Re: [Videolib] Streaming media vendor list
Hello, I'm relatively new to this list (been lurking for a couple months) and have have found the discussions on streaming media really useful. I was wondering if some of you would care to comment on the quality of the streamed images. Our library is testing out some of the sites mentioned and I found the low-res streams to be watchable - especially for short-form content on a small device (phone, ipod etc.) - but the full-screen views I've tried so far are uniformly terrible. We don't have a bandwidth problem here, the stream itself is steady, so I'm inclined to think it's on the vendor side. The image is consistently blurry/fuzzy/cloudy, full of compression artifacts. I've tried looking at different types of content from different vendors and while there are slight variances there isn't one that I would watch in full-screen mode. But that's how I would *want *to watch it. Is it just me? How are people viewing streaming media and what do you or your users think about the quality of the image(s)? My apologies if this is something that has been discussed recently. Cheers, Carolyn -- Carolyn Faber Film and Media Technician Flaxman Library School of the Art Institute of Chicago 37 S.

Re: [Videolib] videolib Digest, Vol 48, Issue 55
Hi Carolyn and welcome, Film Ideas does have low res streams on its website that are painful to watch in full screen. We serve a broad constituency, many of whom share limited bandwidth with their colleagues. A high res file would buffer and make reviewing a program difficult. However, should you purchase a program from Film Ideas with digital rights (hosted by you or us) we would encode the file to your specs. Hope that helps, Bob Film Ideas, Inc. 308 North Wolf Road Wheeling, IL 60090 Phone: (847) 419-0255 Fax:(847) 419-8933 Email: i...@filmideas.com Web:www.filmideas.com www.FIChannels.com On Nov 22, 2011, at 9:55 AM, videolib-requ...@lists.berkeley.edu wrote: From: Carolyn S Faber cfa...@saic.edu Date: November 22, 2011 9:55:28 AM CST To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: Re: [Videolib] Streaming media vendor list Reply-To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Hello, I'm relatively new to this list (been lurking for a couple months) and have have found the discussions on streaming media really useful.

Re: [Videolib] Silent to Talkie
A footnote worthy of mention I think is the 1946 film Etoile sans lumiere - it the same general story as Singin' In the Rain but it's about the transition to sound in France.

[Videolib] Sci Fi films
That depends on how you define hard science fiction, and futurist of space-related Certainly several of my favorites come to mind: Blade Runner THX 1138 Perhaps those two are too obvious. Alphaville http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphaville_%28film%29 1984 (1984) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four_%28film%29 Not to be confused with the DREADFUL 1984 (1956) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_%281956_film%29 How about the almost impossible to find: Just Imagine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Imagine Creation of the Humanoids http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creation_of_the_Humanoids Really horrible production values but themes used again and again in other sci-fi films -deg -- deg farrelly Arizona State University P.O.
