It comes from the lack of production values -- people define most
video blogs as personal because it's just them holding a camera and
talking.  When you add a map and some editing you become a show.

From my experience vlogging, the sweet spot is making the videos
immediate enough so I'm not so intimidated by the editing process that
I won't do it.  And balancing that with just an overall sense of doing
the best I can with the materials at hand, knowing that consistency is
my friend.

The more you put out, the better you get at doing it, and the more
people will tune in to see what the hubub is all about.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Could Amanda Drive Broadband Television?

Definitions are set by a community. I don't agree with you that rocketboom  
isn't personal, but we probably have different ideas of what 'personal'  
means in 'videoblogs are personal'. It's about personality, not about  
sharing intimate moments and to some degree about being rooted in the  
lifeworld of the author.

The author's lack of understanding is much more apparent when he says that  
videoblogs won't work because they're not tv. Not being tv is exactly why  
they do work. Oddly enough video on the web works differently than video  
on the tv. He's a pretty uninteresting if all he can say is that 'video  
will not work on the web because tv on the web won't work'.

[videoblogging] I know this maybe old but.....

2005-12-13 Thread Paul Knight

Hi guys,

Here in the uk, I have just been issued with my first company phone for 
many years, only to find it has the capacity to play mp3's, 3gp's and 
take pics and movies.  Hey hey Way cool.  So all this forum chatter 
about ipods and psp's and other portable devices seems to me, all good, 
but when you consider that quicktime can convert anything to a 3gp 
file, I know the picture quality ain't up to much, but at least you can 
show your videos to people quickly and easily doing this.  Without 
having to shell out for and expensive jukebox which will be replaced 
soon by a widescreen and then a surround sound version(anything is 
possible).  So I am going to upload some of my movies and astound my 
work collegues by showing a small version of my videos to them in this 
format.  I can't wait, all I need to do now is buy a USB cable, I'm not 
gonna bother with the expensive bluetooth route, when I can get a lead 
for less than a tenner, that does the same thing!

Love you all

Paul

 Well, I dunno. But

 a) not everyone uses iTunes

Thankfully SMIL works fine in the regular Quicktime Player (and browser  
plugin). :o)
My browser caches SMIL video for the current session only. I have to  
re-download if I want to rewatch a video after having closed my browser.  
The Quicktime Player doesn't cache at all as far as I can tell (I'm going  
by memory here).

 b) despite this audience the majority of the US is still on dial-up -
 if other aggregators force them to redownload the movie each time
 thats a drawback imho.
 c) Fast start is nice, but its often over rated.  Having a local copy
 would be far better for people over slower connections.  Fast start
 lags out for me all the time and I'm on DSL, for dial-up could be
 really bad.

Dial-up users have far bigger problems than SMIL in this regard. 4MB/min  
compression and dial-up just don't match. It doesn't matter if local  
playback is better if it takes 40 minutes to download the video. Contrary  
to the belief of nerds everywhere dial-up users don't leave their computer  
online all day and night to download video (or porn).

 d) I cant get your movies to sync to the iPod ... is this because they
 are actually SMIL files, or your compression settings?  If SMIL wont
 sync to iPod, then counting on iTunes with its cache is iffy ... why
 would you expect iTunes to be the aggregator of choice for you feed?

SMIL is made for the web. That's what it's good at. I don't have a video  
iPod, but I highly doubt it'll ever play SMIL files. There's not any point  
since the device isn't online. It's a choice you've got to make.  
Personally I make video for the web, not for some on-demand tv device.

I don't print out blog entries either. :o)

 f) (dont get me wrong here I really like what SMIL can do ... just
 playing devil's advocate) Just putting a link back and a comment
 button can be done without SMIL.  I've done it with eZedia (which for
 this purpose the free version is sufficient) and that syncs up no
 problem with the ipod, will download the actual movie file in any
 aggregator, and keeps all its visual elements in the direct download
 version.

The advantage is SMIL is that it can be easily automated where interactive  
native Quicktime movies have to be created manually. If you don't mind  
taking the time to create the files using eZedia then do that - I would  
too. Native Quicktime files are more robust than the SMIL counterparts.  
(yes, I can't wait to get to work more with eZedia)

SMIL is also good for loading content dynamically or from different parts  
of the web. You can do server-side scripting actions by loading images  
that are actually scripts (that return an image) and you can load movies  
 from any URL without making a local copy first. That's not possible with  
eZedia - at least not as easily as in SMIL. LiveStage can do this and  
more, but it's a very complex piece of software (not to mention very  
expensive).

 No clearly there are things SMIL can do that a sprite track cant ...
 but I'm just not sure any of those features are ones I want.  At the
 moment I'm thinking comment buttons, link backs ... all of that sort

Quicktime's SMIL implementation is very limited. There probably *isn't*  
anything you can't do with a sprite track and software. SMIL is often  
faster for what is *can* do. The main advantage with SMIL is that you can  
make programs that manipulate SMIL very easily.

[videoblogging] Re: Could Amanda Drive Broadband Television?

If your definition of 'personal' is something that is driven 
by 'personality' then there are a lot of tv shows that 
are 'personal' tv shows. The Tonight Show for instance would be 
a 'personal' television show, since it's driven by the personality 
of Jay leno, the same goes for Oprah or David Letterman or Conan 
O'Brien. Sorry, I don't buy it.

Of course this is not to say that I don't like personal video blogs, 
I do and subscribe to a lot of them. I just am pointing out the 
contradiction in that particular writers concepts.

Hi Mister Paul!

I have young kidlets, and my ipod has taken up several new uses for me:

1 - the kids watched it while sitting in the bleachers at my
daughter's cheerleading competition, waiting for their sister team to
go on.  The kids love it's jerry time, and they each sat with one
earbud in and watched.  ;)

2 - my two kids always say, can we watch the ipod? when we get in
the car, because I have a cigarette lighter charger that charges it
and plays it over the car's fm stereo.  So we watch happy naked
friday and magic monkey bob on the way to school.

Cell phones are nice, but every day I seem to find a new use for my
video ipod.

 gonna bother with the expensive bluetooth route, when I can get a lead 
 for less than a tenner, that does the same thing!

Re: [videoblogging] SMIL Question

On 12/13/05, Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 Dial-up users have far bigger problems than SMIL in this regard. 4MB/min
 compression and dial-up just don't match. It doesn't matter if local
 playback is better if it takes 40 minutes to download the video. Contrary
 to the belief of nerds everywhere dial-up users don't leave their computer
 online all day and night to download video (or porn).

True but they are used to and do suffer long downloads often.  Its
entirely possible that they'll sacrifice the phone line while they are
off watching TV for an hour or two if it means they can come back to
the newest episode of their favorite videoblog(s).

Asking them to do this once through the convience of an aggregator
that will download the thing and store for future playback is
different than asking them to download a tiny lil file so that they
can try to download that massive movie file each and every time they
click play.

(And there are a good many people that even have a seperate phone line
for this and do leave that 2nd line up and connected for large
portions of the day (its not cost of DSL but availability that traps
alot of poeple, and they're willing to pay for a 2nd line) ... great
for download/preload but not so great for live/fast-start.)

 Personally I make video for the web, not for some on-demand tv device.

Well that is my primary desire/goal ... but I dont believe having a
sync-able video makes the video designed for on-demand devices ...
it's just something else it can do.  I mean I'm all about
web-interactivity and *I* have a video iPod.  I go back and comment on
stuff all the time, but I like having a few vlogs on the ipod for
airport layovers or to show friends and what not.  I dont think
offering a portable version of the media for any of my viewers who
(like me) like to sync up to the iPod changes what I'm doing or
intended audiance / features ... it's just offering an additional
feature should someone want to take advantage.

But I hear what you're saying:  If I avoid SMIL solely for the sake of
iPods, then I sacrifice those features and make production choices for
the sake of the offline iPod rather than a website / vlog.  But at the
moment, I've avoiding SMIL for other reasons :-P.

 If you don't mind taking the time to create the files using eZedia then do 
 that
 - I would too. Native Quicktime files are more robust than the SMIL 
 counterparts

Yeah I think that's what I'm going to do. eZedia is pretty cool and
takes me all of 5 seconds to edit the link URL, export frame, and
paste to end of vlog before I upload a new vid.

 ... but I'm gonna have to find some cool SMIL project to play around
with all the same ... it is pretty cool, lookin.  :-)

[videoblogging] No slowing down for me.

2005-12-13 Thread Susan

I don't know if I'll get a lot of responses to this post, though that
would be nice; but I'm just overflowing with stuff that I'd love to
share with you all.

Jonny--I can't tell you how tickled I was a month ago when Markus sent
me a link to that mp3 of audio of when you gave the presentation in
New York City.  Here's an art project for kids I did, you said--and
here's a lady in Texas who saw my vlog and did the project.  That was
completely awesome.

Something similar happened to me this morning.  Yesterday's vlog post
(and yes, I am still posting a new vid daily) was a little bit about
me being frustrated, and excited at the same time, and wanting to
teach more parents about videoblogging.  Of all people, my
mother-in-law (the one who was in that vid I did plugging FireANT) saw
the video, and is going to talk to a woman she knows about me teaching
videoblogging on the weekends I go down to San Antonio and visit
node101, hopefully once a month.  So another gap has been bridged
thanks to these vids.

I gave my first presentation at the Apple store here in Plano, TX last
Saturday, and I haven't talked to many of you here about it.  Before I
ever gave the presentation, the lead instructor at the store told me
that he wanted me to present once a month, and to pick dates for the
next couple months.  The presentation itself went 98% smoothly. 
Besides the fact that I don't own a mac and got mac-lost a few times,
that was 1%, and the fellow who said he would come to tape the
presentation (sin tape, of course) for me, he didn't show up, so that
was another 1% down.  But the presentation itself went awesome, and I
had a captive audience, and I think I may have even made one mom
almost cry with one of my videos (no, I haven't posted that one on my
vlog yet--it will probably be Christmas Eve or Christmas Day post). 
The Apple guys were very very nice to me, and they were thrilled with
my presentation, and seem very eager for me to come back in January.

I really wanted to have the presentation taped--that would have been
my next half-dozen-or-so vlog posts, excerpts from that--but maybe
next month.  In the meantime, I have taken so many vids, and since I
only allow myself to post one a day, I have been backlogged as long as
a week or more, and am now just about catching up to the point where I
only have a surplus of one or two day's worth of vids to post.  Time
to make more.

I guess what I'm saying is... I remember a post a month or so ago
where we were talking about vlogger burnout... usually in Suzy's
little world, I would have gotten burned out on something new within
the first few weeks... but I'm going on four MONTHS now with no end in
sight, and I am actually coming up on making my 100th video blog post...

Any suggestions for a 100th post?

Thanks for your wonderful friendship, help, and support through my
wonderful vlogging experiences!

Re: [videoblogging] SMIL Question

2005-12-13 Thread bertrand




Hello,a) not everyone uses iTunesoups, 85% of my audience using video aggregators softwares is using iTunes. :((
but that's not a reason to make iTunes centric solutions...f) (dont get me wrong here I really like what SMIL can do ... just
playing devil's advocate) Just putting a link back and a commentbutton can be done without SMIL.I've done it with eZedia (which forthis purpose the free version is sufficient) and that syncs up noproblem with the ipod, will download the actual movie file in any
aggregator, and keeps all its visual elements in the direct downloadversion.I didn't know, that's cool ! It looks like a better alternative to SMIL ! I will investigate this.Bertrand
No clearly there are things SMIL can do that a sprite track cant ...but I'm just not sure any of those features are ones I want.At the
moment I'm thinking comment buttons, link backs ... all of that sortof thing ... might be better to use sprites.- Dave--http://www.DavidMeade.com

Re: [videoblogging] Re: SXSW Interactive

2005-12-13 Thread Verdi

JD,
If you're moderating a panel, talk to people over there. Tell 'em to  
get some videobloggers on some panels. The videoblogging panel last  
year only had 1 videoblogger (Andrew Baron) on it. It's unbelievable  
to me that they haven't gotten it yet. I guess I was over optimistic  
that the organizers of the SXSW Interactive conference would actually  
be paying attention to what the hell is going on in the world of, ah,  
interactive web stuff.

Re: [videoblogging] No slowing down for me.

great post Susan and thanks for doing that

the story about yours and Jonny's video interaction is now a standard 
part of my presentation of Vloggers around the world on VlogMap.  i 
love telling that story

i think it is important that we begin to document more of the 
presentations - it *is* harder when you are the only one presenting

there is so much going on that it is often hard to focus on the right 
things - overflow is the right word - not sure what to say about that

it's amazing what can happen sometimes when you express your frustration 
in a video

8 months for me and no burnout yet :)

as for the 100th post - how about something special for Ian as he nears 
his 365th?

how about we all do a special post for Ian before the New Year and the 
end of the 05Project?

I said the same thing in passing to Josh Kinberg at vloggercue. He just  
laughed. :o)

But yeah, for 98% of the use-cases it's a matter of locating src

the end of it. This is all just getting started. Wait until there are  
not just 2,000 videoblogs but 20,000 or 200,000 and there are not

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Could Amanda Drive Broadband Television?

Mainstream media often define blogs in general as being mainly a
tool to express political opinions fact check your ass and all
that. In actuallity political blogs make up only a small portion of
all the weblogs out there (and I'm not referring to the personal is
political, though I personally believe that statement).

We all know that the majority of the millions of weblogs on the Net
fall into the realm of the mundane (which is the new punk, or so I'm
told :-)

In general, blogs are more often like personal diaries than they are
like opinion journalism (take a look at LiveJournal or Xanga... or
Blogger for that matter) its just that the mundane is not really
news when it comes down to all the news that's fit to print.

I think taping yourself expressing some of the thoughts you wrote in

Or a variationdoing a voiceover of some of the thoughts in this

[videoblogging] Re: Mefeedia feed subscriptions tracked by Feedburner


  u
  i don't understand how that happened
  my videos only get downloaded by about 400 people a day according to  
  blip stats
  but i guess that means people are on text browsers  and not
watching the  
  vids?
  or on mefeedia, but that should register too?

Hey Ryanne, your subscriber number had a problem, it's fixed now, by
tonight Feedburner should report the correct one.

There is a difference between subscribers and people who watch.
Someone might be subscribed to you, but they might never turn on their
computer, so they're not watching any videos. 
ps: yes, if they watch it on the Mefeedia site that registers too.
Some of those 400 are probably watching it through Mefeedia.

Hope that helps?
Peter

 To go from 231 readers to 3,976 in one day seems very suspicious and I
 highly doubt this is all coming from Mefeedia.  An increase of over
 3500 readers should have a significant impact on all related traffic.
  The fact that she isn't seeing a huge bump in video downloads should
 be a big red flag.  
 
 Matter of fact, Ryanne's site is using the VlogMap image directly from
 my server, and my server reports how many requests were generated from
 external sites.  Yesterday looks no different than any other day...
 
 So again, I'm calling these FeedBurner numbers a fluke.
 
 Who knows - we'll just have to wait and see how the numbers appear
 over the next few days.

[videoblogging] Re: Hi, I'm Eric, and my brain don't work

As I understand it M4V is just an extension that Apple made up for 
some reason to describe a MP4 that is iPod compatible. It's not 
necessary to be compatible with an iPod. iPods will play videos with 
the following extensions 
M4V 
MOV
MP4 
Provided they are encoded to the iPod specs which are roughly h.264 
or MP4 sized to 320x240 with the Audio encoded with AAC. The specs 
are a bit more specific but thats what they are generally.

 DEATHMATCH -- where he posts two videos of different people dancing
 to the same song, video playing at the same time, and viewers vote!

someone's just got to set it up.

[videoblogging] Google Earth for Mac OS X

2005-12-13 Thread LeanBackVids.com

Ogle Earth has some insider info on Google Earth for Mac OS X.

Start with this (first-of-five) article and use the top nav to read
the others...
http://www.ogleearth.com/2005/12/google_earth_fo_1.html

This is not really vlog related, but we screencast Google Earth a lot
in our vlogs.  The VlogMap Google Earth page has a list of our
GE-inspired videos as well as the original Wonderful World video. 
Be sure to email me if you make a vlog using Google Earth so I can add
it to the list.

[videoblogging] Re: Hi, I'm Eric, and my brain don't work

2005-12-13 Thread Enric

m4v is a waste of time because it can take about x4 longer to encode,
requires a lot of processor power that older computer don't supply
well and iTunes works with mp4 quicktime mov files (I use 3ivx to
encode for iTunes/iPod as a .mov file.)

Re: [videoblogging] Teaching seniors videoblogging

2005-12-13 Thread Richard Show

Joan,I'm not sure about videoblogging, though I can imagine it working. Seems pretty complicated, when I think of my experience with my Mom.One thing, though, I would really encourage would be to teach them email.
My mother, who will be 80 in a couple of weeks. LOVES email. She says she's much more in touch with her kids, she likes to print them out and read them to my dad and she sends us (the children and their children) like an email every day.
... anyway, my thoughts based on my experience with one senior ... RichardOn 12/12/05, Joan Khoo [EMAIL PROTECTED]

a talk instead on certain softwares (e.g. using photoshop or word). I

tossing the idea around but don't really know how to go about it.

 I don't know about others, but we have many more movie downloads than
 we do subscribers.  For example, we had a little over 260 subscribers
 yesterday to Ridertech.com, but our latest video (posted 5 days ago)

Yes, this is a good point. Feedburner reports my vlog has a circulation 
(subscriptions) of 
about 450 individuals, but my blip stats for my last 3 vlogs report 830, 1300, 
and 880 
downloads respectively during the first week that they were up. 

These blip numbers include the subscribers that feedburner is counting, but 
ALSO 
people who watch the video by visiting my blog and clicking the link, or by 
getting the link 
emailed to them by a friend, etc. Right?

Also, as I understand the blip stats, they reflect the number of downloads in 
TOTAL, not 
the number of UNIQUE downloads. When my dad watches the video 5 times in a day, 
the 
blip stat counter goes up +5 even though it is the same person watching. Is 
this right? 
Maybe somebody could correct me if I'm mistaken...

I'm SO GRATEFUL that there are brainiacs involved in this to figure out how to 
get a picture 
of the audiences we are reaching. It's not the most critical part of why I'm 
doing this, but it 
is still impotant to me.

Re: [videoblogging] SMIL Question

2005-12-13 Thread Michael Sullivan

Just remember not to look at SMIL as a replacement to other methods of delivery.SMIL is very powerful and am glad it is starting to get more attention these days...So many years it was just ignored and dusty but now with all this Internet Media booming around... it has refreshed interest. Maybe more software apps will properly support SMIL
2.0 soon.As mentioned, I chose to use SMIL to handle videoblog playlists on vlogdir.com. I like that I can take all the video enclosures from an RSS feed and convert to SMIL and make the embedded Quicktime player link each video to the permalinks. If you have a SMIL playlist loaded and are watching videos, you can just click the video currently playing and a new browser window will open the permalink.
I've also done some experimental stuff with syncing random music with random videos using SMIL. In fact, if you use videobloggers.org, you could setup a media album and upload videos and mp3s... and the music will be used as the soundtrack while the videos play.
Vimeo originally was tinkering with such things when it first was introduced... But Jacob abandoned that experimental stuff for more standard features.SMIL (in particular QT SMIL) is not perfect, but it is definately useful and great for experimental works.

True but they are used to and do suffer long downloads often.Itsentirely possible that they'll sacrifice the phone line while they areoff watching TV for an hour or two if it means they can come back to
the newest episode of their favorite videoblog(s).Asking them to do this once through the convience of an aggregatorthat will download the thing and store for future playback isdifferent than asking them to download a tiny lil file so that they
can try to download that massive movie file each and every time theyclick play.(And there are a good many people that even have a seperate phone linefor this and do leave that 2nd line up and connected for large
portions of the day (its not cost of DSL but availability that trapsalot of poeple, and they're willing to pay for a 2nd line) ... greatfor download/preload but not so great for live/fast-start.) Personally I make video for the web, not for some on-demand tv device.
Well that is my primary desire/goal ... but I dont believe having async-able video makes the video designed for on-demand devices ...it's just something else it can do.I mean I'm all aboutweb-interactivity and *I* have a video iPod.I go back and comment on
stuff all the time, but I like having a few vlogs on the ipod forairport layovers or to show friends and what not.I dont thinkoffering a portable version of the media for any of my viewers who(like me) like to sync up to the iPod changes what I'm doing or
intended audiance / features ... it's just offering an additionalfeature should someone want to take advantage.But I hear what you're saying:If I avoid SMIL solely for the sake ofiPods, then I sacrifice those features and make production choices for
the sake of the offline iPod rather than a website / vlog.But at themoment, I've avoiding SMIL for other reasons :-P. If you don't mind taking the time to create the files using eZedia then do that
- I would too. Native Quicktime files are more robust than the SMIL counterpartsYeah I think that's what I'm going to do. eZedia is pretty cool andtakes me all of 5 seconds to edit the link URL, export frame, and
paste to end of vlog before I upload a new vid. ... but I'm gonna have to find some cool SMIL project to play aroundwith all the same ... it is pretty cool, lookin.:-) - Dave--

Re: [videoblogging] Teaching seniors videoblogging

2005-12-13 Thread Ed Yarrish

Joan,

I helped start a computer training program at a local Sr Ctr a few
years ago. It was so successful that they eventually had 2
computer labs. I have mentioned Vloging to the director, but
haven't put too much energy into it yet. I have had some more
detailed discussions with a local art school, but we haven't found a
funding source yet.

We have moved a little further with another group locally:

http://newknowledgeclub.com

We picked up some used IBM Netfinity servers that we are trying to
convert into Linux video editing stations - not sure how successful
that is going to be yet.

Good luck in your efforts -- Ed

[videoblogging] Re: Re: Is Flash the answer?

2005-12-13 Thread Nerissa $TheVideoQueen$

Is Flash Video the answer?What was the original question?Flash is definately the answer to viewer reachability.And these days it's easy and free. Just reread Michael Sullivan's posts. I've written an article describing why Flash is great and how anyone can nowput Flash video on their website for $0.http://www.thevideoqueen.com/articles/article/2665045/38922.htmThe reason I personally like Flash is becuase I believe most viewers want to watch videos. I dont think they want to download videos nearly as much as they want to watch. If they have to download before they can watch then okay they'll download them. The article above details howanyonecandeliver progressive Flash downloads-- much better than downloading entire movie before you can watch.The
video host (mentioned by another person earlier in this thread) that streams via flash and also provides mp4 downloads for ipod owners-- is great solution for total distribution these days in my opinion.

[videoblogging] Another newbie de-lurking

2005-12-13 Thread Eddie Codel

Hello most verbose videologgers,

I've been following this place off and on for a while and finally bit 
the bullet and subscribed. This really looks like ground zero for so 
much in the videologging community. Some of you might know me, others I 
may have met back in September at Webzine 2005. A lot of your names are 
starting to become familiar to me.

So I've got a little project I kicked off with my good friend Irina a 
few weeks ago called Geek Entertainment Televison. We go around and do 
light hearted interviews of our friends and their friends about random 
projects they're doing in the geekosphere. It's short format, 3-5 
minutes, shot on location at various places within the re-inflating 
bubble.  Being in San Francsico, it's been really easy to find people to 
interview and subjects to cover.

I'd love any feedback you guys have. Production quality on the older 
videos are let's say, not as robust as the newer stuff. We actually plug 
the mic in now and even use a light. Amazing what a difference that can 
make.

http://www.geekentertainment.tv/

Cheers,
-eddie

[videoblogging] Re: Google Earth for Mac OS X

2005-12-13 Thread LeanBackVids.com

Yeah, Google Earth was one of the only reasons I ever fired up my
Windows box (oh and DVDShrink).  Thankfully those days are over.

Be sure to download the two VlogMap files (technically called Network
Links)...

World Map of Vlogs:

GeoVlogged Videos:
http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/download.php?Number=201592

I'll try to get custom icons setup for each tomorrow.

Also, if you're into skiing and snowboarding, I've got two very useful
GE network links on the page below.  One maps all of the ski resorts
in North America and the other adds image overlays for the Weather.com
snow forecast.

Re: [videoblogging] http://mostextraordinary.blogspot.com Help me out

2005-12-13 Thread Adrian Miles

around the 13/12/05 David Meade mentioned about Re: [videoblogging] 
http://mostextraordinary.blogspot.com H that:
For some reason eZediaQTI defaults to taking away the standard
controller buttons, but you can tell it in the export settings to keep
the regular controls available.

it does this because if you add video to an ezedia project it 
includes this as a child movie. this is why in ezedia you can have a 
'frame' with (say) 2 videos in it with different durations (and make 
one play the other, etc)

[videoblogging] Getting More Traffic . . . How?

2005-12-13 Thread robdparrish

Hi everybody:

This is my first post since my I'm new to vlogging post back in
October.  Since then I've posted over 20 videos.  And my goodness, I'm
having a great time.  Vlogging really gets my creative juices flowing!
 I've been making videos for years, but the short format of vlog posts
and conversational nature of the medium is liberating.  It's like
having a video sketchbook you share with the world.

As to sharing with the world . . . I'd like to share with more of the
world.  I'd love to have a conversation about strategies for gaining
viewership.  Are there plans for a vlogging index that could guide
viewers toward the types of vlogs they want to see?  Can we develop
more sophisticated linking practices?  What's next for Mefedia?  

Anyway, I'd be very interested to hear your ideas.  Thanks.

Rob

[videoblogging] Why I chose M4V temporarily

2005-12-13 Thread Eric Rice

Okay, so lots of good discussion about formats. Some backstory first.

When Apple came out with Quicktime 7, I was annoyed because it seemed that with 
the 
3ivx codec, they took away the ability to encode it with MPEG4 audio and 
replaced it AAC. 
Now many vloggers I know (I'll use Steve for example) held out and stayed with 
Quicktime 
6. Remember, Apple sorta goofed on the first 7.0 release and some compatibility 
issues 
plagued us until they came out with 7.01.

Good news is that all the videos I made with 3ivx (mpeg/aac) were automatically 
ipod 
video-ready. That was the SWEETEST accident ever! So, yay for 3ivx.

So on to h.264... no shortage of conversation there--- many folks decided that 
3ivx was 
*good enough* and stuck with it, seeing only minor differences in quality, and 
improved 
encoding/processing time. H264 works as well, but takes forever to encode.

Fast forward to today. I've got the first of two HD cameras in my arsenal and I 
couldn't (in 
the time I had to work with it) get 3ivx to give me the quality I was looking 
for. Also, I 
wasn't interested in waiting for H264 video to encode.

We had this quicktime-to-ipod format which had its voodoo extension show up 
when the 
ipod video was announced.

What I discovered in my tests:
Outputting to the M4V was uber fast and low file size. By A LOT. Since so much 
traffic 
comes from iTunes (and they feature my videoblog from time to time) I said to 
hell with it 
and made those videos m4v's.

When I had more time to encode when I got back from travelling, I found that I 
*could* get 
3ivx to maintain a reasonable quality for the footage I shot in HD, although 
the file sizes 
were a bit awkward (my last video is 6 minutes, 480x272, HIGH with auto bitrate 
= 122 
MB. ouchie) H264 didn't give me much better results or quality. 

So, in short, publishing to M4V was a shortcut that sorta worked, minus the 
brain fart I 
had with editing the wrong server's MIME type. It was fast, had good quality 
and I might 
revisit it sooner, but in all actuality, I'll prolly do as much as I can to 
mimic those settings 
in 3ivx to kick out .MOV files for all general podcast applications.

Cheers,

Eric

Re: [videoblogging] Why I chose M4V temporarily

Dude, m4v is nothing other than mp4 encoding at default settings
preset by Apple.
m4v is a myth. It is not a format. It is simply a file extension
pulled out of the ether, but not a different file type. You could name
it mp4 or mov as that would more accurately define the file type and
you wouldn't have to screw with the mime settings on your server.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Why I chose M4V temporarily

Why don't you play it in Quicktime and check info on the file.
It should tell you the encoding (probably h.264) and the bitrate.

   were a bit awkward (my last video is 6 minutes, 480x272, HIGH with auto 
   bitrate =
 122
   MB. ouchie) H264 didn't give me much better results or quality.
  
   So, in short, publishing to M4V was a shortcut that sorta worked, minus 
   the brain fart
 I
   had with editing the wrong server's MIME type. It was fast, had good 
   quality and I
 might
   revisit it sooner, but in all actuality, I'll prolly do as much as I can 
   to mimic those
 settings
   in 3ivx to kick out .MOV files for all general podcast applications.
  
   Cheers,

How absolutely embarrassing. All of that trouble I was having with MIME

   thread)
was a PEBKAC issue (problem exists between keyboard and chair).
   
I spent all this time trying to edit the MIME types on backstaging.com 
to no avail--
 the
   videos
would STILL not work. I suppose that's because the video files don't 
live there, they
 live
   on a
hosted blog server that I don't have access to(duhhh). so I was 
editing
 something
completely unrelated.
   
So basically, it's like if you got a headache and I gave your neighbor

Thanks everyone for the help. :-)

Re: [videoblogging] http://mostextraordinary.blogspot.com Help me out

Ah good point.  I typically do the opposite (put eZedia frames into QT
rather than QT into eZedia frames), so I hadnt considered that.

But thankfully the option is there to keep controllers on eZedia
exported files should you still need them.

 For some reason eZediaQTI defaults to taking away the standard
 controller buttons, but you can tell it in the export settings to keep
 the regular controls available.

 it does this because if you add video to an ezedia project it
 includes this as a child movie. this is why in ezedia you can have a
 'frame' with (say) 2 videos in it with different durations (and make
 one play the other, etc)

RE: [videoblogging] Why I chose M4V temporarily

 Dude, m4v is nothing other than mp4 encoding at default settings
 preset by Apple.
 m4v is a myth. It is not a format. It is simply a file extension
 pulled out of the ether, but not a different file type. You could name
 it mp4 or mov as that would more accurately define the file type and
 you wouldn't have to screw with the mime settings on your server.

This is not entirely accurate. The M4V saved out by Save for iPod defaults
to H.264 with AAC audio. The M4V files available for sale through iTMS are
VRML Media video, which makes M4V a wrapper format of some kind, which
allows Apple to add DRM. Renaming the file from M4V to MP4 works for
playback in QuickTime, but does not work for playback in other places where
MP4 is normally supported because the files aren't recognized by all MP4
codecs.

That's because its h.264. You need an h.264 decoder to view it... hence QT 7.

Thanks Captain Obvious! ;) My point is, changing the file extension doesn't
mean it will play back with *all* H.264 decoders, because it won't.

You're correct, but it does solve the mime-type issue on the server side.

RE: [videoblogging] Why I chose M4V temporarily

 On Behalf Of Joshua Kinberg
 You're correct, but it does solve the mime-type issue on the server side.

If you specify a mime-type associated with M4V, it will work correctly as
is. You don't need to swap the extension, simply put this in your .htaccess
file:

AddType video/mp4 .m4v

Although I've also seen it suggested that this is a correct method:

video/x-m4v .m4v
