[videoblogging] Videora ipod converter trickiness
Hello videobloggers and sorry for not popping in here more often. I use the Videora iPod converter (let's call it ViP) to cut down the size of the iPoddable videos that QT Pro spits out. With the latest 3.x versions of ViP there's no sound when the resulting videos are played on an Apple TV - though they work fine on iPods and in iTunes. My fix at this stage has been to roll back to the most recent 2.x version of ViP. For those wondering why I'd do the above: You can only get a baseline low-complexity 640x480 file out of QT Pro by using the Export for iPod option. This file is what you need for it to play on everything from the oldest video iPod to the newest Classics and video Nanos, while also getting the best out of Apple TV playback. The problem is that QT Pro's iPod export option cannot be altered, and it produces quite a large file. But if you run the resulting file through ViP using one of its H.264 VGA settings (not QVGA) you can tweak bitrates etc. and end up with a smaller file. But as I said, get your hands on a 2.x version of ViP. I found one by doing a bit of Googling. Waz from Crash Test Kitchen http://www.crashtestkitchen.com
[videoblogging] shoulder support for handheld camera - would you buy this prototype
The Shoulderlander: Solid, dependable, strong. For those who don't want to muck around with wobblyshot. Made from lightweight aluminium and anatomically correct cushion foam, the Shoulderlander gives you the support you need when the going gets tough - an extra long wedding service, a long winded speech. And as illustrated, can still be connected to your favourite tripod, once the dust has settled http://www.overlander.tv/2007/the-shoulderlander-shoulder-support-for-a-canon-xh-a1/ The Travelander (in development) The Travelander is a lightweight version of the Shoulderlander, for those who crave the open road. Just chuck it in your backpack, and hit the road, jack! You CAN have it all, a free and easy lifestyle AND steady shots! I developed these for my own use...do you think people would buy such a simple effective shoulder support if I started mass producing them??

Re: [videoblogging] Re: shoulder support for handheld camera - would you buy this prototype
Thanks for the link. some of these shoulder mounts are quite expensive. I designed the 'shoulderlander' mainly because I wanted a set up similar to my old XL1, a shoulder support AND the ability to connect to a tripod.

[videoblogging] How to Web 2.0-Enable your Live Event
Hi, JD Lasica pointed this out nice PDF related to conference planning. http://sparkmediasolutions.com/pdfs/Web2Enable_LiveEvent.pdf Nice mention of video blogging as important part of events. Historically, social networks and like-minded Web 2.0 tools empower users to keep in touch with the thousands of people theyve collected in their contact database. Without applications like social networks, blogs, micro-blogs, photo sharing, podcasts, video blogs, and of course email it would be impossible for anyone to stay in touch with so many people. Here's a link to the html version (rather complex navigation compared to the PDF). http://sparkmediasolutions.com/web2live.html Markus -- Markus Sandy http://apperceive.com http://ourmedia.org [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!

Randy, Rox and Mike, Thanks for the quick response. Nice to know that it's not just me having this problem. @Rox -yes totally unpredictable. If it happened everytime and by the same clip rate then it wouldn't bother me so much. I'll try exporting and then importing, see how that goes.

[videoblogging] Re: shoulder support for handheld camera - would you buy this prototype
Interesting device but I've found that stabilizing my lightweight Xacti requires another method. I took an empty peanut can and drilled a hole in the metal bottom. Then I inserted a gooseneck and secured it. Filled the can with rice and hot glued the lid onto it. It works as a monopod and as a counterbalance for the camera. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, bordercollieaustralianshepherd [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Great start, and unique.

I would appreciate feedback on it. I have been working with the folks who own http://ironweedfilms.com. I help with their website (it's Drupal). They have a subscription DVD service that I'm also a member of and enjoy. I get a DVD every month with some great independent films like Blue Vinyl, Favela Rising and An Unreasonable Man, plus various shorts. One of the reasons I like Ironweed is that they share back to the creators (although, sometimes this is a distributor and so how rev share happens in that case depends on the agreement with distributor). I also like that they organize and associate each release with an actionable causes and sponsors such as Breast Cancer Action or Mother Jones. IW has an affiliate program. They pay something like $8 for each subscription referred and $2/month for up to a year for each month the referral stays a subscriber. I have no idea how this compares to other programs (the one at ILTB mentioned 15%, which is pretty close to IW's rate). I know some folks on this list are Dreamhost affiliates. How is that working out for you? For big traffic sites this seems like it could be worth while, but when I talk with friends about the idea, few seem to think it is worth the trouble just for a few bucks. One thought I had for IW, was to make it so affiliates could designate that collected fees be donated to causes they want to support. This could save some payment fees and lots of small contributions could add up to something significant. I was wondering about offering trailers on the IW site that people could embed or remix for use on their own site and that optionally channels affiliate earnings to designated non-profit. Does that kind of affiliate model seem interesting to anyone here? Thanks for any feedback. Markus [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

[videoblogging] New way to review for school subjects?
Hi I am new to this group, and thank you for the invitation! I am interested in learning from the group. I am a teacher and creator of video podcast review lessons which I call masterycasts. Students listen to these short 5-7 minute review lessons in various school subjects. They download them from my website at www.masterymaze.com and play them repeatedly to obtain mastery. A couple of questions. First, I am creating these in Camtasia studio and looking to possible getthe new version. Does anyone have any experience with Camtasia or the upgrade? Second-- Any suggestions on how to grow the audience? I believe in free open sharing of these and all educational materials. That is my goal here. These podcasts have transformed my classroom! Thanks. Sue

Welcome! Glad to see more educators venture into new territory. Regarding your second question, I'm not sure if you are talking about growing an audience or having different places to distribute the videos. Both are important but others can speak to gathering the bodies. Just wanted to make sure that you knew about http://teachertube.com/ where the focus is on educational content.
