[videoblogging] Re: Spirit can not be spoken for
One of the things I pinged the good folks about Podcast Pickle about was ratings based on a USER's favorite vlogs. While popularity and star systems have their place in certain cases, what's most important to me is how my favorites rank other vlogs. For example, what does Peter think is cool? I want to know. I want to look at his personal list of favorites, see how he ranks them. If I'm giving trust to Peter as a filter, then his rankings really really matter. To *me*. Two cents.

[videoblogging] Re: Initial iPod Compatibility Tests
I finally figured out how to return to Quicktime 6 on my G5 with Panther. I had upgraded to Quicktime 7 and the downgrade to Quicktime 6 didn't work correctly. I kept thinking if I had another OS installation, I could put Quicktime 6 on it. Then I thought, duhhh, I do have another OS -- OS 9. So I installed classic, downloaded Quicktime 6.03 for classic and installed 3ivx 4.5.1 for OS 9. So to test I exported from Final Cut Pro 4.5 as self contained quicktime movie the short film. I loaded that into Quictime 6.03 classic and exported using 3ivx. I got the old 3ivx menus and dual pass option for Limit data rate to __ KBytes/sec.

The problem with "links" is that they are to another complete set of vlogs. While many vloggers are consistently better than others, most of us are very "uneven" in the quality of our output.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Spirit can not be spoken for
It is not the actual "star rating" that is
revealing on Amazon. It is the text accompanying the rating. Someone
might give a book a "one-star" rating and in writing about the book say
something like "exposes like this one on the high rate of theft in Columbia do a
disservice to the country."
So, if you are planning to take a trip to Columbia,
you would take that "One-star" rating as a good reason to buy the book so as to
be aware of the dangers lurking for tourists.

I hope you will indulge me and look at these two
links. Randolfe implies some sort of rating on "importance".
(whatever that means). In the past I've read messages
on this list that seemed to prefer rating on "quality", "brevity",
"most personal", "most professional", "best editing", "most local",
"most entertaining" and as many other hard-to-define things as you can
think of. Take a look at the "star" ratings on Amazon (for
example) and see if you can guess what aspect the authors of the
ratings were considering. Now look at how the ratings
polarize. "Good" ratings vie with each other to get better. Bad ones
get worse. Few are left in the middle. It's a natural process.
Nobody has seen or read everything. So when you encounter something
you like, you give it a good rating. Then, a bit later, you encounter
something you like a bit better, or your opinions change, so you give
another item a higher rating. Then guess what, a bit later you find
something you like even more. So you have to give that an even better
rating. Soon, you find yourself giving everything you like top
marks. And the same effect happens at the bottom end of the scale.
There's always something you will dislike more. But fewer of these
ratings get published, for fear of hurting people's
feelings. Don't get me wrong. I'm wholeheartedly in favour of
reviews. The more description and evaluation and the broader the range
of reviewers and opinions the better, especially when they is
qualified ("I thought the camera work was very professional,
but I found myself skipping quickly through what seemed a dull
message. If you are looking for a short, punchy and exciting piece,
look elsewhere") But I feel quite strongly that attempting to
assign a single universal number to anything is deluding
Re: [videoblogging] Vlog Santa and The Ethiopians
Chuck, mnstories looks great. However, your description of that demonstration being "of Carter" was a bit misleading. They were just demonstrating to get Carter's attention and help. Your vlog Santa project sounds most interesting. One idea I would like to work on (feel free to steal it) would be to (1) go to a "Santa School" and vlog about how Santa's are taught; (2) follow a poor marginable Santa who is doing this because he needs the money and see how he reacts to rich kids demanding fancy toys and/or poor kids asking for things their parents couldn't afford, etc.; or (3) vlog Santas talking about the events of their day as they change out of their costumes or sit around drinking coffee, etc. I really like the idea of a vlog called "Santa Talk". That would be so fascinating.

Re: [videoblogging] Arabs Terrorize Faggots
I think of myself as a journalist. Rarely, do I do a vlog or story about an event I am personally and socially involved in. I made an exception for my latest episode: http://blip.tv/file/get/RandolfeWicker-ARABSTERRORIZEFAGGOTS997.mov i see youre going into the archives...video from 1991...cool. the title to this vlog is pretty sensationalthe guy just seemed like an asshole...being Arab didnt have much to do with it. It is a little over six minutes long. I wonder if it would have been wiser to make two three-minute vlogs? I just happened to have the camera on and filming when the violence and threats flared. It still leaves me shaking. i think youre th best judge of time. news keeps most stories to under 2 minutes long...so they can just touch on the high-points. longer pieces let you do more documentary style pices where i get to know who's in involved. i always watch my own work..and if i get bored...i start cutting.

[videoblogging] .m4v vs .mov (iPod test)
Hello ya'll. I just posted the following question to Michael Verdi, and thought I'd open it up to the forum: I made a DV movie and exported a self-contained quicktime version with all the original DV settings, except that I changed the size to 640x480. I opened it up in QT Pro, and exported as a MOVIE to iPOD (320x240). I ended up with the .m4v. But I changed the extension from .m4v to .mov. -- simply changing the number 4 to the letter 0, kind of a longwinded approach but I am curios if it will play on the iPod? Could you or anyone please check this .mov to see it it plays on the iPod? http://55broad.video.blip.tv/Civanyi-MissingPlacesH264iPodVersion908.mov chris www.cafesiena.blogspot.com Yahoo!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Spirit can not be spoken for
yep... i have this feature on vlogdir, partially activated. there are 'vlogmarks' (personal favorites),,, and i could make these publically viewable, just have not added that to the interface yet. by next week, it should be... along with other human filter/revlog features. since there is also a ratings system, the two are by default associated.also, anyone can leave comments/reviews since May on vlogdir... just a basic feature... could be enhanced with more input fields (as mefeedia has done) if i thought it would be used... but honestly, i feel most people just want to watch/subscribe/download/leave comments on the vlog, not nec add a review on the source directory... but that may very well change as the culture of consuming video evolves and the community/trust environments are matured. sullOn 11/27/05, Devlon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I like this idea.It's almost like the reviews, but shorter andeasier for me as a user to indicate that I liked a feed (instead oftyping up a review)Reviews are still great and very helpful.On 11/27/05, Eric Rice [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:One of the things I pinged the good folks about Podcast Pickle about was ratings based ona USER's favorite vlogs.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Spirit can not be spoken for
Absolutely. The trick is in presenting a user interface such that its easily understandable and usable, even though the underlying process is complex. In general, Amazon works pretty well. I am able to find stuff there and ascertin whether I want to buy it. There are a number of ways for me to analyze the item in order to make my purchase decision. There are also suggestions that help me compare things or determine if there might be another product I am interested in. Overall, it works fairly well and people seem to understand it. Using stars as ratings, or thumbs up/thumbs down, seems to be the general practice. There is also the implicit data gathered simply from user interaction and usage habits, i.e. what have you bought? what have you viewed? how long did you view something? etc... this data can be very useful. As to Randy's comment... user's do not vote so much with their mice as they do simply with their attention this attention may be provided explicitly in the form of feedback, ratings, reviews, tags, whatever, or implicitly simply through their interactions with the system. -Josh On 11/27/05, Markus Sandy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: great in theory perhaps, but what about practice? take amazon for example: the products are rated the reviewers are rated the ratings are rated! the shippers are rated did i leave anything out =) i have a degree in mathematics, but i still don't want to have to solve multi-variable word problems every time I buy something or worse, every time I want to watch a videoblog sometimes this is what turns one-click solutions into multi-page interviews asking you if you were satisfied with the customer satisfaction survey. perhaps this is all a holy grail and that it will always be necessary for individuals to sift the wheat from the chaff perhaps that is actually part of the process of videoblogging that steve garfield has put forth: watch, learn, create, teach Randolfe Wicker wrote: Very good point, Josh.

I think it is a problem with the firewall or something program that is preventing me from accessing the drive.

The implied axis of the rating is the accuracy of the review. Both the person assigning the rating and the person reading it have similar expectations. I'm still thinking about what I might consider an ideal rating system. At the moment, I think it might be something akin to tagging (so you can mark the axis of a rating with an arbitrrary keyword/phrase) and probably be _relative_ rather than _absolute_. Each reviewer should be able to add as many of these ratings as they feel the item needs. So I would hope to be able to say stuff like this video is funnier than that one, or the sound quality was worse than that other one. in some kind of machine-readable format. This should allow review authors to say exactly what they mean, and also allow review readers to sort/group by the factors they are actually interested in.

[videoblogging] help! want to change .mov to something else.
Okay I am working with Windows XP and I bought a Kodak easyshare camara that makes movies in QuickTime (.mov) Which of course means, I can't use Windows Movie Maker to edit my films... I saw a link I think on freevlog.com about using AVIDFREEDV..but I'm having serious issues with this program..It keeps on telling me Decomp buffer or something like that..and then I somehow managed to splice all the clips from thanksgiving dinner together only to save it and the quality is so poor you can't make out anyone's face. QUESTION: is there a way I can turn .mov to something that is supported by Windows Movie maker Any advice would be helpful..but at this point my income sources are very limited and I'm tryin to figure something out thats not going to cost me anything or at least very little.

Re: [videoblogging] Do you need Permission to VLOG People In Public? Release Forms? Stalking or Vlog
Hmm...that is rather tricky. While you are allowed to film in a public place (where this is not an invasion of privacy), you are filming a particular person and that does require permission. On the same token, paparazzis take celebrity pictures all the time and distribute it freely ( I suspect without permission but I'm not sure). I'm not very helpful am I?

The best way to do this is to video them before or after the performance giving you permission to use it in your VLOG. Apart from that you are taking your risks with whatever the laws are in your locality. Laws may or may not relate to Vlogging children, copyright performances, personal privacy, image rights (for celebrities etc.) and government installations, or if you cause a riot. If you are vlogging a performance on a public street then I think you should be OK, and most street artists would welcome the exposure. You have the option of turning it into a review, comment or report, in which case you would be protected by freedom of speech laws. Make sure you credit any performances, and tell people how to get in touch with the artist, and give the proper appreciation to the artists efforts, even if you don't like it. If you are in the USA applicable laws may be rather random depending on the State; in Europe ditto on the Country.

Newbie and first question: 3GP format - Re: [videoblogging] for the new people on this group
Dear Jay, Thank you very much for the nice welcome. We've had a lot of new people join in the last month. I want to first extend a welcome to you. I am one of the new members, but still in the phase of experimenting, i.e. I still do not have a really working vlog. But as an introduction to this group I made this vlog entry here: http://maxie-online.blogspot.com Well, one can see here is a real beginner ... :-) I have watched many of the videos that were posted in this group and see that the standards are very high. (Thank you all for sharing!) My question, of which I hope it is not too silly: At the moment I am trying and learning with what I have. (I know, I should have a real videocam, somewhen I will.) Anyway, I am not at all satisfied at the quality of the videos from my digital camera - a Fuji A 201 - and so I wanted to use the videos shot with my mobile (Motorola E1000), but they are in mobile format (3GP). I did not find anything via Google, so I am asking here: Is there any possibility to use 3GP files also for a web videolog? What program could I use to convert them into one of the usual web formats (SWF, WMV, MOV)? Is that possible at all? Kind regards from Berlin (Germany) Martina Yahoo!

[videoblogging] open vs closed, attention, trust
Hi all Feel like getting your brain wrapped around something more satisfying perhaps than how to conform to Apple's scheme for adding your content to an iPod? I stripped out the audio track from video we shot with Brad Templeton and Jerry Michalski, it's posted as an audio podcast (if you subscribe to my everything feed you it will have showed up this morning in your reader along with my vlogs) here: http://www.24x7.com/blog/2005-11/bradtempletonjerrymichalski/ The conversation, imho, is def interesting, they cover some of the issues we debate on this list and elsewhere such as DRM, attention and trust. Yeah, it's not a vlog entry but it's relevant so please don't shoot me, I was considering posting the video too but I think it works with just the audio. Perhaps download the podcast for your commute and come away with a fresh thought for a vlog post. I'm realising my taste buds these days are in search of vlogs that address societal issues, though I still enjoy little concept pieces like the Is this a dream clip ER posted earlier today and some of the personal ones (i.e., today's pick is Ryanne's mom's first vlog). Enjoy. It was a really fun and educational shoot down in Palo Alto with the two of them.

[videoblogging] NYTimes: As Corporate Ad Money Flows Their Way, Bloggers Risk Their Rebel Reputation
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/26/technology/26blog.html x-tad-bigger As Corporate Ad Money Flows Their Way, Bloggers Risk Their Rebel Reputation /x-tad-biggerx-tad-smaller /x-tad-smallerx-tad-biggerBy LOUISE STORY /x-tad-biggerx-tad-smallerPublished: November 26, 2005 /x-tad-smallerWhen Anita Campbell started her Web log about small-business trends two years ago, she thought it would simply be a service for her clients and help her consulting business grow. Instead, she said, the blog just took off, attracting more readers than she had dreamed of. Then, companies offered to pay her to post advertisements and product mentions on her site. There were enough offers, she said, that she could choose to work with only the ones relevant to her readers. And so, her blog, once just a marketing tool, became a money generator on its own. I never try to hide the fact that I am writing about an advertiser, she said in an e-mail statement. But I also don't apologize for accepting advertising, and I make it clear that just like everyone else I have to earn a living and pay the expenses of keeping the site going. After beginning as a vehicle for anti-establishment, noncommercial writers, many Web logs have laid out welcome mats for corporate America in the last couple of years. No one tracks how much advertising money is flowing to Web logs. Nor is it clear how many bloggers, like Ms. Campbell, disclose their sponsors. But when writers have not been completely open, their fellow bloggers have been quick to criticize. Businesses have noticed the growing readership and influence of these Internet postings and are spending $50 million to $100 million this year on blog advertising and marketing, said Charlene Li, an analyst at Forrester Research, a company that looks at the impact of technology on business and consumers. Recognizing that blogs have become more mainstream, companies are paying for advertisements or mentions on blogs, courting blog writers with public relations efforts and inviting writers to come blog on one of their corporate sites. The blogosphere, companies said, is an important place to have a presence, and blog writers are not shying away from the attention. The attitude has completely changed from where it was two years ago and even a year ago, said Jim Kukral, the publisher of ReveNews, a site about making money from Web logs. People have started to realize that, hey, this is fun; we've proven it's fun; I enjoy doing it; now let's apply a few advertising techniques and make some money. There is now an annual Blog Business Summit and several books on how to make money blogging. Many blog writers have signed up for Google's AdSense program, which started in 2003 and pays Web publishers based on how many times advertisements on their sites receive clicks. Google places the ads on participating Web sites using contextual word matching, in an attempt to ensure that the advertisements relate to the content on the page. Bloggers are also making money through affiliate networks, which, in contrast to Google's automated system, allow blog writers to choose which advertisements to put on their pages. They also can be paid based on how often ads on their sites lead to sales rather than how often the ads receive clicks. Shareasale, Commission Junction and LinkShare are three such network companies. You have all these self-publishers, people like the bloggers, who suddenly become business partners with Fortune 500 companies, said Heidi S. Messer, the president and chief operating officer of LinkShare, which connects Web writers with companies like Dell, Wal-Mart and Apple Computer. Sometimes blog writers make money by simply linking to companies' home pages. Companies come up higher in Google, Yahoo and other search engines when they are frequently linked to and mentioned on many sites, including blogs. USWeb, an online marketing firm, has run campaigns this year that pay people $5 to mention a company or link to its site. Most of the companies USWeb works with do not allow the company to identify them, said Ed Shull, the chief executive of USWeb, but some that he can mention include Lussori.com, a watch and jewelry company; Dot Flowers; and Terra Entertainment. Currently, USWeb is asking people with personal profile pages on myspaces.com, a social networking site, to include a trailer from Terra Entertainment's coming release of the film One Perfect Day on their pages. In exchange, these Web users will have their names listed on the end of the credits on the film's DVD, Mr. Shull said. USWeb has been criticized by some blog writers for not requiring its network of about 5,000 blog writers to disclose payments. It is currently completing guidelines on how bloggers should disclose that they were paid to mention products, Mr. Shull said. We are still leaving this as an option to bloggers, he said in an e-mail statement, but we do recommend that they disclose to readers that advertisers do
[videoblogging] Re: MPEG1 vs. MPEG4
I use a Sony still camera which shoots MPEG-1 at VGA 30fps. Basically Standard Def Video. The system works well with a few caveats. You need to convert the MPEG file to something more edit friendly (you'll need to do this regardless if it's MP4 or MP1) -- I just go for MiniDV. This is a less than realtime process on my Powerbook. The image quality is okay, but nothing amazing. For me the convenience of carrying the camera at all times trumps a little image quality and I would say it certainly rivals my old Canon ZR MiniDV camcorder. The camera iteself has some issues with finding focus and holding it, but in general it does an okay job. Also you can't Zoom during the recording process. I just leave it on the widest setting and go for it. MP4 is newer and more efficient than MP1, but a lot of the cameras out there don't support 30 fps, or are less than VGA. The cam I have is 5MP for stills and does about miniDV quality video and is small enough to carry around constantly.

Re: [videoblogging] Do you need Permission to VLOG People In Public? Release Forms? Stalking or Vlog
On the same token, paparazzis take celebrity pictures all the time and distribute it freely ( I suspect without permission but I'm not sure). There are different sets of rules regarding famous people -- actors, politicians etc, and everybody else. I can't remember the details about when those rules matter -- but its having something to do with defamation/ privacy / etc. (Any lawyers around who know). I do know it means there are legal definitions of who's considered a public person and who's not. So don't use what people do with images / video / information about celebrities as a guide for what you can do with everyday people -- the laws aren't necessarily the same. And of course, this is only about the US law. jen jenSimmons http://www.emergingawareness.org http://www.inclinationsthemovie.com http://www.jensimmons.comOn Nov 27, 2005, at 7:08 PM, Joan Khoo wrote: Yahoo!

Themes don't suit mypallete, you might say. Not for long, anyways.Or look at how Steve Garfield does it--sure, he has themes, but thereare many themes--CarolSteve, VlogSoup, multiple topics. So insteadof being stuck on one theme, you might instead call them...categories... where, if you were anal enough, you could make separatefeeds for each category of vlog post.Here's what Grammy thinks of themes... and, coincidentally, FireANT...http://www.kitykity.com/weblog.php/vlog/comments/2760/If all I had were two fans--my parents in Maine, and my in-laws inTexas--I would be happy.

I seem to havefifty additional feed-pings per day besides them, which while surethey could be duplicate people using different aggregators, is suremore than five additional non-relative people. So I have no theme,yet somehow I have some kind of audience, which seems to be growing byabout an average of five "pingers" a week.I'm not digging any deeper than this. I'm not out for an argument.

Re: [videoblogging] Thumbnail archive with videos only?

And I ran into trouble when I changed a post and mefeedia was stuck on the first version (which I'd deleted) and wouldn't take in the new information about the second version When Mefeedia misses a movie, it will get to it at some point in the future.. Right now, we're working on speeding that up. When you change a post, Mefeedia doesn't check it again right now. Basically, all those problems you mentioned are indeed problems, and we're working on them. It will take a while though, I hope to have fixes for these things by about March 2006. Sorry it will take so long! I hope to have the thumbnails speed up faster than that.. -- ~Devlon http://mefeedia.com/ See what we are up to: http://mefeedia.com/blog/ Yahoo!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: great post of police misbehavior
You can do whatever you like, that's one of the great things about vidoeblogging. Of course, if you want to reach a larger audience, you might want to create content with regards to that particular audience in mind. Also, don't get too hung up on stats. The longer you produce content, the more attention you will attract. That's just inevtiable. You'll get more links in various places, you'll make more connections in the blogosphere, etc. Just keep doing what you want to do and by golly you'll end up doing what you want to do. -Josh On 11/27/05, Randolfe Wicker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm wondering about following the lead of my vlogs.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: great post of police misbehavior
Sounds like a do we give the audience what they want or do we do what we want dilemma. Personally, I would do what I want regardless of the audience. I believe its all in how you present it. If you consistently deliver interesting topics, the audience have no choice but to follow you. There's not point delivering interesting topics if you have no enthusiasm to back it up.

[videoblogging] Quicktime Pro vs Windows Movie Maker
I've been using Windows Movie Maker for a while and am thinking of getting Quicktime Pro. Can anyone tell me which would they prefer to use and why. And what does Quicktime have that WMM don't?

Re: [videoblogging] Quicktime Pro vs Windows Movie Maker
Quicktime Pro is not really for editing, although you can use it for simple editing (copy and paste style, but not timeline based). Quicktime Pro is generally used for converting movie files and compressing them. You can also do some advanced stuff like add captioning and clickable links inside movies that you can't really do with WMV. -Josh On 11/27/05, Joan Khoo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've been using Windows Movie Maker for a while and am thinking of getting Quicktime Pro.
