[videoblogging] Re: feed not working Verdi's mp4 method

2006-11-28 Thread Bookmarts
Michael:

Thanks for your comprehensive reply that helps me and others understand many 
of the issues associated with creating and uploading videos.

 There are a number of advantages to not using the export to ipod feature.
 
 1. It only works correctly if you are using iMovie. If, for example, you 
 have DV footage and are using Final Cut Pro and you use the export for iPod 
 thing your video will come out the wrong aspect ratio.
 
You are  correct, I do create my vlog using iMovie HD 6.02 and QuickTime Pro 
7.1.3, so the iMovie to iPod works every time.

 2. The export for iPod feature doesn't allow you to make any adjustments to 
 the compression settings. It uses single pass encoding at the maximum 
 bit-rate that can play on the iPod. If you set things yourself you can make 
 files that are anywhere from 15% - 40% smaller and look just as good or 
 better using dual-pass compression.
 
This seems to be a reason not to move up to Final Cut Pro from iMovie. I 
watched your great  instructional video showing how you create the videos 
for Alive in Baghdad. The procedures shown seemed much more elaborate and 
involving than iMovie requires.  Do you know if Final Cut Express HD will 
allow for the simpler creation of iPod from QuickTime or will it be similar 
to Final Cut Pro? If it doesn't there might not be an advantage to this 
upgrade for my needs.

Yes, the iPod file I create in iMovie is rather large (36.4 MB) but the 
screen size remains 320 x 240 and looks good in iTunes and on my video iPod. 

What do you think of using  3IVX to get its  dual-pass compression to create 
smaller size files when making iPod versions from iMovie/QuickTime Pro?

 3. Again the aspect ratio thing causes problems. The latest version of 
 quicktime want to make 640 X 480 videos for the ipod (which is fine I guess 
 except they look terrible and are about 1600kbps). So if you want to make 
 320 x 240 video you have to resize your video before compressing.
 
As I indicated above, my QuickTime Pro 7.1.3  compresses my iMovie creations 
into a screen size of 320x240 (see http://www.poetryvlog.com/m4v.html ).

 4. m4v is a made up extension and with some hosts you have to modify your 
 .htaccess file and/or call tech support to get things working correctly. On 
 the other hand people have been using .mov  .mp4 without any problems for 
 years now.
 -Verdi

You are right, at first my host, Godaddy.com, did not automatically support 
the m4v or mp4 files, but following a quick phone call to the tech people 
the host made a change which accepts those files.

Thanks again for the terrific support you give to all.

 Hey Richard, It looks like the server is not returning the correct mime type 
 for mp4 files. You can try adding a line to your .htaccess file to change 
 that. Since anything with a . at the beginning of the file name is 
 invisible on a mac you'll have to duplicate the file on your server, remove 
 the period and then download the file. Open it in a text editor, add this 
 line, AddType video/mp4 .mp4 (without the quotes), save the file, upload 
 it, delete the .htaccess file and then rename the new htaccess file to 
 .htaccess. If for some reason that doesn't work you might have to try 
 AddType video/x-mp4 .mp4 I'm not 100% sure about that. Anyone know any 
 better?
 
 Also, Apple recently changed something about what files will play on iPods 
 (again) and there is a optimize for... dropdown in the mp4 compression 
 panel that need to be set to streaming now in order to be compatible with 
 an iPod. I have it documented on the Alive in Baghdad wiki (haven't done it 
 for Freevlog yet). You can find that at: 
 http://aliveinbaghdad.pbwiki.com/AIB%20episode%20format#4iPodCompression
 
 Let us all know if this works or not - this is always a pain in the butt 
 problem.

No, you will have to re-create the link in Flash. Ie. by creating your own  
.swf wrapper for the flv video.

 Is there any way these links could survive mov-mov(lower res)
 conversion if for example uploading to blip.tv and forcing the

Theoretically the chapter track can survive a mov-mov conversion, but it  
won't at blip. The solution is to create the low resolution video yourself  
and add the chapter track to that.

   1) Shooting video
   2) Programming applications

I know Steve Garfield uses and shoots with the N93.  So, if you have
the time and inclinations I have a few questions on shooting:

considering the $29.95, 200 minutes plan -- or is another plan
required to use this mobile device?

   - How much expanded memory is recommended if you want to shoot at
least 30 minutes of video?

   - Any other tips?

On programming, I've programmed in Java and recently am programming in
Actionscript.  From what I can tell the N93 has Java and Flash Lite. 
Any tips, experience, etc. programming for the N93?

Thanks!,

[videoblogging] Tool (pref. MacOS) to clean up sound on video

2006-11-28 Thread Angus McIntyre
Can anyone recommend a tool for improving sound quality on recorded 
video? Something that's optimized for speech would be the preferred 
choice, and Macintosh freeware would be ideal. A friend wants to 
clean up a recording of a presentation and says that the speaker's 
voice is almost unintelligible due to poor recording quality.

The picture apparently isn't great either - I haven't seen or heard 
the footage myself, I'm only going by what she says - so any hints or 
tools that might improve the appearance of poor-quality camcorder 
footage would also be welcome.

 Can anyone recommend a tool for improving sound quality on recorded

  clean up a recording of a presentation and says that the speaker's
  voice is almost unintelligible due to poor recording quality.

  The picture apparently isn't great either - I haven't seen or heard
  the footage myself, I'm only going by what she says - so any hints or
  tools that might improve the appearance of poor-quality camcorder
  footage would also be welcome.

  Thanks,

[videoblogging] Vlog Santa returns

2006-11-28 Thread Chuck Olsen
Aww geez... clear out the nitwits, Vlog Santa is back!

http://vlogsanta.tv

Vlog Santa is getting out of the house and talking to real
people on the street. Sometimes he gives them cans of Schlitz.
(Don't tell da cops)

But he still needs YOU to send him computer video questions
that he'll answer every week. You can suggest what Vlog
Santa should do when he leaves da house, too. 

Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If you're sending a video question, use Blip.tv or YouSendIt.com .

Also, Vlog Santa needs money for more Schlitz so he'll do
personalized video greetings for $25 smackers. What a ripoff!

cheers,
chuck

Yep, I dont have any card in my phone. No plan. No bill. When you  
want to email, browse, upload to flickr, youtube, etc. the phone will  
search for all avail hotspots.

Thats why the US carries wont sell them. They must be shakin in their  
boots :)

   required to use this mobile device?
 
  I use mine without a plan. It has wi-fi so I can piggyback off my
  home network, starbucks, hotspots, etc.

 When using the wifi, is one off the plan? So you can use wifi without
 charging to the plan?

 Thanks,

  Apparently you can skype off it too with wi-fi but I havent tried.
 
  I still find the quality not great for planned shoots, but super
  great for spontaneous ones.

How about when you want to make a call?  Do you use a separate mobile
phone for calling?

 I haven't signed up for a plan yet.  I use the wifi at home and free  
 wifi from the street to get online.
 
 - How much expanded memory is recommended if you want to shoot at
  least 30 minutes of video?
 
 I have a 1 gb card that captures about 50 minutes of 640x480 at 30 fps
 
 - Any other tips?
 
 The camera is great outside.
 
 Indoors with good lighting it's ok, but with an added light kit, I  
 use a Tota light, it's very nice.
