[videoblogging] SMIL in QT10
So QuickTime has supported SMIL since version 4, but I cannot get version 10 to open a SMIL file. At one point QT10 even told me I had to install QT7 in order to open the file. Has apple dropped support for this standard? - Dave [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
Re: [videoblogging] SMIL in QT10
Hmm interesting. Thanks Michael. I guess I'll let it install QT7 ... it just felt like it was asking me to downgrade. :P http://www.DavidMeade.com On Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 2:28 PM, Michael Verdi michaelve...@gmail.comwrote: The new QT X doesn't do much beside trim clips (like on the iphone). That's why they have you install QT7 - to get all of your old qt pro (and other non-pro) features back. They've rewritten QT completely and will add the old features in the future (they'd have to in order to make FCP work as a 64bit app for example). From an Ars Technica review of Snow Leopard http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2009/08/mac-os-x-10-6.ars/6 This is just the start of a long journey for QuickTime X, and seemingly not a very auspicious one, at that. A QuickTime engine with no editing support? No plug-ins? It seems ridiculous to release it at all. But this has been Apple's way in recent years: steady, deliberate progress. Apple aims to ship no features before their time. As anxious as developers may be for a full-featured, 64-bit successor to the QuickTime 7 engine, Apple itself is sitting on top of one of the largest QuickTime-riddled (and Carbon-addled, to boot) code bases in the industry: Final Cut Studio. Thus far, It remains stuck in 32-bit. To say that Apple is highly motivated to extend the capabilities of QuickTime X would be an understatement. Nevertheless, don't expect Apple to rush forward foolishly. Duplicating the functionality of a continually developed, 18-year-old API will not happen overnight. It will take years, and it will be even longer before every important Mac OS X application is updated to use QTKit exclusively. Transitions. Gotta love 'em. - Verdi On Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 1:06 PM, David Meade meade.d...@gmail.com wrote: So QuickTime has supported SMIL since version 4, but I cannot get version 10 to open a SMIL file.

Re: [videoblogging] Macbook Pro...
I have a Macbook Pro and I love it (love it love it). It's the first mac I've ever owned, so I can't really compare it to others for you but I can tell you how mine has performed... I have the 2.4 GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo) with 2 GB of RAM (I assume you meant to say yours would have 4GB no MB) Mine preforms very well. Last night I exporting a 5minute 480x270 multi-pass H.264 mp4 at 600kb with 192kbps stereo sound ... while I didn't actually time it I can remember / guess at this much: * it initially said it was going to take 20some minutes but didn't actually take nearly that long * It probably took 7-10 minutes? (I'm a pretty bad guesser of such things but ...) * It wasn't long enough that I even bothered walking away from the computer. Sometimes when I have a more complex edit with lots of filters in FCE, the real time rendering isn't great, but hitting option-r does a very quick render of the timeline for you. I'm sure there will be projects where you'll want/need go off to do something else while it exports ... but I've still always felt that my lil' macbook pro's export times fall well within expected and reasonable time frames. I have the glossy screen, and I really like it, but the glossy/matte issue seems to be kinda like arguing religion ... I'm not sure there really is a right answer. It's probably more about which looks better to your eye. well I dunno if any of that is helpful, but I use my Macbook Pro for all my editing/exporting now and I've not had any regrets. - Dave On Fri, Apr 11, 2008 at 12:09 PM, Ron Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey everybody, I'm looking to pick up a macbook pro in the not too distant future and was hoping to get some feedback as to how the new machines are performing, and any config suggestions.

I mean, what does it say about a given niche that whatever they have to say about politics, religion, homosexuality, etc. is so contrary to the mainstream they don't feel comfortable saying it in mainstream groups? I think this is what Steve was getting at with his 'not wanting to be confronted' bit. Homosexuality is a good example ... I've seen conservatives say they can't discuss it without getting attacked ... but what they fail to realize (or perhaps accept) is that when they START the conversation with the heavily published, polarized, assertion that homosexuals are deviants going straight to hell and that we need to alter the Constitution to prevent them from marrying one another else their sinful deviant ways will ruin the country ... well some see that as drawing first blood in any 'conversation'. Person A calls it attacking, Person B calls it responding to an attack. Anyway, I digress I totally get what you're saying Terry, YouTube etc is full of folks not interested in civil discussion and debate of contentious issues ... I just don't think this divide can be blamed on the 'general' online video community. Most of the country is that way now-a-days ... so polarized they see no reason to honestly/actually *discuss* anything - it's all black and white to them now. If they were to give actual (two-way) communication a shot ... they likely just find themselves talking to someone who still isn't willing to see past labels like which party they've voted for in the past and the whole experiment will end in one person screaming Communist! and the other screaming Fascist! and both walking away convinced the other is not just wrong ... but also evil. Will these emerging niche communities be any more accepting of altering opinions than YouTube is whenever a contentious issue pops up there? It will probably will vary greatly on any given niche community site .. but I'm not gonna hold my breath. - Dave

Wordpress folks are apparently not going to fix the rel=tag issue. I'm too busy today to go into how frustrated I am about this, but this sucks.

There seems to be a desire among some wordpress folks to NOT live up to the microformats specification on how to present multi-word tags.

[videoblogging] requesting backup on wordpress issue
As you may recall I posted to the wordpress trac requesting they fix their rel-tag links so that they are compliant with the rel=tag specification when linking to mutli-word-tags. Wordpress currently does this wrong, and causes posts to get indexed incorrectly. If you tag a post as christmas video it will not appear in searches for christmas video in technorati (for example). Blogger posts will ... but not Wordpress posts. Wordpress posts get tagged as christmas-video ... and entirely different tag and thus excluded from the conversation browsing / discovery that happens via tags. This of course is an issue not only with technorati, but with any site/service that consumes rel=tags ... since anyone who consumes rel=tags surely expects the rel=tags to be compliant with the rel=tag specification. For some reason there are those on wordpress trac that seem opposed to this fix. I cannot imagine why. I may have to stop caring about this for a while as I tend to get to overly emotionally invested in such things ... and that's not healthy. But if there are any techie people out there who can clearly speak to the reasons wordpress should present its rel=tags according to the standard, and the problems associated with not doing so - perhaps you can add to the conversation here: http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5964 Do we still have microformats people on this list?

Re: [videoblogging] Re: we should all enter this one
To David Howell's objection: I think what David is saying is that using normal or real or some class-based term as the alternative to artsy tends to imply that artsy therefore has some odd, fake, or obscure measure of worth. (correct me if I'm wrong and putting words in your mouth, David.) However, I agree with Cheryl ... I don't see what Charles said as all that bad ... I like artsy stuff and I wasn't insulted. There is a reason the term artsy has common use (and it DOES have common use). In terms of film/video, I have believed that the term artsy is used because it's generally describing a subset of stuff out there that is often outside of mainstream consumption/expectation ... perhaps normal is a poor term to use for mainstream but cut him some slack ... he did quote it - which has the generally accepted implication of for my lack of a better word - and he has since apologized for not having a better word for it. It's the nature of the human brain to classify and categorize and label ... Charles didn't create the distinction of mainstream or artsy ... and he's hardly the first to recognize it. All that being said ... I'd love to see some vlogger win this contest no matter their style! :-) - Dave On Feb 20, 2008 2:40 PM, Cheryl [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Huh. I got what you meant.

We are having members of Anonymous from all over the world join the protest at their local church of Scientology at 11 a.m. local time. Other people claiming to be members of Anonymous told NBC11 that the actual number of Scientology protesters worldwide will not reach 300,000. The actual number of people who show up for the rallies could be much less, they said. The group members said out of the 24 time zones, there are 17 that have Churches of Scientology. Of the 24 time zones there are 17 that have a church located in them and we believe our protesting is happening in 15 of those 17, said the group member. We have a map that people can log in to and say what protest they're going to at the current moment. At last count we expect 300,000 at all the protests. Everyone in the world is invited. We're trying to get support from local organizations. Anonymous claims the Church of Scientology forces members to have abortions as well as sign over their bank accounts.

The member of Anonymous said her organization is attempting to change its approach because it first gained attention as a group of hackers and pranksters. The group said it now plans to engage in activities that fight against Scientology, but are not considered illegal by the U.S. government. The member told NBC11 that she is not an actual hacker herself, but rather someone providing other means of support to Anonymous. The member said Anonymous is planning to hold large monthly protests against Scientology at its churches each month until May. She said the group is drawing up plans for more protests after that. The group member said Anonymous would hold another large protest two days after church founder L. Ron Hubbard's birthday on March 15.

[videoblogging] Conversation Tracking (was: Plugin for Video Comments)
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. Doesn't it? I'm not sure what all the talk about charts and graphs are all about ... I personally don't imagine ever using such an interface (I could be wrong) .. but I would love a way to list (at my post's permalink) video responses to my videos that people publish on their sites. Doesn't the above describe that pretty accurately? Sounds like what we need is a) a plugin that scans trackback urls for rev=comment and picks up any rel=enclosure type=video links within the same cite block ?? -- said plugin could then easily save for this trackback comment the same video comment fields that my recent plugin does for regular comments display them appropriately. (Other bigger/better plugins could use the same stored fields to display the video comments in all sorts of fabulous ways) b) a simple way to let you post a video response on your site to a video elsewhere -- what would be cool is a bookmarklet you can click in your browser while at someones post that sends you to your blogs write post page with the framework of the above syntax already completed. Just plugin your url to your video and your thumbnail and presto. (such plugin in of urls could be done in some whiz bang web2.0 way of course) - Dave -- http://www.DavidMeade.com

Anyway, it's irrelevant if we're using trackbacks. I assume trackbacks have their own mechanism. .. snip ... but why bother scanning the trackback for rev=comment or rel cite. It's needlessly complex. Are you sure that's the case? I thought they pretty much sent title, snippet, url. cite isn't a rel its just an html tag -- but the rel/rev attributes already semantically describe relationships between pages. Anyway, it may be required to request the trackbacking response and scan it for rev/rel attributes .. or it may not (if the content provided by the initial trackback is sufficient so be it) ... The point I was trying to make is that the syntax to describe all this (as I understand it anyway) already exists. People MAY not be using rev/rel in all the places they could today .. but they certainly wont be using something we just make up / pull out of the air ... might as well stick to the 'standard' that already exists, no? Rel=cite and rev=comment are needless complexity at this point. ?? In order to accomplish what? There is a simpler way to define relationships between posts? rev/rel has been a part of html for a while now. Making something else up is easier? What we need is a plugin that scans trackback data for an embed or enclosure. (Depending on what information is sent along in the trackback. I must admit I need to read up on it.) Well again, I'm not sure that trackbacks provide enough data for that to happen. Also, there may very well be many embeds or enclosures at a url. It's only the rev=comment video we're interested in. (isn't it?) Anyway, if said enclosure or embed is found in the trackback... then this plugin would just display it in a similar manner to david meade's plugin. (this assumes there is only one such item at the url) Furthermore we need to push these video comments into the comment RSS feed... not just display them... so comment RSS feeds will need to become RSS2.0 compatible with enclosures... and increasingly other meta information should be included with mediaRSS and/or other necessary standards. This is the easy part. (the plugin I made does that now). The hard part is identifying remote posts as remote comments to a local post. I would say at this moment I feel the next steps may be. 1) getting david meade's plugin to not only display video comments so they play in place, but also so that the comment RSS feeds include these videos as enclosures with other relevant metadata such as thumbnails and such Um that's already in place. :-) It was the whole point of the plugin - to get them as enclosures into the comment rss feed. Done. I didn't add mediaRSS tags (which allow for things like thumbnails), but I easily could. I'll add that to the next version. 2) possibly building a plugin or adding to dave's plugin the ability to identify videos in trackbacks and embed them in blog post comments so they can be played in place That's where I was going with the trackback scanning idea. But it would be pointless to do so until we agree on what identifies a video comment in a trackback. (I'm still of the opinion that the existing syntax of rev/rel gives us what we need here). 3) adding this trackback meta info to the comment RSS feed as well Isn't this already in place? I'm pretty sure they're treated just like any other comment. ... but a user icon of your choosing appears visually next to your comment. Never underestimate the power of a user icon in keeping conversations personal. This is something I find is personally lacking on most open blogging platforms. This user icon could potentially be pushed out through trackback mechanism... or be a piece of information pulled from your OpenID profile. A bit off topic, but I totally agree! I'm a big fan of the gravatar idea. ( http://site.gravatar.com/ ) There's already a WP plugin for this (and in fact, on my site DavidMeade.com if you post a comment it will display the associated gravatar with your comment). I'd love to see this sort of thing getting consumed from openID as well but we're getting sidetracked. The web page itself is irrelevant... a mere place holder. *gasp* surely you have not beheld the wonder that is DavidMeade.com ;P - Dave -- http://www.DavidMeade.com
Re: [videoblogging] Updated Video Comments plug-in: version 1.2
as far as I understand it, this should work with the moderation system
and plugins like akismet. (If that's not the case let me know).
The video fields get saved to the database once the actual comment
does, so if you have some sort of pre-screen check (captcha or
something) it should work fine (unless it somehow eats the video
response fields - let me know if you find an anti-spam plugin where
that's the case).
Once the comment is saved (and the video comment fields just
afterward) - it should be able to sit happily in a moderation queue
before its released to the site. Once it's on the site the video will
show up. (If a comment is deleted, the latest version of the plug-in
is set to remove video comment fields for that comment from the
database)

[videoblogging] Mac Issues hampering Semanal
So I tried to install Windows XP (sp2) via boot camp on my MacBookPro ... and now my Mac wont boot up ... to anything. I followed all the boot camp instructions and completed the first portion of the windows install (blue screen with text where you tell it what partition to install on). At this point it should have rebooted into the more gui-based portion of the windows install. However all I get now is a boot disk failure. I can boot from the Windows CD and go to the Restore console (and I see that the windows files have been copied over to the correct partition), but I can't seem to get it to launch the final phase of the OS install (or just don't know how to make it do it perhaps). I, unfortunately, cannot figure out how to get it to boot off of the Mac partition either (I've tried holding down the option key at boot up, but it goes straight to the hit any key to boot off of CD ... and I either boot to CD (and get the windows installer again - which fails on subsequent attempts as well), or I don't and I get a boot disk failure). I have yet to figure out how to eject the windows CD - as the eject button on the keyboard apparently doesn't do anything at this point in the boot up process (and there is no eject button on the drive itself). This is causing a serious hampering of my semanal participation as I edit all my videos on the Mac (and I was unwilling to give up on the mac last week and be forced to try to edit on the PC again :-P) But beyond Semanal ... I would like my macbook pro to be something other than a very expensive door stop Does anyone have any suggestions on what my next steps should be to get it back up and running?

If charging the people who are in the top percent makes them clean off whatever virus or bot they have on their machine or reasonably limit the amount of file sharing they do then the network is less congested and the experience improves for everyone. When there are network load problems it's almost never the aggregate of normal use; it's a handful of users using extreme amounts of bandwidth. So, in theory, I don't have a problem with it, but that doesn't mean it will be implemented fairly or with the user's best interest in mind.

Dudley said he did not know what the pricing tiers would be nor the download limits. He said the heavy users were likely using the network to download large amounts of video, most likely in high definition. It was not clear when exactly the trial would begin, but Dudley said it would likely be around the second quarter. The tiered pricing would only affect new customers in Beaumont, not existing ones.

Re: [videoblogging] It begins...
I think I'm ok with this so long as where I'm downloading the video *from* does NOT matter in anyway. For example, if I download video from blip.tv, it should cost the same amount per bit as video from CNN.com. Now, granted I don't WANT to have to pay more for video downloads ... but as long as all creators/hosters of the content cost the consumer the same thing ... I think it's justifiable to price on consumption. (Of course the consumers aren't going to go for it unless its very reasonable, or every other ISP out there bands together in price fixing) A slippery slope though, perhaps, in regard to net neutrality - should be watched. - Dave On Jan 17, 2008 9:24 AM, Heath [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So it begins... http://tinyurl.com/393qmk NEW YORK - Time Warner Cable will experiment with a new pricing structure for high-speed Internet access later this year, charging customers based on how much data they download, a company spokesman said Wednesday.

YOU said (and I quote) If you want to have your videos removed simply delete them from your website. YOU continued on to expound about the link-oriented nature of the web and reaffirmed again in a second email that if we didn't want to be listed we should delete our hosted video. No one has ever e-mailed me or Brittany with a request to remove a link from the site. I never said they did. However there seems to be some concern here in this thread and YOU HAVE STATED that if they don't like they are free to delete their video. My concern is hardly speculative, and I'm certainly not making anything up. Please don't start putting word in my mouth. 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. That's hardly the point, Andreas - and I suspect you know that. If it took 45 years for my video to show up on a site whose premise I disagreed with, I as the creator of the creative work should be able to request it not be displayed as participant. There is a clear link to the blogpost where the video came from right below it (same way iTunes handles videos). Except iTunes doesn't publish a manifesto stating my beliefs / inspirations as they relate to my creative works. 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. I'm sure you have gotten good feedback as well. But what about those 3-4 people expressing concerns here? Are you going to honor their request to not be included, or are you sticking to your you're free to delete your video stance? The only thing I was outraged about was your insistent need to default to an insulting and combative tone with people who were just trying to be part of the community.

Yeah I really couldn't believe that when I read it. I don't think we would have accepted such a solution from anyone outside the community - why should we be expected to here? This is more than a simple link. It's our video being actually played (without the context of our post with it) on another site.

Besides the fact that it's just simple courtesy to honor the wishes of members of this community who are asking that their creative works not be displayed in the context of the manifesto (rather than forcing their participation in something they don't feel their creative works are in line with) Its just wrong - we never would have accepted that 'solution' from anyone else.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: SEMANAL
Actually the more I think about this ... the more I really think we as a community are cheating ourselves and folks like MeFeedia. It's not like this is an event that lasts for 2 days and/or is a last minute thing. We have a freakin year. ** Imagine what could be done with that year. ** Mefeedia is more than capable of tracking and displaying these videos for us. They can let us comment there in one place (if we want that) or back at the vloggers site as we please. Further they are eager to build out a social network and the features *we want* ... with a lil mini-community forming around this year long and somewhat casual experiment ... we could help them immensely with that - and thus help ourselves. Why don't we use MeFeedia for this (and all the while offer to them our feedback/wish lists/suggestions for improvements/etc)? They have always proven to be eager to provide what the community wants, and this seems to be right up their ally. With a channel at mefeedia its already all gathered up in one place automatically, we can comment on the items there, get listings of user activity for related videos, get recent video widgets for the channel ... all sorts of stuff. (See NaVloPoMo for an example: http://www.mefeedia.com/channels/navlopomo/ ) And if there some lil whiz-bang thing that MeFeedia cant provide right now ... well we have a year ahead of us - lets use this chance to tell them all of the things like oh this would be so much cooler if you'd add this feature ... I mean we can't complain about feeling like we always have to look for ways to reinvent the wheel if we don't give those who are trying to provide the tools we want a chance to actually do so. As so many have pointed out in this thread - this isn't anything radically different than normal vlogging. Our Feeds and Aggregators can carry the weight, and we shouldn't need any REVOLUTIONARY functionality to make this work here at day 1. MeFeedia can already provide the gathering place right now today ... and we - in return - can use our experience with them to tell them how to do it even better in the near future. Lets all go get a mefeedia account (if you for some reason don't have one), make sure our feed is in the system (if for some reason it isn't already). I volunteer to create the channel at mefeedia.

Re: [videoblogging] video gallery wordpress plugin?
I created a plugin for my wordpress blog that does this: http://www.davidmeade.com/episode-archive It does not require any special code in the blog post, but it does require that you enclose your videos at your wordpress blog (rather than rely on Feedburner to add them for example). It creates/uses a thumbnail from the image you used in your post. It also has an improved/simplified way in the post editor to point-click/choose the files to enclose and use as thumbnails. It also then uses all this information to add MediaRSS elements to the feed (including alternate formats, defaults, dimensions, etc). It's configurable to either play the file when someone clicks the thumbnail, or navigate on to the permalink - whichever you prefer. It can also be set to show only video, or audio, or image ... or any combination of the above -- and it can either group the thumbnails by type or not. It also allows you to define dimensions ... but I haven't completed most of the features that would use that information. All in all its worked very well for me even though it feels much more like custom code than a plugin as its not exactly ready for prime time. There are several other features that I've started to work but not finished, there is NO admin interface for the features that are working, there's at least one bug that I know of and haven't bothered to fix yet ... and probably a few others. So I haven't released it as an official plugin or anything. If anyone is desperate for such a thing (and isn't afraid of a lil php to troubleshoot and get it working) I can send you the files. once you get it going its pretty much a set-it and forget-it kinda thing ... but it really should get some polish and an admin interface to really be 'released' sort of plugin. - Dave -- http://www.DavidMeade.com

Re: [videoblogging] trying to figure out the best place to set up a blog for folks in Pine Ridge
Hi Milt - One thing to remember is that Blip.tv (and other hosting services) can cross post to all sorts of blogs. So, for example, even if there isn't a built 'include blip video' feature at blogger or wordpress.com ... blip.tv can cross post to those systems for you when you upload a video there. Other services like Flickr can cross-post for you as well. I think my advice would be to pick the blogging solution that works best for the project/users, and use a separate service (such as blip) to host video/audio/images etc - allowing these hosting services to cross post to your blogging solution of choice. In this case your bloggers would have a few accounts one for their blog site, and at least one for their media hosting service(s). As an example: I post to my wordpress blog most times. However I can upload a video to blip and it will automatically create a post ob my wordpress blog for me. If I post a picture to flickr, I can have it post to my blog site too.

These young people are really ready to do a blog and want to post stuff from their little cameras, and whatever. What would be a good place to post some video, and writings, and just plain old pictures? I initially set up a wordpress.com blog, but it has some pretty severe restrictions on where the video can come from. I didn't see a way to post video directly, but I have been know not to see everything that's happening at any particular site. Then I thought of Blip.tv, which I love for the quality, but it doesn't seem to have places to just post stories or writing. Blogger might be good. I'm even looking at tumblr.com which is pretty cool, but they only allow video uploads of 50 mb or less.

Yeah I'm NOT a fan of ning either. It really kinda frustrates me to have another step (manually cross posting to ning) especially this month. To me this is exactly what we're not supposed to have to do thanks to our RSS Feeds. For this reason I've been using MeFeedia, which aggregates all videos tagged 'navlopomo07', (or any other tag for that matter) ... and I can then subscribe to this aggfregation using MeFeedias provided RSS feed. I use Miro player to download and watch all these videos. The combination of MeFeedia and Miro (or aggregator of choice) is awesome. And for those of you who prefer to watch via the web, as Frank points out, you can get a web list of them all already at MeFeedia ... even if they arent manually re-listed over at ning. NaVloPoMo was a last minute thing and we just kinda latched on to the existing NaBloPoMo site cause it was there I guess ... but I'm using MeFeedia. :-) - Dave On Nov 13, 2007 10:37 AM, Frank Sinton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Susan, I know a few people using our video tag aggregation service (some are also using Miro to just download the videos they want from this tag by putting the tag RSS in Miro): http://mefeedia.com/tags/NaVloPoMo07/ We've also created this page where you can subscribe, track comments and other activities: http://www.mefeedia.com/feeds/26445/ We're working on better ways to track the conversations too and would love your feedback.

Well it depends somewhat on your setup ... but if you use wordpress and feedburner, I think the following will help you: If you're using feedburner (i.e. the feedburner url is the one which itunes uses to populate it's podcast directory) then you can setup the picture and other itunes options in your feed settings at feedburner.com. Click the Optimize tab and then SmartCast. (Your picture should be jpg or pnx and 300x300 pixels.) Also, if your blog is a wordpress blog, make sure your feed has full text set as I believe its the body of the post that will show up as show notes. In the wordpress admin go to the options section and then the reading sub-section. There will be a section of that page called Syndication Feeds. Make sure this setting is set to Full Text.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: pocketPC video editor?
Yeah. Although, Windows Mobile devices seem to be pretty popular in the states anyway. I just upgraded my phone to a new Windows Mobile 6 (wm6) device, and the OS is quite nice (a significant improvement over wm5 which wasn't too bad itself). Windows has an advantage in the cell phone market similar to the advantage they have in the PC market their OS can be licensed and installed on hardware that others make. So you'll have HTC devices running windows mobile (which are really nice little devices), you'll have palm devices running windows ...etc etc etc There's also no shortage of developers out there making windows mobile apps. My windows phone can store music and video, and stream tv shows, and get my email, and twitter, and websites, and google maps w/ GPS, and Instant Messengers and on and on and on and on ... and its pretty nice interface even if not multi-touch ... so Windows isn't out of the game at all. ( That being said ... if the iPhone did video and was 3g I'd have gone with the iPhone no questions asked. :-) ) With a mobile version of .NET and DirectX available ... I'm sure the windows mobile platform COULD do simple trim/combine edits on video ...

And if there is a future iphone that records video, or some other mobile mac device that makes use of multitouch screen, we could be in for a treat. On the camcorder front I suppose its feasible that the cameras of the future will be wifi enabled. In the meantime, I think nokia mobile video editing stuff possibly has the largest potential audience right now, in terms of number of people who buy nokia phones, but this may not be so true in the USA, and the lack of touchscreen or large enough screen is a hindrance. I dunno, I guess its one of those things that would be incredibly useful if done right, but only a very small %age of people who buy suitable devices will actually use this feature. I havent ended up using the basic video editing on the nokia N95 much yet, its just a tad too painful, but I guess I would use it if I were travelling the world or taking speedvlogging to an extreme.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: pocketPC video editor?
Update: ok my AVIs and MP4s from my phone are not the same thing thing at all. It turns out that the AVIs are using Motion-JPEG codec and their filesizes are MUCH larger (for same frame size/duration recordings) than the MP4 option. I cannot change the extension of the mp4s on the phone with built in tools because Windows Mobile doesn't show you file extensions ... However I found a great free program called Total Commander which will allow me to do so. So, I guess I can take MP4 video, then change the file extension to 3gp using Total commander ... then upload to blip.

Re: [videoblogging] NaVloPoMo - National Videoblog Posting Month, anyone?
Interesting idea. Sounds insane, but then so does NaNoWriMo and people do that.

This year she is already over 1500 participants and counting, all because she tapped into the power of [Ning} to grow her movement. You can see the NaBloPoMo Ning group here: http://nablopomo.ning.com/ I know we have videoblogging week, and that's hard enough. But how about a month where we strip away worries about production values and editing and just post simple short videos, one per day - starting November 1st? Use your phone, your webcam, your iSight - make lumieres, moving snapshots? Or whatever you want. As long as you post some moving images, every day. Just a thought.

well you left out the last part of the sentence :-P It says for financial gain or livelihood, is engaged in journalism ... if you're livelihood is gained from a day job, and you aren't getting paid to cover a story ...you' aren't engaged in journalism for financial gain or livelihood and it sounds like this shield wouldn't protect you in this case. I mean I can hear it so clearly: Your honor, Mr. Fox earns his livelihood as a dog walker, and receives no financial gain from his blog ... clearly he is not protected by blah blah or The law clearly states that protected journalism is that which provides financial gain and livelihood to the journalist ... Mr Fox get no such compensation and therefore is not a journalist as far as this law is concerned blah blah blah IANAL ... but I wouldn't count on this wording protecting a blogger from the DOJ if they've got some other day job and nobody is paying them to over a given story. ... but it's a very interesting turn of event in anycase.
