[videoblogging] A nice html5 video player with fullscreen
Hello, This player looks very promising: http://jilion.com/sublime/video It doesnt work in firefox yet, and the fullscreen mode only works in very recent webkit nightly build, but the potential is there, the animations are nice, and performance seems good. As for the ogg theora issue, having spoken to a few people elsewhere on the web I still feel it is far more likely that firefox will be forced to try and get h.264 working by relying on the operating systems ability to play h264, than stay with ogg only and run the risk of losing browser market share. There is a lot of heat on the net about these issues but it isnt translating into anything that makes ogg more viable, at least not at this stage. Cheers Steve Elbows
[videoblogging] Re: Non-XLR hand held Microphone
You're welcome Carlos, If you are in NYC, I suggest you pay a visit to Sam Ash store in Times Square. I had an XLR to 1/8 cable custom-made there using the highest quality cabling and plug. They solder the whole thing in front of you to your own cable length spects. One caveat though, when they first soldered it I discovered that the mike started playing only one channel (either left or right, i forget). So I went back and asked to to wire the cable so that both channels go into the camcorder. After some experimenting we achieved it. cheers Renat --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Carlos car...@... wrote: thanks for the info on hosa products, renat! i just googled the cable that's what came up. guess i should have done a little more research. i usually use neutriks but don't know if they have xlr to 1/8 cables. here's a list of xlr to mini on the bh site, http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Mini-to-XLR-Cables/ci/4172/N/4294549271 --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, pageflex2001 innomind@ wrote: The Hosa XVM 101F is of very inferior quality. It works but the cable will break at connection points within a year. I had two of these, both broke at the same rate. I would even go further, avoid HOSA products altogether since this is a company that builtds its products from inferior materials. best Renat --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Richard Amirault ramirault@ wrote: - Original Message - From: Cris Thomas I am looking for a traditional hand held microphone to use for man-on-the-street news interviews. Everything I can find is either an XLR mic or a toy. I have a Panasonic TM300 which is a nice small camera but has a traditional 1/4 microphone jack. I know there are XLR converters which would be fine but all the ones I have seen are super huge and bulky, which kind of defeats the purpose of the small camera. So can anyone suggest a decent microphone with the right connector or a small XLR converter? Thanks. I *seriously* doubt your camcorder has a 1/4 mic jack ... most likely it's a 1/8 jack. How about something like this for an adaptor.. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/158476-REG/Hosa_Technology_XVM_101F_Mini_Stereo_Male_to.html (search for Hosa XVM 101F at bhphotovideo.com if link is broken) You'd need to add a regular XLR mic cable to reach from your subject to the camera and you'd need to use a dynamic mic or a condensor mic with a built-in battery since you won't have phantom power with this setup.

[videoblogging] youtube sound
Hello, Ok, so quick update about my sound issues I've been asking you about last week. I got an Olympus LS10 to check if there's camera making the hum noise or the environment. What a relief..it was that specific environment that I was filming in. I tested both my mics (Azden and Rode) on Olympus and there was none to minimal hum noise, which is natural in my home (or any house). The same is So..now that I edited the video and uploaded to the Youtube I'm experiencing some sort of video behind the sound issue. The raw compressed file is looking good, but when I upload it to Youtube, the visual goes faster than the sound. Is it just me or Youtube doing smth wrong today? Have you had any issues like that? I did fix the raw sound to reduce the hum. Could that be doing smth to the video on Youtube? I haven't looked into other forums yet since I just posted the video. But I'll check other forums tonight to see if there are any people who had experience with this issue. Thanks. Loreta

Re: [videoblogging] A nice html5 video player with fullscreen
I just tried it via @Gruber... it brought tears to my eyes. Finally, web videos that don't feel bootstrapped to the page... it flows so naturally. I hope this is the future we agree on. Here's what Gruber had to say about it: http://daringfireball.net/linked/2010/02/01/sublimevideo - SublimeVideo — HTML5 Video Player This is so fucking great: an HTML5 video player by Jilian with beautiful playback controls, click-to-play control over automatic buffering, full-window playback with gorgeous animated transitions, and more. Works great in Safari and Chrome; Firefox support is in the works. Oh, and if you’re using a WebKit Nightly build: full-screen playback. Seriously, this is the real deal — full-screen H.264 playback with no Flash, no browser plugins, and sane CPU usage. When I wrote this piece on HTML5 and auto-buffering last month, I was focused only on the built-in browser controls. SublimeVideo shows that I was wrong — the existing browser support is probably good enough, it just needs to be supplemented with JavaScript to exert necessary control over buffering and more attractive playback controls. - Kevin Lim Cyberculturalist http://theory.isthereason.com This email is: [ ] bloggable [X] ask first [ ] private email locator: ╔╗╔═╦╗ ║╚╣║║╚╗ ╚═╩═╩═╝ On Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 11:29 AM, elbowsofdeath st...@dvmachine.com wrote: Hello, This player looks very promising: http://jilion.com/sublime/video It doesnt work in firefox yet, and the fullscreen mode only works in very recent webkit nightly build, but the potential is there, the animations are nice, and performance seems good.

[videoblogging] Re: youtube sound
I use H264, picture 1280x720, audio AAC (44.1 samplerate, 96 bitrate). I cleaned the sound with Audacity and then added some bass, just to diminish the background noise. I can't upload the video since it's for my client and I would hate for it to go public before he sees it. But I've used same settings on all my video uploads for Youtube and never experienced any problems. And the video and sound quality were very good when uploaded. This is the first one I have this type of issue with. I found in one forum a discussion about voice delay, but no solution was suggested. Thanks.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: youtube sound
Give it a few hours - try again. Chances are it'll pass. In the meantime, try exporting and uploading a different version - use an Apple iPod setting as an easy option. And also export a 10 second clip from your video and upload to see if the same thing's happening.

[videoblogging] Re: youtube sound
Rupert, it's a good idea- I'll try a shorter clip from the same video to see what happens. I've been uploading different versions throughout the day and different sizes (10 mb, 7 mb), it's still the same. Will wait and see. Thanks.
