 Hey guys,

 I'm working here with my team mates on our little stanford peace project,
 and we're wondering what the best site web-based remixer is - if any ever
 got beyond the kind of fairly-usable versions that existed a year or two
 ago.

 For instance, jumpcut is OK - but seems to still be kind of slow.

 I'm asking because we're trying to determine what the best site is for
 hosting all of the little peace clips -- to have them in one place. These
 can be edited together - by us and others. So we need them all in one
 place.

 A web based remixer would be a nice touch - if one is out there that
 really works.

 thanks in advance!

 time is of the essence! :-)

[videoblogging] My jumpcut evaluation - in a word - skip it

Hey gang,

I just couldn't resist saving anyone a bunch of time and frustration by
letting you know that you can totally skip jumpcut, for now.

sidenote: wow it's nice to be back to just being an independent blogger
now and not feeling the pressure, as i did for several years, of worrying
about the business repercussions for my start up if I spoke my mind. I
gotta tell ya, i'm so glad those days are over. sheesh.

best,

lisa


Okay Jumpcut is OUT for my project. It's choking big time.

The scary thing about this as that an unexperienced user might actually
waste a good hour of their time on this, and then get pissed off when it
never works, and then blame our project for sending them to a lousy service.

Here's why I'm branding it unusable:

1. It couldn't even upload the 6, 15 second clips I prepared.

2. It wasted a lot of my time before it failed (which is a no no for any
project where you have had to recruit people to participate in the first
place)

3. It uploaded 4 out of 6 first. Then tried to tell me the other two clips
were bad (no assets)  -- which they were not, i double checked

4. Then it pretended to be uploading them while it gave me a bunch of
stupid messages to keep me there waiting (which implies that they KNOW
their system sucks and, instead of dealing with the issue, they try to
come up with clever ways to make you wait)

They start off condescending looks like a great video - can't wait to see
it then get desperate and downright mocking: so anyway, while we wait,
how you doin? (while it's been over 10 minutes)

of course, in the end, the files were never uploaded)

Conclusion:

So whew! that was close! This app could have killed my whole project, had
i not tested it for even the most simplest of functionality.

I can't believe Yahoo bought this as is. Let's hope they take it
seriously, fix it, integrate it with flickr, merge THAT with delicious,
and get on with it already! damn.

It's like I've been out of this scene for two years, and nothing's changed
or gotten any better except Blip! damn!

best,

lisa

Re: [videoblogging] My jumpcut evaluation - in a word - skip it


 Hey Lisa,

 I'm a little confused.

 Are you saying that you use to work for Jumpcut and now that you don't
 you can talk bad about their service?

 Tim


oh god no.

I was a founder of Dabble (one of seven total!) a metadata search company
that indexed the other 400+ websites. So we partnered w/all of them, and
I was in charge of partnerships even!

So when something sucked i couldn't just say so and warn people about it,
as I was so used to doing for many years before.

Sorry to be unclear! :-)

best,

lisa

Re: [videoblogging] My jumpcut evaluation - in a word - skip it

and also, to be clear. Jumpcut was always a little buggy, but it never
just didn't work -- while trying to be so cute about it in a way that
really got under my skin -- like what I experienced this afternoon - May
7, 2008.

This is not an accumulated experience.

I did not duplicate it three times or anything, as would have been proper
for any kind of thorough technical evaluation.

But I was not trying to do a thorough technical evaluation. I was just
doing a little user eval, as a genuine user, for my peace project.

Sorry i should have included the above clarifications in my original email.

[videoblogging] My Stanford Peace Class Videoblogging Project

2008-05-03 Thread Lisa Rein

Hi gang,

I'm currently taking a class at Stanford on using web technologies for Peace.

(Clarification: No I'm not an undergrad at stanford :) The instructor, BJ
Fogg, is letting me be a guest student in the class - taking it as if I
was getting a grade, and working directly with other real students in
the class. I'm really loving it and am learning so much. It's awesome!)

So without telling you too much about the project - partially because I
don't know much yet, and partially because I don't know how much about the
project I'm actually supposed to explain to you, and in how much detail,
when that time actually comes, I can say that...

The project will involve:

1) videoblogging
2) peace
3) perhaps shooting a little 30 second - 1 minute video

I'm not asking you to commit to participating at this time, but if you
think there's a chance you *may* even be interested, please send me an
email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] to let me know, if ya could.

I'm trying to locate as many interested people as I can ahead of time, so
when the project is finally ready to go, probably at the end of this week,
I can contact them quickly and hopefully expedite the process.

Thanks!

peace,

lisa

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Flash video not suitable for iPhone, Apple CEO says

Flash video looks great on my Archos 605. Drop it in and it plays.
Lisa

On Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 8:27 PM, Steve Watkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

   Technical and business reasons both seem plausible.

 One technical reason would be that iphone UI is smooth because it uses
 hardware acceleration. Not trivial to allow flash to take advantage of
 that, or multitouch etc. And looking at how much cpu flash uses on the
 desktop, and previous experiences with flash on other mobile devices,
 its easy to imagine very poor framerates and quick battery loss.

 So Apple wont want things to run badly on its flagship mobile device,
 so they will stay away from flash unless the performance lives upto
 what people expect = not easy. Im convinced theyd rather not have
 flash than have flash at crappy framerates.

 Business side, I dont know what their relationship with Adobe is like,
 seems these days that they are not special friends, and also probably
 the kind of control-freakery Apple want to exert over what apps can
 run on non-hacked iphones  ipod touch's, also plays a part.

 If the overriding urge for flash is because of video, then the gradual
 move over of a lot of flash video to flash h264 video will ease the
 problem, it isnt that hard to make a player that will use flash to
 encapsulate a mp4 in the browser on desktops, and embed the same mp4
 directly for iphone browser playback, automatically.

 The iphone SDK announcement was interesting today but anybody who
 probes deeper isnt allowed to talk about the details, so we'll have to
 wait some months to see what apps come out, and how restrictive Apple
 are about sorts of apps (as they are acting as gatekeepers over what
 can be installed).

Re: [videoblogging] Fair use in the Digital Age

2008-01-17 Thread Lisa Rein

Hey Jay :-)


so fair use = part or all of a work for the purposes of: criticism,
comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship or research.

with words on the internet, it's fairly cut and dry.

bloggers are usually criticising, commenting, reporting, teaching or
reserching. it's easy :-)

with something like a remix song, it's less clear perhaps. Does the song
provide a critical commentary on a subject in a way that requires a sample
of the subject in order to make the commentary? etc...

But here's the actual text for fair use, if you're interested:

http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#107
(text from this cut and pasted below)

and here's a little more, from my grad paper on the subject:
http://video.lisarein.com/sfsu/guide/finalpaper4-12.html#fair_use

best,

lisa


http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#107

§ 107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use40

Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a
copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or
phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes
such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple
copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an
infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work
in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall
include 

(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of
a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;

(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;

(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the
copyrighted work as a whole; and

(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the
copyrighted work.

The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair
use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.



 Two laywers (one from NBC, the other from Columbia law school) are
 discussing what fair use these days when it come to remixing.
 http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/01/16/830/

 NBC laywer says, fair use is not a right, a misconception and
 misstatement frequently made these days.
 you can imagine how the conversation goes from here.

 This is a really interesting argument in light of the issue that John
 had over at Total Vom:
 http://www.detrimentalinformation.com/2008/01/my_legal_struggle_with_christi.html

 As ive said before, its strange that it's totally accepted and
 encouraged for text bloggers to use text from other sources to build
 their own work.
 The lawyer from Columbia uses the example of the NY Times Book review
 using quotes from books without fear.
 This makes for a healthy media ecosystem.
 So why would online video be any different?

This thread has lead me to reach a conclusion that I would like to run by
y'all before I *officially* believe to be true.

Do you agree with this blanket statement?


Most videobloggers seem to have figured out by now that they're going to
have to develop their own independent business models/sponsors in order to
ever make any real money from their creations.

where real = enough money to live on


If there are stories that provide exceptions to this conclusion, I would

[videoblogging] revenue models/writer's strike reality check for my presentation

2007-11-11 Thread Lisa Rein

Hey gang,

I just landed a last minute presentation at this conference tomorrow:
http://itvcon.com/

I want to take the opportunity to inform the public about the writer's
strike -- hopefully you can help me make sure I don't leave anything out.

It's only a half hour talk with ten minutes for questions -- so it's more
a question of making sure I don't oversimplify anything to the point of
not being factually correct, and/or don't leave anything obvious out...

And I think a lot of you know, i've been more in outer space/the future
more than videoblogging these last few months, so I'd like to double check
with you guys to make sure I haven't left out anything obvious about the
present situation in videoblogging :)

Here's the talk in an uber nutshell:

the tagline (yeah i'm on a mice trip lately -- biotech is warping my
brain -- we're all just mice! mice!!!)

Videoblogging: Of Mice and Monitization

A general overview of some of the new video revenue models and how the
recent writer's strike fits in.



So for revenue models:
-show in a box
-rocketboom
-ask a ninja (not sure what current model is, but would like to include if
I can figure it out)
-revver
-youtube revenue share
-spout (four eyed monsters)
- suing YouTube/Google - which had 595 mill of it's 1.65 bill for
infringement settlements (although artists aren't entitled to any of that)
(yeah i'll double check those numbers :)

-- am i leaving any other recent players that deserve mention?

re: writer's strike
- media companies stalling for years, talking about market calming down,
-but everyone is in agreement that there is *some* revenue coming in
-from various deals, and no one can deny that the online vids promote
shows (which lead to higher ad revenues)
-- so there is some financial benefit
-- what the writer's guild is saying is give us a percentage of that,
whatever it is.

They also don't want to screw up with waiting forever to get an online
percentage like they did with VHS and DVD (of which they still only get
2.5% -- after waiting like ten years to get it).

(Looks like the (now) current head of the writers guild had to fight just
to get a percentage from HIT animated shows a few years back.)

ok thanks!!

Re: [videoblogging] CC: Noncommerical and vlogs

2007-09-13 Thread Lisa Rein

Yes gina's answer is correct, in my opinion.

This is why I've never put tip jars or ads on my site. Because, not only
do I host clips from others under various CC licenses, but I have many
fair use clips from TV/Movies that would clearly be kicked out of the
fair use category if my blog were to have any commercial uses. (per the
fair user four factors test)

Jay's suggestion of contacting the creator is also a great way to get
clearance from content creators who may not care if you have a tip jar/ads
on your site. (Get an email from them saying it's ok.)

However, doing so does complicate things, in that, at that point, you're
back to using traditional copyright w/permission from the creator, rather
than exercising the cc license. (Meaning that you can no longer display
the non-commercial license as is w/the work when you display it on your
commercial site without confusing the licensing issue, because doing so
would make it look like tip jars/ads on vlogs are still non-commercial.)

I don't have a good answer for this yet :-(


thanks,

lisa


  Can you use music that is labeled Creative Commons - Non-Commercial
  in Vlogs? Is the prospect of earning some form of revenue from ads or

Where: Ireland's 32

I'm having a big party to reconnect with old friends, meet online friends
in meatspace, and meet new friends altogether.

I'll be playing all my new songs, along with many of my songs from the
last fifteen years or so, in little sets off and on all night long,
starting around 6:45, and going till probably around midnight.

I've got a video projector and various footage I've been putting together
that will be going in-between and during the live stuff.

I'm flying in my old guitar player from Idaho, Ron Taylor. He and I co-wrote
many of the songs on the lisarein.com website:
http://www.lisarein.com

I'm also flying my sister up from LA to sing harmonies with me on a couple
songs.

It's pretty sweet of this pub to let me take over the place for the night.
It's actually been a little dream of mine to have enough stage time to be
able to go through all of my favorites from the last 15 years -- and in a
fun filled environment where I can have as many people there as I want.

Ireland's 32 also has these *really* great home made beef or chicken pot
pies, so if you need to come by early (it is a Sunday, after all), come by
around 6:30 and make a dinner show of it. (Actually, you and a friend can
probably split one easily, they're HUGE.)

They have a great pool table upstairs too! It's just an all around great
party locale!

They're letting me use the bar for the night in the hopes I can bring in a
crowd to buy drinks. So drink up. (It makes the music sound better anyway
:-)

And if I'm lucky enough that you actually have old favorites that you want
to make sure I perform, by all means, let me know! [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In between some of my sets, my good friend
Tim Perkis will be performing a little set with his daughter around 7:30.

http://www.noisypeople.com
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Perkis

You may have seen Tim's cool new movie about improvisational music, Noisy
People, around recently. Tim's also a fellow Dabble co-founder. (And a
fellow ex-Dabbler and co-founder*.)

The Breezy Days Band will also be squeezing in a little set prolly around
9:30 or so.

Thanks! And I hope to see you there.

Hi Roxanne,

Sure, I'm still down :-)

Give me a day or two to fit it into my rotation. (ooh nice long weekend
coming up too :)

Should I post my comments/suggestions here?

Or would you rather we worked on it offlist, and then posted an edited
version?

(The plus there is that the whole list doesn't have to bothered with
editing/typos/etc. -- and we can save their attention for *real* policy
decisions, etc. that might need to be made as a group :)

But sometimes, in the interest of transparency, people like to see all the
edits in a list. So I'm cool either way.

ok thanks!

 Hi Lisa,

 I am finally pulling things together...and have added in comments to
 the original doc from here and the talk I gave at Pixelodeon to create
 a little site online. Someone is working on a seal of approval
 graphic and we've had one of our programmers build the form and
 database for people to sign on to the best practices.

 Are you still willing to take a look at the document itself?  It is a
 little long, so we've used some Ajax to help focus on the different
 sections. But I think I've gotten too close to it and having your eyes
 on it would be helpful.

 http://www.itvguild.com/aggregation-best-practices.php
 http://www.itvguild.com/petition.php
 http://www.itvguild.com/signers.php

 The form is live so you can submit your data; we can clean it up
 before the site goes live so don't worry about testing it.

 http://www.itvguild.com/signers.php

 The site needs navigation and a home page message plus the seal so not
 to worry about that stuff.

 Thanks Lisa!

  RE: http://www.barefeetstudios.com/aggregation/

  Hey this doc looks like a great start -- but could use re-org and a few
  explanatory sections - in terms of having a summary, lists, etc., to
 make
  the spec a little easier to read and understand.

  Also, I think it's very important to consider this more of a wish
 list,
  in the short term, for content owners and aggregators alike (albeit a
 good
  starting point for a score card of sorts in the future.)

  My point being that, to be fair, many of these best practices are
  actually very complex features that could literally take months or
 years
  to implement correctly.

  I'm not that worried about Mefeedia -- we seemed to have a good score
  when I went through the little checklist, for the most part, so I am
  pleased...

  But it was a little confusing going through the checklist, the way it
 was
  formatted...

  so I would be happy to offer my services as spec editor (for a little
  clean up now, and while making updates in the future) -- so we can add
 a
  summary, resources, links to working examples, etc., to make this a
 nice,
  professinal looking spec that will have to be taken seriously by
  businesses and can hopefully become a real pseudo facto standard for
 years
  to come.

  (I'm a w3c spec wonk from years back, if that explains why I would
  volunteer for such an arduous task. i'm sick. i actually like writing
  specs :-)

  When we have those specific details and a clear guidelines for
  implementation in place, I believe more companies and vloggers will
 feel
  better about signing on to support it too.

Hey Jen,

Thanks a lot for this :-)

I couldn't find the right words.

This reverse racism thing is real. And, in my opinion, it's what's going
on a lot in comedy today under the guise of insult comics. (carlos
mencia, lisa lampanelli, etc.)*

Thanks,

lisa

ps. Remember triumph the insult dog? Supposedly he was the one that
started it all... Well, he knew how to insult without being racistif I
remember correctly... but i digress...



 Yeah, ya'all this video is totally racist. I find it very strange we
 now live in a world where many want to say hey it's ok with me and
 that's not racist, just lame. Yes, it is a bad video, lame, etc.
 But also  it is racist. It plays on and depends on racist stereotypes.

 Let's just call it what it is

The right has certainly
 succeeded in twisting our ability to understand what racism is, how
 it has worked, and how it is currently being perpetuated. That was
 their goal, well stated, documented... in the 1970s after the two
 decades of civil rights movement successes. David Duke and company
 (otherwise known as the Klan) set out a 20-year strategic plan that
 included introducing the idea of reverse racism into our culture.
 Which they did (check out the 1992 republican national convention).

 It's the how of racism looks today, people. Which is different than
 how racism looked twenty years ago, or forty years ago, or 100 years

 mean racism doesn't exist or this isn't racist.

Ha! Plastic coffin. How true! Now that I've got a Nokia N95 my poor flip cam
is sitting in the dark waiting to be picked up again. But I was happy to use
it on a canoe trip a month ago and it did a great job even in the little
waterproof pouch I had.

I did a video comparison of the flip with the RCA small wonder and the flip
won hands down. The RCA has the very nice feature of SD expansion but the
video quality is poor and the software does not exactly run off the camera
as advertised. You have to install a couple of dependencies first. Here's
the comparison.

   I was curious about the Flip Video as an cheap, easy option to let my

 I just got it last night, and took it straight to the bon dance at my
 local church. No instructions, no practice. And I was impressed --
 again remembering that it's a $130 gadget. Heck, its ability to
 capture ANYTHING at night was surprising.

 For a while I was flummoxed to not find a single administrative menu
 on the thing (I can't turn off the cheesy beeps)... but then I
 realized that's exactly why this might work for kids, grandma, or the
 wholly impatient YouTube fan itching to get SOMETHING online.

 The hardest part of getting started was getting the thing out of the
 darn molded plastic coffin it came in. The hardest part of using the
 videos it recorded was... well, using a Mac. It comes with stuff for
 Windows, but to use OSX video tools takes some hacking. More hacking
 than I had patience for. So I just ran the Flip Video software under
 Parallels. I used the Movie Mix tool, strung together 25 clips, and
 voila:

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Sane Release form

2007-07-14 Thread Lisa Rein

Hey jay and gang!

 The question that is still unanswered is:
 does a legal release form need to be in legalese?
 or can I write one up that is human readable, but still a serious
 document?

I am not a lawyer, but, I think I can help here.
(People ask this question a lot :-)

Well if two people agree on a document and sign it, it's legally binding
and all that -- and in that way it's a serious document, in the sense
that I think you mean.

But legally binding won't get you far later if you have a signed
document whose true legal meaning leaves too much open for interpretation.

Ambiguity can be your friend or your enemy - But I'm going to make the
case for ambiguity not being your friend (although I will pitch both sides
in a p.s. below)

Lack of legalese often leads to ambiguity - and that will cause trouble
later when things go wrong. eg when one party or the other decides that
the other party has violated their agreement in some way.

If you wrote up on a piece of paper:

X can use Y's artwork
X will pay Y $$ for it
X can use it for anything for two years after the date of this document.
and both X and Y signed it

The question then becomes (to a judge) - what were the terms of the
agreement exactly? (which uses were allowed, and which were restricted)

So questions like:  What does anything mean. Does it mean friggin
anything? Or any use that existed to the best of either party's
knowledge at the time of the document? or whatever

And then, did X violate those terms, or not?
(Did the use in question fall under the allowable uses?)

So with Creative Commons licenses -- since they are based on existing
copyright law, if you were to prosecute a party for the unauthorized use
of your copyrighted work, you could not afford yourself the legal
protections under existing copyright law if the licenses did not use the
exact legal language *of existing copyright law. (Without that language,
it's difficult to determine what the authorized and unauthorized uses
in question even are.)

Even with the human readable versions, it's really still too complicated
to figure out very quickly, if ya ask me, so I've created this table that
summarizes and compares them - with the pros and cons of each, here:
http://video.lisarein.com/sfsu/guide/prosandcons.html

well, hope this helps :-)

thanks!

lisa

(co-founder, creative commons)
(former director of operations, wide hive records)

p.s. total sidenote on ambiguity:

It totally depends which side of the agreement you're on at any given time
whether the ambiguity helps you or hurts you.

When I'm an artist selling a photograph - I want to be paid for *that
specific use* of my work, say, for an album cover, so the company has to
come back to me to give me more money if, say, they want to make t-shirts,
or whatever.

But here's the flip side: as a record label person, I don't want to have
to go looking for the artist to make a separate deal every time I want to
make a t-shirt or print a mug or whatever of the artwork you just paid
$1000 for fer your album cover.

It's easier to give them a little more upfront and write up an agreement
that says you can do what your what you want with the artwork -- usually
for a limited period of time, like two years after the album comes out --
and if the artist is smart, they can protect themselves by putting in
language like doesn't not include commercial uses other than those
directly promoting the album., etc.

read or confusing settings
- includes software on the device so you can run it on any computer (no
installation!... think internet cafe)
- AA batteries -- much better for field use

 Very interesting. But for an extra $50 you can get a Sanyo Xacti c40.
 A 2GB memory card will run you $24.99. Both are available at Radio Shack.

It takes 2 AA batteries. Not sure how long they last since there is no
battery indicator yet that says I need to replace them. I've been using the
camera over the last two days and haven't replaced them yet. Not enough data
to say...

   Thanks for the comparison videos. I've been curious about these
 camcorders for a while. I almost bought one just for the heck of it
 but the price wasn't right.

 The .avi video quality looked ok for outdoor shots and Zooey was in
 motion enough so that I could see if there was any artifacts around
 her. I did notice a bit in the background grass from time to time.

 I'm glad that I can bypass proprietary software and edit as normal.
 What kind of batteries does the gizmo take and how long do/did they last?

Re: [videoblogging] Best Practices for Media Aggregators Pixelodeon

2007-06-06 Thread Lisa Rein

sounds good roxanne :-)


btw - I wasn't suggesting a point system at all (um. ick :)
-- just a checklist.

and really, just a little reformatting, with some links to appropriate
docs, as a starting point.

after the pixelodeon frenzy, perhaps we can write up a summary and provide
some use cases.

peace,

 Hey Roxanne,

  RE: http://www.barefeetstudios.com/aggregation/

  Hey this doc looks like a great start -- but could use re-org and a few
  explanatory sections - in terms of having a summary, lists, etc., to
 make
  the spec a little easier to read and understand.

 I very much appreciate your feedback. FWIW, the html on that page came
 straight from MS Word - nuf said!  The PDF reads a little easier, and
 yes, there is plenty of room for improvement. Let's see what kind of
 feedback comes in here over the next 24-48 hours, then I would love to
 let you place your loving hands on it so we have an improved version
 for Pixelodeon discussion.


  Also, I think it's very important to consider this more of a wish
 list,
  in the short term, for content owners and aggregators alike (albeit a
 good
  starting point for a score card of sorts in the future.)

  My point being that, to be fair, many of these best practices are
  actually very complex features that could literally take months or
 years
  to implement correctly.

 I'd like the group to debate this; many feel that there are ample RSS
 standards in place to accommodate most of what we have proposed.
 Techies?? Please weigh in on this.


  I'm not that worried about Mefeedia -- we seemed to have a good score
  when I went through the little checklist, for the most part, so I am
  pleased...

 Congrats.. :-)
 The idea of a point system has been in the back of my mind too. IMO
 that would require considerably more work (and agreement) plus a
 fair-minded panel to rate each aggregator. I think it's a great plan
 for version 2, if we can get v1 into motion. I also envision creating
 a master list of aggregators with some sort of indication of
 pass-fail, so we are on the same page with this idea.

 I don't expect anyone to score perfect; the idea is to move
 performance standards forward into tangible form. And the caveats are
 really meant to both provide wiggle room and cover the nuance of a
 particular service. For example, a lot of people host at blip. Blip
 shares movie-based ad revenue but not the display ad revenue that
 wraps media on the page. (I am pretty sure I am accurate on that.)
 OTOH, they host (not just aggregate) our media and provide so many
 value-adds. They also qualify as having a direct relationship with
 the CO, which also means anything is negotiable.

  But it was a little confusing going through the checklist, the way it
 was
  formatted...

  so I would be happy to offer my services as spec editor (for a little
  clean up now, and while making updates in the future) -- so we can add
 a
  summary, resources, links to working examples, etc., to make this a
 nice,
  professinal looking spec that will have to be taken seriously by
  businesses and can hopefully become a real pseudo facto standard for
 years
  to come.

  (I'm a w3c spec wonk from years back, if that explains why I would
  volunteer for such an arduous task. i'm sick. i actually like writing
  specs :-)

 You're on!  I'll send you raw files off list tomorrow and look forward
 to your mastery Lisa.


  When we have those specific details and a clear guidelines for
  implementation in place, I believe more companies and vloggers will
 feel
  better about signing on to support it too.

 Agreed.

 Jay had a great idea that once we have this in place, it can be sent
 directly to an aggregator in violation, and we can even have
 designated representatives to meet with each company. Mike at blip has
 been bearing the brunt of this work; a document like this with
 hundreds (thousands??) of signers can only strengthen our position.

 We've envision the online signin/support petition as being open to all
 people - not just media creators, so our base of support is wide open.
 Once we have this in place, then we can start tracking and blogging
 about those who play nicely and those who don't, to bring our
 collective influence to bear out there.

We could rent a van maybe, and make a shuttle out of it for the event...

We'd need someone to just drive people around in the van all day/night
though...but I think there's enough time to find someone for that :-)

is this what you're already working out?

 That is the other project, to provide a van or carpool option so that
 we can go as a bunch then party on before, during and after the event.

My point is there is a reason for all the constructs in vlogging. And
that point is accessibility and usability. I could give a crap less
about what people want to call it, but without many of the core
fundamental features in a blog like permalinks, and an archive it'll
be hard to get and retain regular viewership.

Hmmm. Time will tell. And technology will evolve whether we're involved or
not. Lots of people don't know what permalinks are. But they know they can
subscribe for things in iTunes and see previous episodes listed in iTunes.
Show notes? It won't be long before subscribers start asking for them. And
things will happen. Once you involve the general public, you also involve
decision-makers in the general public. They won't act, until they
understand...

That Amanda has caught the attention of mainstream media and public is

   VIDEO BLOGGER AMANDA CONGDON JOINS ABC NEWS DIGITAL MEDIA GROUP AS A
   CONTRIBUTOR
  
  
   Dedicated to expanding its network and channel brands across multiple
   platforms and
   connecting viewers with their favorite shows anytime and anywhere,
   Disney-ABC
   Television Group announced today that Amanda Congdon has joined ABC
   News Digital
   Media Group as a contributor. In this role she will primarily
   contribute through a weekly
   video blog on the network's online component, ABCNEWS.com, and
   frequently appear on
   the 24-hour digital channel, ABC News Now.
  
   We are excited about the addition of Amanda and her unique,
   insightful approach to our
   team said Albert Cheng, executive vice president, Digital Media,
   Disney-ABC Television
   Group. Her background and proven ability to effortlessly blend news
   and pop culture will
   be invaluable assets as we continue to evolve how we deliver news and
   information across
   our digital platforms.
  
   I am very pleased to be joining the Disney-ABC Television Group team.
   They are breaking
   new ground online and I am eager to forge ahead with them, said Ms.
   Congdon. Many
   people use the internet as their #1 news source, so it's exciting that
   a major news provider
   like ABC News is actively expanding their original program offerings
   in the space.
  
   Ms. Congdon recently traveled across the country as part of her
   AmandaAcrossAmerica
   project, where she chronicled her experiences via video blogging,
   which included
   interviewing Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack. Prior to her nationwide tour,
   she was the well-
   known host of the daily online news show, Rocketboom.com. Ms. Congdon
   graduated
   magna cum laude from Northwestern University and currently resides in
   Los Angeles.
  
   The ABC News Digital Media group continues to show incredible growth
   through both
   ABCNEWS.com and ABC News Now. ABCNEWS.com hit a five-year high in
   October with
   more than 138 million page views, showing a 77% increase from October
   2005, according

Re: [videoblogging] Video Nation: Agency Finds A Majority Now Create Their Own Video, But Few Post Them

2006-12-01 Thread Lisa Harper

Okay... this is cool, but... what about the problem with bandwidth? Is the
overall throughput on the global internet actually increasing and can it
meet the demand??

I, for one, am stuck with relatively slow speeds at home. There is no cable
or DSL available so I don't subscribe to videoblogs, it's too great a burden
on the pipe. Uploading video is a pain unless I find time to do it at work.
Bittorrent has been incredibly useful. But it's akin to snail mail given
I've downloaded some stuff that's taken weeks. Psychologically, I'm happy
with this arrangement -- it's not supposed to be fast. Some of the folks I
know who are relatively untech-savvy -- have the same problem with getting
video on the web. Capturing is not a problem. Editing doesn't go beyond
trimming and is not difficult learn. But putting clips on the web takes them
a whole lot of time because of low bandwidths. So, in my mind, there is a
process here that is long and difficult -- not actual steps in and of
themselves.

Where I see a potential gain is the ability for the device (in the field) to
actually background transfer media to some website where users can edit,
post, etc. So, imagine a cellphone where data transfer does not impede other
functionality on the device. A kind of bittorrent queue. By the time the
user is home and ready to review and edit videos, they are online and the
effort is now relatively small to edit, delete, share, etc! Of course, you
still have the b/w problem at home for loading but quite frankly, I can
see a technological solution here, too... previews and edits could be made
on thinner media (smaller data rates, frame rates) -- and even the ability
to torrent down the user's inbox so it's resident on the home machine with
the ability to sync edits

Video Nation: Agency Finds A Majority Now Create Their Own Video, But

Post Them by Joe Mandese, Thursday, Nov 30, 2006 8:00 AM ET IN A FINDING
THAT UNDERSCORES the potential of a vast, untapped market for
user-generated
video, new research conducted by interactive agency Sharpe Partners
indicates that more than half (54) percent of adult Internet users
currently
create their own video offline, but only 11 percent actually upload it to
the Internet. That margin, says Sharpe, represents a significant
opportunity
for software and system providers to help facilitate the migration of a
burgeoning consumer generated video marketplace online. It also suggests
an
even more profound fragmentation of the video marketplace is looming than
many industry experts may have predicted. One of the chief reasons for the
disparity between producing and posting video is the difficulty consumers
said they have with the process. The study, which was conducted online by
Harris Interactive, surveyed 2,125 U.S. adults between June 29 and July 2,
and found that more than two-thirds of those who create their own video
found it difficult to edit their content due to the lack of
consumer-friendly software.

Clearly, given easier solutions, consumers will be far more likely to
edit
their videos, said Sharpe CEO Kathy Sharpe. And those who edit their
video
are presumably more likely to share it with others, which will expand this
market even further.

[videoblogging] Assistance and feedback for Richard's Wife Please

2006-11-16 Thread Lisa Ours

Hiya Gang,

I'm sending out a plea for some help from the group.  Richard's wife 
recently did a vlog titled:  Blue Star of Hope.   It has a part 1, 1.5 and 
2.   Could folks please go to the site and view the vlogs and then could you 
please post back with answers to the following questions?

1.  How did you view it (flash version, QT version, Windows media version)
2.  How long did it take to download?
3.  How was the quality of the video?


Richard is of playing at Vlog Europe currently and Richard's wife is doing 
all of this stuff solo right now. She's noticed some slight buggyness with 
the download times in certain formats and could really use some 
compassionate feedback on the list to assist in working out the bugs.

Thanks in advance to everyone for your help with this.  Richard's wife would 
have emailed the list herself except that she hasn't got an email that can 
handle the volume nor does she have the extra time so I am being the loving 
and dutiful Daughter and assisting her in this effort.

Cheers,
Lisa (daughtershow)

Five pounds, 12 ounces, screams like a Beatles groupie, has my hair

This is the first of what I'm sure will be thousands of videos of

Kayleigh. That is, until she's old enough to hold the camera and turn

it on us. With a vlogger and a documentary maker as parents, you'd

think it would be inevitable. :-)



I'll try to upload more videos over the weekend.

 This is a question for the Flash developers out there...

 I'm creating a little side-project Flash application that plays Flash
 Video files (FLV) from a playlist.

 I've run into a documented bug in FLV versions prior to Flash 8 where
 the duration metadata is incorrect. This screws up the time progress
 bar and seeking functionality of my video controller. There must be a
 trick to get the duration for older versions of FLV since its obvious
 that other Flash video controllers can do this. Any advice from the
 Actionscripters out there?

 Here's some documentation of the bug (scroll to the bottom):
 http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=FLV_Video_Compression

 and here: http://www.sti-media.com/blog/archives/000111.html

 This documented bug is quite common since most video upload sites
 automatically compress with Sorensen (Flash Video 6/7 codec).

 I've used a tool called FLV Metadata Injector to correct the FLV metadata:

 This does work, but I'd rather be backwards compatible with Flash Video 6/7.

This for sure not a stupid question.

You could ruin your equipment if you used oil based products. (I do
not know if WD-40 uses oil thoug) WD-40 will dry very quick, collects
dust and that will jam your tripod again.

I used silicone spray for my tripod lubrication, this spray specialy
made for non metal lubrication. (Use outside do not inhale!!)

Where to buy silicone-spray.

Most likely they have it in a hardware store like Home-depot, Menards,
Ace-hardware for about $3 or $5 a spraycan.

It works great for drawers, garagedoors, inside and outside doors,
everything that sqeeks. Do not spray it on areas that have to be
painted because the paint won't stick anymore!

Date: Fri, 12 May 2006 14:17:47 -

Whew, okay. I just finished peaking under every rock I could think of
to find all the women videobloggers I could find and I came up with
around 70. I was actaully quite surprised - it never seemed like that
many - not that 70 is that many.

So, okay... I promised myself that I would give back (not that I'm
like out of it to be giving back - but you know what I mean) to the
vlogging community somehow. And I do like the idea of collaborating -
even though I'm often short on time. So in an attempt to bridge a
virtual gap of sorts I created this collective: http://vidlicious.com

I really want to see more women creating video. I want us to find ways
to work together. And I often like that we don't agree on things
because it keeps us on point and thinking and finding solutions.

This collective vlog is just one big link loving/video-making fest. So
please email me if you'd like to join. If you don't email me, I'll be
forced to spend another night sending out 70 individual emails asking
for support. I'm hoping it benefits us all as it continues to evolve.

Okay, I'll be waiting!

PS: And if you know of any female vlogger I missed on the list, email
me that info too. Thanks...

The Nata village videoblog, Episode 3: Nata clinic.http://natavillage.org
The Nata Clinic is responsible
for health care delivery to the 6,000 residents of Nata, Botswana and the surrounding
villages. More than 12,000 people rely on the services of the clinic.
The clinic also oversees the three remote health outposts of Maposa,
Manxotai, and Sepako. The outposts are reached by dirt/sand track
and the farthest is 36 miles away. The clinic is so busy that
it is often referred to as a hospital. The closest general hospital
is 60 miles away and the closest surgical hospital is 120 miles away.
The clinic consists of two main buildings. The 1st building has
two consultation rooms, one room for wound dressing changes, pharmacy,
and an office. The 2nd building consists of a 3 bed
ward, 2 bed delivery room and a 4 bed post delivery/recovery room.
There is also a trailer where the PMTCT (Prevention of Mother to Child
Transmission) Lay Counselor performs pre and post test counseling for
HIV/AIDS and the nurses collect blood for the CD4 (T-Cell) count of
HIV infected patients. The compound also has four houses where
some of the nurses live.

They have no idea! I think they first heard the word videoblog last 
week.
So let's show them some great stuff, some stuff by women, some stuff 
that will get their mental gears turning. They're super smart and open 
to new things but just not familiar at all with the vlogosphere.
I'm sure vlogs by women  about womens' issues would be really 
compelling to them.

 I'm visiting a well-known womens' magazine in NYC on Thursday to talk

 So, if you were going to see the editors of a magazine you've probably

You said it!  How crummy is it that iTunes inhaled the (OPML) iPodder

individual user level -- not being able to easily export subscriptions

Now, this tickled something in my brain, because I remember writing

possible. /Exactly how does Technorati use OPML in its implementation of
Reading Lists? Does it import OPML but export something else? Import and
export? Who's played with it?
/

And here's the response I got from Niall Kennedy of Technorati:

Hi Lisa,
Technorati outputs OPML for its Blog Finder product across every blog
finder page we serve. This feature allows people to easily populate an
RSS aggregator with a list of feeds in a given topic.

http://feeds.technorati.com/blogs/gardening?format=opml

You may also download a listing of the most popular Blog Finder tags
in OPML format.

well, they support opml for the import or 'reading lists' but they
dont seem to allow export. so as far as the favorites feature, they
should at least offer opml export there.
but i want more, i want to export a tag, even if i am only allowed to
export the latest 50 or whatever from the tag. i'd like to see the
option and since technorati is built around links, they could be more
open by providing more ways to take links out without voodoo.

Can it be that they do not support OPML? This is insane!

Which part is insane? The fact that Technorati might not support a
standard like OPML? (hurm... I use the term standard quite
loosely.)

Do they have an xoxo list instead?

Re: [videoblogging] Technorati OPML ??

2006-04-04 Thread Lisa Williams

I'm not sure the OPML file would be so large.

The OPML file would have a single line of text for each blog containing 
the RSS URL of the videoblog, along with some elements to make the 
OPML work.
Let's imagine that each line of text was 1K (probably an overstatement, 
but makes the math easy).  Then the OPML for 9,000 videoblogs would be 9MB.

The problem wouldn't be the OPML file--but what happened when you tried 
to load all those videoblogs in your aggregator.  Probably explosions, 
smoke, flame, toxic fumes ;)

This brings up a good question, how to make lightweight directories of 
videoblogs.  OPML would be a good use of that, because it's used to make 
outlines (like a tree structure).  Each person could edit their branch 
of the tree.  But we'd need smart aggregators to be able to move from 
branch to branch without downloading unless we really wanted to.  
(Forgive me if the videoblog aggregators already do that.  I just got 
started again with FireAnt, which I like a lot.  I had it on my old 
computer, but then that computer died an ugly death, and it's taken me 
awhile to get a new computer and get it all set up again).

 If they did support OPML (to export the blogs being syndicated for a 
 tag or whatever), the file would probably be HUGE (in most cases).

 Think about it.  Technorati (and the other blog search engines) are 
 indexes millions and millions of blogs,  Potentially you could have 
 enormously gigantic OPML files.  (Maybe something like OMPL files that 
 are 9000 GB in size.)  And because of this, they probably thought that 
 there is no point.  (Even in the cases where there are very few blogs 
 show up for the tag/search.)

RE: [videoblogging] Vlogging dangerously...brainstorming session

2006-04-03 Thread Lisa Ours MA PLPC

I know for me, I took the concept to mean out of my comfort zone  or 
Doing something you wouldn't normally do  Perhaps a little bit of 
exhibitionism if your an introvert... even a small amount of exhibitionist 
behavior can be dangerous for someone who is really Buttoned up.

I hate being in front of the camera so... I love to do footage of others 
doing things but having to be the one on is really hard and uncomfortable 
so I'm figuring on trying to be in a few things this week as opposed to 
running the cameraEwww... I already feel dirty just thinking about it.

Anyway that's my two cents worth on the concept...

So, Amy and I are having a hard time coming up with dangerous vlogging
ideas that we can fairly easily do.  We also don't want to do something
too asinine or juvenile (ala Jackass or Trigger Happy TV stuff) because
that's so farr of the usual vision of our vlog.

I'm sure there are others with a little creative block, too, so how
about a little brainstorming?  What, to you, embodies vlogging
dangerously?

We're already doing a piece on a gay rodeo going on down here.  That's
pretty inherrently dangerous.  Other things we were thinking about...

...trying to evangelize the great Flying Spaghetti Monster.
...doing a glamorbomb and vlogging the results.


Honestly, though, finding dangerous material that can be done around
the constraints of a dayjob is pretty tricky.  What other ideas have
people had?

[videoblogging] TechCrunch: Motionbox best online video sharing so far

2006-04-02 Thread Lisa Harper

This is moving us toward the idea of  high granularity of
videoblogging that Adrian Miles talks about.

http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/04/02/motionbox-best-online-video-sharing-so-far/

To get what Motionbox is doing, take a YouTube and add a ton of
really great editing, mashup and deep tagging features. Like YouTube,
Motionbox transcodes files to flash to reduce file size and
standardize viewing. But they also store the original files and allow
you or those you authorize to download those files and/or purchase
DVDs with the files.

Thanks for that, I would love to meet you too, work permitting I  could 
make time to meet up in a more mutually neutral place than  Milton Keynes, 
Coventry or even Northampton would be better for me,  being an Northerner 
and all that.   I shall also ask my Partner In  Crime Paul Reynoldson, If 
he wants to meet up too, but he's in Donny  and might need some coaxing.

So We'll see then

Paul

Dang it and woops!  I guess I should have let sleeping dogs lie I'd be 
there in a heartbeat if I wasn't already scheduled for a Family Dinner with 
the in-laws that night... Mom-in-Law is not Vlog-Friendly in the 
slightest.  Colossal waste of time and energy that could be better used 
doing just about anything else. When I suggested doing something video 
related to my brand new nephew I was actually told You will NOT vlog the 
baby.   Les Sigh Would so love to make it but if we do another close to 
home I will make sure to get it on my calendar so I don't miss the next one.

Vloggers event at the West County Mall Apple Store in St. Louis next
Saturday March 25th 6 to 8PM. If anyone decides to fly in for that
one I can recomend some nice hotels ... heh heh.

Actually it would be nice to see if we could get some of the

I love it!  Maybe instead of ranting about our peeves we should actually 
vlog something on our peeves... Not just a I'm sitting in front of the 
camera bitching for 3 minutes (not that that can't be hilarious) but maybe 
something very creative and funny about how our pet peeves affect us and our 
lives... Sorry I'm babbling... back to my corner.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Premiere Confusion...HELP?

This is just a humble suggestion from the peanut gallery... but:

When I capture my video I do a bit of Mini-editing during capture.  I tend 
to Pre-view the footage I've taped and then rewind and Stop capture on 
portions that are either obvious bad shots or not central to the plot line 
of my end product.  That way I automatically cut some space and time off of 
the production before I even begin my editing process.

Perhaps that could help you as well seeing as how you are dealing with 
limited drive space.

Cheers!
Lisa

 If I were in your situation, I would Export Movie (project) to .avi,
then once I check to see that the .avi is working properly and it's
the way I want it... I would delete all the clips (your 50 minutes of
footage) and start a new project using the .avi file you just made.

That's not a bad idea.  I can turn the .avi back into individual clips,
then, using the split tool, right?

 I'm surprised you have that much footage!  When I film Kitkast, I end
up with about 50 minutes of footage as well, but my show is 10 minutes
long!  I sure hope you're not recording in between takes...

This was on-site taping of the a gay pride festival in Ft. Lauderdale.  We
were on site for a good 6-7 hours and there was a lot to shoot.  Besides
that, we wanted to make sure we had good footage of large crowds of people
so we could edit in a feeling of bigness, and for me, that meant making
a lot of throwaway footage.

I learned almost imediately upon doing my first vlog that the Vlog-Lords

price we pay.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Top Ten Vlogging Mistakes


I like the concept of a Copyrighted Material  limited Use Fee I know I'm 
willing to pay to download music from one site or another for a nominal fee. 
If I like the CD I'm still gonna go out and buy it at Sam Goody or Tower so 
I can get the cool cover art and lyrics, photos etc.

If I'm willing to do that then It stands to reason that I'd be willing to 
pay a yearly subscription fee of a reasonable amount to a site that would 
allow limited use of material by more famous musicians, film-makers, etc. 
How realistic is it that the Big Guys would ever do this?  Not likely at 
all unles the faceless masses bring it to somebody's attentioncome to 
think of it... do we have a Vlog Lobby?

  which seems to me to be since there isn't enough good
  CC music in the world, the law should let me take
  whatever i want from whomever i want, and that is
  conceptually problematic.


I don't expect the law ever to do that, nor would I consider it fair.
Artists have a right to decide how their music gets used. If and when
someone asks me to take down any of my videos because they don't like my 
use
of their music, I will certainly do so, though I firmly believe that my use
is not doing the artists any harm and may even give them some useful
publicity (I tend to use music not currently popular). But of course they
would have the right to disagree with me.

What I would like to see is a mechanism in place that any artist who wishes
to can participate in, which allows me to use music as stock photography is
used, as Gottadiva describes. The way things are now, it is prohibitively
expensive for everyone except the really big players to use the really big
music _legally_. I ran across an article a few months ago about the 
problems
professional documentary filmmakers have with music in their films, even
when the music occurs naturally in the environment they're filming, e.g. 
a
ringtone.

All that said, I just did a count and find that I have around 70 videos
which involve no music except what was already there (e.g., sing-alongs at
home, parades and other public events). I have deliberately added music to
only 13 or so of my videos, and in most cases the music is mixed in with 
the
original sound such that you could not strip it out and get a clean audio
track, and/or is edited.


CC is a nascent movement;
of course it doesn't suit every need right now.  but
the likelihood that CC could grow as a popular
movement into the sort of thing that suits your/our
needs is much greater in my opinion than the
likelihood that the united states congress is going to
suddenly have an a-ha moment, ignore entertainment
industry lobbying groups, and magically stop
repressing remix culture.

Until Napster, there was little pressure on the music industry to lower its
prices (up to $30 for a single CD in Europe!) or improve its distribution
methods or even face the fact that a lot of people don't like so-called
popular music. Now there's a solution that I think everyone can agree on
(iTunes et al), but I doubt this solution would have arrived without
consumer pressure to let us have what we want, how we want it - and then
we're willing to pay a fair price for it.

It seems to me the same could happen with remix culture. It shouldn't be
legal for people to use anything in any way they wish. But if the industry
and the artists were willing to meet us halfway... they might even find
whole new sources of revenue they never imagined.
