[videoblogging] Re: How to create a link within a .wmv?
Thank you Charles and Jake for your responses to my question. Using a Mac I can have access to the Windows environment through Parallels Desktop for the Mac software. With some encouragement a few people I know using the Windows system should be able to guide me to Windows Media File Editor and its encoding techniques. This should take some time but I¹ll report back when I have some results. Jake, thanks again for the suggestion.

[videoblogging] Help with iTunes upload
Vloggers: Looking for some help uploading my vlog to iTunes. Usually with enough time I can figure these things out, but not this time. The instructions I followed were to: 1. create an account on blogger.com, 2. upload my vlogs to that account, then 3. create an account on feedburner.com, 4. paste in the url of my blogger.com account and feedburner.com generates a new url http://feeds.feedburner.com/Poetryvlogcom 5. paste that into the ³submit a podcast to iTunes directory² window and click on the continue button. Each time I do that I get the message, ³the feed has no episodes². Well that is true, each week a new poet is featured and the site¹s url http://www.poetryvlog.com remains the same, so there are no episodes per se, but the featured poet is different each week even though the url remains the same (the browser opens the index.html page). Is there a known work around that will allow the upload of a url for this site that iTunes will recognize as episodic?

[videoblogging] RB's great satire on the recent debate
Have I missed it, or has no one here mentioned Rocketboom's casual Friday's take on the is it sexism/TV vs Vlogs issues? As I watched I could not help but think the several hundred subscribers to this listserve were the only viewers who would truly understand the recent origins of the debate. Hats off to Amanda and Andrew for a brilliant satire. And don't fail to click on the link to the elephant video. SPONSORED LINKS Fireant Individual Typepad Use Explains YAHOO!

[videoblogging] Compression settings make a difference?
Title: Compression settings make a difference? To edit my videos using iMovie on my Mac I relied on the settings provided by Michael and Ryanne on their great Freevlog.org site. Those settings have served my site well, both in .mov and .wmv formats. Today I read on Vimeo.coms Upload Guide different recommended settings. Following the Vimeo settings as shown below I reformatted an existing QuickTime video and played them side by side. The Vimeo settings worked well, with the only difference being the Vimeo settings produce a file size of 30.28MB vs 14.95MB for Freevlog. The two of us here differ as to which output is slightly better. Has any one here experimented with the two settings? Do these setting differences affect how videos appear in the browser? Vimeo.com: Under Video, click Settings. Compression Type: Sorensen Video 3. Frame rate: Current fps. Key Frames: Every 60 frames. Data rate: Restrict to 1200 kbits/sec. Quality: Best. Under Sound, click Settings. Format: QDesign Music 2 Channels: Stereo (L R) Rate: 44.100. Click Options and set the bitrate to 48kbits/s.

[videoblogging] Re: Compression settings make a difference?
Title: Re: Compression settings make a difference? Michael Verdi: Thank you for your comprehensive explanation of the differences between the two groups of compression settings. For me, Ill stick with the Freevlog.org recommended settings. Next Ill buy 3ivx and learn it. Up, up, and away on the learning curve. Your help to all of us is always appreciated and on target. Michael http://www.poetryvlog.com Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2006 17:01:51 -0500 From: Michael Verdi [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Compression settings make a difference? Here are some differences and things to note about these settings: 1. The Vimeo settings, I'm sure, work well as you say but - Sorenson 3 is an older, less effecient codec. This is why you noted similar quality at 2X the bit rate. 2. QDesign Music 2 audio codec often sounds very tin can and swirly to me. Also it's much less effecient than AAC. 3. The mpeg4 video codec and AAC audio codec settings we show at Freevlog will give you iPod compatible video. Sorenson 3 and QDesign Music 2 are not compatible with the iPod. 4. Apple's version of the mpeg4 codec is certainly not the greatest. You can increase the quality (like with every codec) by increasing the bit rate from what we recommed in the tutorial. 5. Another option is to use the h.264 codec but there are some downsides: Apple took away the ability of using h.264 to make ipod compatible videos except when using export to iPod, which last time I checked, had the effect of squishing you video if it originates as DV; also h.264 requires QT7; and h.264 plays poorly on older computers. 6. Personally, my perferred option is to use the 3ivx version of the mpeg4 codec ($20 from 3ivx.com - but the free trial lasts forever). We have a tutorial on Freevlog for using the single pass version: URL: http://freevlog.org/index.php/2005/10/23/compress-for-the-web-with-3ivx/ and one of these days I'll get around to making a tutorial for using the dual-pass version which gives results close to those of h.264. The reason why we don't already have that tutorial is that there is a bug with 3ivx dual pass and QT 7. There is an easy workaround (I use it all the time) that can be found here: URL: http://forums.3ivx.com/index.php?s=e927e67253f3bec43952d568e6e99b7cshowtopic=83898st=0p=416725#entry416725 Hope that helps, Verdi On 4/24/06, M.

[videoblogging] .m4v files not appearing in browser
Hello Vloggers: Despite all the helpful responses to my inquiry about converting my movies into m4v format for downloading to a video iPod I am still having troubles getting them recognized for downloading. Using a Mac, I have converted .mov into .m4v. files showing the iTunes icon. These .m4v files have been uploaded to my website's directory (poetryvlog.com/movies/.m4v) but, instead of showing them, the browser gives the page cannot be found code 404 response. I can see them in the site's directory so I know they are there. These m4v files were created both in iMovie and QuickTime Pro along with flip4mac. On my computer the .m4v files play as videos in my iTunes window and as QuickTime movies. Any ideas as to what is causing the problem would be greatly appreciated.

[videoblogging] .m4v problem resolved?
Title: .m4v problem resolved? Hello Vloggers: No sooner had I sent the last message here then it occurred to me that the problem might be with the hosting service. I called the help desk at godaddy.com and the young lady was very helpful and identified the problem as residing with them - they do not have the plugin required to host .m4v files. She said I was the first person to report this and they will do what they can to add the plugin. (She claimed not to know what vlog meant.) Indicating that this file type is to allow downloading to iPods and somewhat surprised that no one has yet reported this problem, I joked about not letting her know my age, that I dont own an iPod, and that I can still learn new tricks on the internet. Hoping this is really the problem, and unless I hear otherwise from this group, Ill wait to hear from godaddy.com hosting that the problem is no more. Of course I will report back here.

[videoblogging] First Vlog
Title: First Vlog Hello All: Thanks to what I learned from Michael's and Ryanne's Freevlog.org I was able to create and launch a vlog I have been working on for some time. A weekly (maybe daily) video reading of poetry by the poet. www.poetryvlog.com The site is not artistic, or zippy, but it does serve the purpose of promoting poetry and the individual poets. There is more to learn and add, such as RSS feed and making the site downloadable to iPods. Any suggestions and encouragement you can offer will be appreciated. [EMAIL PROTECTED] YAHOO!
