What about all the other sites out there that are just taking peoples feed? Like blogtelevision.net, the last time I checked my feed was there along with porno.good quality stuff there I tell you..my point is with all of these sites popping up for every one that you know about there are probably 100 more just taking your feed, embedding it on their site and taking your stuff. At least Network2 and a few others are trying to reach out. Yes in a perfect world, opt-in would be the only way to go, but it's not and by the fact we have public feeds we will always run the risk of someone taking our stuff they link back and don't host which is a big deal to me..as for ads.well, need to think some more on that..

Re: [videoblogging] network2.tv spamming various forums?
And Pulver speaks of it, too. Evilvlog reportedhttp://www.evilvlog.com/?p=27 . http://pulverblog.pulver.com/archives/006117.html I don't begrudge the balls-out amoral excitement folks get once they figure the value of homemade motion picture content. Been there. It's frighteningly heady. Either Pulver and his crew will 'get it' or not. Why wouldn't these feed-aggregating folks want to share the wealth with their content creators? Why not? It will be greed that makes them keep everything to themselves. Had a conversation with Jen (one of our in-house social scientists) recently about greed. She says it comes from infant worry about having enough teet to eat. Makes sense on some gut level, that. Fact is, there's more than enough mama's milk, content, housing, meaningful work, energy and love for everybody. But until we understand that, there will be folks who hoard. Get over it.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: RSS as Relationship Tool
- I want it to be opt-in - I want prominent link to my site - I want a link to the post's permalink - I want a link to my feed (not the directory's feed of my stuff) - I want my work's license displayed I find this list of points to be spot on as the primary concerns. I think FireAnt, Network2 and vlogdir/vlogmap serve three different types of purposes and each can be treated differently with regards to these questions. I was just emailing with Jeff Pulver and it sounds like he previously had the foresight for exactly all of this and may have already changed some of it. As more and more online video content emerges, no one has yet surfaced as the entry point for online serial content besides iTunes which is not apt for democratic inclusively. I'm going to give the 'most likely to succeed' award in 2007 to Jeff Pulver and Chris Brogan with Network2, Video on the Net and Pod-camp, for having emerged basically just this year with these projects, shooting up overnight, and having the best of intents and heart (for I have gotten to know both this year and this last point is the very strongest quality behind everything). Before I hop off my support-wagon here, most importantly for all of us, I expect 2007 is going to require a major battle with Net Neutrality. This battle has already happened before when audio transmission over the internet had become democratized. On February 12, 2004, Mr. Pulver's petition for clarification declaring Free World Dial-up as an unregulated information service was granted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). . . Now referred to as the Pulver Order, the ruling provides important clarification that computer-to-computer VoIP service is not a telecommunications service. By doing this, the FCC delivered a strong signal to consumers and capital markets that the FCC is not interested in subjecting end-to-end IP Communications services to traditional voice telecommunications regulation under the Communications Act. In otherwords, having co-founded Vonage, Jeff fought to make sure stuff like Skype could be free. Even Apple voice chat and podcasting would have been at risk. With regards to tomorrow's internet, Pulver has been hot on the case and may be one of the best positioned people to help keep internet video transmission free as well.

[videoblogging] Re: Are You Recommending HD Cameras Yet?
Are you still watching videoblogs? Does it really matter that Galacticast (or, insert favorite vlog here) isn't HD? I completely agree that HD is beautiful, but I have yet to experience it at home day in and day out. But in the end, I personally am more interested in the content. I've heard some people say they could watch paint dry in HD. To which I say, go for it. I'm still pretty close to the tv industry - I own a software company that caters to it - and most of the projects are just now migrating to HD...and they're not shooting 1080p. We've had a difficult enough time trying to figure out production workflows with 720p and 1080i. I'm not sure how long it'll take to figure out and adopt 1080p. What I'm interested in is what happens in the next 3 years. The new thing being pitched is 1080p. The problem is, who's broadcasting it? Will all the networks agree to it as the standard? Some are using 720p, others 1080i. If they do agree, how long will it take them to switch? Finally, how does all of this play out with RSS as a challenger for a delivery mechanism? Negroponte (Meiser, thanks for the lead) refers to HD as 'stillborn' in being digital, URL: http://www.amazon.com/Being-Digital-Vintage- Nicholas-Negroponte/dp/0679762906 because of the speed of the television industry vs. the speed of the computer industry. He also discusses about an experiment by Russ Neuman where people viewed the same video, on the same equipment, where the only difference was the quality of the audio. His discovery? That the better audio changed people's perception that they were viewing a higher quality image. Personally, I've decided to keep my money in the bank until it all plays out. On a side note, I helped to produce a HD pilot for a major tv network in 2000 (it didn't get picked up). I remember how we marveled at the fact we could see raindrops on the windshield of a car, and could actually read the numbers on a police officer's badge. This is back when we were learning about producing using the new format, and found out about such issues as audio noise related to fans in the camera turning on after a certain period of time to help cool the CCDs. Try tracking that one down in the middle of a shoot! :-) On Dec 18, 2006, at 12:43 AM, videoblogging@yahoogroups.com wrote: Posted by: Robert Scoble [EMAIL PROTECTED] scobleizer Date: Sun Dec 17, 2006 5:22 pm ((PST)) You're right, of course.

There's a lot of stuff there that makes me cringe, but I've had experience with this one: Turn your editors and writers into television celebrities. How to include Internet television content to magazine, newspaper, and online media Websites. Traditional media Websites without video content will be obsolete overnight. It's true that online video is big in the magazine world, and it makes sense. I've made some cool videos for a magazine trying to make their editors into web personalities. Suffice to say, just because you're a good print editor doesn't mean you can be engaging in front of a camera. In fact the biggest mistake this particular magazine made at the outset was in trying to be... television. They finally realized that trying to look like TV was (a) way too expensive, and (b) ended up looking like bad television.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: RSS as Relationship Tool
I agree with almost everything Andrew says below, in spirit, (I say, in spirit, because I don't know Jeff Pulver or Chris Brogan), especially with respect to the importance of net-neutrality being central in 2007 ... However, one point I would disagree on - Andrew said ... As more and more online video content emerges, no one has yet surfaced as the entry point for online serial content besides iTunes which is not apt for democratic inclusively. I'm going to give the 'most likely to succeed' award in 2007 to Jeff Pulver and Chris Brogan with Network2 ... having the best of intents and heart Personally, I would substitute blip.tv for the Jeff Pulver and Chris Brogan with Network2 part IMHO ... Blip has the ideal philosophy with serialized content, based on the idea that blip is there to aid and facilitate the creator in disseminating in the widest and most open possible way, with no effort, on blip's part to own or brand the content as their own ... plus I have come to know a lot of the blip people well and I can't imagine than anyone else could beat the team at blip.tv in terms of having the best of intents and heart ...

I think FireAnt, Network2 and vlogdir/vlogmap serve three different types of purposes and each can be treated differently with regards to these questions. I was just emailing with Jeff Pulver and it sounds like he previously had the foresight for exactly all of this and may have already changed some of it. As more and more online video content emerges, no one has yet surfaced as the entry point for online serial content besides iTunes which is not apt for democratic inclusively. I'm going to give the 'most likely to succeed' award in 2007 to Jeff Pulver and Chris Brogan with Network2, Video on the Net and Pod-camp, for having emerged basically just this year with these projects, shooting up overnight, and having the best of intents and heart (for I have gotten to know both this year and this last point is the very strongest quality behind everything). Before I hop off my support-wagon here, most importantly for all of us, I expect 2007 is going to require a major battle with Net Neutrality. This battle has already happened before when audio transmission over the internet had become democratized. On February 12, 2004, Mr. Pulver's petition for clarification declaring Free World Dial-up as an unregulated information service was granted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). . . Now referred to as the Pulver Order, the ruling provides important clarification that computer-to-computer VoIP service is not a telecommunications service. By doing this, the FCC delivered a strong signal to consumers and capital markets that the FCC is not interested in subjecting end-to-end IP Communications services to traditional voice telecommunications regulation under the Communications Act. In otherwords, having co-founded Vonage, Jeff fought to make sure stuff like Skype could be free. Even Apple voice chat and podcasting would have been at risk. With regards to tomorrow's internet, Pulver has been hot on the case and may be one of the best positioned people to help keep internet video transmission free as well. On Dec 18, 2006, at 12:24 AM, Michael Verdi wrote: Here are my thoughts... The reality is there is money to be made in aggregating and presenting content. In other words it's a commercial use of people's content. Maybe a site doesn't have ads or even charges money for content but if they get lots of viewers because they have lots of content then, as we've seen with YouTube, they can be valuable. That's value built on the backs of others. Now I think if you opt-in to something that isn't displaying your license or linking to your permalink or is putting ads around your stuff than you've obviously agreed to that. No problem there. On the other hand, if like in the case of Network2, you have to opt-out then that's not cool at all. Some of my content is up there and I've never been asked about it. I have no agreement with them though they are, in my opinion, commercially using my content. Even if you could somehow argue that it wasn't a commercial use, they still aren't displaying the terms of my license. I also noticed while looking around that Fireant.tv has added ads to the page since I last checked. Not cool guys. There weren't any ads when I opted in.

Yeah I agree. As near as I can tell though, the service that most of the telcos are rolling out is a set-top box that just substitutes the cable part ot cable tv with a telco internet connection. The service and content they will(or are--in test markets) offer will be basically the same as what you get from digital cable--same old channels, same old content etc. I don't think that consumer media or micro media or video blogs are even on their radar.

[videoblogging] Network2 - Some Changes
So, we were working like crazy today to address concerns you've raised through here, EvilVlog, and in private emails. First, thank you. Thanks for your discussion, for your passion, for your interest in keeping the community strong and vibrant. I appreciate your conversation, your input, your thoughts on everything. It's been really good having more minds in the conversation. Collaboration can be very helpful. Here's what we've done today towards making it better: #1) Opt-In - We've posted that we're going to fix this. We'll move to opt-in, and we'll continue to reach out to people we've added, and make sure everyone's okay with our effort. We'll work fast on this. #2.) Permalinks - These fell off in the relaunch, but what we did today is even better, I feel. Check out this page as a sample: http://network2.tv/episode/2098608/ (an episode of Batman Geek) We've included a big fat Visit Website next to the show name. We display the Original Post, the Original Media, the Visit Website link again over to the right. We've put the original blog post underneath the video screen (though it looks like we have to tweak presentation- whoops), with yet another link to original post. We've removed the Comments field because it might be confused to be similar to a blog comments field, not a show review (what do you think of Batman Geek) field, as we'd intended. (We're open to better ideas how to work that field). If you think this is a step in the right direction, let me know. We're working our head off to make sure people's concerns are addressed, and that we're doing right by the majority of folks. (Can't please EVERYONE, but I sure don't want 2451 enemies). ONE NOTE: Our developers have the next two weeks off, after logging several 90+ hour weeks. The rework we've done today is all I can get through until they've had lots of beers and sand. Please bear with me on that. Best to you and yours, --Chris...

Well I feel their potential value for creators is along the publicity/promotion side of things at the moment (not knowing what future feature/services they may have planned). I have little doubt that there are many creators of episodic show stuff that can benefit from this stuff if its done the right way. Now unlike hosting services that stuff isnt a 100% necessity to actually being able to videoblog/whateverucallit, but if you look at the traditional media Ive long said that not all of their power is eroded by net delivery of content because 'people knwoing you exist' is still something mass media can achieve rather well. The net has its own technology-driven methods of making people aware of content, but traditional publicity is not irrelevant on the net (depending on your aims). With this in mind the actual value network2 can deliver to its partners will come down to how well a job they do of promoting the site and those who grace its guide. If I were a content producer Id care about how they did this as much as how sucessful they were, hence my concerns over the spam issue, but I dont doubt it can be a useful thing.

[videoblogging] Re: Network2 - Some Changes
Yes thanks for listening and, crucially, starting to act upon this debate. On the technical front the progress made so far is good. The 'show the persons license' issues I waffled about is one of the hardest things to fix straight away because there are some technical issues, and issues of many creators themselves not wanting to explode their brains by getting into the legal smallprint. So I wont be overly pushy on that one, as other parties need to help provide a solution to this stuff. On the persoanl relationship building opt-in front, I sincerely believe that both you and content creators can only gained by this change, who knows what opportunities may arise through an increased emphasis on this stuff at an earlier stage. s for that spam issue I raised that hasnt been responded to, I guess I will stop going on about that unless I see signs of it happening again. I run a forum and forum-spam is a plague, viral-marketing through genuine word-of-mouth is one thing, artificial recreation of this phenomenon is a terrible idea for any entity selling a real product/service.

Re: [videoblogging] Sundance in Second Life
No need to wait for Sundance, you can come watch some great original filmmakers today :) We've just launched an on-demand screening room for a few films by Brooklyn-based Fritz Donnelly. You can read all abou it at http://openvision.tv/blog/?p=111 The two films, *Double Mastermind* and *Clone War 3,* are two extremely unique and highly amusing shorts http://cruxy.com/tothehills. Both films happen in video game-like worlds with teams of characters battling out their shared destinies - not so different from some of the events during the recent clone war of Second Life http://www.secondlifeherald.com/slh/2006/11/clones_pwnd.html or the plots of the Battle Royal http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266308/ series of films from Japan. Bringing film and video into 3-d virtual worlds provides an experience that is much closer to real life than just watching a streaming video in a web browser. Through Second Life, Cruxy can provide a simulated screening room that brings back the feeling of watching a movie as part of an audience - complete with snide comments, communal laughs, and the occasional annoying guy walking in front of the screen. I've had the pleasure already of watching Fritz's films with a number of visitors from around the world, and really enjoyed being able to talk with them in realtime, while eating our sim-popcorn. SL also allows us to experiment with new forms of merchandising like handing out props and outfits worn in the films. That's my avatar, Nat Mandelbrot, in the clone orange jumpsuit doing my best imitation of Fritz' doomed characters.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Are You Recommending HD Cameras Yet?
Well said andreas. I love my $150 a520. It shoots video just fine and is one of the most popular camera's on Flickr. It's cheap, effective, I don't have to worry about destroying it because it doesn't cost much, and it's very portable and convienient so I can always cary it on me. Then again, those xacti's are looking pretty cool to... but I'll almost certainly stick with something a little more photog focused. The other thing about shooting on the cheap is it saves in other places too. Smaller videos are easier to edit and transcode, and take up less hard drive space and are therefore easier to manage. they also take less time to upload to your server, and use up less bandwidth. It also takes up less space on the Flash card so you can shoot more stuff and experiment more freely. The bottom line is cheap and dirty is more fun and easy. I read recently that something like 99% of all digital camera users never print their photos larger than 8x10 and most no larger than 5x7. Of which 2 megapixels is more than enough resolution. There was also an impromptu excersize, I think it was David Pogue where most people couldn't even tell the difference between a 3 megapixel image blown up poster size and an 11 megapixel. I'm a fan of the Faux Press way of doing things. When you're just communicating quick and dirty is always the best way to go. HD is vanity. But that just goes for communics... I think entertainment may require a different approach. On the other hand... some of these vlogs tend to be more like shows or minidocumentaries. For example... what I wouldn't give to see all Bill Streeter's minidocumentaries on the local St. Louis culture in HD. Roller derby girls, regional semi-professional wrestling, minidocs on local printmakers, musicans and artists. I guess my point is... whatever is... most of us are not profeesional photographers, most of us are not professional videographers... we're not shooting TV shows, or hollywood movies. Or photos won't be published as posters. I don't know what HD video camera's are going for, but you can now get an 8 megapixel camera for under $200. So 99% of us will never use this extra resolution in video or photo, but we spend dearly for it and it costs us in all areas from storage, to editing, to uploading time, to bandwidth... and for what reason. Sure there's a few people on this mailing list whom could consider HD, but it's a falacy. My suggestion would be screw that crap, go for the features. Go for a better optical zoom. Go for a higher ISO, better shooting at low light. Go for the ability to shoot more video and experiment more. Megapixels and definition are falacy. Finally... this is why I love the mobilvlogging and phenom... it is the epitome of the quick and dirty approach. It counteracts, is the antidote to, the falacy of HD and resolution. The tazer incident at UCLA (it was UCLA right?) illustrates this. I always liked that Jan of Faux press, one of the people among us who truely knows the value of fidelity and whom works on high budget films and documentaries uses as her everday instrament of vlogging a video phone. And it's exactly this approach I'd recommend. The old one two punch. :) Sure... for your studio work or professional go ahead and use HD cam, but just remember to leave that camera at home and carry around a cheap phone cam, or cheaper xacti, or some compact camera like any of the low end digital camera that shoot video. It's the content, that rules... the meat of the post, the words coming out of your mouth that contain the meaning... not that one can see the mole on your ear. Oh! One final suggestion. I've found that it's not the resolution it's the size of the stage, the footprint on the screen. I think there's a strong preference for video about 500pixels or more wide... but it has nothing to do with resolution. It has to do with sitting back a little from the screen and relaxing the eyes. Taking the average 320x240 video and embedding it at 500 pixels wide is a great trick. The eye cannot percieve every single pixel at 15 frames a second. I think this would be the most useful think I can recommend. My approach is more of usability and accessibility. So.. perhaps that helps. Or maybe it's just rambling. :) Peace, -Mike mefeedia.com mmeiser.com/blog On 12/17/06, Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 1) Shoot using the cheapest camera you can find. 2) Embrace compression artifacts. 3) Rejoice, send me a link and spend the money you save on things that actually matter (hint: it's not a green screen). - Andreas Den 18.12.2006 kl. 01:58 skrev Joshua Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Not completely on topic, but not off either.

a network can contain and present itself as a directory though. but yes, i see your point.

I think FireAnt, Network2 and vlogdir/vlogmap serve three different types of purposes and each can be treated differently with regards to these questions. I was just emailing with Jeff Pulver and it sounds like he previously had the foresight for exactly all of this and may have already changed some of it. As more and more online video content emerges, no one has yet surfaced as the entry point for online serial content besides iTunes which is not apt for democratic inclusively. I'm going to give the 'most likely to succeed' award in 2007 to Jeff Pulver and Chris Brogan with Network2, Video on the Net and Pod-camp, for having emerged basically just this year with these projects, shooting up overnight, and having the best of intents and heart (for I have gotten to know both this year and this last point is the very strongest quality behind everything). Before I hop off my support-wagon here, most importantly for all of us, I expect 2007 is going to require a major battle with Net Neutrality. This battle has already happened before when audio transmission over the internet had become democratized. On February 12, 2004, Mr. Pulver's petition for clarification declaring Free World Dial-up as an unregulated information service was granted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). . . Now referred to as the Pulver Order, the ruling provides important clarification that computer-to-computer VoIP service is not a telecommunications service. By doing this, the FCC delivered a strong signal to consumers and capital markets that the FCC is not interested in subjecting end-to-end IP Communications services to traditional voice telecommunications regulation under the Communications Act. In otherwords, having co-founded Vonage, Jeff fought to make sure stuff like Skype could be free. Even Apple voice chat and podcasting would have been at risk. With regards to tomorrow's internet, Pulver has been hot on the case and may be one of the best positioned people to help keep internet video transmission free as well.

[videoblogging] Hello and some assistance needed
Hi all - My name is Allen Stern and I run a couple of sites but the one that I am going to pose a question about is CenterNetworks (www.centernetworks.com). I currently do audio interviews but want to start to do video interviews in my travels to conferences and meetups. Right now I have a Logitech Quickcam fusion cam that I purchased about 6 months ago. While it does an ok job on my desktop, on my powerful (but no video card onboard) laptop, it really does a poor job. Since I am strapped for cash, can someone provide a decent solution for someone just starting out in video interview blogging? I would prefer something that is easy to travel with.

[videoblogging] MySpace Suicide Note
Hi All, Today I came across a teen who had written a suicide note on MySpace: http://flickr.com/photos/karmagrrrl/326204445/?#comment72157594427411558 At first, I thought it was a joke - just a teen looking for attention. But when I clicked on his profile and read some of his blog posts, I began to realize that it may be real after all. It turned out it was real. And he was overdosing on pills. Rick Rey, a fellow videoblogger, called the school and the authorities handled it from there. Just a few moments ago I received an email from one of his friends saying the kid was alive and holding on in the hospital. My question is... What should the protocol be in instances like these? You see a suicide note on a social network site and you feel completely helpless. Luckily, Rick scanned the page enough to notice the school info, but what if there had been none? I feel like there should be a little box on all these social networks that say in case of fire, break glass. A red button of sorts. But is that getting into a whole gray area? How does one ensure that young people are physically safe? Can the buddy system/top eight be more useful when things like this happen? Is there an alarm? Just thinking out loud. Thoughts?

Just a little point and shoot photo camera that also shoots video will do the trick for $200 bucks or so along with a decent sized memory card (say 1 gig) for another 30 bucks or so. I haven't bought one lately, so I can't recommend a particular one. Anyone else? Just make sure it has a mode that shoots 640x480. Even if you reduce the dimensions of the final output, it'll look better if you shoot it in higher resolution. The main limitation on a point and shoot photo camera for video is the audio from the built in speakers will be kind of weak.

[videoblogging] Re: MySpace Suicide Note
I think the protocol is exactly what you did and Rick did. It was the adult thing to do. There may have been other teens that read that note and didn't know what to do. Let's play it the other way, it could have be a hoax or cry for help. The kid would have gotten a minor boost out of it but then would have caught hell from others who'd want to know why did he post the message. There was no loss to your actions either way. A panic button would only make it a game to some and an annoyance to whoever is responsible to monitor millions of blog pages. Teens are impervious to danger (of all kinds) until their world crashes around them. Then they see only one way out. Education, compassion and more education can help. A lot of troubled kids need interventions on many levels. I don't think there is a technological answer to this one, just a blessed human one. His parents are thanking you and Rick beyond measure.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: RSS as Relationship Tool
Obviously you feel something is different here with Network2. Can you explain why you see this as different? -Verdi Sure, it all comes down to the people. The aggregator I complained about recently involved a guy who threatened to sue Rocketboom. This aggregator involves a guy who has reached out and offered to help Rocketboom, time and time again. I am certain that the only reason why Blip is doing well right now is because of the people. Thats what distinguished them. As I mentioned earlier, I have spent a lot of time with Chris and Jeff this year and after getting to know them and hearing about their vision, learning about their resources, and seeing the speed of their activity, Id say they have an extremely well funded, very experienced, super spirited outlook. -- I met Chris at Podcamp when he started it in Boston, where he and I first met Jeff. I then went to the on to meet up with Chris and Jeff on many other occasions and conferences this year. We have all been talking recently about sharing a studio space here in Manhattan as well. --- Im personally focused on creating more content right now but with regards to all of you this leads me to this thought, again: I've often said out loud to the various parties involved that it would be great to join Vlogmap and Vlogdir (directories), FireAnt (software ap) and Mefeedia (database) all together for a killer app, esp. because of the talents of the people involved that could be shared to develop the uber work. With Network2 (currently an online aggregator), Blip (hosting) and all of the extra stuff that each of these bring to the table, you would have a major indi-meregr of support. I realize its a crazy idea, but if I wasn't busy, I'd do more than just suggest it.

In the past you've written to this list about all the trouble you've had with sites that have sucked in the Rocketboom feed allowing people to watch episodes embeded in pages that kind of made it look as if Rocketboom had some relationship with the site.

Yes!?!?!
[videoblogging] Final Cut Pro Users
for some reason my 1st one didn't post right... so..let's try again. What are the detail of your setting for the video codecs, frame rate, audio codecs... ?? Everything.. Do you use the export with the compressor or Using Quicktime Conversion? To get more of the details of everything I'm talking about Ryan did an awesome video tutorial for compressing for ipods, in case you don't already know. here check http://www.freevlog.org/index.php/2006/12/13/screencast-h264-ipod-compression-from-imovie-and-final-cut-pro/ So after you see this video and post your reply I think this post will be a good reference for the newbies, you, and myself.. So I'm interested in to hear what you have to say.. Nick www.schmult.com

I have been using the Sanyo HD1A... The smallest video camera with HD.. To check out what it look like check my website and click on the Quicktime in High Definition.. or.. http://blip.tv/file/get/NickSchmidt-OhioStateVsIllinois420.MP4 http://blip.tv/file/get/NickSchmidt-OhioStateVsIllinoisPart2211.MP4 http://blip.tv/file/get/NickSchmidt-jLeman193.MP4 http://blip.tv/file/get/NickSchmidt-ParisHotelFountainEffielTower902.MP4 http://blip.tv/file/get/NickSchmidt-VegasStrip664.MP4 http://blip.tv/file/get/NickSchmidt-VegasStrip2598.MP4 I took these videos at a football game and while on my trip to vegas. I haven't done any personal videos yet, so all the HD videos I have are in this format.. Also can anyone tell me what settings they use for HD footage when they open a project in Final Cut Pro and what settings they use to keep it in HD when you export it? nick

Re: [videoblogging]
Hey Enric, Is there any way to make a link below my embedded video vPIP that would play a different filetype in place of the other? For instance: Set up the vPIP pic as mymovie.FLV and have a link underneath that would shift the target file to mymovie.MOV. I embed everything in my site in Flash so everyone can see it. I'd like as many people as possible to have people view my files in Quicktime though as the quality is just so much better. Really what I want is to have my cake and eat it too. Is there any way to do that? Is it an interesting idea for a future release? Thanks. Cheers, Ron Watson [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Re: [videoblogging] MySpace Suicide Note
Well done. Re. the panic button, isn't there some sort of hotline for reporting syspected sexual predators etc. ? That might be the fastest way to get MySpace's attention.

But when I clicked on his profile and read some of his blog posts, I began to realize that it may be real after all. It turned out it was real. And he was overdosing on pills. Rick Rey, a fellow videoblogger, called the school and the authorities handled it from there. Just a few moments ago I received an email from one of his friends saying the kid was alive and holding on in the hospital. My question is... What should the protocol be in instances like these? You see a suicide note on a social network site and you feel completely helpless. Luckily, Rick scanned the page enough to notice the school info, but what if there had been none? I feel like there should be a little box on all these social networks that say in case of fire, break glass. A red button of sorts. But is that getting into a whole gray area? How does one ensure that young people are physically safe? Can the buddy system/top eight be more useful when things like this happen? Is there an alarm? Just thinking out loud. Thoughts?
