Crossroads Film Festival announces early Christmas present!
We've extended the mail-in entry deadline to January 20, 2007
postmark and are allowing pre-screen on the web by January 4, 2007

I'm in the same boat as you. I often tap the full screen button
when viewing video on line. In my aggregator on the Pocket PC, the
default size can be chosen by the user and I chose full screen.

Still? Wow. I'm amazed, too. If you are a Mississippi Vlogger, let's

It is rather depressing. All of us care about rebuilding, and my
guess is that those directly involved are busy doing it rather than
documenting it. Katrina has changed the States' focus for

My theory is that H.264 takes up more battery power for a given
quality level. I know that up until recently, Pocket PCs have had
difficulty playing high-bitrate H.264. And even the iPod maximum
bitrate playback is lower for H.264 than it is for 3ivx, for
example. With 30G or 60G
I've written before about this. I think we may be using the wrong
metric for mobile video with the coming of H.264. My theory is that
file size is no longer supreme. H.264 takes more processing power to
decode. And processing power generally means less battery life

I took my cue from some on the videoblogging list that suggest a
HUGE part of videoblogging is about interaction. And I took this
to mean, first, commenting.
So what does an aggregator developer do? Seek out how to implement
this very important aspect of blogging in general.

I just watched the videos. Great screencasts! Just a few notes after
viewing them:
In FCP and iMovie, the presenter recommended a key frame every 5
frames. At 15fps, this is a key frame every 333 milliseconds or 3
per second. It seems to me having a key

Other people seem to believe that the H.264 quality is good, but my
guess is they are comparing the quality per filesize or bitrate. It
seems the quality per decoding or MHz performance is either equal
or below other encoders: just my guess based on my experience
playing back on a Pocket PC.
I disagree. I believe it was an Open Media Summit, not an

What is missing from that list on LifeHacker is downloading
videoblogs directly to your Pocket PC. With an Axim x50v/x51v it is
ultra easy because it includes WiFi. No need to connect to a
computer. With FeederReader aggregator and TCPMP player combo,
it's very hard to beat a Pocket PC.

Not sure about FireANT, but with FeederReader on the Pocket PC, you
can include text and links in the description element of RSS and it
will appear when the user presses the go to notes icon.

This is all great. It will open up videoblogging to a lot more
consumers.
Am I sounding like a broken record? Sorry! You can do this today
with a Pocket PC and FeederReader. The Dell Axim x50v and x51v have

From everything I've heard and read, Gena is exactly right: if you

From my intense investigations, the thing that sets the mini-cams

sure)

The problem I think has two parts. Both take time for developers to
determine the individual advantage. Servers will improve (or create)
support for BitTorrent when their direct downloads exceed their pain
threshhold. The number of clients that support BitTorrent will
increase as the number of
We need more portable videoblog/videocast consumption devices, I agree!

Is anyone using or considering using any P2P file-sharing protocols
besides BitTorrent for your videocast? In particular Gnutella2.

Does anyone have any opinions on the Mustek DV3000? Or similar video
camera under US$150 ?
I'm thinking of using it for taking video mounted on a bicycle as well
as handing it out to family members to take video and upload to vlog
for a family-only videoblog.
Things I like? AA Batteries,
TCPMP is the program that can handle most all formats. I would
certainly give it a try. I use it almost exclusively. For

H.264 will probably have ubiquity soon, but I don't believe it is
quite universal yet. Saving as Quicktime is not very specific, I
think. The big question is what audio and video codec do you want to
use. For this, I would see (pun intended) the Pocket PC and Palm
users as the limiting
