So WebM only matches h.264 baseline profile for quality, and is bulkier and slower and uses more power? But surely the point is that this is just the beginning of an open development process? And isn't the most important thing that we now have something open that rivals h.264, which weakens MPEG-LA's position when they come to review the patent fees in 5 years. Even if it's not quite as good. The market cares more about cost than quality (VHS vs Betamax, etc). I'm sure that Google must have seen that alone as worth the $120m they spent on ON2. And then smart of them to realise that the best hope for VP8 to survive was to open source it. Who's going to choose another proprietary codec instead of h.264, especially if it's not as good? Speculations about the patents seem pointless - a patent pool will no doubt emerge and the risks will have been reviewed ad nauseam by Google. Similarities with h264 will have been obvious to them and are surely arguable by prior art, as noted by the x264 developer in his breakdown updates the comments. Google will deal with challenges the same way they've dealt with people like Viacom. Depressing to see Steve's notes about WebM CPU use though. Had hoped video might be lighter greener in all its post-Flash incarnations. Re full page video: Odd how few cool tools have been made with HTML5 video so far. It'll be interesting to see what the HTML5 version of Navigaya.com looks like, which they say is coming soon.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Why Our Civilization's Video Art and Culture is Threatened by the MPEG-LA
Their should just be a formal written statement of exclusion. maybe content creators and consumers are excluded while manufacturers of hardware and software are not. Then content creators would know that this will not and does not effect them. Maybe the fight should be for exemption policy and then rightly let the owners of the technology pursue their monetization in the right direction. Is this the elephant in the room? Do they even care about content creators? How much money is there? Not much. And even if they think their is, publishers will surely switch to other formats and it will be cat and mouse. Ridiculous to even conjure up. Some idiotic unlikely future scenario when the content police pounce. I like so-called Open technology. But I am not going to be concerned about my dinky little camera that outputs h.264. So if their should be a focus moving forward, I do believe that it should be in the form of formalized statement of exemption by MPEG-LA. Put the ongoing concerns to rest. In 5 years, it might not even matter. H.264 could be obsolete... or have modified license terms that clearly allow free use etc etc. How I feel at this particular moment in time and space under current normal brain function.

Re: [videoblogging] Multimedia
Might as well just focus on HTML5 and CSS3 and Javascript and cutting edge Web Browsers (Webkit, Gecko). The web page should be considered the viable multimedia canvas of the future.

Re: [videoblogging] adding click through url to movie
In the past, if the video was only delivered via my own site/page, I would
make the entire swf clickable with a transparent div overlay.
For videos that are to move around and be shared and embedded around the
web, I had opted to convert the video to swf format and hardcoded the canvas
to be clickable to either a hardcoded default url or a dynamic url if the
embed code contained the proper flashvar (i.e. url=http://mypermalink.com).
Likewise, By using Javascript APIs in certain flash players or html5
players, you can expose hyperlinks on the page at certain times or events.
Other linking features are often available like watermark logos or menu
links. The popular Jeroen/Longtail Video Player offers these:
http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/jw-player-for-flash-v5/10628/configuring-the-jw-player-pro
These techniques are hacky but were sufficient for certain needs. Sounds
like you might want actual hyperlink text or graphics to appear at certain a
certain point during a video or maybe multiple links etc.
And as you seem to know, their is software out there for doing this
typically used for ads. Here is some current news on such tech:
http://www.marketingvox.com/adcenter-labs-shows-off-breakthroughs-video-hyperlinks-026592/
Quicktime allows for better hyperlinking within the canvas as has been
pointed out.
This is a good solution if you don't mind mandating Quicktime as the player.
Would be interested to know about other options myself. Let us know if you
find any interesting and affordable solutions.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Google to open source VP8
I would not be surprised if H.264 evolves as a *more* open codec and royalty free in 5 or 6 years when licensing terms are due to be re-evaluated again. think of the landscape in 2016. google has pushed this. its probably googles best and most admirable contribution to the open web. also, its likely that youtube.com will support VP8 and no longer other codecs. which web browser and OS/platform will choose to not support all *new* youtube uploads? apple is the only company with the audacity to exclude youtube and push their own new video service which is in the works i believe. you think apple likes this youtube support they got themselves into? nope. they are breaking away from working with adobe and google and that includes youtube. google chrome (and chromium OS) and android are all going to support VP8 and these 3 platforms are extremely pervasive. mobile devices, netbooks and all computers run at least one of these google platforms. VP8 will be everywhere. H.264 will be Apple and Microsoft with Microsoft probably choosing to support VP8 at some point leaving Apple the largest supporter of H.264 until all this levels out. Also, regarding Ogg Theora It is totally adequate for casual web video consumption. no doubt about it. Not sure about on mobile devices so much... some issues there. But video quality is good enough for typical usage. This is often overlooked. On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 5:58 PM, elbowsofdeath st...@dvmachine.com wrote: Yes I think there are quite a few potential gains along the lines you indicate. As for h.264 charging issues, I only expect them to attempt to charge people who have the ability, incentive revenues to pay. I suppose it could happen, but its more likely that those higher up the chain, eg shows/networks with huge number of viewers, and sites that encode host videos, tool providers etc will be the ones to lead the charge away from h264 long before the average vlogger will be in line to be charged a fee. In principal I am hugely in favour of a free and open video format for the web, I only sound against it because I am mostly talking about all the practical realities that exist at the moment, not the ideal we should be striving for. Cheers Steve Elbows If Google's VP8 codec forces H264 to remain free...then that's a huge win right there. The minute that H264 decides to start charging any site that uses their codec...people could just switch over to VP8. I think Flash is being forced to open up as welland continue to innovate. It's also important for video tools as well. Be great to build a video editor (legally) without having to pay fees to use the core technology.

There is a difference between manufacturing controversies, and playing off organic substance that happens to be controversial. The former has proven disastrous time and again, in part, because an audience knows when it's being manipulated -- played cheaply (and consequently react in the negative, sooner or later). Moreover, CREATING controversy for the sake of attention is no less a tactic used by countless street walkers -- and look how well THEY are respected from an industry standpoint. This begs the question: how do we in web media (collectively) wish to have the public and advertisers perceive our work? As credible and substantive, offering content unavailable elsewhere? Or as attention whores who will stoop to depths to attract eyes, with antics better suited for mud wrestling and porn wanna-bes rather than garnering profitability? 911 jokes... Mother Teresa jabs...

And the hits just kept on comin, and coming and coming some more! ...controversy drives box office success, mass media interest and general awareness. Yet this year's Streamys did none of that, not even close! Instead the program showed a stellar way-ta-sustain the stereotype that web debauchery knows no bounds; nothing being off-limits. It showed potential advertisers and sponsors they are right to remain cautious of web-visual media. The event demonstrate how to alienate potential viewers with real spending power, for the sake of eye balls that mean diddlie to a balance sheet. The image this latest Streamy conveyed is unsustainable and weak, juvenile and short-sighted; pathetically misguided and woefully out-of-touch. Clearly devoid of seriousness, cutting-edge practicality, forward looking confidence or fostering broader mainstream financial patronage. It was an utter joke, and dragged all of us down with every awkward attempt at being slick -- rather than aiming for legitimacy! ...Good for the profile of web video, not bad. Hmmm, yeah, well you are certainly entitled to opinion. But considering mainstream media ignored the event, and independent web commentary has been widely negative. Your take isn't supported by the evidence. The inescapable truth is that the 2010 Streamys were total amateur night -- technical glitches notwithstanding. Now if the production's intent was to show industry immaturity, and a complete disregard for the BUSINESS side of the web video business? Then your perspective has a foothold, but not otherwise. Bottom-line, disrespect the audience and we'll get disrespected! That is; all the way to the bank where our accounts languish, because we're too cool to collectively admit error and do better.

Re: [videoblogging] Streamy disaster
didnt follow it. where's a good source of this coverage? On Mon, Apr 12, 2010 at 6:17 PM, elbowsofdeath st...@dvmachine.com wrote: So I hear the Streamy's this year were a disaster in several key ways and have gotten all the wrong sort of attention as a result. There is some concern that it has damaged the image of the 'industry', although it may be easy to overstate this point. It certainly didnt help, but the 'industry' has enough other problems too, although anything that harms potential sponsorship by appearing to confirm potential sponsors worst fears (eg uncontrolled juvenile amateurish smut tarnishing their brands) sounds bad to me. Unfortunately there is a part of me that is wildly entertained and amused by the streamyfail, considering it to be some kind of justice on a certain level. This isnt fair, as no doubt lots of blameless hard working people have been hurt by the streamyfail, but I suppose its a natural consequence of my disdain for the way some of the more visible parts of the 'industry' went, shoddy emulation of the existing media. What better way to symbolise two worlds colliding, and so much wasted potential, than to have a slick awards show humbled by technical glitches and naked people.

Re: [videoblogging] Launching: Video on Wikipedia – Fighting back for open codecs!
Very cool. Reminds me to get back in touch with Verdi about adding a new project to videobloggers.org where people submit ONLY ogg theora videos... as a way to educate about open video, html5 and software options to output to ogg. Sull On Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 7:33 PM, ratbagradio ratbagra...@gmail.com wrote: A word fromk MIRO: Today we're launching a project with the Open Video Alliance to promote video in Wikipedia articles. It's called: Let's Get Video on Wikipedia! http://www.videoonwikipedia.org/ This is a concept that I had thinking about and trying to nudge towards reality for a long time; I'm thrilled that we're finally there. There's a bunch of interesting aspects, but perhaps the heart of it is a chance to bring open video to mainstream users and strike a blow for freedom. Wikipedia is the most popular site in the world that posts video exclusively in open formats (specifically, theora). The steadfast commitment that the Wikimedia Foundation has to open information, tools, and formats, is amazing. They truly put their values first. By encouraging more people to post videos in Wikipedia articles, we can bring theora video played in html5 to a very large audience. Currently, there are very few wikipedia articles that have videos (here's one that does: Polar Bear). We hope that this campaign will bring thousands more to the site and show people how great theora can be. HTML 5 video, which plays without Flash, is a wonderful step towards a more open web but if it depends on proprietary codecs like h.264, we will still be stuck with a gatekeeper for online video. What else makes this a great campaign? 1. Having a video in a Wikipedia article can bring topics to life in a way that photos and text alone can't do. It's an incredibly engaging medium. Think about the difference between reading about a cheetah's top speed and actually seeing it run. 2. We've worked hard with folks at Wikipedia to simplify the process of posting video to Wikipedia and we've got it down to 5 pretty simple steps. So now, for the first time in a truly human-usable form, here is: how to post a video to Wikipedia. 3. Sh. If you look around that site, you'll notice a reference to a new Miro product that is in a usable beta form but not quite ready for a full launch. Look for a launch announcement very soon. 4. If you watch a video on a Wikipedia article but you aren't on a browser like Firefox or Chrome, it will play in a Java player (it's pretty awkward) but it will also point you to Firefox, so that you can get a better browser. Another win for openness! 5. We've created a nice gallery of videos that are being submitted to Wikipedia in a Wikipedia Miro Community site so you can see what people are posting. There's a lot more to come from this campaign, so make sure to follow Open Video Alliance on twitter and become a fan of the project on facebook. http://feeds.getmiro.com/~r/miroblog/~3/-hhNFp5JYjc/ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!

I was spending 40 hours a week on YouTube for over a year before I made a dime, Mr. Buckley said We wanted to turn these hobbies into businesses, said Hunter Walk, a director of product management for the site, who called popular users like Mr. Buckley unintentional media companies. So spending full-time hours on your hobby equates to unintentional media companies? If I spent that much time working on a show, i dont think i would consider my efforts as unintentional in regards to being/becoming a so-called media company. A company is just some paperwork. On the other hand, the average person consumes more than 40 hours of TV and other media per week. So to take that time to produce instead of only consume that's a good start.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Veoh is dead
i dont think their is much getting around the fact that making good money with web video 'shows' is extremely difficult and frustrating. in a sense, technology advancements have helped and hindered. accessible tech equates to enormous competition, redundancy and noise. imagine if rocketboom launched today instead of in 2005ish. this is not to say that good independently produced content is rare. its just a really hard business as far as i can tell and why i never took the business of web video seriously. i knew that a few video tech services would succeed (i.e youtube) while most would fail. and of course some shows would have some meaningful success while most others would fizzle or at least reformat with subsequent attempts. its easy to try out ideas and fail rapidly and reinvent etc etc. in many cases, success will come with the sacrifice of making video that you dont really want to make as a creative. way back when, i made some cash doing wedding videos and shit like that but hated it. but if i wanted to make any money at all with video making, i'd have to consider such work their are various needs for video footage these days as its basically like a commodity. so you can find work but its more taking video as opposed to making video. and i've never been very interested in that dilution. thats just me (when it comes to video). if i was able to take significant time off and had some decent money and trustful talented people to collaborate with, i would love to make a 'film'. but we all know how difficult that is too. their is always hope. but typically the best way to have fun making video is to keep it a hobby. that hobby can generate a portfolio for you that could land you some interesting work one day. or at least you have some stuff to show the grandkids to repeat what our recent ancestors also used video for. video time capsules.

If the big media companies have any sense, they're wetting their pants in anticipation of proper multifunction media players and e-readers. Small independent media companies should be doing the same.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: iPod Nano shoots video
So I will give props to Apple for the iphoneit does make you wonder though why these other handset makers are having such a hard time making an Iphone cloneI mean it can't be that hard, can it? I think its a few issues. One is that they are unloading phones that were already mass produced or far along in the prototype/manufacturing phases. Discarding all of that would have been wasteful. The iPhone was a game changer. But since it was tethered to ATT for 3 years, this gave the rest of the market some breathing room to catch up. Now some phones came out to make you think that they were like the iPhone but those were cheap imitations that dont come close. But for marketing reasons, they had to release some stuff while they do serious RD on the actual devices that would compete with the iPhone. Some companies just wont be able to play this game not enough resources to properly commit to being the next best phone. But Nokia is certainly able to compete and it seems that this new Maemo5 OS and n900 device are worthy of cross-comparisons with Apple's offerings. The other issue is the tech and brand adoption. Apple iPhone is not without its flaws. I actually shouldn't speak to this too much since I don't own one. But I am aware of various hardware and software problems even with the latest 3.1 OS release. But it's Apple and in order to tarnish that brand, they would need to have a bunch of phones that explode and injure people. Nothing short of that will damage their reputation. The App Store is also a very solid market place since the phone is very popular. And Apple marketing is focusing on that big time - There's an app for that. - This messages tells people that the iPhone can do everything you want and is simple to use. Both basically true facts. At the same time, shit like this bugs me to no end - http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/apple_rejects_politically_charged_iphone_app.php Sull [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

N900 is phone puter. And isn't tied to any contract or carrier.
Funny how Nokia have never taken hold in the US the way they have in

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Videoblogging social network
Another observation... Remember when people had bandwidth concerns and feared using their web host do to costs? Well not only do web hosts provide ample warning and elegant pricing models, but I think 99.9% of video creators do not get the kind of traffic where it would ever matter. Likewise, the traffic you get from using youtube and any other lower-level video hosting services is unimpressive to say the least. This supports using your own web hosting together with archive.org or other open hosting services. This was certainly not helped by most video hosts trying to build social networking and community stuff into their own services, leading to the wrong sort of fragmentation, something that first showed up in terms of people complaining about people commenting on their videos on the hosts site rather than on their own blog. This also further supports using your own server/blog. Mind you even if the dust has settled Ive got less clues about where the net may be going than at any point in the past, I don't have anything against communities popping up. That's the freedom of the web. I hope that never changes. So a site like vloggerheadz is good to have out there. And anyone (Rupert) can attempt to setup new communities. The tools/services are out there to make it fairly easy. I'm less interested in startups doing it and maybe that era is coming to a close since it is a hard business and not easy to monetize. At the same time, things like mailing lists are living dinosaurs on the internet because they work well as messages are delivered TO users. This will always work well. A mailing list and a directory of user's blogs/websites and RSS/OPML can go a long way. so i tend to restrict myself to drooling over things like 3d accelerated css and multitouch devices and what that could mean for how people navigate the web in future. As for areas of interest beyond just videoblogging... Their are other mailing lists or message boards etc that exist. I'd love for people to share these resources as it's often hard to go out and find real good ones. That was why I had setup one and you may be interested in it. Some good stuff there. not loud. broad topics but video is still a large part of discussions. http://groups.google.com/group/artists-in-the-cloud/ Sull On Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 7:36 AM, elbowsofdeath st...@dvmachine.com wrote: Ive always been interested in stuff like this. For a few years I hoped to contribute towards making it happen for the vlogging community, but a combination of factors always put me off, ranging from technology limitations to not wanting to fragment this community (eg some people just want to stick with a straightforward mailing list), and also the idea that once video on the net really took off, communities may form around specific genres/subjects and an overall 'vlogging community' would be too broad and redundant. Once the likes of youtube, facebook and twitter got massive, I became quite interested in whether we could have a form of decentralised social networking where each individual had full control over their content and how/where its hosted, but somehow these fragments could be aggregated together in a very sophisticated way to create cohesive communities. The dominance of certain corporate entities, the lack of technical people to put the vast time in to make it happen for free, my own negativity, how quiet this group for for a few years means I havent bothered, but I remain rather interested in the subject. I expect things may evolve in this direction over the next decade, but Im not sure 'the videoblogging community' (whatever that is) will be the driving force, and the situation still remains complex due to the dominant players. There are still lots of walls out there, even though progress has been made with API's etc, specific platforms rule the waves, and pick'n'mixing features from different providers is not as doable as it should be. This was certainly not helped by most video hosts trying to build social networking and community stuff into their own services, leading to the wrong sort of fragmentation, something that first showed up in terms of people complaining about people commenting on their videos on the hosts site rather than on their own blog. At least the dust has settled from those giddy years when there was so much hype and hope from certain companies dreaming that they would dominate, and where community-based stuff ran out of momentum or people tried to cash in to get some return for their efforts, with fairly predictable results.

Re: [videoblogging] Videoblogging social network
I agree.
I also think mailing lists are quite sufficient for the discourse.
What I want is a bridge between RSS, Twitter, threaded discussions,
community hub and information archive.
A mailing list (google, yahoo etc) covers threaded discussions, community
and informative archive in my opinion.
as for twitter well are not most of us already on twitter? their are
other options though... yammer, status.net/identi.ca etc.
Also check out http://rsscloud.org which is a rebootstrap to create an RSS
based loosely connected distributed decentralized open real-time
micro-messaging system ;)
Another thought is the old PlanetPlanet Blog of blogs. We used to kick
around that idea. I at one time had SpreadTheMedia.org setup like that
using Drupal. The nice thing is... it encourages people to use their own
blogs!
One more thought.. A few years ago I was promoting a service that I thought
was cool - http://www.tangler.com.
It just did not catch on. But it's still out there and an option if you
want more real-time chatting with ability to share rich content.
And now Google Wave is coming and maybe that will be utilized for what you
want to see as well.
I'm not going near Ning or Facebook Groups.
Their has been some talk lately about DIY stuff. Some want to concentrate
on creating so using easy 3rd party services is a way to spend less time
dealing with the intricacies of using the interwebs independently. Thats a
good argument, esepcailly when you need every minute you can get to finish a
project.
On the other end, their is this drive to decentralize things like twitter
and to become less dependent on all these companies, giants and startups,
for handling much of what we do on the net.
I think that as some people are not going to care much about balancing the
internet so it's not just one huge corporate controlled environment
there will be those that do care and will pave the way for a stronger open
web that can be used with ease just as if it were a Twitter or a Facebook
etc.
Anyway, Rupert... good idea bringing this up at least. I may not agree with
all the reasons or decisions (if any) but it's a fun discussion to have.
And it is also why I chose to create another mailing list in January along
with a companion website... to cover a broader range of topics not
specifically focused on videoblogging but to leverage the great minds from
this group and beyond and have some meaningful discourse. Like any group,
there are quiet idle periods. But sometimes just setting up another mailing
list and website and a few other things can suffice.
Email is not dead. RSS is not dead. :)

great looking page, michael. i think this might bleed into the other discussion of multimedia ebooks. i dont like to use the term ebook but it seems to always be an umbrella term. the notion of getting outside the blog format is key here. that's what i've always been referring to when i've expressed interest in an ebook style of publishing as opposed to just a single video embedded in a blog post. isn't it amazing how we've had interactive quicktime for so many years yet today it just seems to be a forgotten technology? the tools for easily making interactive/immersive media on the web are lacking. i've seen tools and services catering to the lazy creator (automating music videos/slideshows etc) but not much for more intricate creations. please point me to the tools if they exist. the new iTunes LP feature is apparently based on web standards like html, css and javascript. i'm going to do some research to find out more. like if their is some sort of new standard used in conjunction with whatever authoring tool they have built. although, being Apple, i doubt this info will be easy to attain. though the LP feature of iTunes may not be groundbreaking, at least not in the context of a new Apple product/feature, it is important as an influential nudge for creators. this stuff, for me, goes back a decade+ when i used cutting edge software to package multimedia presentations that had much simpler authoring styles than more robust tools like Macromedia Director, LiveStage, MediaForge, mTropolis and several other multimedia authoring software available at the time. I used software from night kitchen called TK3 and media wrapping/packaging software from Throttlebox and others. And of course I used the web. it shouldn't be difficult to be creative with multimedia. HTML5 is certainly worth focusing on. But we still need intelligent authoring software and logical templates. Multimedia creations can be embedded in blogs. So this is not either or. It's about being able to embed an experience, not just a video.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: What Randy mann Said in the Videoconference last night.
i'd like to see a bit of experimentation in collaborative video assignments again. all it requires is a simple database of participants that can toggle on/off their availability. keep it simple, but could also apply interests, tags and other profile info. someone starts a project based on a theme and kicks it off with a short video.. 5-10 minutes maybe. this is the beginning of a multi-perspective documentary. each contributor hands off the film to someone they pick from the database of vloggers. you can get funky and allow a vlogger to fork the topic or even hand off to someone not in the database that they meet or know (can be added to the db at that point). you set some rules or guidelines for the project. people watch as its made and in the end, their is a stitched and possibly further edited final version that can be re-distributed and packaged etc. several of these can concurrently progress, creating a network. and this brings us back to the origins, doesnt it? and that would be a nice effect. their are no shortage of topics to delve into that bleed into the lives of people around the world.

Re: [videoblogging] vimeo is going to stop hosting source videos (starting August 1st)
I used to talk about how I saw your traditional web host services becoming more in tune with media creators needs and offering services to cater to this type of customer. I was predicting that Dreamhost would lead the way. Though they added a few related features... a few years later they still have not made any big strides. Likewise, I felt that *some* video hosting services, primarily blip.tv, would do the opposite and become more in tune with the regular web hosting customer who wanted to host/manage their domain and be able to publish their own 'pages', installed code etc etc. I felt that this would make sense as time goes on and as many of the free social video services would close up or change direction or just reduce their value to the more serious media creators (as opposed to disposable media creators). Recent activity in the social media sphere are showing that this should happen. Until it does, yeah I think more people will explore self-service building that larger footprint as jay sais. Leverage social mediums where/when appropriate. Today, a tweet with a link to your new content is probably more useful than just a post on youtube. Drive people to YOUR content/destination/brand... to YOU. blip has their pro service as a way to dabble in that lower-end monetization. but they obviously are focused on higher-end revenue possibilities. sull On Thu, Jul 2, 2009 at 9:48 AM, Jay dedmanjay.ded...@gmail.com wrote: Video creators trying to build a larger footprint will start hosting their own videos.

i see. ok. A codec agnostic implementation of the *video* tag is next to worthless. A simple javaScript libraryhttp://metavid.ucsc.edu/blog/2007/06/07/html5-video-the-future-is-now/could accomplish the same thing. Codec agnostic video tag represents no significant difference from the object/embed tags that we already have today. If web developers cant count on a given codec being supported the video tag is likely to go nowhere fast. If that approach is taken video will remain a second class web citizen wrapped up in proprietary encapsulations.

Re: [videoblogging] iphone 3gs video testing so far
yes pixelpipe is quite cool. i was experimenting with it a few weeks ago and suggested that a colleague use it (she often has to upload to many sites for marketing campaigns). on the other hand, i wish it could be more common to upload to one server/service and make that media available (allow permission) on other services. the social media web is very wasteful of bandwidth. eventually, this needs to change and be streamlined. emphasis on the 'allow permssion' ;) @sull On Tue, Jun 23, 2009 at 1:44 PM, Michael Verdi michaelve...@gmail.comwrote: Thanks for the pixelpipe tip.

Re: [videoblogging] iphone 3gs video testing so far
the iphone video seems fairly good for most casual things. certainly not a replacement for a dedicated camera like an HD xacti. and if it was as good, well the phone would probably heat up nice and quick and battery would drain and of course the disk space would also quickly fill up and then their is the shitty ATT network to upload the large HD video through. yeah, still a ways to go. personally, i'd be quite happy with a Networked/Internet-enabled Xacti more than a sexy phone. a camera that can upload to the cloud. and maybe a few simple messaging apps to hook into twitter, facebook with a touch screen. but the camera is core, not the phone or ability to run hundreds of apps. i'd be in the market for that. @sull [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Re: [videoblogging] Opera Unite, a game changer?
as long as it proves to be secure, i've always admired the idea. uses to have a firefox plugin that did this as well... and some other simple web server apps over the years. it does still rely on opera proxy servers but that's just for negotiating connections, not for file transfers. i'm interested in anything that brings up some user independence. i'm not against cloud services at all. i just like to see a balance. and stuff like Unite and littleshoot.org are on my radar these days. Google Wave as well... though that's going to be a more complicated install and not for normal users... but in the same vein of federated services. it's also interesting to me how many people pay for web hosting with often times enormous storage and bandwidth capacity but do not leverage it in any way except to make use of a domain name, maybe a wordpress blog and some miscel things. being that the vast majority of users will not need to be concerned with cost of surpassing limits (and usually their are safeguards now), most people could actually get away with serving their own media off their own hosted servers. how many 'natural visits' would you get on youtube or vimeo or blip anyway? if you can leverage broadcast mediums like twitter to spread a url, then that's prob good enough. as soon as i have time to re-organize my own digital chaos... i'm going to stop using 3rd party services for hosting, although i may leverage archive.org for backups and long-term storage. independence is the new free @sull On Tue, Jun 16, 2009 at 4:50 PM, Heath heathpa...@msn.com wrote: An interesting idea, being able to share files, photo's etc all within a web browser. It could have tremendous potentional for video...I am curious to see what happens.. http://tech.yahoo.com/news/nf/20090616/tc_nf/67188 Opera on Tuesday unveiled a technology that aims to disrupt the client-server computing model of the Web. Dubbed Opera Unite, the technology turns any computer into both a client and a server so it can interact with and serve content to other computers directly across the Web. Unite eliminates the need for third-party servers. Opera CEO John von Tetzchner said Opera is opening up the full potential of the Web to everyone. PCs decentralized computing from large mainframes, he said, and Opera Unite is taking the next step by decentralizing the cloud. With server capability in the browser, Web developers can create Web applications with profound ease, von Tetzchner said. Consumers have the flexibility to choose private and efficient ways of sharing information. We believe Opera Unite is one of our most significant innovations yet, because it changes forever the fundamental fabric of the Web. More Privacy, Open Standards Opera pointed to the benefits of Unite for both consumers and Web developers. For consumers, the company said Unite's cadre of services offers greater control of private data and makes it possible to share data with any device equipped with a modern Web browser. On the Web developer side, Opera Unite simplifies the equation. Since Opera Unite services are based on the same open Web standards as Web sites today, creating cutting-edge Web services is less complex. Opera said Unite makes creating a full Web service as easy as coding a Web page. What interests me about Opera Unite is how current technology and the social world are now interconnected, said Molly Holzschlag, an Opera Web evangelist. Using open standards, including HTML, CSS and JavaScript, developers and even enthusiasts with a little standards savvy can make their own Opera Unite service. Opera Unite allows people the ability to be imaginative with their skills and create a wide range of technical and social applications using the same open standards used today. Building Your Own Cloud Opera Unite is available in a special version of the Opera 10 desktop browser from Opera Labs. Opera Unite services include File Sharing, Web Server, Media Player, Photo Sharing, The Lounge, and Fridge. Most of those services are familiar to Web surfers, while The Lounge and Fridge are Opera's unique spin on Web-based communications. The Lounge is a self-contained chat service running on your computer. A user's friends can access the chat room via a direct link. That means they are not required to sign into any particular service. Depending on the user's privacy settings, only a generated password is needed in order for people to log in to the chat room. Fridge users can post a note on their friends' virtual refrigerators. When a user shares a direct link to their refrigerator, the users and their friends, family or colleagues can exchange notes securely and privately in real time. Michael Gartenberg, a vice president at Interpret, called Unite a powerful concept that could give it a unique position in the browser wars. The challenge, he said, is evangelizing developers to build applications on top of Unite

At the time of his death, Bennett was suffering from severe pain, and though he desperately needed hip replacement surgery, he was concerned that seeking help would send him spiraling into crippling debt. Despite the claims of health care industry apologists, many people like Bennett are beyond assistance. Struggling to secure a steady source of income early on, musicians are often forced to choose between their vocation and health insurance when they're young, and by the time they get old, they typically find themselves ineligible to receive coverage under any plan whatsoever. Stories like this underline the desperate need for health reform that, at the very least, includes a public option. The United States needs artists and innovators who work outside the confines of the corporate safety net, and we should not be forcing them to choose between their health and the art that enriches all of our lives. Pause for thought, and when a videoblogger I know tweeted that s/he didn't have health insurance, I thought about how many people I know on this list, including myself, who don't have coverage at the moment. I don't want to get into political discussion about healthcare, but I was wondering if anyone out there knows if there's a way under the current system for people like us to bundle together and get lower rates on health insurance, or if there's any truly good, truly economical policy that freelancers/artists can buy? There's plenty of other places to discuss policy, but I just wanted to throw this out there in case there was a way a bunch of vloggers got together to get covered.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: work around for no fire wire?
Yes, they are both right. Both can use one system successfully for years. I'd bet both can make the opposing system work well for them for years as well. It's largely preference, culture and comfort. I was comfortable on my custom built PC video workstation but was open to macs as I used them in school. I like both and dislike both. My only point was that one is more hyped and stylish and cool and usually more expensive than the other. And the security difference is only based on mass of adoption of one over the other, not some superior tech... just a nice convenience for marketing. speaking of marketing, i think apple has been insulting to people who dont use macs in their user portrayals. Hence the 'cool people use macs' spin. microsoft is finally starting to do a good job countering that in their commercials and doing it in a seemingly less biased manner. and yes i am sour after spending so much money on my macbookpro... that my power adapter burned itself out, my battery stopped charging, my replacement battery exploded, i am constantly electrically shocked, my blood circulation is cutoff due to hard edges near my wrists, i've seen the frozen rainbow of death many times, apple software is often unintuitive-buggy-bloated, i have keys sticking and squeaking, and a blown speaker and most osx features/software i end up not needing/using. christ, i even had to buy quicktime pro which should be included for free by now. no, apple macs are not perfect. mine demonstrates that well. i've had better luck with an assortment of PCs. and i'm looking forward to testing windows7 and/or some linux flavors again. All these latest Operating Systems are pretty slick so apple no long has a big edge. and since apple hardware is really nothing special from china i'm happy to look elsewhere once the time is right or this thing just out-right dies on me. sull On Sun, Apr 19, 2009 at 12:39 PM, Milt Lee m...@realrez.com wrote: Heath heathpa...@... wrote: what can I say, it works for me, Sony Vegas and Windows, for me a match made in heaven lolAnd I gave up on the Bengals a while ago...

since this is the case, hopefully it will balance itself out where people like us dont pay for tv, only internet. so if at the end of the day i'm still paying between $30-$70 a month for what amounts to digital media consumption and communication, then so be it. it will be closer to a la carte programming which is the future. they cannot just strangle their customers with outragious fees that nobody can afford. they will have serious customer relation nightmare if they try anything too drastic in these times. but it does speak to the proccess of elimination. elimination of competing businesses. we are fast becoming a world of few controllers, for better or worse remains to be seen and depends on who you ask. bandwidth is the blood of culture today. it's up there with air and water. we are addicted to the network. we are no longer concerned about privacy as much as we are about sharing our public stream of consiousness. or something like that. sull On Fri, Apr 10, 2009 at 5:52 PM, Jay dedman jay.ded...@gmail.com wrote: On Fri, Apr 10, 2009 at 5:20 PM, Rupert rup...@fatgirlinohio.orgrupert%40fatgirlinohio.org wrote: Yes, it's true that it's limited in the UK.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: the coming Broadband limit?
good checks and balances are always needed. i think my point is that however they approach the billing, they need to have prices be somewhat reasonable with the times and demands of customers. so instead of saving money by cancelling tv, you look at it as eliminating the service that doesnt give you the level of granular on-demand media that you prefer. it's cheaper until this becomes a popular consumer decision, then they will modify their service offering to assure that ALL customers are paying within a price bracket no matter who you are. That price bracket may fluctuate but it has to be within reason I think. they run the risk of controversy if say, the cost of a households digital utility bill suddenly costs more than all other utility bills. maybe in time, it will. take a look at what you pay for electricity, heat, water. we are becoming almost as dependent on our bandwidth as we are on other utilities. they also dont want people to start sharing bandwidth with neighbors via wireless networking. increased prices will cause consumers to do that and/or start using public bandwidth more often or just cut back on their bandwidth usage... which lets face it... nobody really wants. those ads need impressions. so yes, the potential exists to have our bandwidth cost us more. it always existed. it's all a digital pipe and the content and services that use it are getting merged. for most of my adult life, i've spent between $40 and $100 for tv/internet. if it gets to the point that i am charged $150 for doing what i normally do... and this could happen since i work from home and occasionally have to transfer large work related files... but if it gets to that point, i'll first look into bandwidth saving tech and then cut back on any unnecessary transfers and then start demanding that some services be excluded from bandwdth montoring like my roku box for netflix and amazon vod. i would hope that back-end deals would be made between these companies to exclude transfers from certain devices/services i see that as a possibility in order to sustain customer loyalty on all fronts. beyond all that... maybe we will all go offline and bird watch more often ;) sull On Fri, Apr 10, 2009 at 10:00 PM, Jay dedman jay.ded...@gmail.com wrote: OK $150 a month for 'virtually unlimited' seems a tad pricey.

Hmmmattention grabbing but not hysterical. Currentlya single HD show is usually about 750MB. Almost a gig. The size of files will only increase as quality gets better.

If we are thinking that in the near future people will be watching many hours of high-def TV via the internet every day, then there are capacity issues which someone will have to pay for. I never heard what happened to the battle in the UK between the ISPs and the BBC who were using peer2peer to make TV shows available to customers, thus saddling the ISPs with a greater bandwidth bill, causing them to moan, All I know is that viewers have certainly embraced downloading TV shows legitimately via the net here, and so far there has not been any substantial change to ISP price structure or quality of service as a result. Until broadband providers give proof that the networks are overloaded, I think this argument is specious. The strategy is to squeeze more profit out of broadband, especially if people continue to cancel their cable TV subscriptions because they are just pulling down the shows they want to watch. Fair enough. These companies are private and can charge 10 per GB if they want. But let's all be very aware of the truth behind the decisions, so consumers can make clear choices. This also allows us as voters to make sure government is not giving unfair monopolies to private companies who are squeezing every cent out of their customers.

Re: [videoblogging] YouTube will lose half a billion dollars this year

Credit Suisse analyst says YouTube will cost Google $470m. Bandwidth costs them $360m, content rights cost them $252m, but sales from advertising are only $240m (um, only). Oops. If YouTube and Google can't make it work, how the hell is anybody else supposed to? Google is actually hurting the whole online video market by providing video as a free 'loss leader'? While they can afford to prop up YouTube's failed business model by subsidizing their massive losses to the tune of half a billion a year, how can anybody else innovate sensible revenue models for online video? The Free internet is a massive illusion. http://tinyurl.com/c2akgl *YouTube set to lose $470M; most ad spots going unsold* According to a Credit Suisse analyst, the most popular video Web site owned by the richest Web site Google will lose $470 million this year because it sells advertising only on a fraction of its pages. For a site that generates as much online traffic as YouTube, it would seem a no-brainer that profit is streaming in. But according to a Credit Suisse analyst, the most popular video Web site owned by the richest Web site Google will lose $470 million this year because it sells advertising only on a fraction of its pages. YouTube sells ads on less than 3 percent of the Web pages that could carry commercial messages, analyst Spencer Wang wrote Friday in a note to clients. To boost that percentage, Google needs to standardize ad formats and better demonstrate that ads on YouTube help sell products, he wrote. Weakness at YouTube led Wang to cut his 2009 profit estimate for Google to $4.68 a share from $4.83, according to the report. Google stock has fallen more than a third from its 52-week high last May, hurt by slowing growth in the online-ad market and by the decline in the broader stock market. Despite the growth of YouTube's user base, there is little evidence to suggest Google has been able to materially monetize this usage, Wang wrote. In light of the current ad recession, experimental budgets are being trimmed. YouTube's sales will rise about 20 percent to $240.9 million this year, Wang estimated. The company may spend $360.4 million for bandwidth to distribute its video, and $252.9 million to pay content owners for the rights to show their material, he wrote. Yahoo!

Re: [videoblogging] REPLY: Promoting the .mov option online
well, now you also have adobe f4v using h264 codec.

Because I've seen situations where .flv is both better quality AND smaller file size than H.264 (using the same parameters). For example, some of the videos I post are filmed from the back of a moving Vespa. With the background changing constantly and quickly, I make use of the auto keyframe feature in Sorenson Squeeze which inserts keyframes when needed rather than simply at a fixed interval. With that feature turned on, my (On2 VP6) .flv video is both better quality and smaller file size than the equivalent video in H.264.

As video content providers our material is taken by third parties and used for financial gain by that third party. The site you upload to may be a free site and you can elect to be there or not, but each site sells itself as the place to be and gives itself such importance as to come across as necessary to video content providers. That is the nature of the business. Yet, the content providers are not only rarely, fairly compensated, but are sometimes shown a complete lack of respect by those sites. They want what you have so they can make money, but because everyone and their brother has a video camera and will send video, they feel they don't need to give you any extra or special treatment just because you make professional content. They can arbitrarily remove your content and not explain or not even investigate any claims. Here we are providing content, not getting paid, or being paid very little and are at the mercy of some sites that just don't care. I know, I know, don't use those sites. But, if those sites are where your target audience is, then what? Do video content providers have rights? Do we have rights if a third party uses our material to bring in income?
