Re: [videoblogging] Re: WebM Project
I don't know too much about this, but I've been following html5 developments as much as my brain will allow me. It seems that for browsing on desktops and laptops, this bodes well for the immediate future as far as interactivity. But as for other video playback devices, h264 is going to hold on tight for a few years, just like mpeg2 did with TV forever. The blip guys talked back and forth a bit about it today on their respective tumblrs: http://www.justinday.com/post/617520944/thoughts-on-webm-and-the-future-of-online-video http://www.justinday.com/post/617520944/thoughts-on-webm-and-the-future-of-online-video AQ On Thu, May 20, 2010 at 2:42 PM, elbowsofdeath st...@dvmachine.com wrote: --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Brook Hinton bhin...@... wrote: Yes, there are apparently big time issues with not just functions but out and out code shared with h.264, and with some inefficiencies in the current implementation. But it's early. I'm actually not all that happy about this announcement. If I had any confidence that VP8 would be quickly, universally adopted as the future by all concerned (and that we could rest assured that it would soon be at h.264 quality and have the long term ability to surpass it) I'd be thrilled. But for now it's yet another codec entering the wars, open source or not, patent free or not, that are in my mind bringing us back to having to encode everything in multiple formats just to insure browser compatibility. Yuck. HTML5 video holds so much promise, and its just so depressing seeing it hobbled by all of this. Well you know I have multiple concerns and whilst I can appreciate the joy of open and some of the concerns about h.264, I think people sometimes allow that love of open to obscure the many practical realities which could make a mess such as you describe. I would say the format battles arent quite as complex as you fear, because although Google only recently started some Theora initiatives, I think we can pretty much forget about that format now, WebM is taking its place. And I believe Flash will support WebM so it should not complicate the picture too much but rather continue to offer solutions for browsers that dont support either h.264 or WebM with HTML5. If WebM avoids any patent ugliness then my main issue with it will be efficiency - I shall watch closely to see how much hardware-accelerated support comes out for it on both desktop and mobile, and will be extremely annoyed if the era of low-energy web video playback, which is only just coming of age, is spoilt by WebM for too many years. Cheers Steve Elbows Best case scenarios to hope for in the short term: 1. Apple and MS welcome VP8 with open arms, not necessarily as THE HTML5 codec, but fully supporting it with the HTML5 video tag in their browsers. And/or: 2. The consortium controlling h.264 releases it free in perpetuity as a goodwill gesture. Alas, I don't think either have any chance in hell of happening. Instead I fear we're entering into a competing, non-interoperable proprietary era, where open source is forced into being non-universal by default. So my pessimistic take on the news is: now instead of h.264 vs. Theora, and html5 vs. flash, we have h.264 vs. Theora vs. VP8 complicated by flash, with various parties siding with one or two but never all three, and Adobe, Apple and Microsoft playing politics with the good name of open standards. I desperately want to be wrong and hope all the optimists are right. Brook Yahoo! Groups Links [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Re: [videoblogging] Re: external hard drives for editing?
Wow, I've been pricing out my next machine and I hadn't seen that Toshiba before. The 64gb solid state alone makes me want it. That's always a battle for me, because I feel like I *should* get a Mac because of all the motion and editing I do, but then I start pricing them out and realize I can have nearly double the processing power in a PC for the same price. And really half the reason I'd be buying a Mac would be to use their proprietary codecs and shit, which I hate to give in to. Feels like I'm paying them to make my life harder. As an editor, I literally stand up and leave the room if I pull a file from a client's drive and it's in ProRES or some other Mac shit. I have to leave the room, pace a bit, then come back and figure out when I can use my fiancee's mac to transcode it to a universal codec. The clients don't do it on purpose of course. They're just exporting the most intuitive way they can. But Mac does do it on purpose. My god I just hijacked this thread and tore down on Macs. Sorry, cocktail night. To sort of answer David's original question, I like external drives for archiving, but only use internal SATA drives for project media. I have a couple 500gb Caviars that do really well. Haven't had a problem for about 3 years. They're pretty cheap now too, well under $100 I think.

[videoblogging] 7D workflow for PC
I got a 7D at the beginning of the year and I'm still not comfortable with my workflow. Hoping someone here has some experience with it. 1. Pull clips into my raw video folder using the EOS Utility that comes with the camera. This works well. 2. Convert the 1080p h.264 clips to raw uncompressed AVIs with converter software (I use AVS). This is mainly because Premiere won't import them as is. Was hoping to find a preset online to download, but haven't seen one yet. 3. Pull them down into the timeline and render the whole thing. If you don't do this, it's pretty much unusably jerky. Even after this, it's not always smooth. I have a powerful machine too. I find that if I disable the audio, I can scrub the footage pretty smoothly, but that just means I have to disable the video track when I want to cut to the audio. FML. 4. Cut, render, compress. So this is a bitch and a half, and I have been reading up on other people's 7D workflows around the web, but 90% of them are on Macs. Has anyone here been working with 7D footage on a PC?

Re: [videoblogging] Vloggercue 2010
I was just asked to jot down the history of Vloggercue for someone, thought I'd post it here too: Vloggercue started in 2005 when a handful of videobloggers from around the world got together to talk about technical issues and content of web video, and what they were doing to shape it. Most everyone knew each other from their videos, but many had never met in person. The Blip.tv founders were there, after listening to videobloggers for months beforehand, and launched their service that night. There was beer and Asian barbecue, among other things. Vloggercue 2007 was another rooftop affair, this time with many facets of the web video industry represented, as at that point there was actually a web video industry. It was less about personal vloggers, and more about show creators and distribution. There were beer and ribs, among other things. Vloggercue 2010 will try to conjure the energy of Vloggercue 1, inviting anyone and everyone involved with web video. If you post videos of your cat to Youtube, you're welcome. If you founded Youtube, you're welcome. Everyone eats and drinks under the same Brooklyn roof, for free. On Mon, Apr 12, 2010 at 10:24 PM, Michael Sullivan sullele...@gmail.comwrote: ditto.

Unfortunately there is a part of me that is wildly entertained and amused by the streamyfail, considering it to be some kind of justice on a certain level. This isnt fair, as no doubt lots of blameless hard working people have been hurt by the streamyfail, but I suppose its a natural consequence of my disdain for the way some of the more visible parts of the 'industry' went, shoddy emulation of the existing media. What better way to symbolise two worlds colliding, and so much wasted potential, than to have a slick awards show humbled by technical glitches and naked people.

Great work! :) Rupert http://twittervlog.tv On 9 Apr 2010, at 16:26, mikehudack wrote: Thought I'd chime in about this. Blip.tv's mission is to make independent shows sustainable. We do this by providing what we call services of scale: technology, workflow automation, distribution and business development and ad sales. The theory is that most independent shows are too small to have all those things in house. So what we do is we aggregate a bunch of shows together (about 50,000 at last count) and provide those services to all of them at the same time. Our Dashboard is a key part of this (check out http://blip.tv/tour/ if you're not familiar). Our sales team is, too. We have a full nationwide sales team -- seven people -- plus two people in London. Our sales team is in London, Chicago, San Francisco and LA, Texas and New York. They sell bundles of shows to clients like General Motors, ATT, Samsung, Chili's, Best Buy and a bunch of others. We run those ads across our network and split the revenue 50/50 with show creators. We pay quarterly. This quarter we sent out a record number of checks and PayPal payments. Overall we sent out 25% more money than we did last quarter. A lot of smaller shows are getting smaller checks -- $25, $100, $200... and bigger shows are getting really big checks. Tens of thousands of dollars. There are now shows that use blip that are making hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. We're still at the beginning, but we're at the point now where there are more than a few shows out there with full-time creators. People who have quit their jobs and are making shows full-time. And there will be more next month, and more the month after that. We're really excited about what's happening. We're seeing a new industry emerge. Television networks and big studios have dominated video creation for sixty years -- ever since NBC debuted at the 1939 Worlds Fair. For the first time in generations it's possible for talented and driven folks to set out on their own and create their masterpieces and do it for a living. Let me know if you guys have any questions about our services, ad sales, payments, whatever. Happy to answer any and all questions you've got -- skeptical or not. We're an open book. The only thing I can't talk about is how much specific shows made. That's their confidential information and up to them to decide whether or not to share.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Veoh is dead
You're awesome Rox. Thanks for persevering and doing what you love. You are a great example to point to when people start out in this medium, or any medium actually. Some people get into something like web video or blogging and make something for a couple months, then get frustrated when nobody is paying them $100k for their work. As 99% of newcomers drop off after a few weeks or months because of their unfulfilled feelings of entitlement, the people who are really passionate push on and keep doing what they love regardless of financial reward. bitter As to Sull's points, there's a much larger quantity of creators these days, I agree, but the percentage of good stuff to bad stuff has not increased with the level of technology. The signal to noise is obviously much worse than when there were 100 of us making stuff. And the quality has suffered due to an influx of Hollywood types trying to stuff Hollywood productions into a web video box. Which usually doesn't work because they are generally out of work in the first place because they weren't very good at their jobs in Hollywood, and even if they were, that doesn't translate very well on the web. That translation problem could soon be a thing of the past since everything will be funneled to our TVs in the coming years, but it still doesn't solve the problem of bad writing and acting. /bitter Disclosure: I am a Streamys judge and IAWTV member.

Re: [videoblogging] Dickens and videoblogging
Definitely agree Jay. I love that aspects of videoblogging have become prevalent in feature filmmaking and vice versa. It's good to share. Also, Dickens basically invented Christmas as we know it. So there's that. On Sat, Dec 5, 2009 at 1:30 PM, Jay dedman jay.ded...@gmail.com wrote: nice points Adam. I'd push them a bit further. Dicken's didn't write novels. He wrote serialised pieces for serial publication that were later turned into novels. This makes his example even more relevant in the terms you point out. Yeah, Stephen King revived this model with Green Mile, where he published the book in pieces. Supposedly he didnt know the ending when he began. Everyone wants to push a known format onto videovlogging...but having fun with the medium and showing life in different ways makes more sense.

[videoblogging] Dickens and videoblogging
Hi, Just thought this was worth mentioning here. I'm reading a few books on Dickens to satisfy my inner fanboy and this idea just struck a chord with me. Dickens expanded the social/economic scope of the novel while expanding its linguistic resources with no regard for class status or stylistic propriety. Ultimately, he allowed the reader to regard more of the life around him by allowing it to be important enough to get into a novel. He thereby expanded the audience of the novel itself. In a sense this is exactly what videoblogging has done for film and television. By showing the audience more of the world around them, you show that all those minor details and in-between moments are actually important enough to document, thereby decreasing the threshold of importance and allowing more people behind the curtain of storytelling. Dickens was a forefather of videoblogging. Pretty badass! -- Adam Quirk http://wreckandsalvage.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I just have the feeling that AVCHD is so temporary...I don't need HD practically, but 16x9 I would like. Xacti's come to mind, if they aren't too wiggy with their UI and have some audio level control. One other thing I forgot to mention. I was going to get the Canon FS200, but the small sensor size turned me off. It's only got a tiny 1/6 CCD sensor (4.3mm^2), that's basically the smallest on the market. The Xacti on the other hand has a comparatively huge 1/2.5 CMOS sensor (25mm^2). See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_sensor_format There is also a big difference in the lens. The Xacti has a huge fast F1.8 to F2.5 over a 10x zoom range, but the Canon has an inferior F2.0 to F5.2 over a (gimmicky) 37x zoom range. More zoom is NOT good, it just means a smaller sensor size and slower lens for a given zoom level. Those things can make a huge difference in lower light and other image performance issues. So for the same price as the FS200, with the Xacti I got full HD, Hot Shoe, much bigger lens and sensor, and 300fps high speed shooting (useful to me, useless for some). No contest IMO. Dave. Yahoo!

If you have any control over the quality of the broadband connection at both ends you might eventually get to first-rate results, but I'd be surprised if it didn't take quite some time to perfect. This is all based on an assumed desire to keep the video glitch-free.

Open in QT, Export Movie, h.264 1280x720p 2.5mbps 3. Open in QT, Export for Web, iPhone m4v and iPhone 3gp 4.

We will also still provide a download link so people can save the converted file to their computer (in MP4 format). We all talked about this day coming so it makes sense. These free video hosting sites must start making choices on what they provide for free. If Youtube didnt have Google to bankroll their free service, I would expect sites to start charging $$.

You throw video into the site, then don't really worry about what happens to it or what format it's in. Video creators trying to build a larger footprint will start hosting their own videos. Probably using some kind if user interface on top of Amazon S3 that lets you upload and manage a whole library of videos. Be awesome if this system also had a transcoding engine that I could manually tweak the settings for the different versions I want.

[videoblogging] Tangent, a crowdfunding experiment
Hey all, I just launched a new project called Tangent. It's a bit more coherent than things I've made in the past. It's a history series that shows how all things past, present, and future are related and reciprocal. The pilot episode shows how credit cards are related to the Pledge of Allegiance, Eisenhower, and the Interstate Highway System. http://tangent.ws The show is only half the news though. I'm also crowdfunding the production budget. I've split the show up into $10 shares, kept 51%, and am selling off the other 49% to individual investors. These investors will potentially profit from any ad revenue or licensing fees the show makes over the next 2 years. I've laid it out in fairly simple terms here: http://tangent.ws/funding So if you have some extra loot lying around (and really who doesn't these days), I'd love your support. I'm going to be busting my ass to get this thing spread across the web, and glad-handing my way into as many distribution deals as possible. So it may actually be possible to make some money off this thing. No promises though.

As the medium matures, we face a crossroads: will technology and public policy support a more participatory cultureĀone that encourages and enables free expression and broader cultural engagement? Or will online video become a glorified TV-on-demand service, a central part of a permissions-based culture?

This library of full-length content will be growing substantially over time with new content added every week, and eventually the goal is to make as much programming available on the web as possible. This will include local content, full-length documentaries, and extensive archives. WhatĀs not yet apparent is that this is only the first step of a much larger project that will serve many different constituents at PBS Ā most importantly our community of 100Ās of local stations. There are components that enable stations to publish their own content, share content between stations, and build custom online video experiences. WeĀre also using the same underlying platform to power video experiences on various PBS producer websites and also PBS KIDS GO! http://pbskids.org/go/video/ The whole effort has required a lot of coordination across departments at PBS and could not have been possible without extensive collaboration with local stations and producers.

For $75 a month, a customer can get 100 GB a month at download speeds of 10 MB per second and upload speeds of 1 MB. The last offering would include overage charges of $1 per gigabyte a month, which will be capped at $75. That means that for $150 per month customers could have virtually unlimited usage, Hobbs said. OK $150 a month for 'virtually unlimited' seems a tad pricey. Maybe $75/month for 100GB is slightly more sane though, does anybody who uses a lot of video online monitor their bandwidth to see if they get anywhere near 100GB a month? Its expensive enough to moan at the companies involved, but isnt extreme enough to confirm that 'they hope to kill Internet video before it's any more popular.' which is what that thing you pasted is trying to suggest in a rather hysterical way. Yes they want to protect their revenue stream in general, but I dont think they mind how people are getting their video, as long as they can still extract about the same $/month per customer. If we are thinking that in the near future people will be watching many hours of high-def TV via the internet every day, then there are capacity issues which someone will have to pay for. I never heard what happened to the battle in the UK between the ISPs and the BBC who were using peer2peer to make TV shows available to customers, thus saddling the ISPs with a greater bandwidth bill, causing them to moan, All I know is that viewers have certainly embraced downloading TV shows legitimately via the net here, and so far there has not been any substantial change to ISP price structure or quality of service as a result.

Re: [videoblogging] YouTube will lose half a billion dollars this year
It's still early in the game. They're rolling out new revenue models all the time. This one seems to be doing well: http://www.webpronews.com/topnews/2009/04/09/youtube-launches-click-to-buy-in-eight-new-countries Credit Suisse analysts may have to revisit their estimate that YouTube will lose $470 million this year. The site has rolled out its Click-to-Buy program - which is intended to result in quite a lot of revenue-sharing - in eight new countries. Click-to-Buy's best success storyhttp://mashable.com/2009/01/22/youtube-boost-sales/ so far has probably been that of Monty Python. After the comedy troupe launched a YouTube channel with links to Amazon, sales of one DVD boxed set soared by about 23,000 percent. Not bad for content that's a couple of decades old, right? On Wed, Apr 8, 2009 at 10:09 PM, J. Rhett Aultman wli...@weatherlight.comwrote: ads don't work with ephemeral content. Surely that's exactly where they do work? Most of the media we consume is ephemeral - TV, newspapers, online news, we see adverts alongside those things as they stream into our lives. On-demand video is largely different from that, isn't it? it's short and self- contained and chosen individually and unlike TV and news, it's not time-sensitive - it's actually less ephemeral. No; it's actually more ephemeral when you consider it from a position of total impact. The overwhelming majority of YouTube videos reach tiny numbers of viewers who consume it once. This bears no comparison to, say, TV or newspapers, which reach much larger audiences. It also bears no comparison to media where there are smaller audiences that accept repeat exposure. Such media are ripe for targeted product placement. But most YouTube videos simply don't make good raw material for an ad. The audience is small and not defined, the video will be seen once per viewer (who may not even make it the majority of the way through), the producer isn't available to exploit their relationship with the viewer to endorse things...it's basically an advertising void. But most of it - 97% apparently - is unmonetizable with advertising, because individual videos' viewing figures are too low - and maybe it's all too fragmented and uncategorizable, and perhaps advertisers are not prepared to see their adverts up against every little home video and copyright-infringing clip. Even if those things eventually collectively gather millions of views and last for a lot longer than most ephemeral advertising-funded media. Again, consider ephemeral from a standpoint of overall cultural staying power, and not just from how long something is on a screen once, and you'll see that the YouTube videos are culturally ephemeral. You actually touch on that issue in your above paragraph. According to Credit Suisse, YouTube seems to be making $50-100m from ads in videos, adjacent banners and sponsored videos. That's as good as they can do all year, and they have 40% of the total online video market worldwide, at a time when online video is booming? Right, and this is because they're monetizing wrong. Let's say that 40% of the car market, in terms of cars on the road, was GM's, and GM was found to be losing money badly. In reality, it's because GM loses $1 per car they sell because they do everything wrong. Is it valid to ask if cars as we know them will be viable? No. It's not that cars aren't viable. It's that GM is doing it wrong. Sure, online viewership is tiny compared to TV, but the gap between TV and online video advertising seems to be disproportionately large. This could have everything to do with a casual numbers game not showing the real details. Especially when you'd imagine that online video would provide greater opportunities for more targeted addressable advertising, supposedly the holy grail. Imagination isn't reality, though, and presupposition gets you nowhere. If YouTube isn't doing this sufficiently, then they're losing money. But the TV ad industry in the US alone is worth $80 billion, 60% of total advertising spend. Superbowl ads this year earned NBC over $200m - that alone is perhaps between 2 and 4 times as much as Google's making all year from YouTube video ads. Of course, it's distorting to use the SuperBowl in a good comparison here, because it's well known that the SuperBowl is basically tulip season for advertisers. People spend on those ads because they exist. It's similar to how city after city hosts an Olympic Games but never profits on the venture. That said, I understand where you're trying to go with this, but you keep treating this as a problem with online video when, in fact, it's a problem with YouTube. Your assumption is that, if YouTube can't do it, nobody can. That itself only makes sense if you can prove that the only people capable of doing it are YouTube and what supporting engineers Google gives them. Is

[videoblogging] The Interwebs show, business of tech and new media
Video globbers, I just launched a new project that you folks may find mildly interesting. It's called The Interwebs, a weekly show about the business of tech and new media. We're going to try to make it 60% smart and 60% funny. Most pertinent to this list is our closing segment each week called Vital Signs, in which my co-producer Nate and I openly discuss our statistics, viewership, and finances; all the other ins and outs of producing a show for the web. AOL keyword: transparency. This week Vital Signs starts at around the 7:04 mark: http://theinterwebs.tv/post/92264825/welcome-to-the-interwebs-0-24-this-week-nate Eat it all though if you have time, it's good food.

Re: [videoblogging] The Interwebs show, business of tech and new media
I agree completely about the sound, you'd think I would know better by now. Thing is, that outdoor interview was impromptu and I didn't have any equipment with me. The gals are new to video and shot a lot of that segment themselves, but are definitely learning fast. We'll use lapels for the in-studio stuff from now on. I don't remember why we didn't in the first place. Probably booze. So there are my excuses, along with a promise that next episode will be better. I've already shot a couple segments for it, both of which are mic'd properly. We send our stuff out to TubeMogul as well, and have a few hundred views across the other various platforms, but we're concentrating on building our on-site audience with the blip player for now. We're using blip for a bunch of reasons, but mostly because they're the best at finding sponsorships deals for shows.

Others are ready now to make the decision to live an indigenous forest bound life all year round. You will find yours way as we find ours. We are inviting you all to begin the return to earth, to spend time exploring and living in and with the elements for as long as it feels right to you. And we invite you to do it in the company of people like you who know there is a better way. This 3 year project - Harmonic Emergence- Return to Earth consists of a series of events and experiences held in natural settings on both public and private land. The experiences are designed to reconnect us to our natural habitat and to encourage and teach people how to live with what nature offers us, not greedily or disprespectfully but generously and with reverence. March 20, 2009 to December 21,2012.

Re: [videoblogging] HDV tapes
I haven't had any problems with Panasonic mini dv tapes for recording HD, and haven't noticed any quality difference when using HD tapes vs SD tapes either. Not worth the ~50% markup in my opinion. Definitely a good idea to stick to one brand per camera though, as has been mentioned here before. Something about the coating they use to lubricate the tape is different among the various brands, and can cause jams if you mix and match. Search the archive for a better explanation.

Re: [videoblogging] Tricorn Live Now
Thanks everyone who showed up. It was great seeing all your names in the chatter box, even if I didn't get a chance to chatter back. The live aspect was twofold, we had our webcams plugged in, and occasionally during the broadcast (rarely) we'd cut to them. But the entire hour was spent selecting clips from each of our folders. We spent a couple weeks gathering video from various sources on the vague topic of health, then each of us gradually built up a small library of clips in our Mogulus studio folders. We had scripted the first 3 minutes of the hour, but after that it was a free-for-all. All three of us had our fingers on the buttons, so if we saw a clip from one of the other two that we thought we could follow, we'd cue it up. Sometimes we'd trump each other with a clip we thought was better for the flow. As Valdez said last night after it was over, it really helps to do this with people you trust. It was exhilarating. I'm really looking forward to next month's. We're going to mix in a little more live webcam action I think. Also, we're taking recommendations for themes. I'm personally leaning towards Space or Satellites, but it's still wide open.

Re: [videoblogging] MP4 video track missing
Thanks Rambo. I think it turned out to be a strange combination of both aspect ration and frame rate. I tried running it through every compression app I have, and nothing worked. Finally, I ended up just bringing the files into Premiere one by one, adjusting fps and aspect, re-aligning the audio and video tracks (they somehow got disassociated) and then rendering out from there. Incredible hassle. I'm not sure why Vegas did this, as I was pretty explicit in my compression settings I thought. But this definitely turned me off from that product.

So parts of a photo behind or in front of people which were sky or grass or sea would be replaced by video of the same. Was done very well - not drawing too much attention to itself - so there'd be a slight shimmer on the sea, or a slight blowing in the grass. Then sometimes a slight Ken Burns effect was added, but with a 3D effect created by splitting the foreground, middleground and background elements into separate layers and animating them appropriately. Creating a slight feeling of tracking towards the subject rather than just zooming. I expect a slight grain/flicker was added to the image to make it seem like a video GV rather than a still, too. People who weren't film- savvy might not even have noticed. It definitely brought a little life to old pictures and blurred the boundary between them and the film/video clips they were intercut with.

Re: [videoblogging] Dropping frames, long firewire?
Amazingly, this problem decided to solve itself. I have no idea how or why, but I have no more latency issues. Thanks for the help, universe. On Sat, Dec 6, 2008 at 5:25 AM, Jan McLaughlin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Troubleshoot: Have you tried the setup with a shorter firewire with the same (or different) results? If the problem solves itself with shorter firewire, then some kind of amp in the line may be just the thing. Peter @ Gotham Sound can probably lend you one for an hour to see if that solves your issue. Do you have the capacity to run one or both Windows Vegas on the internal hard drive? if so, try one, the other then both on the internal drive, see if that solves the issue. If that doesn't work, try the setup having moved the firewire so it runs perpendicular as it crosses the power cables. I don't think your cable run fits the problem you describe - rather, the bad result of such interference would be electromagnetic 'futz' to the picture and/or audio. That said, I would run audio / video cables so they make perpendicular crossings of power cables (and avoiding power cable coils altogether) in any and every event as a preventative measure. Better to make a longer electrical run than a longer firewire run...

You could do it the low-rent hacky way and just use black marker on white paper, video yourself writing on it, then reverse it and key out the black in post.

Re: [videoblogging] Record live video via firewire
I think the tape problem can be remedied by just having a tape in the deck, you don't have to actually record to the tape.

In iMovie (the version before the more recent one) you don't care about the TC normally so it doesn't matter. The other problem i had is that if i used the sony hdv without tape, the camara entered in demo mode after some time and off course the video capture was a bit crazy after beinh in demo... :) But more or less you get the job done if you tape it simultaneously. hope it helps even if its a mac experience.

Of course these assholes have the right to free expression/speech etc. But if I was Mike i would have kindly requested the McCain campaign to find some other hosting service.

Having seen and heard and been influenced by European ideas of speech laws, it fucking sickens me to see discussion of banning or censoring certain points of view. I don't give a fuck if John McCain says that liberal democrats are donkey-fucking satanists and that we as a people have to rise up against them to save our culture. He's allowed to say whatever the fuck he wants. Thank god. So-called hate speech laws in Europe are one of the many reasons I'll never move there. As flawed as my government is, I know for a fact, as predicated in the goddamned constitution that I live under, that I can say whatever the fuck I want about whomever the fuck I want, whenever, wherever, and to whomever I want. I only wish other countries had these rights. Yahoo! Groups Links [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[videoblogging] 3GP from PC to Mobile
Hello, I'm looking to send 3GP videos from a PC at our physical venue to many different mobile phones. I'm looking for a solution without having to buy a short code, GSM modem, etc. Maybe some open-source software? Any recommendations? Thanks, Adam [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

[videoblogging] Audio visualization
Does anyone know of any software that can do live visualizations of audio files, like iTunes or Windows Media Player does? The stuff that looks cool when you're sober and really cool when you're not? Ideally it would be customizable with color schemes, and possibly even image overlays like a logo. Thanks, Adam [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
