Re: [videoblogging] Re: 2010 the year of the flip?
Yup, if you're used to video as it's existed for past X number of years (especially consumer video) is nothing at all like the Red. It's a digital cinema camera and if you know the world of film cameras, you may love it. If you know the world of video, well, there's a steep learning curve. A lot of the Red operation can require 2 people, and I don't think there are many people buying them nowadays to play around with though. Maybe the Red Scarlet when it comes out... Pete elbowsofdeath wrote: Broadly speaking Red make cameras that are the digital equivalent to film cameras used in cinematography. They want to set a new standard for affordable high-spec modular cameras. Bt thats affordable compared to equivalents in that high end of the marketplace, their stuff is considerably more expensive than the sort of video cameras vloggers and others are likely to come across. Results can be stunning but the workflow and skills required to operate the camera are quite a bit different to what people are used to from video cameras, its far more like being a camera operator for cinema, which is something I know very little about but from what I understand its not exactly 'point and shoot'.

Re: [videoblogging] Copyright Music?
So just to be clear... you guys are all cool with someone (oh, I dunno, let's say a musician) taking your video, and using it in any way they like, for whatever purpose they choose, even if you don't agree with it, and even if you have not released it under a sharing license? So if a multinational corporation uses your video and makes money from it, you're OK with that? If a huge record label uses it as they please, it's all good? I'm a huge supporter of Creative Commons, but I'm also respectful of people's work and allowing them to choose how they share it/how it is used, and not just being a jerk and taking it. I'd expect all creatives to think in a similar way, but sadly, I'm always amazed by people who work hard in one craft (let's say video) are so willing to take what someone else has created (let's say a musician) and do what they please with it without permission, or attribution, or anything else.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Slow HD editing
From what I know of RED workflow, you work on smaller proxy files, and then with the final rendering, the hi-res versions are used. This makes editing *much* faster, as we've just learned... Here's some related info on FCP and proxy editing: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/8/1057975 Pete Jay dedman wrote: YOU CAN edit MP4 files directly on ordinary hardware! I can film my blog in HD 1280x720 30fps MP4 on my Xacti HD1010 and copy the MP4 files directly to my drive and drop straight into the timeline in VS Pro X2 and trim and edit without any conversion or other messing around. Then just hit the output option which renders MPEG2 really quickly, and then I convert to MP4 using whatever standalone program. congrats on finding that solution. I wonder if this trick extends to other editing programs. Ive never seen smart proxy on FCP. Jay [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
Re: [videoblogging] Keeping tapes
A few years back I tried really hard to get all the old bands I could find to release their work under an open license, Creative Commons, etc. but most of the people didn't understand that. So now I'm mostly feeding files to another guy, who is locating band members (Facebook is useful for this) to get permission. In many cases band give permission because they don't even have digital copies! The guy who hosts the site is ready and willing to pull down any files if an old band member decides he doesn't want the stuff published. Luckily, we're all pretty much a bunch of friends and cohorts who lost touch with each other, so we're hoping it won't be an issue. Anything I've been involved with I get permission from others to apply a proper license.

Re: [videoblogging] FLV: how to change the metadata on a mac
David Terranova wrote: This actually brings me on to another point. I’ve been having all sorts of problems when using public players (that aren’t my own) to play my anamorphic 16:9 FLV videos. When uploading to blip.tv, for example, the widescreen video would be squashed into a square (1:1). After a lot of fiddling around it turns out that my Sorenson Squeeze is setting the metadata of the flv incorrectly: the width is correct, but the height is always the same as the width, which explains why all the players are squashing my videos into squares. Bear in mind that it’s Squeeze is doing this only with anamorphic formats. Now, apparently there’s a way to edit the metadata of an flv after it has been compressed, but the only ways to do this are by using a windows machine.

I rarely buy things outside of the necessities of food/gas/rent/etc. I buy a new computer every 5+ years. I don't eat out much. I am the anti-consumer. Which makes it hard to monetize the things I love, because many of them can't be purchased with dollars. Pete

[videoblogging] BarCampMilwaukee2 - Oct 13/14, 2007
Just taking a break from the normal Videoblogging talk. :) BarCampMilwaukee2 is happening on Oct 13/14, 2007 at Bucketworks in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/235252/ I'd like to invite all videobloggers to show up and show them how it's done... with video! Schlomo says he'll be there. Anyone else? From Chicago? Take the train, we'll send someone to pick you up. Last year I did a session on videoblogging, but as it was the last session on Sunday afternoon, only 3 people attended. Anyone want to do a videoblogging session? (I'm also trying to pull together some sort of mini-video fest idea where you would be given a theme at the start of the event, and have until 10PM to put something together and show it on the big screen.)

How do they foist them on you? Is someone forcing you to install and use a CMS? Years ago everyone thought that a CMS was a solution to a successful and easy to use web site, but it's just a small piece of the puzzle. I cannot TELL you how many times I've had someone foist drupal, plone or some other CMS on me when all I needed was a PBwiki or a wordpress install. Some people/organizations need a hell of a lot more than a wiki or blogging software... 99.99% of people don't want or need a big swiss army knife of a CMS system. They need the single tool they need and that's it. I guess I fit into that 0.01%... It's absolutely nothing persoanl with drupal... I actually want drupal and plone and all those other great CMS to succeed... but unless you have a developer on call 24x7 drupal is not for the every user. And some people do have a developer on-call 24x7... I've worked with a lot of companies that would have probably been better off hiring someone to install, customize support Drupal, but instead either had one guy build something in-house that did 10% of what Drupal did (and had just one person knowing the undocumented code) or spent over a million on some portal solution that everyone constantly complains about.

So its a completely closed system. No one else can sell copy-protected files for the iPod. You could sell non-DRM MP3 files, but often that is not secure enough for major companies to get on board with. So, it creates a monopoly. This is the kind of practice that people railed against Microsoft for engaging in only a few short years ago. Sadly, we sit between a rock and a hard place. Apple made it easy to buy audio, and (fairly) easy to remove the DRM from that audio, but the system is still (somewhat) closed. Of course Apple is sort of between a rock and a hard place as well, since they need to please the record companies, and their own iTunes/iPod customers. I don't think there are any easy answers. Of course, as someone mentioned, you can easily purchase audio from the iTMS, burn it to an 'audio' cd and then rip from there. Technically, this works well, legally, they now say it's breaking the law (even though it was previously legal.) Suxors for all of us. Where do we fit in?

Re: [videoblogging] wordpress question
Richard Show wrote: In wordpress, is it possible to make a post that will go in a category, but not on the main page? Example: I have a category called trains and I have a feed associated with that category. I create a post about trains and I want people who subscribe to my trains category to retrieve it via that feed, but I don't want people, who subscribe to the general wordpress feed to retrieve it. (Also, I don't want people who visit the main page, rather than that category's page to see it). This can be done. I'm not sure, but the last time I saw this question, the answer was to hack at a few files that deal with 'the loop' (index.php, wp-rss2.php, etc) so that they excluded the id of the category in question.

Re: [videoblogging] ping and ping back?
Joshua Kinberg wrote: Here's a good explanation on Trackbacks and Pingbacks: http://codex.wordpress.org/Introduction_to_Blogging#Trackbacks They're very similar but slightly different in their technical implementation. The easiest way to describe the concept is remote comments. Sometimes you want to comment on a post that someone else wrote, but you'd rather write the comment on your own blog. Trackbacks and Pingbacks notify the original author that you've written a comment and it exists on your own site. The notification process also allows your remote comments to be included in the comments section of the original blog post. One note in regards to WordPress... If you set it to accept pingbacks, you may get pingbacks spam and I know that in older versions, there was no approval for pingbacks like there was for comments.

Michael Verdi wrote: - I come at this as an artist who very much respects people's right to get paid for their work and on the other hand I also believe that by contributing to and participating in culture (popular and otherwise) you give up total control over your work. A few years ago I made a short film about my brother and I playing Star Trek as kids (here's the link all you fellow Star Trek nerds: http://www.michaelverdi.com/video/mjplaystartrek.mov). I wrote to Paramount asking for the right to use the tricorder and transporter sounds. What I got back from them was a letter explaining how I could not use (with no option to license for a fee) those sounds along with the words Spock, Enterprise or Phaser. I just think that's complete bullshit. We didn't play Star Voyages as kids or run around with Quadcorders or something. It was Star Trek. Those are my memories and this film is my way of remembering. I don't really give a shit if you've trademarked that stuff - it's part of the culture and they've benefited from that by both ripping lots of others off in the ideas behind it and in the billions of dollars they've made because of it. Might be of interest... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek%2C_fan_made_productions Paramount Pictures and its licensees are the only organizations legally allowed to create any *commercial* products with the name and trademark Star Trek.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Top Ten Vlogging Mistakes
Kitka wrote: Thanks Paul, I agree with you too. In the media world, there IS such a thing as a cease and desist. I was talking with someone from the CBC the other day (more about this subject at a later date) and he told me about how someone was compiling a Top 100 songs list for a major network he said that they got a cease and desist order from Leonard Cohen (or some boring musician like that) and they couldn't use him in the FLATTERING Top 100 show they were making. Makes perfect sense to me. If Leonard Cohen wants to control how his work is used, he should have that choice. Whether the show was flattering or critical doesn't matter. Others may see this differently, but it's ultimately about artists being able to control how their work is used. Similarly, videobloggers aren't going to instantly get sued for using copywritten music/content... they will get a cease and desist order and if they do not comply, they will then be fined or get a court order. I think it is incorrect to say 'copywritten' as a work you create has your copyright assigned to it. How you choose that work to be used is different from this. The music I can get from Magnatune still has a copyright held by the artist, but the *license* allows me to use it in certain ways. That said, stop worrying so much about it. As long as we all know the consequences, we can remove certain files from the Internet if they are problematic. I mean, it's not like you can just call up U2 and ask if you can use their music! Well, some of us are big believers in things like Creative Commons, which allow an artist to easily specify how their work can be used. U2 is a lost cause, they don't even have the rights to their music. (Look up Negativland for more on that one!) The hope is that from this point on, artists will realize they *can* have control of their art, and how it is used, and in 10 years, or 20, or whatever, the world of what you can legally/safely use is quite different. It's already happening, but we can help make it happen. Personally, I wouldn't use copyrighted material if I were making money off of it, but if it's all in good fun, I think it's fair to use it. (I don't see many people complaining about the use of the Brokeback Mountain song with all the homages like Brokeback to the Future, etc.!) Again, it *is* ok to use copyrighted material, as long as you have the rights to do so. Getting those right can sometimes prove difficult. (See above.) Of course there is the issue of what is commercial as well. Are you making money from ads on your site? Affiliate programs? PayPal donation links? Who decides what making money consists of? (The courts?) As for complaining about people using the music from Brokeback mountain without permission (unless it's fair use ala parody, etc.) just point me at them, and I'll complain! ;) The reason I think all of this stuff is important is that I want to see videoblogging grow and grow, and pretty much explode, and I want to see it done without violating the rights of artists. I want to see it done in a way that steps around all that is wrong with the RIAA and MPAA and those that would see us crushed beneath their wheels (Whew, rant mode off...)

The goal with CC is (among other things) to have a shared set of licenses, making it *easy* for people to see exactly what they can and cannot do with your content. If everyone went and wrote up a usage page saying this is CC licensed, but it's CC licensed under this interpretation I've written below we would be back to square one. Use a CC license if you agree with what the license says. If not don't say CC licensed... in my interpretation, just write up guidelines without mentioning Creative Commons. If you look at what is listed for Attribution it says: You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ But the problem is, almost no author/licensor specify anything in this regard. So how are you supposed to do what they ask? That's why I outlined the attribution part. As for the commercial, bit.

I was attempting to define what I consider commercial use so that you would know if I had a problem with what you planned to do. Even the CC folks don't seem to be sure what NonCommercial means: So the topic of what constitutes a noncommercial use under those Creative Commons licenses that contain the NonCommercial license option has been a perennial source of debate over the years http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/5752 I think I worded it badly when I wrote: you might as well outline what you think it means in this case.

Here's a taste of them: http://opensource.org/licenses/ Open Source is actually pretty tricky and I think a lot of people throw the term around to mean something more like the culture of openness, of which open source licensing may be a part of but not the entire thing. I think CC becomes confusing due to a great part to the NonCommercial clause. With open-source, I'm free (freedom!) to use GPL software for any commercial purposes, *including* selling it to whoever wants to buy it, as long as I make the source available and grant the same rights that I was granted. Right? (Not to say that open-source licenses are drop-dead simple to understand, because they are not.) Pete -- http://tinkernet.org/ videoblog for the future... Yahoo!

Re: [videoblogging] Mac mini, videobloging (was Re: May events)
David Howell wrote: No new video iPod. A new Mac Mini and a iPod Boom-box were announced today though. Which brings up the question, is this a big step in video aggregation? If I've read it right, I can connect a Mac mini to my TV, and then use iTunes on any Mac on my home network to subscribe to videoblogs, and then watch them on my TV. Easily. Granted, this takes the blogging out of videoblogging made possible by FireAnt and other (better!) video aggregators, but this seems to pull it all together in an easy to use package. Thoughts?

If I didn't mention it before I work for DivX. Will videobloggers still be given free bandwidth and hosting even if they don't utilize the DiVX format in any way?

Longevity is the kind of thing that concerns the middle-aged rather than the teenagers who form the backbone of a service like MySpace. So true... I've been working on a site about the history of the local music scene, and in going through old tapes, zines and flyers, it's often difficult to determine what year it was from. I'm guilty of this as well. A band I was in recorded some material, and when digitizing it, I had to guess on the year it was recorded. I think that running a weblog for over 8 years that still has the posts from the beginning available online has reinforced this idea for me. I want the things I make to stick around, if for no one else, than for myself. Pete -- http://tinkernet.org/ videoblog for the future... Yahoo!

I expect my blog to document my life. As a Myspace-like sites, it seems more about current interactions...then on to the next online space. As mentioned Friendster was 'teh kewl' and fell out of favor, and now MySpace is the happening thing. This will probably (hopefully!) change. As for Momentshowing, or any weblog/videoblog hosted on a server fully controlled by the person creating it, we can hope it will stick around for at least the lifetime of the creator, as long as the server bill gets paid. Of course you can always upload to Ourmedia/archive.org as well, so it'll (in theory) be around even after you die. Pete -- http://tinkernet.org/ videoblog for the future... Yahoo!
