[videoblogging] Re: Cheap DV Cams?
From everything I've heard and read, Gena is exactly right: if you can accept the limitations. From my intense investigations, the thing that sets the mini-cams (also called hybrids) apart from each other are: File format (MP4, AVI, MJPEG--maybe this is in the AVI wrapper, not sure) Card type (SD or CF) Battery (Rechargable Li-Ion, AA, AAA) FPS at highest resolution (some do only 10-15fps at 640x480) USB or not Video Out or not What I did was decide on memory card and power and connection, SD and AA and USB, then look at each product page (aiptek and mustek) and then go find the camera. The one I chose was supposedly available at CompUSA and Office Depot, but my local stores didn't stock it. So I ordered from Amazon. My reading indicates they can only accept 512MB cards maximum. Something about the ability to address the memory higher than that. I just ordered one for testing for my geographically-spread family use (Ages 8-68, mostly computer averse). Will also get a $25 bicycle mount eventually to try it as a okay if ruined by bugs or weather video cam. My goal is for family members to be able to post their unedited video to a common blog or file system for viewing by everyone else. My thought is that the easier this is, the more likely it will be done. Shoot; Connect; Transfer. The native video, I'm hoping, is easily viewable on each member's computer. For compatibility in my current setup, I am getting AA battery and SD card and USB. I hope the AA batteries will last much longer than the AAA versions (one hybrid camera is reported to work for 6 hours on one set of AA batteries, though I'm not getting that specific one). I expect to be able to use it at 320x240 which should be fine for most things. My biggest fear is indoor use, as indicated by Gena, but I should know in a week or two, mine (Aiptek DV4500) is coming via UPS as we speak (type). Expect to pay between US$80-US$150 for these mini hybrid cams. There are cheaper, but I haven't looked into the US$20-US$60 range based on my *assumption* that they would be even worse (and I'm not sure of their features). And at the higher end (above my price range) are the Panasonic Snap (approx US$200-US$250), Sanyo/Fisher Xacti C3/C4/C5 (US$400-$600), JVC Everio (US$700-US$800 includes 4G microdrive).

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Cheap DV Cams?
I know that a lot of these cameras are lets face it toys but I found one at my local Jessops Photography for £129 GB from NISIS it offers meg4 ,mp3, voice recorder and also a whacking 6.6megapixel picture taking facility. I think I have got a bargin, yes it won't be as good as a sony or panasonic but, hey at the end of the day all vlogging is essentially is putting a 320x240 moving image that isn't memory expensive onto the net. I'm not going to advertise myself to film your wedding, birth, funeral or conception, I will continue to make funny little videos of real people doing real things which is what it is all about. If you are looking at these go for one that has at least 30fps at 640x480 with sound. But check the machine out first, do not buy mail order or from a shop without playing with it first, I found a great deal at Argos, the Ion Director Classic for £99.99. However when I got it home, I had a problem with the up-down-left-right controller which also effected the zoom, well it would zoom in but the button was faulty and it would zoom out. I did take it back after a day of struggling, the white balance even on auto was all over the place but the picture quality was smooth and quite well defined when you played about with it a lot. This was one of the things I didn't like about it, due to the point and shoot nature of vlogging, the other was it felt like and was made like a toy, very thin plastic no substance to the way the button felt. My advice is, sort out how much you want to spend, hang out in photographic shops, don't go for what it says on the advert or box, remember the box is created for windows users not mac, play with it, look through the view finder or lcd, check how long it takes to adjust to the light, if possible take a 4-5 second shot and scrutinise the playback. If you can get the SAME product on the net, haggle with the saleman, if not buy on line and reap the results. I have changed to 640x48 from now on and we will see the reaction. please check out my 20fps at 320x240 efforts at http://pjkproductions.blogspot.com, then come back in October when I have got some new stuff. cheers On 28 Sep 2005, at 13:52, ecomputerd wrote: From everything I've heard and read, Gena is exactly right: if you can accept the limitations.

[videoblogging] Re: Video resolutions
Its come up a few times in the past. I like to talk about this sort of thing too much, I will try to summarize briefly (lol fat chance) Some people want higher quality versions, a lot of people dont seem to mind what theyve got already. The safe option is to offer both a 320x240ish one and a higher res one, I prefer native DV res of 720xWhatever(varies depending if you are NTSC or PAL) rather than 640x480. What bitrate are you using? This matters to people at least as much as res, because it determines filesize. Also if you use a higher res, interlacing issues will occur unless your camera records in a progressive mode. Doesnt show up on 320x240 stuff because halving the vertical resolution of the footage removes interlacing issues, but if you use a higher res, you'll need to deinterlace your footage, before you encode it (or dring encoding if your compression app supports it). Application support varies too, and we have yet to see how popular portable video is, and whether its worth, for example, encoding video to match the resolution that the psp can play (which is 320x240 and other similar low resolutions). Personally Im kitted up with widescreen HDV camera now, which is 1920x1080 interlaced. so when I get back to publishing videos, I will probably offer them in 2 sizes: 480x270 25fps h264 600kbits/sec 960x540 25fps h264 2000kbits/sec Theres not all that much agreement on this stuff, beyond 320x240 15fps. Its the same with framerate, I waffled on here that certain content would look better at 29.97 or 25 fps rather than 15, but it doesnt seem to worry most people. Certainly I can understand why most people only offer one format size of video, the publishing experience gets less 'bloggy' when you have too many extra steps to perform, becomes like hard work which only makes sense for certain people to do. Hopefully it will be taken care of to a certain extent in future by publishing services that automatically offer peoples video in various differrent formats sizes, but the progress to higher resolutions could be very slow for all I know. Im looking to rocketboom to make a great job of a higher quality version for subscribers, and thus demonstrate compelling reasons to bother with higher res. Theres certainly plenty of reasons not to bother with higher res or offering multiple versions, but Im a quality junkie so I cant help focussing on this stuff, to the detriment of me making any actual content lol. I am always happy to talk about these issues, anybody can feel free to contact me directly via email if they want to ever talk about any encoding, format, resolution, deinterlacing issues. I have some 960x540 h264 samples at: http://www.unquack.com/garden.mp4 http://www.unquack.com/garden50.mp4 The second one is 50fps, need a good machine and to play it in qucktime player, not in a browser, to get actual smooth 50fps. It was a test of best possible deinterlacing that creates 50fps progressive, and results in smoother camera pans (if you have something that can play the file properly). Its over the top to go through this procedure and do 50fps (or 60fps in NTSC) but it shows what kind of movement benefits from higher framerate. Cheers Steve of Elbows --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Richard Bennett-Forrest [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Since upgrading to Final Cut Pro 5, I've playing with Apple's Compressor application a bit, and I've found that it will compress H.264 better than the FCP5 export, sometimes a lot better. This is even after tuning the advanced options in FCP5, and I think its because Compressor does multiple passes and applies more logic to the compression. It takes much longer, but is way smaller. So much so that in my tests I was able to compress my standard H.264 320x240 videos down to a much smaller file size with roughly the same video quality, but at 480x320 and 640x480 resolution, depending on the content. Smaller file, same quality, larger resolution. Sounds good 'ey? I think we all standardised on 320x240 because it was a small file size and consistent with client windows in Ant and other apps. Which begs the question, are people happy with 320x240, or would a larger size be preferable? Would Ant choke on larger sizes? Would they be displayed at the larger size, or just be scaled to the 320x240 window? Same questions re the new iTunes video playback. With bandwidth exploding, I'm seriously considering upping my output resolution for roughly the same file size. Does anyone have any concerns or feedback on this?

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Tutorial: PC users- How to convert AVI to MOV using GraphEdit
Oh that's all well and good but for free you can download from apple.com D-Vision 3, it's a little tricky at first looks but dead easy once you've done it, and you'll probably end up kicking yourself as to how easy it works, first you give it the avi file then set it to take the video footage, then give it the same fila and get it to convert the audio to mp3 at 128kbps, then bang em both together and hey presto a fully functional avi mov. then download divx doctor II to flatten the quicktime and badda bing! a ovely MOV file, ready to load into imovie or straight on line, I made a mistake really paying for quicktime pro, but I wouldn't be without it now.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Videoblogging book is cancelled
You should think about making this into an ebook. Traditional books are great (I'm in the publishing business, so I like books, paper, print) but an ebook might be a better fit for this project. They can be edited easily, so they can be updated as the technology changes and it changes pretty fast. This would also mean there would still be a source of income which you all deserve. If you've got three quarters of the book written already it would not be that hard to convert it to an ebook. Check out what the TidBits people are doing with ebooks. I'm not sure, but I think an ebook could have hyperlinks and screencasts too. this is a case of easy come, easy go. they came to us...and we just started writing. now that we have a book written...we got to learn how to get it published. or the online project. this will take some work to figure out. jay -- Adventures in Videoblogging URL: http://www.momentshowing.net http://feeds.feedburner.com/Momentshowing Yahoo!

[videoblogging] Re: Are my videos visible?
I can see them, but I thik they are encoded using h264, which is only available with quacktime 7. So if there are people with quicktime 6 trying got watch your videos, or without quicktime at all, they probably cant. Its a shame, because h264 gives better quality. But its a question of how long to wait before offering h264 videos. So far most people have concluded it is too soon, or they dont like how long it takes to encode h264. People understandably dont want to have to tell all their visitors to download quicktime 7, but at some unknown point in the future it will generally be considered that most people can now play h264, and it becomes a better option. Anyway the easiest solution is to change a setting in quicktime so it uses mpeg4 rather than h264. Im pobably not the best person to give clear instructions on this though, I tend to waffle and tech too much.

Re: [videoblogging] Video resolutions
Jan mentioned something last weekend that I wouldn't have thought about: Once a hand-held camera shot (shaky) is blown up full screen, a lot of people are going to be puking. The shakiness is fine when it's a little window, but when it's all you see, people are liable to get sick. So for those doing hand-held shots who want to make full-screen an option, keep that in mind. You can make a steady-cam for $14 here. Although hauling that around with you everywhere you may want to shoot doesn't sound appealling. Personally, I like full-screen. It immerses you in the video. But some videos are just not suited for it. P.S. It's re-run week at Bullemhead. Thanks to Raymond for reminding me of my archive. I'll be recompressing old .WMV's into Quicktime, and also re-editing some old videos that could have been done much better, e.g. the post that's on top today.

From my intense investigations, the thing that sets the mini-cams (also called hybrids) apart from each other are: File format (MP4, AVI, MJPEG--maybe this is in the AVI wrapper, not sure) Card type (SD or CF) Battery (Rechargable Li-Ion, AA, AAA) FPS at highest resolution (some do only 10-15fps at 640x480) USB or not Video Out or not What I did was decide on memory card and power and connection, SD and AA and USB, then look at each product page (aiptek and mustek) and then go find the camera. The one I chose was supposedly available at CompUSA and Office Depot, but my local stores didn't stock it. So I ordered from Amazon. My reading indicates they can only accept 512MB cards maximum. Something about the ability to address the memory higher than that. I just ordered one for testing for my geographically-spread family use (Ages 8-68, mostly computer averse). Will also get a $25 bicycle mount eventually to try it as a okay if ruined by bugs or weather video cam. My goal is for family members to be able to post their unedited video to a common blog or file system for viewing by everyone else. My thought is that the easier this is, the more likely it will be done. Shoot; Connect; Transfer. The native video, I'm hoping, is easily viewable on each member's computer. For compatibility in my current setup, I am getting AA battery and SD card and USB. I hope the AA batteries will last much longer than the AAA versions (one hybrid camera is reported to work for 6 hours on one set of AA batteries, though I'm not getting that specific one). I expect to be able to use it at 320x240 which should be fine for most things. My biggest fear is indoor use, as indicated by Gena, but I should know in a week or two, mine (Aiptek DV4500) is coming via UPS as we speak (type). Expect to pay between US$80-US$150 for these mini hybrid cams. There are cheaper, but I haven't looked into the US$20-US$60 range based on my *assumption* that they would be even worse (and I'm not sure of their features). And at the higher end (above my price range) are the Panasonic Snap (approx US$200-US$250), Sanyo/Fisher Xacti C3/C4/C5 (US$400-$600), JVC Everio (US$700-US$800 includes 4G microdrive). I asked this exact question a few weeks ago. I hope you can benefit from my research.

I love my mcc but it can't zoom, the sound, unless the source audio is really loud, the tiny mic picks up the sound of the camcorder working.

[videoblogging] RE: Cheap DV Cams?
I have seen a few posts about cheap DV cams. There's a source for cameras that a lot of people don't consider. I have gotten a few cameras off Craigslist. See http://www.craigslist.org to see if they have a site for your area. A brand-new camera is expensive but you can find some real bargains at this site if you don't mind a used one. As for the cheap ones like you mentioned, they are cheap for a reason. The ones I have seen have poor image quality and usually poor sound as well. Analog is a pain but not undoable. I think it would be worth it to sock some money away for a few months to get a good one that is a step up from the $100 model. Good luck!

[videoblogging] With Vblogs why go to class???
From today's edition of Learning Trends... Dentist Students Experience Extreme Learning: A TRENDS reader, Melanie Abston from Detroit, sent this note to us about the Extreme Learning underway in Dentistry School: It started with a simple question -- first-year dental student Jared Van Ittersum wanted to know why all the lectures he attended weren't available electronically. Now, the University of Michigan School of Dentistry and Apple Computer Inc. are collaborating on a project that uses ITunes technology for academics. U-M Dentistry offers audio of large lecture classes posted online for download by registered U-M dental students, and uses RSS, a Web syndication method, to send instructional content to students automatically. John Couch, Apple's vice president for education, visited the School of Dentistry this month for a celebration of the program. Lynn Johnson, director of dentistry informatics and information technology, said the partnership represents a major shift in how technology is used in teaching. A demonstration showed a custom ITunes site for the dental school, offering lectures in a music store listing. Students who log in using a U-M identity can preview audio of a lecture, download an individual lecture or subscribe to the downloads for automated delivery to their computers and MP3 players. So my question is, why not go all the way with Vblogging?? gazza Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Get Bzzzy! (real tools to help you find a job).

Re: [videoblogging] With Vblogs why go to class???
This is horrible trend and a terrible way to use the technology. Education is more than the transmission of information. The trick is to not to think that the provision of a vidcast or audiocast can make lectrue material available for download and therefore perhaps eliminate the need to hire a lecturer for each session (we can just run the same material next year), for students to be present, etc. etc. but to think how we can use this technology to create a more participatory, dialogical culture of education that encourages students away from the 'economic' model of learning in which the institution is considered the 'provider' of a service and the student their 'customer' or 'client' - one delivering, the other receiving, a clear signal unadulterated by the noise of imagination, creative engagement, or for that matter any engagement whatsoever between student and teacher. Adrian Miles who was on this list has gone a long way in exploring the potential of dynamic networked media in tertiary education and his approach, and the approach of others working in this fairly radical field (currently a lot going on at UNSW where I work and study using wiki's,blogs and podcasts to ensure an active student engagement is an essential part of the course itself) far surpasses the approach that limits this new technology to 'distribution' and the perpetuation of a 'top down' model of education where economics only sees the potential for a pedagogical pyramid with a much wider base, wider distribution of material rather than seeing the potential for new ways of teaching and new ways of being taught.

Smaller file, same quality, larger resolution. Sounds good 'ey? I think we all standardised on 320x240 because it was a small file size and consistent with client windows in Ant and other apps. Which begs the question, are people happy with 320x240, or would a larger size be preferable? Would Ant choke on larger sizes? Would they be displayed at the larger size, or just be scaled to the 320x240 window? Same questions re the new iTunes video playback. With bandwidth exploding, I'm seriously considering upping my output resolution for roughly the same file size. Does anyone have any concerns or feedback on this? Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Get Bzzzy!
