Huge fan of music.podshow.com. But it could be clearer. They don't tell you what license the material is published under. I sent them an email one time asking for clarification. I asked, can I use this in a video that will have advertising associated with it? They said something tantamount to uh ... yeah ... go ahead.

Re: [videoblogging] history
It is truely unbelieveable how fast it's moved. On the other hand, I was just watching bill gates on charlie rose about how he dropped out of school because they thought they had to leap on the computing thing. This is not a boast, I think I can modestly say the videoblogging group is definitely the homebrew computer club of this little revolution in media. Which makes me think of mocking bill gates Who in their write mind can spend their time shooting and editing videos simply to give them away for free! Is it right that you spend so much time editing and people should just pass your videos around on the web!? How can we attract the best media makers if all people's efforts going in to making media are just passed around without them receiving any payment! Hopefully more than a few of you geeks have heard of bill gates now infamous letter to the homebrew computer club regarding the very uncool free sharing of software.

On 1/30/07, Mike Hudack [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I don't believe that contests necessarily have to be zero-sum. If there's adequate promotional opportunity for all participants (or at least those participants who have something of a quality entry) they can avoid being truly zero sum games. You may be right. In fact this reminds me of Current TV. As Rushkoff said they missed a real opportunity to do something revolutionary. THey sold the hype of a grassroots network... and they could have given people a platform to have their voices heard by encouraging them to create their own channels... but they didn't. In the end they just said email us your videos... which IS a zero sum game because 99% of the content would never ever, ever be seen. Ultimately what rushkff was talking about would have been a TV network that rested on top of a giant network of home made media pretty much like youtube. Current TV would have had the licenscing rights to all videos hosted on their site... and kids would have had much more incentive to post their videos because even if current tv only showed a tiny percentage of them on TV the community could have enjoyed each others media. Ironicly youtube is thinking of doing a TV station... so YES you could definitely say Current TV missed a major opportunity. A huge loss of vision. So... this pulver media thing... it is by no means evil... and it's not zero sum... network 2 is encouraging you to use your voice... and I don't think it's to much to ask have them tagged something so they can be tracked... but I just have one suggestion. Network2 should STOP emailing people! It's the prefered method of spammers... I think it's definitely one of the things that immediately sets people off maybe not as much with this promotion... but making a first introduction and request... of course that puts people off... it's the same way all fishing scams work. So network2 has to establish more trust... and secondly... jeff pulver hasn't been that active here... and he's making big heavy handed moves... this is a space defined by grass roots, the only other giveaway was Dabble gave away some shuffles... it's based on mutual respect not advertising and promotional gimickry. So... more participation... less heavy handed moves, less old school obvious marketing moves... and more respect and simple honest appeal would help soften the mood.

Contests do have a way of picking a winner, which makes them a zero sum game, as Covey calls it. What do I value? Participation. I love community when it is positive. (It's a personal flaw of mine that I don't do negative very well. Yes, I know discourse is healthy. I am trying to learn how to better manage it.) To me, not as someone from Network2, but just me, participation is what this means. Is it marketing for Network2? Hell yes. But consider these two scenarios: 1.) Old way: pay people to pretend to be videobloggers. 2.) New way: ask videobloggers and producers to make it themselves. Recently, Robert Scoble took crap for making a video about Intel. My very personal opinion is that I'd rather watch Robert's interview than yet another ad showing a sterile room with flashing neon graphics. Robert asked questions, showed us things, got a voice. Participation. Yes, there's marketing. Yes, there's a competition. But in another way, it's a chance for a couple hundred people to show themselves, should they choose to do so. Another cool thing about the Internet over traditional broadcasting: we want to show them all. Oh! Important: Steve Elbows mentioned something about negative or parody ads. I think those are fine, too. Remember the GM thing? Well, we're not selling a product. We're selling an idea. You want to sh!t on the idea of watching Internet TV? Cool. Have a blast! You want to sh!t on Network2, that it's not [good/right/useful/pretty], that's cool too. That's the best part of this two-way communication medium. You can raise your voice. Will we FEATURE it? Maybe not. But we'll watch it for sure. And you control the broadcast of it, so you can host it wherever. So, if you want to post negative or parody, that's okay, too. I value participation. That's what was behind PodCamp. That's what's behind the projects I spend my time on. That's where I go when I'm not with my family (meetups and the like).

Cheers for responding :) What I mean is that services like youtube arent just cc-incompatible because they wont show license info, but because a fundamental right granted by creative commons is that people are allowed to download, redistribute, rehost, etc, the content, just so long as the other terms are adhered to. I brought this up once ofr twice before, because when I reviewed creative commons site it reminded me that this is one of the main points of creative commons in the first place. They are against stuff like DRM and preventing people downloading, because this takes away rights that the license is giving to people.

[videoblogging] Re: MyHeavy and Magnify and aggregators in general
I know what you mean, and its logical on one level. But on the otherhand Im sure there is rather a lot of material that is copyrighted, being distributed via RSS and other methods. For example if I download a podcast from the BBC, its still copyrighted by the BBC. They have chosen how the distribution mechanism works, and that I am allowed to download it etc. But its still copyrighted by them, if I tried to actually redistribute the file by hosting it elsewhere, by playing it on another radio station or selling it on CD, they could throw the book at me. I think it boils down to longstanding arguments and confusions on the internet about what 'distribution' and 'copying' really mean. The web blurred the issue slightly, are we really saying that if someone embeds a blip video on their site, they are rehosting and redistributing it, when in fact the actual media is still on the original server? The way I see it, embedding, hotlinking etc content, is more akin to 'public performance' of a work, than redistributing it. But what I think isnt at all the same as whats law, I dunno, it gets a bit messy. What I am reasonably sure of is that choosing to distribute something in a relatively open way, is not incompatible with attaching copyright to your work. The BBC let me videotape stuff off the telly and technically keep it for a fixed amount of time, and this doesnt harm their ability to claim damages from people who abuse their copyright on the same material, doesnt give me the right to sell that video etc. Cheers Steve Elbows --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Mike Meiser [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It's unproven in court so far as I know... but yes... maybe putting your media in RSS has some implications as for your copy rights. BTW, there's really no conflict at all with RSS and the creative commons licensces, which is exactly the point. The creative commons licensces were fundamentally designed to say heh, copyright law is defective in this new metaverse, it conflicts with the new reality that everything must be copied. I'd personally love to see an RSS feed with the copyright labeled as all rights reserved this would seem an absolute contradiction of syndication which fundamentally requires copying and redistribution.

[videoblogging] Re: Jeff Pulver
Well I agree that it seems wrong to criticise a company for sending out email - otherwise they are damned if they do and damned if they dont, previous complaints were about them not talking to people! How the email is written, the tone etc, is how Id see it, rather than whether sending email is wrong per se. AS for the negativity of the group etc, welcome to the internet! Im certainly very guilty of mostly talking negatively, usually because if something is OK, I dont usually feel the need to comment on it. Thats no justification, just an explanation. Since the early days of the group, many have wished for more discusion of content, etc. A seperate group was even setup for this, but all the offshoot groups have failed to maintain much discusion at all. The reasons are probably varied - sometimes its easier to make content than to talk about it (not for me though lol), people let the content speak for itself. The whole negativity thing is also seen a lot with comments on people blogs, videos, etc. It seems that getting annoyed or disproving of something can be a greater source of motivation for people to share their thoughts, than positive stuff. A shame, not 100% true, dunno how to change it. Even if we did talk about content more, it can get even more sensitive. A lot of opeople opinions on content also boils down to 'I think this is crap', and as people are understandably a bit sensitive about their work, it can cause even more bad vibes. Can you point me to some forums, messageboards, groups or other stuff that is a shining example of a more balanced, less moany bitchy balance of things? Because its unfortunately my experience that this isnt something unique to this group. Indeed the phenomenon of negative text communication on the net is one of the many reasons some people were attracted to video in the first place! Youve done nothing wrong and noboy is going to unsubscribe you. You can of course unsubscribe yourself if you cant stand to be here. The middle way is to set the yahoo options so that you dont get emails, but rather you can read just the stuff you choose by looking at this group throught he yahoo web interface, where you can also view messages grouped by subject, thus making it very easy to avoid whole threads of coversation that dont appeal.

I really must get better at not allowing music to play in the background in our pieces. It is so hard though. We always have music on. Then of course there is the issue of capturing someone's discdog routine on video and posting it. One part history and capturing a public event and one part copyright. I'd like to think that the interests of people (history and public venue) would outweigh the interests of profit (copyright), but we all know what's important in our society. I am going to be checking out ccmixter. Maybe I can run into Lucas there and apologize for the verbal beating i gave him before I understood where he was going (I really got hosed on that email lag - totally out of context 24 hours later...). ron On Jan 31, 2007, at 2:30 AM, Deirdre Straughan wrote: I've used Magnatune, giving credit as they require.

-Original Message- From: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jay dedman Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2007 12:56 AM To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [videoblogging] Re: videoronk our cc licences I don't think the issue is advertising. If it was there wouldn't be an issue since ads with video is now fairly commoditized technology. I think the bigger issue is credit and respect for the terms of the cc license itself, which can put restrictions on commercial use and require proper attribution. In terms of videoronk my concern is that credit is given to blip but not to the content creator. mike, tech question: in Blip's feed...does it show the permalink of the Blip page with my video? does it list that I am the creator and my website URL? Yes, all of that information is in the feed. It includes the permalink to the post on blip in the item:link element, and also includes special metadata that's presently unique to blip for credit. Here's an example from a random video I picked on blip: blip:userthatphoneguy/blip:user blip:show30 Seconds with Phone Guy/blip:show blip:showpagehttp://thatphoneguy.blip.tv//blip:showpage blip:picturehttp://blip.tv/uploadedFiles/user_photo_thatphoneguy746.jp g/blip:picture So that tells the aggregator that the video is from the 30 Seconds with Phone Guy series, which can be found at http://thatphoneguy.blip.tv/. It even gives the aggregator a picture that can be used to represent the series, which can be found at http://blip.tv/uploadedFiles/user_photo_thatphoneguy746.jpg. We'd love to use standard elements for these pieces of metadata, but they don't exist yet -- we're including them in our own namespace right now so that our formal partners can pick up and use the data for attribution purposes.

How the email is written, the tone etc, is how Id see it, rather than whether sending email is wrong per se. AS for the negativity of the group etc, welcome to the internet! Im certainly very guilty of mostly talking negatively, usually because if something is OK, I dont usually feel the need to comment on it. Thats no justification, just an explanation. Since the early days of the group, many have wished for more discusion of content, etc. A seperate group was even setup for this, but all the offshoot groups have failed to maintain much discusion at all. The reasons are probably varied - sometimes its easier to make content than to talk about it (not for me though lol), people let the content speak for itself. The whole negativity thing is also seen a lot with comments on people blogs, videos, etc. It seems that getting annoyed or disproving of something can be a greater source of motivation for people to share their thoughts, than positive stuff. A shame, not 100% true, dunno how to change it. Even if we did talk about content more, it can get even more sensitive. A lot of opeople opinions on content also boils down to 'I think this is crap', and as people are understandably a bit sensitive about their work, it can cause even more bad vibes. Can you point me to some forums, messageboards, groups or other stuff that is a shining example of a more balanced, less moany bitchy balance of things? Because its unfortunately my experience that this isnt something unique to this group. Indeed the phenomenon of negative text communication on the net is one of the many reasons some people were attracted to video in the first place! Youve done nothing wrong and noboy is going to unsubscribe you. You can of course unsubscribe yourself if you cant stand to be here. The middle way is to set the yahoo options so that you dont get emails, but rather you can read just the stuff you choose by looking at this group throught he yahoo web interface, where you can also view messages grouped by subject, thus making it very easy to avoid whole threads of coversation that dont appeal.

If you'd like to see more discussion of content or technique it is entirely within your power to provoke that discussion. Fair challenge, I'll take it up. As some of you may have read yesterday the reason for me subscribing to this group is that I'm on the organising commitee for www.BarCampUSA.org which is a 'mega' barcamp being held in Wisconsin in August (23rd to 26th) later this year. It is projected that over 5000+ people from around the world (I have friends/colleagues coming from as far as Australia, Singapore, India) are going to get together for 4 days straight 24 hours a day. The reason for reaching out yesterday to this group was to make video bloggers aware of this event because we have had an overwhelming response from the podcasting community (they already have about 10 different events scheduled over the course of the 4 days and will be organising a podshack etc as a communal point for all things podcast). Personally I wanted to see a lot more video related activities so I reached out yesterday to ask who wanted to take this project on, not important who but noteably it was the quiet achievers in the group who reached out and put their hand up to take on this project (i'm sure they are looking for more volunteers and creative ideas so contact me if you think you have what it takes). You're going to need to think big though. There are opportunities here to blow the roof off what people expectations of what a barcamp is. The 'entertainment' team are working on a schedule of artists that will forever define how off the wall barcamps really can be (personally I think they are raising the bar to a level that is never going to be cleared again). I'm personally working on a project to do nothing less than finally close the bridge between the raw buzz of barcamp and the VC community. http://www.barcampusa.org/wiki/index.php?title=SpeedPitchShootout As you may have noticed there is a whole heap of content on that wiki that hasn't gone live and been made public yet. With 5000+ people you owe it to this opportunity to think outside the square and really big. If you wanted to do anything to change the world what would it be? Like I said the challenge is there, it's up to you - if you want to make a difference you can. I know that sometime in the future I'm going to look back on The Woodstock of our generation and know that I made a difference. Cheers, Dean www.BarCampUSA.org

Unlike others who are treating user-generated content as advertising, PR or buzz marketing, the Ikea campaign is based on a very old marketing model: consumer promotion. The promotion, which is being hosted and managed by Shycast, any early stage company that is going public today with the Ikea campaign, is essentially a contest that offers $5,000 in cash to the user who creates the best online video on making a bed.

Go to your feed's troubleshootize page and click Resync Now. Check the feed in a different tab or window. Refresh the window three times. If the feed still looks wrong, go to the troubleshootize tab/window and click Resync Now again. Repeat until your feed looks the way you know it should look. This assumes that your original feed (the one that feedburner's reading from your site, the atom or the rss) looks the way it's supposed to. The goal is to keep clicking Resync Now until the two of them match up. After that, check your iTunes or Democracy or whatever your subscribers normally use and make sure it looks proper there as well.

[videoblogging] Thx and Canon PowerShot Elph series as video cam
Love the list, even if i can't always keep up. And thanks to everyone for the help with FCP settings. I'm researching tiny video cameras because my Canon SD400 is old. But it's so good at video with a low profile and the 640/15fps is surprisingly good. Everything here is from the 400, http://lrntv.blip.tv/ except the Tales of Grim which was minidv as original. But to get the point. The Xacti's looks good, and have a mic input, but I get the feeling it is too early to go there and my Canon will suffice for a bit more. I just want an Elph with a mic jack basically!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: copyright
You could, at least in theory, buy an ASCAP license. ASCAP is the organization which grants blanket music licenses to radio stations, night clubs, etc. This would allow you to legally use just about any recording in your podcast or vlog. The only problem is that ASCAP is really intended for revenue- generating businesses, and their minimum license is $288/year for online use.

Re: [videoblogging] joost invite (the venice project)
I was originally told they would allow user uploads but in recent weeks i have found out otherwise. Still, it's a great project to keep up on if your into TV... as someone who doesnt pay for TV besides netflix and my internet connection, i'm interested. Blip will probably partner with them as well. *Will you be soliciting user-generated video submissions? * No, that we will not do, for two reasons. We're all about the TV experience--full-length programming, full-screen viewing, and high quality not only in terms of entertainment value but in terms of resolution. All of our programming is put into channels and you never stop viewing something--there's always something following, as with TV. And replicating this TV experience has a lot of value to viewers. People spend a lot of time watching TV still, even though there are a lot of negative things about TV, such as you lock yourself into one location, you lock yourself in time, and there are limited interactive features. We take these TV features, bring them onto the Internet, and empower users with Internet technologies. That said, user-generated content does not really match the fundamental philosophy we have today about the TV experience. We are not in the business of small clips, short clips, and low resolution. And also there are the copyright infringement concerns with these self-uploading mechanisms. We have chosen not to enable that on the platform. That may change in the future when the two big factors--quality concerns and infringement concerns--are solved. That said, we will allow smaller production companies to upload. We're unlocking a huge mid-tail section of the content industry which does not have an outlet today. *What process will these small-scale video producers go through to get their content on Joost? * We have a manual startup process--you're in a dialogue with us and you sign a contract, so we have a personal relationship with everyone. Of course, that will not scale so we're automating that process. Due to the fact that different content providers use different formats, this is also an experimentation process for us and the entire content industry and how we'll go digital. Our quality desires are very very high--we are looking for higher-resolution and better quality media that we can transcode into a DVD-like experience on the Web.

[videoblogging] Re: anniversaries and awards [nsfw]
Congrats! This got me wondering when I first put up video on the web. I edited a music video for a local San Francisco Bay Area band, Dorothy's Melting, in July, 1996. I recently found a copy of the video I made and put it on my current vlog site, Cirne: http://www.cirne.com/vlog/2006/12/18/dorothys-melting/ I don't recall if I put it or other video ever on a website before 2001. But in 2000 was the 25th Anniversary of the student co-op I lived at during College at U.C. Berkeley called Lothlorien. I was talking with somneone I lived in the house about setting up a site for Lothlorien. The domain name Lothlorien was already taken (if you know you're Tolkein, it's the land of the elves.) But lothlorienhouse.org was available. So I setup the site, http://lothlorienhouse.org/ . Each elf clicked open a window for Photos, Chat, Discussion Board and on the far right for Video. I had made several Super-8 films when I lived at Lothlorien which I had transferred to video. I digitized some short sequences and put them up as quicktime movies: http://lothlorienhouse.org/loth_video78_79.html On the Internet Arhive WayBack Machine, they first appear on March 1, 2001 http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://lothlorienhouse.org http://tinyurl.com/29dref http://tinyurl.com/2aojpx So on March 1st, 2007 will be 6 years that I will have that video on the web ;) -- Enric -==- http://www.cirne.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Philip Clark [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi gang, Today is my fifth anniversary of putting video on a blog at swordfight.org.

That may change in the future when the two big factors--quality concerns and infringement concerns--are solved. That said, we will allow smaller production companies to upload. We're unlocking a huge mid-tail section of the content industry which does not have an outlet today. *What process will these small-scale video producers go through to get their content on Joost? * We have a manual startup process--you're in a dialogue with us and you sign a contract, so we have a personal relationship with everyone. Of course, that will not scale so we're automating that process. Due to the fact that different content providers use different formats, this is also an experimentation process for us and the entire content industry and how we'll go digital.

I personally use the DV codec which has to actually be _compressed_ to get down to mpeg-2 format to go onto a DVD. I also know of several videoblogs that are shot on HD, which is CLEARLY higher resolution than DVD. They seem to not be aware that there are people/groups shooting on professional cameras and editing on professional equipment that compress their output to 480x270 merely to place it on the internet. The original source footage could go straight to television or DVD, so resolution isn't a useful parameter for restricting UGC. The rest of it makes perfect sense. For them to offer you a contract, you have to prove to them that you can deliver content that they would put on their service. Not just once, either. :D You'd have to prove that you had the ability and concept(s) to continuously provide what they consider to be full-length (30 minutes minus commercials?), quality content with high production values. They're not going to accept people falling off of skateboards @ 320x240x15fps. They're also not going to accept consecutive episodes of a cat playing with a ball of string. What they seem to have left out (and I know that was just an excerpt and not indicative of the entire scope of their project), is what television allots for the masses, which is public access television. ANYBODY can get a 30-minute slot on public access. If you're lucky, you might get a consecutive hour-long block. That's the tradeoff. No, you may not put anything on NBC, but here's MNN... feel free to express yourself there. I'm not aware of how tough, time consuming or money-draining it would be for them to make one channel that showed random material where people could submit their cat-videos and hope to get a time-slot. While we're on the subject, I thought that was what Current.TV was supposed to be, but I had the wrong idea. I didn't realize that people vote for videos and then depending on how many votes you get, you're CONSIDERED for going on the channel. It's still up to them to decide whether to put you on or not, even if you get a ton of greenlights. No cat-videos there, either. Anyway, depending on what Joost (supposedly pronounced Yost, like toast, according to a yet-unconfirmed statement) decides to do as far as mid-tail production companies, we may see some of the groups on

Re: [videoblogging] Re: joost invite (the venice project)
Good points, Bill. Joost (pronounced like juiced actually) is more likely thinking about the world of YouTube and most other clip sharing destinations and not so much the deeper efforts of videobloggers that can be found here and using services like blip.tv or youare.tv. That's why I mentioned the possibility of Blip brokering some deals for some of the blip hosted shows. Mid-tail or torso media has been the hot topic for several months now as being much more crucial to success for companies (like blip) that are seeing beyond the bend... and not getting wrapped with the current successes of clip sharing social sites like YouTube. Likewise, YouTube and others that got started as viral video and casual webcam hosting services are also gearing up to get in on the quality action of independent video makers. Joost is important because their software works very nicely from my testing and it will soon run on any platform even VOD and Game consoles technically. So it has the potential to penetrate all over the place giving a simple UI on top of a Fluid P2P video streaming experience. If Joost proves to maintain this great TV experience for net video, then they should be golden and everyone will want to channel their media through Joost. It would be basically beating Veoh at there game (and others). Joost has massive talent, money and infrastructure in place with no immediate risk of failing. It takes more than just a desktop app and a tie-in to bit-torrentesque tech and a website to really go far with this Internet Video stuff. You need to have cutting edge technology and a network to run it on... and some tight relationships with content providers. Page views will continue to matter not while we head into a similar market as the traditional TV broadcast medium becomes mirrored in this new net video medium. 320x240 is a preview, baby ;) sull On 1/31/07, Bill Cammack [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com videoblogging%40yahoogroups.com, sull [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was originally told they would allow user uploads but in recent weeks i have found out otherwise.

[videoblogging] vPIP 1.0 Beta now available !
This a major new release of vPIP. There's new features for people with different interests doing video on the web. Before that, vPIP now has it's own domain: http://vpip.org/ The old domain, http://utilities.cinegage.com/videos-playing-in-place/, informs of the changed domain. The documentation has been updated for the changes and a new page is available on using vPIP with Flash: http://vpip.org/home/playing-flash/ . Let me know of any errors in the docs. For HTML Newbies vPIP can now take all the a href=url to movie ../a links and make them work immediately with vPIP. The nmew script vpipit.js will do that. All the installation instructions for different web platforms include vpipit.js. With this you don't need to figure out how to call the vPIP function (onclick=vPIPPlay(...)) in the link. This is similar to how Andreas' and David Meade's scripts automatically embed. NOTE: The downside to this approach is that the web page needs to fully load before the script sets all a href= links that it sees pointing to movies to embed with vPIP. If a viewer clicks on a link before the page finishes loading it will just jump to the movie rather than embed through vPIP. So it's recommended to use the standard approach of calling vPIP, if you want your movies to consistantly embed. For Designers - You may now design the visual interface of the vPIP internal Flash player, cirneViewer.swf. The visual interface for buttons like Play, Pause, Rewind, etc. are loaded dynamically from an XML file when the player starts. You can specify a different XML file than the default that points to your own images for the visual interface. The information on the XML file tags and the controls they dress up is on the vPIP page for Flash: http://vpip.org/home/playing-flash/ An example of the default interface included is on this recent vlog entry of mine: http://tinyurl.com/38lwb5 or http://www.cirne.com/vlog/2006/11/30/carp-caviar-extracts-122/ For Programmers --- vPIP has been rewritten as object-oriented javascript. This should make it easier to extend and modify vPIP for your own purposes. This is a first pass, so furthe encapsulation may be useful. If you create a new capability that would be useful for others, please let me know so that I can look at including it in a future release. If you would like to be a co-developer of vPIP, let me know. I'm going to look at including it in a open source repository. More Flash Player Features -- Besides being able to dynamically load the visual interface, there are now two versions of the internal flash player. The smaller version is 320x300 in size and will be used if the video width is 320 or less. This is the default width and player. If the video is larger than 320 in width, it will use the 450x340 player. About vPIP -- vPIP (video Playing In Place) dynamically embeds a link video after the viewer clicks on the link. Web pages load quickly with just image and text links. Then when the viewer clicks one of the links, it's replaced with the video. Clicking on another link closes the prior video and opens the new one. The supported video (and audio) formats are: * Quicktime o .mov o .mp4 o .mp3 (audio) o .smi or .smil o .3gp * Windows Media o .avi o .wmv o .asf o .wma (audio) * Flash o .swf o .flv ;), Enric -===- http://www.cirne.com http://www.cinegage.com

sorry for my ignorance, but what exactly does giving proper attribution mean when dealing with a film? Does that mean including the source at the end of the film? Some state feed back to the artist? is that the same as above? Not sure on this one. here's the exact wording: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/ Attribution.

So its confusing in the vlogging context when an aggregator site pulls videos from a feed...and loses connection with the creator. How will anyone know what kind of attribution you want? Lucas Gonze feels like its hopeless and futile to worry about any of this. Just make it...and put it out there. I still feel like its important we at least try to use Creative Commons effectively. we are at such an early stage...its just a matter of education and creating habits with online video. we dont need to be dummies like the MPAA/RIAA...but it's healthy to build respect and awareness for one another. Right now...I think the best thing to do is put your CC license IN your video. As Lucas says, expect your video to show up anywhere. if your CC license is IN your video, then it goes everywhere. Pick your license: http://creativecommons.org/about/licenses/meet-the-licenses Then we need to start making crazy, custom videos for them to add to our videos. Jay -- Here I am http://jaydedman.com

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Jeff Pulver
As some of you may have read yesterday the reason for me subscribing to this group is that I'm on the organising commitee for www.BarCampUSA.org which is a 'mega' barcamp being held in Wisconsin in August (23rd to 26th) later this year. It is projected that over 5000+ people from around the world (I have friends/colleagues coming from as far as Australia, Singapore, India) are going to get together for 4 days straight 24 hours a day. The reason for reaching out yesterday to this group was to make video bloggers aware of this event because we have had an overwhelming response from the podcasting community (they already have about 10 different events scheduled over the course of the 4 days and will be organising a podshack etc as a communal point for all things podcast). Personally I wanted to see a lot more video related activities so I reached out yesterday to ask who wanted to take this project on, not important who but noteably it was the quiet achievers in the group who reached out and put their hand up to take on this project (i'm sure they are looking for more volunteers and creative ideas so contact me if you think you have what it takes). here's the link to the Videoblogging section that Robyn started: http://www.barcampusa.org/wiki/index.php?title=Videoblogging Dean, what's the story behind the event? who are the organizers?

Re: [videoblogging] Re: videoronk our cc licences
Yes, all of that information is in the feed. It includes the permalink to the post on blip in the item:link element, and also includes special metadata that's presently unique to blip for credit. Here's an example from a random video I picked on blip: blip:userthatphoneguy/blip:user blip:show30 Seconds with Phone Guy/blip:show blip:showpagehttp://thatphoneguy.blip.tv//blip:showpage blip:picturehttp://blip.tv/uploadedFiles/user_photo_thatphoneguy746.jp g/blip:picture So that tells the aggregator that the video is from the 30 Seconds with Phone Guy series, which can be found at http://thatphoneguy.blip.tv/. It even gives the aggregator a picture that can be used to represent the series, which can be found at http://blip.tv/uploadedFiles/user_photo_thatphoneguy746.jpg. We'd love to use standard elements for these pieces of metadata, but they don't exist yet -- we're including them in our own namespace right now so that our formal partners can pick up and use the data for attribution purposes. okayso the info is all there if an aggregator site wants to read it and provide titles and links. I see Lucas' argument that its crazy for a vlogger to whine when his video is posted by another site.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Is Creative Commons just bullshit?
What I mean is that services like youtube arent just cc-incompatible because they wont show license info, but because a fundamental right granted by creative commons is that people are allowed to download, redistribute, rehost, etc, the content, just so long as the other terms are adhered to. I brought this up once ofr twice before, because when I reviewed creative commons site it reminded me that this is one of the main points of creative commons in the first place. They are against stuff like DRM and preventing people downloading, because this takes away rights that the license is giving to people. ive been pleasantly surprised to see how most people pretty quickly learn how to rip those flash videos on Youtube. Its definitely a barrier...but pretty small. Looking back...it made sense for Youtube to go with Flash. I remember when Steve Chen just launched YouTube and he came to one of our meet the vloggers at the Apple Store in NYC. I hated the flash format because you couldnt download the videoyou couldnt get the video in an enclosure.
