[videoblogging] Boxee: open source media player
Enric mentioned this site recently which I just now checked out: http://www.boxee.tv They have a video explainer on the front page. It's not open yet accept through invite, but look interesting. Supposedly it lets you watch stuff from around the web in one place. The wikipedia article explains more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxee It's licensed GPL which is encouraging because people can build on it. anyone actually try it yet?

Running it on both Macs and Apple TV. The developers are on Twitter and if you have a problem, they're usually pretty quick to get back to you. Best thing for me is that I don't have to convert my video to mp4 to watch on the ATV. Cheers!

[videoblogging] bye bye analog tv
A call for video submissions from a friend's project. Get more info at: http://virtualmemory.wordpress.com/call-for-submissions/ 3 CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS The Virtual Memory Project is calling for submissions : We are soliciting and collecting short films and videos documenting, describing, or otherwise acknowledging the analog-digital transition for a curated, traveling film program to coincide with the analog switch-off in February 2009. Farewell, Analog : Whats this all about ? In February 2009, analog broadcast television signals will cease. Somewhere back in the first half of the previous century, the first analog broadcast signal floated out across the air. Ever since, analog processes, technologies and aesthetics have shaped our existence - weve been sending and receiving analog, speaking to each other through these long, sinewy, unreliable analog waves - and now well officially replace them with digital packets, invisible streams of 0s and 1s that wouldnt know an antenna from a reel-to-reel. Will you miss it ? Does it matter ? Are you an analog purist ? Do you prefer celluloid to megapixels ? Or are you a digital prophet ? Streaming along above the fray - no rabbit ears for you Love it or hate it, analogs been a good friend to us - shouldnt we say goodbye ? Make something, and submit your work today ! Criteria : Submitted films dont have to reference the analog switch-off directly but should be closely related to the themes of : the quirks, pleasures and frustrations of analog technology (film, photography, vinyl, radio, magnetic tape, vacuum tubes, cathode ray television, etc etc) obsolescence (do all technologies have to end ?) digital future (utopia or apocalypse, you tell us) the difference between analog and digital the work of art in the age of digital reproduction, etc, etc All genres accepted - Documentary, Experimental, Narrative and Animation, etc Works may be newly created for the project, or be existing works. Work will be reviewed for thematic content, production quality, and programming viability. Length : No limitations, but length may affect submissions ability to be programmed Deadline : Submit work by January 23, 2009.

[videoblogging] analog tv
Hi, KaRi from ThePrimeSpot.com here, looking for live webcast hosts better than Ustream.TV or Stickam.com for SERIOUS TV! (email me at theprimes...@aol.com) Anyway, while brainstorming back and forth with my machinima moviemaker http://LucindaMcNary.com about SAVING CABLE ACCESS TELEVISION, I rec'd this from her re: Analog. Have a great new year, I think 2009 is THE year for electronic media! - KaRi == (from Lucinda to me: re: analog): Here is what I think you were talking about and if not, you should be intertested in this. Because in February the US is going all digital, that frees up all the current analogue TV channels for broadcast. Read the following article http://www.heise-online.co.uk/networks/US-regulators-considering- broadband-over-TV-broadcast-frequencies--/news/111755 This is awaiting approval by the FCC who are very positive that this will be available and of course, it will reach people who cannot afford the new digital TV boxes or TVs capable of providing this service. All these channels should be available for public TV. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Jen Simmons jensimm...@... wrote: A call for video submissions from a friend's project.

Thanks...that was really informative. The HD on dancing Matt looks great, really impressive.

Re: [videoblogging] Boxee: open source media player
I am using it. I like it. Makes me want a TV to use it on. I like that I can watch videoblogs via RSS without having pre- downloaded anything. I'm not sure how much I'll use Boxee vs. a web broswer, however. If I had a TV (and no tivo or whatever other service people already use) I would *totally* use the Boxee all the time. So far, on my computer, it's just an experiment. I think there'd be more value if I had more friends to follow you can watch what your friends just watched. Which would be a great way to find new online content.
