Aaargh. I loved the one Flashmeeting that I joined during videoblogging week while my wife was away. But I'm never going to be able to join it again. At 1am on Tuesday/Wednesday it's just too late for me and at 5pm on Saturdays, I'm always busy with family things. Joining a video chat

Waz, What are your carefully crafted settings? I have *never* used the crappy Export to iPod option with its lack of customization. But using either custom H264, MP4 or 3ivx settings, all my videos have synced fine with my iPod. If you can say what your settings are, I'll compare with what

Hi Videobloggers, I've been lurking on this list for YEARS, ever since I saw the third episode of Rocketboom way back in the pre-YouTube days. I'm proud to report that I finally finally finally joined the cool kids and launched a videoblog of my own a few weeks back. It's called Water Words

Anybody using a digital camera that shoots more than 30fps? Preferably 120fps or higher? Ever since watching 300 @ the IMAX, I've been interested in smooth slow motion. The more fps, the smoother it looks when you speed-change the video, so for instance 25% speed on a clip going 120fps still

Guys guys guys, Are you really content with imposing such a bloated file format on your viewers? Does 120MB for a 10-minute episode seem reasonable, for example? Not to me it doesn't, when it's about six times the size of what I've been putting out so far - and when my source videos aren't

I have not used Export to iPod either, for the same reason. My custom settings have worked fine for 320x240; it's the change to 640x480 that is the problem. In short, in QT Pro you can't do a customised file at these dimensions that will work on the iPod - because it requires the use of the

Oops that was supposed to read 'for 10 minutes footage'. Also when it comes to whats 'fair' for viewers I certainly think its unfair that there is so much dedication to providing compatibiltiy with Apple devices compared with many other devices. So for example I will report back when the XBox360

Mike, File size is the clincher. If you guys can find a way of letting the user tweak bitrate and other params, while still having 640x480 H.264 that works on both Apple Telly and the iPod, you are on a winner. Waz --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Mike Hudack [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Why exactly is it that you're worried about file size? If you're talking about a 120mb file, and it's a 10-minute episode, it's NOT going to take 10 minutes to download the 120 megs, so there's no significant loss in the viewer's quality of experience. Are you concerned that the file won't play

Bill, it all depends on the speed of your internet connection, now doesn't it? The fact is I _am_ concerned about file size, and the bandwidth consumption imposed on viewers. And I also want to have control over the parameters of an exported file. Whereas you don't see the issue. So there's
