Here's a longer article about the process from the former editor in chief: http://www.nieman.harvard.edu/reports/06-4NRwinter/p16-0604-haagerup.html The important part is for a newspaper to remember to do good journalism and not force video into every story, but only where it makes sense. My local paper is really good at telling local stories - I don't see why *not* using video makes you unable to tell good stories. Using video *and* text *and* audio gives you opportunities to tell a wider range of stories, but simply embracing video does not mean you'll become a good storyteller. American local tv-news are notoriously bad at adapting stories with no obvious images for tv (frequent use of pointless and long stand-ups is the repeat offender).

There are several advantages to training traditional newspaper journalists to be able to use more media (writing for the web, audio and video) as well as re-training traditional photojournalists to take stills (and vice versa). Granted if you move from being a specialist to being a generalist the results are not likely to be as polished, but maybe that's not a bad thing.

Re: [videoblogging] Conversation Tracking (was: Plugin for Video Comments)
It's wonderful to see excitement about this topic again, but as Sull says some level of samepageism is missing. I also have a feeling this list is not the optimal place to design such a system (a smaller working group would be better for starters). The last time the topic was seriously discussed on this list was back in August 2004 (!). It would be helpful to go back and read the comments back then to avoid having the exact same discussion all over again. I've collected my blog posts from then here: http://www.solitude.dk/tag/conversation+tracking (also includes links to some relevant threads on this group). There are many words on that page because this is a complicated issue. And yes, I still have a working copy of a pingback client/server solution that enables the technical side of this (no need to modify any spec. The technical tools are all available. No new specs needs to be written for this, no new CSS classes are needed). Code examples are also nice, but I think it's way too early for them at this point. It would be far more valuable to stop and sit down and think long and hard about how people communicate and converse on the web in general. What I've seen in this thread so far deals only with a very limited scenario (a person who posts a video and nothing else in response to a different video). That scenario doesn't even begin to represent how people are conversing, not in videoblogs, not in general on the web. A distributed commenting system must succeed in at least three cases: 1. Must be media agnostic and not make assumptions about the role of any media objects. Comments are not just a video or some text. At times the video is the main focal point of a comment, at times the video is a mere illustration and the meat is somewhere else. The system must not assume. 2. Must be able to support any kind of media mix in each comment. Comments are video with text or text with a photo or photo with a video (and so on and so on). The system must be able to handle these different kinds of media mixes. 3. Must be able to support a network structure (as the web), and not just threaded and flat comments. I'm seeing a lot of implicit assumptions in the proposals in this thread. It is imperative to make those assumptions explicit so it can be evaluated whether or not they are the correct ones. That discussion is not a technical discussion and that's why I think it's best to prohibit the use of technical jargon (no one is allowed to say RSS, ATOM, HTML etc.) to keep the focus on *what* kind of system you are looking to build before you go about solving *how* to build it. - Andreas Den 05.02.2008 kl. 13:33 skrev David Meade [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I like the use of cite and rev/rel -- it's meaning that's already defined. cite a rel=enclosure class=comment href=... type=video/...img class=thumbnail src=thumbnail.jpg //a In Response to: a rev=comment href=http://example.com/what_i_am_commenting_to;.../a /cite Seems to say it all.

I mean using the Ipod settings at 640X480 in itself can still create a rather large file depending on the length of the video.

My advice for anyone coming is to fly into a major European hub (London, Paris, Frankfurt, etc. etc.) and check http://whichbudget.com to see which budget airlines fly to Budapest. Budapest is also within easy train distance to Vienna, Bratislava, and is a bit longer to Munich. Train tickets can be VERY cheap, but you have to book upwards of three months in advance to get the omg-I-paid-so-little fares. I don't have the balls to do that kind of flying (I know others do). If you book your trip as two separate flights and your first flight is delayed there is *no* compensation for the flight you miss. Maybe not a big deal coming in, but a giant financial pain in the ass if you miss your transatlantic flight coming home. If I were to book flights like that I'd leave at least 24 hours in the connecting city (and then you have to pay for a hotel meaning your costs would end up around the same). Budapest is beautiful.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: VlogEurope 2008 date and time suggestion
Budapest does not seem to me to be the most accessible european city from the US. While it's true that the only direct flight I can see from the US to Budapest is from NYC (with Malév). Budapest is very accessible. These cities are the major European hubs: * London * Paris * Frankfurt * Amsterdam Fly into one of those and connect on to Budapest from there. Which one depends on your airline of choice (if you're a Star Alliance kind of guy like me you'd likely fly Lufthansa or United through Frankfurt or Munich and then to Budapest from there -- if you enjoy the hell that is British safety regulations you'd fly through London). The online search tools should find these connecting flights for you automatically. Remember to leave some room in your first European Union airport for clearing customs. Malév is the national Hungarian airline and I can see they're a part of the Oneworld alliance along with American Airlines and British Airways. If you have no affiliation with other alliances I'd start by searching for deals through those airlines. - Andreas -- Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen http://www.solitude.dk/

So, a childmovie track can contain a list of as many films as you like. These can be included as part of the movie (by scrfipting in live stage pro) or in the template's case by being read in via the xml file (which is also being managed via coding in livestage pro). Now, it is easy to load different movies in the childmovie list, the code is simple (more or less state the name of the childmovie track you need to address and then tell it which film in the list for that track to load and play). to do what you ask you would need to probably script somethign that: 1. got the total length of the current childmovie clip 2. checked to see if it had got to the end 3. if at the end then load another you could also do this just by checking if it is playing or not, on the assumption that if it isn't playing then it's got to the end. there would be a pause as the next clip was loaded (due to all the usual network issues), but no doubt there's some clever preload thing you might be able to do to hide this pause. short answer is that the only way i know to do this is via livestage pro, and the status of that quite expensive software is very grey at the moment.

David, you can rest assured that people would have to stay on the lumiere site for over 3 hours before your video would be played. There is a clear link to the blogpost where the video came from right below it (same way iTunes handles videos). I have received no complaints from anyone over the videos being played on the site - I have however received positive feedback from people who think it is a very nice touch. No one has ever e-mailed me or Brittany with a request to remove a link from the site. Any speculation on whether or not the link would be removed would be just that, speculation. Please don't start making up issues that are not there. Are you are outraged on your own behalf or on the behalf of unknown strangers? Apart from the 3-4 very vocal people in this thread we have received many positive comments from people who have created lumiere videos. They have used the constraints to experiment with the way they produce videos. The most common feedback has been that using the lumiere rules have helped them see video in a new light and that they have helped them break free of the practices they were trapped in (but didn't realize). I will encourage anyone to experiment in such a way, either using the lumiere rules or a different set of constraints. I am partial to the lumiere rules because I think they are formulated in a way that makes creating lumiere videos very easy. I especially hope that Mike Moon who have created many memorable lumiere videos (my favourite is this one from November: http://moon.blogspot.com/2007/11/lumiere-falling.html ) is able to see that Brittany's and my intentions for maintaining the project does not need to match with his intentions for creating the videos and that he'll be creating more in the future.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Rox Lumiere for Rupert
I can tell you that Aske Dam, who first introduced me to the rules creates his lumiere videos with one notable exception - he allows himself to break one of the rules. Most often this is the no audio rule for the same reasons you outline. I have found the 1 minute rule to be the one I most often would like to break. Like when I put up a video that's almost two minutes, but otherwise follows the rules: http://www.solitude.dk/archives/20071018-1325 (I don't add that video to the collection). In this case I even put up a 1 minute lumiere version (obviously breaking the no editing rule by trimming the original footage). Only a small subset of the lumiere videos adhere to the strictest interpretations of the rules. Video compression can easily be seen as a type of video effect, many people trim footage and almost as many add credit rolls or title cards (breaking the no edit rule). It is curious that you mention the no audio rule since it's my own personal favourite. Removing the audio makes the videos more universally accessible. There is no spoken language so you can watch and understand a person's video even if you do not speak his language. Futhermore the lack of audio forces the view to focus on the visuals 100%. Most importantly though it takes control away from the video creator and gives the viewer more control. This is one of the areas the lumiere videos excel at. You, the video creator, have less to say about what the video means and the viewers have more freedom to create their own meanings from the visual. We feel that these benefits (as far as our goals go anyway) outweigh whatever effect the audio has (don't tell me you didn't re-create the sound of waves in your head as you watched Rox' video, no audio track was needed :p) Aske has chided me last time we met for insisting on keeping all rules intact and as you can see he has not submitted any of his own videos (partly because he has no online prescence, partly because his videos all break one of the rules). We felt that insisting on all rules worked towards the various goals (more room for contemplation and viewer interpretations) and also stricter rules makes it easier to get involved and create a video (fewer variables means it's easier to record). - Andreas Den 17.01.2008 kl. 13:40 skrev Steve Watkins [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Well you did answer my concernt about the term 'participants' off-list,t hanks for that.

I will expand on my opniion that not being allowed any sound is a bit limiting. I can see why this clause would be desirable, the manifesto talks about some of the things it wants to avoid, and no audio makes it easy for people to avoid things liek monologues, voiceovers etc. My gripe is that many of the moments I could want to capture, would be so much nicer experiences if the ambient sound was present. And for xample I missed the sound of the sea in Rox's video, those waves seemed sort of impotent without their voice. The 'solution' to this is no doubt to come up with another name set of rules for something else that is similar but includes such audio. Its not really me to be into that sort of thing, if I want to make such vids in future I will probably just do it without giving them a name or trying to get others to make them to, but thats just me.

Heath, you are not understanding what the manifesto is or what the video collection is. We did not tell anyone about the manifesto. Those who found it did so due to their own curiosity. This was a conscious choice for us as we would rather have people discover it on their own. In time it was picked up by boing boing, letting the cat out of the proverbial bag. This is however irrelevant. If you read the manifesto you will notice that it does not prescribe a defined behaviour people must follow to be included (other than the six lumiere rules, naturally). Nor does it say that the videos in the collection are made by people who stand behind the manifesto. If you are reading that you must be deliberately misunderstanding what it says. The manifesto is quite clearly Brittany's and my reasoning to creating this video collection. We speak for ourselves and not for anyone else. It is right there at the bottom just above the six lumiere rules): As such, we propose and curate, as inspired by media evangelist Aske Dam and the remoscope collective, a collection of personal videos that adhere to the following principles (arguably the natural limits of the original Lumieres) The collection is proposed by us and it is a curated collection, managed by us. It is our names below the manifesto, not anyone else's. These are our reasons for collecting the lumiere videos that people are creating - it says *nothing* about why people are creating these videos. I am sure there are as many reasons as there are videos. As I have already pointed out to Cheryl, we gave it much thought that some people may disagree with what we wrote. As I have already pointed out this was one of our goals. We had no responsibility to let anyone know about it ahead of time as we are only speaking for ourselves, explaining why we are curating this collection of videos. There is no terms of service. We are not service providers for you. We are linking to works that we find interesting (namely works that follow the six lumiere rules). This is how the internet works. You make a webpage that contains inks to other webpages. When I write blog posts I do not ask for permission to mention other websites. I did not email Hillary Clinton, Jay Dedman or Wordpress.org's maintainer to ask permission to talk about them or link to them - just to take 3 examples from my last 4 blog posts. The idea that anyone will have to ask permission to link is silly. It's a curated collection of links, that's all it is. We get submissions through the site and we find lumiere videos in the wild that hasn't been specifically submitted and we add those too. This is how the internet works. The difference between the manifesto and an average blog is perhaps that we have stated our reasons clearly and that we use longer sentences. That is hardly something you can fault us for. - Andreas PS. As I said to Cheryl: If you don't want people to link to your videos, delete them. Den 14.01.2008 kl. 09:20 skrev Heath [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Andreas - I am curious, did you let everyone know when you put out your Lumiere video manifesto? I know I made my Lumiere video (July 07) before this manifesto was put onto the site. I know at that time I learned about Lumiere video's through Verdi and I remember checking the site and just seeing links to videos, I remember reading the site and to be honest I don't remember Brittany's name being on the site, I remember your's. The reason I am curious about you letting everyone know about the manifesto is this, if you didn't let everyone know and I know I don't recall any mention of a manifesto, is that you and Brittany (and whomever else may have been involved) decieded to create this AFTER already having the site up and running under a defined set of rules. Did you give any thought that some may disagree? Did you give any thought that you had a responability to let people know what you were doing in case someone had an issue? Did you feel think that was the viewers or creator's responability? I view it as a change in a terms of service kind of thing, and I think you should have let pepole know, but that's just me. And yes I did read the manifesto and I agree with many things you stated, but I would have liked to know that before now, and would have liked the opportunity to remove my link if I did not agree. That simple courtesty would have been nice.

Den 13.01.2008 kl. 11:49 skrev Cheryl [EMAIL PROTECTED]: You have *got* to be kidding, Andreas. When you and Brittany started getting into lumieres, the only person I saw talk about them or promote them was you. It was you encouraging me to try doing them. You picked up the ones I made without tagging them properly, and gently taught me how to tag them if I wanted them to be picked up for the lumiere showcase site. If I choose to relate those facts of my personal experience, will I suddenly be a jerk for not looking up Brittany's involvement and finding some way to mention it, even though it's not what called my attention to lumiere video? Rox writes genuinely and lovingly about why she decided to try a lumiere, and you could have chosen to comment in a positive way to honor Brittany for her contributions and encourage Rox to continue to experiment with the form. Instead you choose to be insulted, and tell us that Brittany does, too (though surely she can speak for herself?). You choose to answer negatively instead of positively. I started with lumieres because it was *fun*, and because of your encouragement, and because some of Brittany's work was inspiring to me, though I didn't know at the time she was your collaborator. The second the manifesto appeared, I stopped, because it doesn't represent my thoughts or feelings and I don't want to be associated with it. I don't even want my work appearing on the same site with it! I didn't say so publicly or ask you to remove links to the lumieres I made because I didn't want to insult you and Brittany. I just decided to quietly stop producing lumieres and let my actions speak for themselves. But because you feel it necessary to treat Rox in this manner, I think it's time to tell you the manifesto *does* put people off, and suggest it as one possible reason lumiere video isn't getting a lot of discussion in the group. You manage to suck all the fun out of making them. If I've learned anything in the past 30 days, it's that I can't insult you, Brittany or anyone else. No one can.

I've been confused about the license of vPIP for a while now, maybe Enric can help out. I realise that I'm one of the few people who have actually read through the vPIP source code more than once starting with the first versions Enric released way back when and as a result some of my obversations are more esoteric. The licenses.txt states that the cirneViewer.swf is conventional copyright and the rest of the package is LGPL (not GPL). But vPIP consists of a collection of scripts, some by Enric, some not. * The .js files contain text stating that they are covered by the X11 license. * jQuery is either MIT or GPL (I'm guessing MIT is what enric chose since bundling it would be impossible under GPL). * The thickbox is clearly marked as Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike, but the thickbox parts of vpip.js are not marked so it's impossible to see which parts of the file are LGPL or X11 or CC BY-SA. * Cortado is GPL as far as I know, but I can't find a note about this anywhere in the vPIP package * The source code for the code generator is nowhere to be found making the LGPL license kinda worthless since it's impossible to do anything with the complied swf file. * The jeroen flv player bundled has no license information, but if it's identical to the one on his website it's CC BY-NC-SA, not LGPL. This kind of stuff is important to get sorted out. It needs to be very clear what parts are covered by which license.

Further research indicates that his site and work have not been much discussed, that much of his work (still viewable thanks to the wayback machine) was absolutely extraordinary, and that he was a genuine pioneer in this medium, posting web video since the mid-90s and, while not exactly videobloging, having a regularly updated site for the last decade consisting of constantly updated videos. Really the only thing that makes it not one of the first videoblogs is the lack of RSS. Further, he was regularly teaching this to people.

It depends on more factors. While there usually can be no expectation of privacy (there are exceptions to the public is fair game rule of thumb) you still have to worry about things like commercial misappropriation depending on your intended use. As Brook already pointed out. And all of this varies by country of course. I've said this many times before, but I'll gladly repeat myself. Don't just read brief messages on legal forums. These issues are complex. Get a real book that deals with all the aspects of mass media law. You do need to educate yourself.

Re: [videoblogging] Creative Commons and Virgin being sued for photo use
This is not a copyright issue. Virgin are in the clear copyright-wise since the photos was released under the Attribution license. This is a privacy and misappropriation (or likeness for commercial use) issue, as you mention yourself when you say that the problem is the lack of a model release. Totally different thing. - Andreas Den 22.09.2007 kl. 14:48 skrev Rupert [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Apologies if this has been discussed already while I was away - I searched, but didn't find it. Virgin Mobile has used CC licensed photos from Flickr in a billboard campaign in Australia. They used a photo of a girl under the slogan Dump your Pen Pal The girl, who lives in Texas, feels like she's being insulted - it was a photo taken by a friend, and neither the friend nor she were told by Virgin Media that they were using it. I bet Virgin thought that because they were using it in Australia, she'd never find out. But of course, a photo of the billboard was posted on Flickr. DUH! Her family are now suing Virgin and Creative Commons. Virgin say they had a right to use it, and no obligation to tell anybody, because it was licensed under just an Attribution license - so all they had to do was put his flickr id in the bottom left of the billboard. The general consensus in discussions seems to be that Virgin CC will lose, because under Australian and US law, the CC license is outweighed by the fact that Virgin didn't obtain a model release. Interesting that they are also suing Creative Commons. And it has echoes of all our previous discussions on Creative Commons here, and implications for all of us who include random people in our CC licensed videos. If you wonder how this is relevant to you - imaging you shoot a video of a stranger in passing - at a carnival, say, wearing a wacky costume - and some huge multinational uses that image or footage to use in an advertising campaign which pokes fun at the stranger. Suddenly you're in the middle of a shitbag salad. I would suggest always including non-commercial in your CC license, unless you've got very good reason not to.

There must be a magic setting I'm missing. Use Quicktime Pro where you have absolute control over the settings. 3) I'm creating videos at 480x360 24fps. Is this part of the problem? I h264 related more to 320x240 or some other size? No. I'm creating weirder sizes (500x376 and 600x339) and they look smokin' hot. Something tells me that Premiere isn't smokin' hot. Just use Quicktime Pro instead. We're at a critical stage in video becomeing popular. It's too bad there's no standard, I'm afraid Flash is the closest we have to one. (Opinions solicited) h.264 is a codec, Flash is a container format. The two cannot be compared.

Re: [videoblogging] Videoblogging Influences
Lately I've been creating lumiere videos (along with Brittany Shoot). The constraints were are following were written down by a japanese art collective and the goal was to mimic the conditions under which the Lumiere Brothers created their first films in 1895. The rules are simple ( http://www.solitude.dk/archives/20070522-2202/ ): * 60 seconds max. * Fixed camera * No audio * No zoom * No edit * No effects You can check out examples via technorati: http://www.technorati.com/posts/tag/lumierevideo My own favourites so far are http://www.solitude.dk/archives/20070522-2337/ (beautiful in its ugliness) and http://bshoot.blogspot.com/2007/06/lumiere-3.html (the visual equivalent of a punch to the gut). I have come to like these movies very much and I hope more people will join in and create one or two (or more) of these moments. Tag yours lumierevideo if you do (feel free to e-mail me too). I like these movies because the viewer will not get much out of these unless he puts something of himself into them. The viewer has to work harder to extract meaning from the videos. It appears to me that the more of yourself you put into these movies when watching, the more you get out of it. Especially the no audio requirement seems to insure this. In the modern world the lumiere videos remind me of snapshots from your mobile phone of those fleeting moments in your everyday. The funny sign at the store or the weird crack in the sidewalk on your way home. They are rarely (or at least shouldn't be in my opinion) like the carefully crafted photograph taht you colour corrected for 30 minutes before uploading.

It's a disaster in a scenario like this, where there are different opinions on a concrete subject that has not been academically researched. Videoblogs have been researched, not by many, but they there. At the very least there is a lot of blog research that can be applied without too many issues. Back in 2005 I did a short, short list which includes a couple of vlog papers URL: http://www.solitude.dk/archives/2005-1530/ In our own community alone we have Adrian Miles (and the rest of the RMIT crew, you know who you are), Trine Berry, Richard Hall, Kristoffer Gansing plus the large group of grad students (too many to count, but they're very smart. I know because I'm one). I approve all the members on the vlogtheory group so I know for a fact there are many in the academics who either work with vlogs or are interested in working with vlogs in the future. I think the issue is that those who are involved in research are not interested in the wikipedia article and who can blame them when everything gets deleted en masse? My own reason for not getting involved is that the Neutral Point of View policy more often than not gets interrpreted as No Point of View and I don't have time for that crap (See URL: http://www.solitude.dk/archives/20061028-2354/ ). -- Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen URL: http://www.solitude.dk/

So we have to find MSM sources for that? Which is total BS. Using tv, newspapers to track language use made sense back when those were the only records of daily use, and it still makes sense in many cases today.

AVI is a container format (like MOV) so it makes no sense to talk about file size and quality in regards to AVI. What matters is which video codec you use inside your AVI wrapper. Just as you can encode your .mov in h.263 or h.264 you can use different codecs inside your AVI wrapper (DivX for example). The AVI container has next to no impact on the file size. AppleTV can play your h.264 videos (with some limitations, but if you're encoding at more than the 5 mbps that is the AppleTV's limit you shouldn't be videoblogging that video anyway). -- Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen URL: http://www.solitude.dk/

It should be that the bottom one is totally covered up by the top one, but it is still there. Now Double click on the top video in the timeline -- which opens that clip in the Viewer window (and you've opened that particular instance of that clip -- not the original clip. Very important, so be sure to double click on the piece of video that is in the timeline) Next looking at the Viewer window, click on the motion tab. In there somewhere (i'm writing this from memory, not from looking in FCP - so you might need to poke around a bit) there's a control to resize the video. Right now it says 100%. You can make it 25% or 20% or whatever you want. That will shrink the video. To move it over in the corner, you can either change the numbers that are in this box (right now center = 0, 0. To move it down and right I think you could type 160, 120 or something like that. Or maybe it's 160, -120.) OR instead of doing it by numbers, you can just grab the video and move it. To do that 1) looking that the canvas window, there's a little icon above the video image that has a pull down menu -- you need to set that window to image and wireframe. This will give you the handles for dragging. 2) Make sure the playhead is in the right place on the timeline so you are looking at the part of the video that you want to edit (and not something else later or earlier). 3) Grab the little video and drag it to where you want. i hope this help, Jen Jen Simmons [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://jensimmons.com http://milkweedmediadesign.com 267-235-6967 On Mar 17, 2007, at 2:11 am, quietleader wrote: I apologize if this questions is off topic.

I looked up 'fatigue' for you. You're in the clear. I can't say that I suffer conference fatigue (my conference count for the past year is only 3 or 4), but I do have a patience problem when it comes to panels and speakers. I feel this is more a problem with how most panels are conducted rather than a problem with the concept of panels. The cozyness of a camping trip is lost when there are 5000 campers. I'm just sayin'. It is also worth considering that holding a vertigo event in continuation of barcampusa is harder than holding it in continuation of 'videoblogger conference, NYC'. Or at least I'm assuming it's easier to get people who did not attend the videoblogger conference to show up in NYC for a vertigo meeting. And I see practical and economically reasons for doing those two events back-to-back. And while I would love to go camping I can also imagine the expression on my accountant's face when I try to write it off as a business expense. :o) - Andreas Den 23.02.2007 kl. 19:23 skrev schlomo rabinowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED]: So part of what I'm hearing is Conference Fatigue and some people want to go camping instead.

I mostly want a reason to go to the US. In my own selfish world - and that's all that matters on the internet - I'd like to see less making money, more creation. And I don't care for red carpets, but I do care for group hugs and hyperbole. I would also like to see these Youtubers I keep hearing about, possibly study them in their natural habitat. I also would like to point out that it doesn't have to be named Vloggercon. PS. The video vertigo summit last year was very valuable. Tacking on such a thing again would be a Good Thing in my book. Preferably a full day instead of four-five hurried hours. Possibly in a setting where mock-ups and wireframes can be made. -- Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen URL: http://www.solitude.dk/

Den 23.02.2007 kl. 00:11 skrev Mike Hudack [EMAIL PROTECTED]: The real question is one of size: last year's Vertigo meeting was just too large and too short to get things really done. We shouldn't shrink it, but we should go longer and split people into working groups. Maybe 2-3 days at NYU ITP? +1 - I especially like the idea of working groups. A 2 day vloggercon and a 2-3 day video vertigo would make for an insane, but awesome week. Add OpenID to the agenda. It seems to grow exponentially, but I don't know if it's hype or real. :o) -- Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen URL: http://www.solitude.dk/
Re: [videoblogging] node101 wiki hacked?
Den 20.02.2007 kl. 12:23 skrev [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Just want to point out there is a way to protect certain pages on a wordpress wiki. All it does is keeps anyone from editing them unless they signup or login to the wiki. MediaWiki. Wordpress is a blogging platform, not a wiki. That said, maybe it's time to either upgrade your software or jump to a pbwiki. Jump was completed a while ago: http://node101.pbwiki.com/ The old wiki isn't used and it looks like a spammer hit it. No worries. The main page at node101.org links to the correct wiki, but it would of course be helpful if the old address forwarded to the new one. :o) -- Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen URL: http://www.solitude.dk/
Re: [videoblogging] Re: FireAnt.tv video thumbnails
Den 19.02.2007 kl. 13:00 skrev Mike Meiser [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Having some sort of wrapper around it is optional. Optional for the author, but it must be required of the parser that it understands the wrapper. Otherwise it will not be able to match thumbnails to video files (or blog posts) on pages that contains more than one video. It goes in the 'strongly encouraged, but optional' category. I'll have to read up on hAtom, I can understand how hVlog would make it easier to parse, but quite frankly I think it would so confuse the average vlogger they'd be apt to either improperly mark up their blog posts, or simply forget about it all together. I guess the question is should we even mention it at all in this thumbnail spec? Specs are for programmers, not for regular people. It should most definitely be listed as a reference. To get the average vlogger to understand what they have to do you will have to write a how-to article. -- Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen URL: http://www.solitude.dk/

Re: [videoblogging] is Creative Commons bulshit...Part 2
Den 03.02.2007 kl. 01:22 skrev Rupert [EMAIL PROTECTED]: That's true - Copyright protection for all created media is automatic as soon as there is a record in any form of the material that has been created - but you can see how an infringer could make a persuasive case to try and set precedent that material distributed freely on the web is fair game, and how they could argue for fair use of this, and most of all how they could put up such a good case for this that you'd have to have balls of steel and very deep pockets to see how far they were willing to go. No, I do not see that happening. Maybe if you were suing a soccer mom because she used one of your photos on her personal homepage, but not in other cases. But you're not out to defend yourself against people like that. Whereas a CC license that states clearly what it can and *can't* be used for shifts the playing field dramatically - suddenly they are obviously, hands down, the bad guys, for all the reasons I wittered on about before. I would say that this *does* matter if you want protection. In the sense of lawsuits CC doesn't change anything dramatically. What can and can't be done with a given work have *always* (since the Berne Convention anyway) been stated clearly. CC *changes* what can and can't be done (ie. the author gives up some of his rights), but it's not special in the sense that a viewer now knows what he can do - he always knew that (or should). CC does help you protect your content for two reasons. First because your work had more protections before you applied the license and secondly because ignorance if not a valid defense. The fact that the CC license is linked directly from your page doesn't give you any more protection legally than usually. It may mean fewer soccer moms put copies in the local town paper, but that's a different story. You should not choose a CC license if you want to protect yourself against misuse of your content. You should choose a CC license if you think the world would be a better place when people share creative works amongst each other. Finally, as Verdi pointed out. You shouldn't be suing people. You should just bill them and move on with your life. -- Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen URL: http://www.solitude.dk/
