[videoblogging] Need advice on how to offer a video for sale as a download.
Hi, I have a 2 hr DVD that I would also like to sell as a direct download and I would like to know what is required from my websites standpoint. Do I need extra bandwidth to support it, do I need to break the movie into short parts for download, what special software is required for me to offer a movie download and so on. I am a real newbie, so what are the basic steps I need to cover from the time a potential customer lands on my website in order to get the order processed and let the customer make the download? The purpose of offering the video download is to expand the market for the product to international, since shipping the DVD internationally is a bit of a problem in terms of shipping costs, etc. Thanks, Ed.

[videoblogging] Need recco for tool to collect info on website visitors.
Hi, I use godaddy to host my website, and they do not give me detailed information on who visited my site on what day. They only furnish a list of ISPs but not broken out by what day the hit occurred. They charge an extra $3 per month if you want that kind of information. Is there a tool I can build into my website that will collect information on who visits, when, etc, that does not involve godaddy? Thanks for your help. Ed Smith
[videoblogging] slightly off topic, what did you use to build website?
Can anyone recommend a free or low cost program to build a website. Adobe Dreamwever is $399 which is more than I want to spend on a one shot use. OK, thanks for your help, Ed Smith.

Re: [videoblogging] video blogging / facebook / myspace / you tube
Hi Daryl, Good observation about the youtube crowd in general, and let me share how I view posting on youtube and what it does for me. I am a motivational speaker best known for Free daily emails of the One Minute Motivator. Recently I began posting video versions of them on youtube. http://youtube.com/profile?user=motivationalexpert with the objective of drawing people to my website and ultimately selling books. I view the youtube vids as being a billboard on the side of a highway, some people will turn off the highway and visit my site. My vids contain my website and book info plus an offer for more free info, so for that segment of the population that is into success/motivation, it does get them to come to the site, and yes, I even sell books due to it. And yes, I get my share of really nasty comments, but for me, only wins count and the youtube vids are a win. OK good luck. Edward W.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: what program do you use for subscirbe to updates on Word Press?
Hi Bill, just subscribed to feedburner, so thanks for that. I can't use all their services because I have to enter some code and stuff, and I don't have a clue how to do it, but I love the idea of getting a traffic count, so thanks for that. OK, thanks again, Ed. On 9/7/07, Bill Streeter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: OK Yeah thats what the RSS Feed is for. For instance, if I wanted to read your blog on a regular basis I would just subscribe to your RSS Feed in Google reader. I check my reader several times a day for new posts in blogs and news I like and I read them there--all in one place. That way I don't have to jump from site to site to read the blogs I follow, or to check which ones have been updated. There are lots of other tools for this too. Even some browsers have RSS readers built into them. Most of the videobloggers here depend on RSS to deliver their content to RSS readers or things like iTunes or Miro or Fireant. MeFeedia is an online RSS media agregator. If you manage your feed with Feedburner you can track how many subscribers you have and see if someone is republishing your content via an RSS feed. There is also a service there that will let people subscribe to a feed via email. I personally don't like to get updates via email as my mailbox is too cluttered to begin with so RSS is a better solution for me. But I can understand that some people like getting email updates so that option is there for them too.

Hi Jonny, thanks for that comment, I couldn't agree with you more, and really wish more of the hosts out there would really be into their guests. I just put a post on my blog http://www.conductknockoutbroadcastinterviews.com/blog/ that touches on this issue.

Use your prepared questions as a guideline, or a way to start a conversation but DO NOT be a slave to them. That's the quickest way to a boring interview that sounds stiff and stupid. (out of 600 interviews I've done I've only gone into two with prepared questions for just that reason). PR people, by the way, will ask for your questions in advance. I always answer that I don't prepare questions in advance, but will give them some examples of things I'd like to talk about. Again, talk about themes, not specifics. I'd like to talk with Steve Jobs about the development of the iPhone and the design process that led to that. Hope these help you with your questions.

[videoblogging] what program do you use for subscirbe to updates on Word Press?
Hi, I have Word Press 2.2 and would like to add a subscribe to updates on my blog. Can you recommend a Word Press compatible program for this? Thanks, Ed Smith
Re: [videoblogging] Re: If you conduct interviews, I would like your opinion
Hi Gena, thanks for that great reply. First let me say that if the moderator or participants in the group feel this discussion is going off topic, just let me know and I will take it off list. Gena, the sources you listed for info on interviewing were totally new to me and represent the very reason I am doing this. I know I don't know everything, I just don't know what I don't know. You asked why I am asking videobloggers about this when I am a broadcaster? Well Gena, in researching what is out there book wise on the subject I discovered what little it out there, does not cover emerging things like podcasts, videoblogging, even material being transmitted to ipods and cellphones. Interviews are showing up in all of this media and brings special demands never covered before. I want to cover it, so the book is not out of date the day it is printed. I am a motivational speaker and Verizon is putting my One Minute Motivator out as a cellphone movie message and that brought up challenges for me I never encountered before in terms of how to present it on camera. That made me realize there are many new areas, each with it's own challenges. So I want vbloggers input to make sure other vbloggers can learn from them and perhaps find techniques useful in other areas as well. I do not plan to put video on my blog for several reasons. First is that I am not a techie and just getting the blog to the point it is, almost killed me. The idea of learning to post video seems beyond me at this point. Secondly the video would only be useful to the blog and not the book, so unless I can figure out how to use it, say for instance in a separate program on DVD, I wouldn't get any payback. See Gena, perhaps I am limiting myself, but I don't see a large audience for this material, it is a small niche at best in my opinion. Thanks for pointing out that my blog content just consisted of a list of questions. I am really new to this and now I realize that just posting a questionnaire on line, will not cause people to flock to the site and respond. I went back and fleshed out the questions and made some progress in that regard, and will work on it some more.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: If you conduct interviews, I would like your opinion
Hi Bordercollieaustralianshepherd, thanks for taking all the time and effort you did to answer my request for advice, you sure came through. I think all of your tips are right on and useful. Although I plan to avoid covering how to interview kids, you tip about getting the camera rolling early is useful for all guests. I find have nervous guests is one of the biggest problems I have to deal with. I once had a guest who was a member of an elite military group, actually leap out of his chair and run out of the room when the stage lights were turned on. Many of my guests are authors and I have found that allowing them to hold their book during the interview seems to work like a pacifier when they get crazy on me. I also like the fact that you brought up the physical production side of the interview process. Some people take that for granted and wind up not even being able to do an interview because they took for granted that things like that would be covered. I plan to put a section in the book explaining the importance of covering those kinds of details and making sure you have the right guest, in the right place at the right time. Details can kill you. I think you said you had a follow up question but I am not sure I saw it, if I missed it, please let me know. OK, thanks for your great input and feel free to come back to me with any other questions or comments. Ed W.

[videoblogging] If you conduct interviews, I would like your opinion
Hi, if you conduct interviews as part of your videoblog, you probably have some thoughts about do's and don'ts of conducting an interview.

Re: [videoblogging] Youtube Group to complement this one
Count me in, [EMAIL PROTECTED], I have 11 short vids on youtube and they do a great job of giving me exposure and even selling a book now and then. I only have about 1,600 views, which doesn't put me in the class of vids of 17 yr old girls, or pet tricks, but it is not bad. OK, thanks, Ed. On 7/31/07, Rupert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So I finally figured out how to search for Youtube Groups. I found a couple of dozen groups associated with videoblogging - but none of them had more than a few members, and there were no fresh discussions or activity. Is anybody else here interested in joining a group on Youtube? As per the Facebook group discussion last week, I'd want a group to complement the Yahoo group rather than duplicate it. It'd be a way to share videos and connect with people on Youtube, explore the communities and conversations there, even to inspire us to feel it's worthwhile posting on Youtube, and to find more viewers. If nobody says yes, I won't bother, because the last thing I want to do is create another unpopulated dead Group. But it could be a great way to build a bridge from this group into Youtube, since it's often been remarked that there's so much separation between us. My 'month of Youtube' has been a little slowed down by hectic work home life, but I'm still as committed to exploring it more. As I just wrote in an email to someone else, I do think it's a bit mad that so many of us are not on Youtube more, given the much larger number of people passing through there than through any other site. Youtube has 50%+ share of all online video, but amazingly the mefeedia figures show it has less videoblogs than other sites. I understand that a few people will not want to deal with youtube's TOS, their interface or their picture quality, but for a lot of us who want to connect with other people and evangelize this stuff a little, it surely makes more sense to spend some time hanging out on the main drag as well as behind the bike shed.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: A question about viewership habits....
Hi I may be able to give you some additional feedback after tomorrow. Veoh.com is featuring my One Minute Motivator series of vids on their site tomorrow. These are short success/motivation vids of less that 2 min and in the vids is a listing of my website to go for more info. Now less than 10% of the general population is into success/motivation, so I expect that only a small percent of the people seeing one of the vids will view the other 7 One Minute Motivators currently listed there, but we will see. Also it is my guess that the bulk of the people visiting video websites are young men, and they tend not to be into success/motivation. So while I am thrilled veoh.com is featuring the One Minute Motivator, I can't help wondering why they picked it given what I think is their viewership. Anyway, once I get some sense of the numbers of views, and then website visits and sign ups for my free email version of the One Minute Motivator, I will come back to the group and share my numbers.

Anyway, thanks for all the help and suggestions!! from dvinfo.net: I've discovered what the problem is with the external mike input on my HD1. Both the adaptor lead supplied with the camera, and the plastic 2.5/3.5 adaptor I've tried can be pushed too far into the jack socket! If they are plugged fully in, then you get lots of electrical noise: if you pull the jack out about 1/16th inch, where there's a natural, but small detent position, then all the mikes work fine. So it's simply a mechanical design problem with the jack socket used on HD1, certainly on the camera I have and from what others have said, on at least some others as well.

[videoblogging] Vlogger Con Jan 2005 - Today's Blizzard Reminds Me...
Today's blizzard in New York City reminds me of January 22, 2005 when a few hardy souls braved the blizzard of that day to be at the first face-to-face meeting of this video blogging group. When I think about it, there were some phenomenally creative, entrepreneurial and technically astute people filling the room that day. Raymond and Deirdre (and her daughter) got the long-distance travel awards coming from Norway and Italy, respectively. Of course, the PR stars of the decade - Andrew and Amanda - were there. I'll always remember Andrew's presentation where he made the commitment to have something produced every day, five days a week. I'll also remember the concerns he expressed about making a business out of his efforts. There was philosopher king, Jay, whose sense of wonder about the power of this new medium seemed to energize the whole network that was being formed. ryanne added her special artistic viewpoint. Peter, quietly and unabtrusively, added his superior technical skills. Steve Garfield added his tremendous energy, and proved that no man should be limited to a single blog. There was Michael, and his daughter, at that time the world's youngest blogger and star of ABC news. Does that record still stand, Michael?Also there was Mica, Josh, Jakob -- the party host -- Eli, Sean, Kenyatta and the indomitable Marc Canter. I also recall Scott from Feedster, Leslie from Chicago, and David Hall from Yahoo, and Chuck with his phenomenal sense of humor, and Chris W. whose human dog also knew how to laugh at himself. I'm doing most of this from memory, and a few notes in my journal. Who else did I miss?My thanks to all of you who were there for creating a tremendous event, and a wonderful memory. Even the weather made it extra special. I learned an awful lot from the people who were there, and all the others on this e-mail list, over the last year plus. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience so generously. I've put what you have taught me to work in a few small efforts of my own. One is a community exploration of art and nanotechnology, and the other is a new business relationship with TEC, the world's largest CEO organization with over 12,000 members in 15 countries. We need to get more CEOs in organizations like this so they can learn about the triple bottom line -- people, profit, and planet.

[videoblogging] Video Camera for the Undercover Civic Journalist

[videoblogging] collaborative video project - IODOTO
I've posted a page and started a blog for the in one door and out the other collaborative idea discussed earlier in this group. If you're interested in contributing to the project, please take a look at the page I've set up: http://www.sito.org/synergy/iodoto/ The blog is available at: http://iodoto.blogspot.com The basic idea is to create a series of videos which interlock on scenes of people entering and exiting through doors. There are two ways to participate. First, and simplest, is to create a video (90 seconds or less) starting with someone opening and walking in through a doorway and ending with someone opening a door and walking out. This is called a Segment. Second, you can edit together the Segments into a string of scenes, cutting them together on the doors. These are called Constructs. I've posted the basic rules and some suggestions on the site. Hope some of you will come play!

Maybe this is noteworthy... I discovered videoblogs by accident while looking for software to convert videos to PSP-format back in April. Now I'm a fairly regular videoblogger and still mostly use my PSP just to play video and listen to MP3's. The games are still not all that great (Hot Shots and Lumines being the best I've played). I actually play more games on my Nintendo DS (two screens, one a touch screen) than the PSP. That might change if PSP were to start supporting Flash.

[videoblogging] Re: collaborative video projects - ¿adonde?
I'm interested in participating in one myself. Perhaps we should just start our own? I have a lot of ideas. Don't we all? I think it's important to make contributing an easy and very modular process. That is to say there should be no waiting around for other people to finish their piece of the pie. I liked e band, but it was really edit-intensive. Maybe we could do something with interlocking scenes bookended by specific transitional actions like passing through a doorway with a hinged door or going up some stairs. So, at the beginning of a submitted segment, a person would be opening and coming through a door into a room. At the end of the segment, they'd leave through a door (could be the same door, or another door). Several segments made with those parameters could easily be cut to flow together, albeit in a surreal fashion. We'd keep a loose database of source videos, all of which could be mixed and matched in whatever manner seems appropriate. To participate, you'd have to submit at least one segment/piece. To keep things simple/short, we could impose a 90-second time limit on each submission. The cool thing about something modular like this is that I could pretty easily code a random movie generator in Flash. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Jen Simmons [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A question for the vlogosphere: What are a few of the favorite collaborative vlog projects - and WHERE are they?

I had no trouble getting my channel/feed listed on DTV. The thing's in beta, so I can excuse the deficiencies for now.

Great to hear that ANT's not abandoned for Mac. The interface, as it is, doesn't fit on my desktop. The bottom drawer constantly goes off the bottom of my screen. I should go check out the site for update-plans, but I'll run my mouth (fingers) off a bit more and request a DTV/iTunes type way to sort videos into their respective channels. Currently ANT for Mac just lists them in the order they were downloaded. So much great stuff going on in the world of aggregators. In the end, I'll probably end up using the one that provides the most fluid and stable interface to the following: * subscribing * keeps feeds discrete (so I can view all of Jan's videos in one go, for instance) * variable viewing sizes (including full-screen) * various video formats * commenting/permalinking * tagging (Vimeo/Del.icio.us/Flickr-style) Thanks for all your hard work, guys and gals of the aggregator and directory teams, you are facilitating a lot of great work and community.
