/filesize movies ... However - for the record - one unfair critism I hear from MAC users all the time is that Quicktime is *SO* much easier to use and friendly than WMV - and my blood boils about every time I hear it. I dont want to type out 3 pages of troubles but for me ... I've tried roughly 8 (yes EIGHT) different movie editors (that have apparently worked for others) and spent well over $300 on them and each has in its own unique way F'd up the quicktime export process in some extremely frustrating way, or simply wouldnt run correctly. I've spent another $30 bucks on QT pro, another $20 on 3ivx (so that I can try to have them at these smaller file sizes) ... and still ... I dont' have a solution that actually works for me - ATM, I'm having to use up to 3 different software packages and then spending WAY WAY WAY too much time creating intermidate files to port into Quicktime Pro. (You can claim that this is the nature of crappy windows boxes, but 'buy a mac' shouldn't really be the 'this is how you make a quicktime' answer if it's being championed as the vloggers format of choice due to its ease of use.) I'm not saying QT is worse (and I'm not saying its better) ... but have a little pitty on the poor windows users; besides the fact that some of us just cant get the tools to behave, most users most aren't codec-gurus and have no idea what those options you tell us to set actually do ... so when the only tutorials available for such a painful windows experience produce files that dont seem all *that* much better in quality really but are twice the filesize ... well thats why you get the windows folks saying WMV are often smaller. :-P I realize the WMV viewer experience can apparently be crappy on a MAC but the QT creation process on a PC is (or at least CAN be) pretty crappy too.

Re: [videoblogging] no enclosures
Josh ... I figured it out ... your MIME mention got me thinking and I checked something... It's the MP3 you have as an enclosure in your latest post. the Blip.TV server is returning it's content type as text/html; instead of: audio/mpeg When feed burner goes to check the content type isn't not matching what it should be. The good news is this is an easy fix ... The blip.tv servers were doing the same thing for WMVs not too long ago and they fixed it for me inside of a day. I'd email Mike and ask him about it and in the meantime maybe remove reference to the MP3. - Dave http://www.davidmeade.com On 10/26/05, Josh Leo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have had a working feed since march, i have 3 other working feedburner feeds, but all of a sudden this morning , I discovered the my feed had no enclosures.

Re: [videoblogging] no enclosures
Doh. Sorry if I mis-spoke. I wrote up a lil test page where I can enter a url and it returns the headers of that file or of the 302 behind it ... perhaps in my rush to check the MIME after hearing it as a possible cause I neglected to click the follow 302 button I made... I thought I was checking the 302 but its possible that I didn't. If I messed up, sorry for mis-speaking. I just saw 'text' and shouted Eureka. It seems that removing the mp3 helped though, so if blip.tv's content-type was right all along (as it apparently was) then it seems feedburner must die if you have more than on per post. - Dave -- http://www.DavidMeade.com Yahoo!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: blip.tv stats

[videoblogging] CNN/AP article totally missed it
CNN has an article about the video iPod and I found it expectidly
lacking of knowledge about whats going on with video/internet today:
==
Movie
studios, television networks and other content providers must determine
whether there's money to be made in Apple's latest online venture
without cannibalizing their existing businesses.
While waiting for the number of
titles to grow, iPod owners can fill their players with home movies and
other video, provided their software can encode the video in a
supported format (H.264 or MPEG-4 video) and other specifications.
... {snip}...
Though watching home movies is fun, the promise of commercial content will interest a lot more people. But there's no indication when more TV shows or even movies might arrive on an iPod near you.
In the meantime, there's always music.
um ... in the meantime there are countless video blogs out there people!!! :-P

[videoblogging] 'Chicago Protest' or 'Sudden Need for Camera'
So I was walking back to the office from lunch today when I was cut off by a mass of people in a marching protest down the middle of busy Chicago streets. Immediately of course I thought cool, this would make a great vlog. I noticed they were surrounded by an army of police to protect them so I thought, clearly they have all the permits required to do this'. Nobody was going to dramatically get carted away by the police ... and that made me wonder: Is this rather large showing going to get completely ignored by the mass media just because they couldn't show clips of somebody getting tossed in a wagon?! I reached for my camera but didn't have it. So I ran back to the office grabbed my camera and ran back out to find them again. I was on lunch hour and couldn't hang out to interview or anything. But I just kept thinking nobody is going to see this because they did it the right way ... that doesn't seem fair. ... so I taped some of it. (Nobody is gonna see it now either, but at least the could :-P ) I don't claim this video to be of any great importance, but I had fun filming and releasing it knowing it would be completely ignored by the news. :-P And so I offer it up if you're interested in seeing that sort of thing. ( http://www.DavidMeade.com ) If you watch it, I apologize if I sound out of breath, but I was ... out of breath. Had some running to do to catch up with them. I'll not make the mistake of leaving the camera at the office again. (This protest was to encourage the impeachment of Bush. While I admit to smiling alot while watching them, my urge to video and share it was not driven by their message but by my belief that because they followed all the rules - and thus weren't going to get in trouble - it would be completely ignored by the mass media. I would have done the same thing had they been on the other side of the political fence.) - Dave -- http://www.DavidMeade.com Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Get Bzzzy! (real tools to help you find a job).

I guess the biggest problem then is that vlogdir.com doesn't recognize these H.264 files of mine for some reason even though they seem to be mime type. Any clues? Well vlogdir is working ok. It's your feed that has the problem. Your very first .mov works but after that only your .mpg vids are getting an enclosures (none of the .mov files are). I don't know much about feedburner (I dont use it myself), maybe someone here can offer some feedburner advice. I dont think the actual encoding will matter at all as far as the feed goes. I'm pretty sure it only matters that the file extension have an appropriate mime-type on the hosting server. Feedburner should then add the enclosure and let the viewer worry about codecs. All of your mime-types seem ok. You can check that with the lil' test page I made if you want: http://davidmeade.com/resources/mime_test.php For example your very first video is a .mov and returns video/quicktime as the mime-type and your most recent is a .mov and returns the same thing ... but for some reason it's not being enclosed. ... odd. I'll keep pondering ... but I have a feeling you may have to mess with feedburner settings or something. - Dave -- http://www.DavidMeade.com Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Get Bzzzy!

Re: [videoblogging] Embedding videos on external sites?
hmm ... maybe you could get them to add a subscription button on their page that lets their users subscribe to your feed. I mean if their viewers would enjoy them so much it seems like something they might actually like to offer their users. With that and your URL included in the video ... might be ok. If it were me, I'd like a link back to my site on any of the video pages, and a way for thier audiance to subscribe to my videos that they are enjoying so much. - Dave http://www.davidmeade.com On 11/8/05, LeanBackVids.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Our recently released ski/snowboard vlog has been getting some good exposure from a single Northwest community site.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Does size matter?
I try to keep mine as small as possible just out of courtesy to viewers who are syncing up a large list of feeds to portable devices like the iPod or PSP. Thankfully in most cases, those devices are now coming with very large capacity. The PSP however still has fairly limited storage – but none the less people are using the new PSP media management software to subscribe and sync up vlogs. I think the best way to judge it is to have in mind a video quality standard you want to maintain and then do everything you can on filesize at that quality. I'm still having a few troubles finding a nice middle ground. 20-25MB seems pretty standard, I think … though I have gotten nice clips in the 10-15 range … - Dave http://www.davidmeade.com On 11/8/05, Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The main thing is length not file size.

Re: [videoblogging] Approximating subscribers
I created a system to track / estimate subscribers on my site. I still consider it testing, but I think it works pretty good. I dont use log files however. Rather than parse log files, I wrote a few php functions that are called each time the feed is acccessed. It then writes (or updates) a record of the request to the databse. I have another table of rules that the system checks these requests against to determine how it should record/count the feed request. You could do this with the raw logs though I would think ... so long as you have a script that has read access to them. I'd assume you'd have to read each line in and break it apart with greps. I like my setup so far because its light weight but really flexible. You'll probably want some logic other than just IPs. (I've found that sometimes IP doesnt matter at all, sometimes its the only thing that really matters.) Having some table/list of rules lets you apply pretty good logic to whats recorded and how it's counted; for example some user agents (such as bloglines) include in their agent string the number of subscribers they have for your feed. If the user-agent is a known bot, I dont care what it's IP address is - I set its ip to Any (so that it will match future requests by this bot) and set subscriber count = 0. I record all sorts of stuff for each request, but the main fields I use for 'counting' are http-user-agent, ip-address, timestamp, subscriber count. I'm still tweaking my system, but I think it's fairly accurate. I have a link on my site (that only I can see) that I can click to get all the details of all currently counted subscribers ... and when I go over it 9 times out of 10 it all looks pretty good. Once in a while a new bot will pop up or something ... so I just go and adjust the rules as needed to ensure it's appropriately taken care of. ... not sure if that helps or not ... - Dave On 11/11/05, Adam Quirk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anyone know how to approximate subscribers like Feedburner does?I assume it counts each time a unique IP address accesses the feed.Anyone know how to do that with a raw log file?I use AW Stats, and there no way to determine who is accessing what from their interface.
