[videoblogging] Is Flash the answer?
Ok, so I am not an expert on technologies and I may sound like a moron when posting this question, but anyway. I've been reading about the dilema with delivering video content for all platforms (Apple vs. Microsoft) and saw some mentioning of Flash as a technology that being so worldwide used could be the one of the answer to the problem. I am a web designer and I've been working with Flash since versiion 2.0. The version I am using now is MX 2004 and I have done some video embeding in my movies to test how they would work. I have imported mov into flash and done some design work to export it again as a QT mov. (see example here: http://blip.tv/uploadedFiles/Escorial-SquaredMedia118.mov or here: http://ia300843.eu.archive.org/2/items/Shapes_1/shapes.mov )I kind of liked it and found it not too difficult but never put too much attention on it... until now that I am so into vlog. I did some testing embedding a mov into an fla, streaming and linked outside but didn't go farther than that. Anybody has some info about this? Is it flash the answer? Thanks guys. Escorial Yahoo!

I think you have a good point Josh, I know flash, it is my profession but I consider myself an average user and average vlogger who would not want to go through too many hours of painfull setting up my movies in flash.

Let's be hones most of us out there are average users, we get scared when we hear simple things like mp4 and mov and we don't know the differences if any... and we really don't want to know.

Ey guys, I saw the problem with Blogger yesterday too. It is the second time since I started videoblogging that they had big problems. I wonder if it is because of the huge amount of people who are signing up every day. So, that made me think if I should try to look for another services, even if I have to pay a bit for it. Blogger is awesome considering it is free, but at the same time that gives them the right hand and if you have any problem (complain) there is not much you can do about it. I thought abouy Typepad?. Do any of you know another service? Do you guys host your own video blogs? How do u do that? Thanks a bunch. This is my first posting so I hope I am doing it right. Escorial Yahoo!

I want people to see it, I want to share it with them, I want to know what they think... is that wrong?.

That is a figure that gives me the shivers. One of the problems with getting connected to viewers is getting them to watch in the first place. I put up a vlog that was an exquisite mixture of people lighting each others candles in church while classical flute music played. I'm not even a classical music fan and I've always considered that footage to be among the best I ever shot. (It was filmed in 1991.) I labeled it Candlelight, Music and Lost Love. The text didn't help since I described it as a mass funeral music video. It got only 11 views in three or four days. Other footage from the same memorial service for people with AIDS Every Balloon is A person. Lost Traditions of mourning got about 50 views the first day. That kept it around #6 on Blip's most watched list all day Friday, World AIDS Day. Then, for reasons I don't understand, it got over a hundred hits the next day and quickly hit 200 views. I think some of these videos get passed around to interested groups. My Waging War on Death featured the founder of The Immortality Institute just giving the introductory address at the first Immortalist Conference in Atlanta. It got over a hundred hits a day and now has gotten 600 or 700 hits which makes it my most successful video. I know that was passed around in Longevity Newsletters, Transhumanist discussion lists, etc. I think you slowly build name recognition through your vlogs. People come to know what your stuff is like. Then they either watch or just skip you when they see you have a new vlog. Having a consistent theme helps also. Drinking With Bob comes to mind. You see that title and his subject. You know you're going to get a minute and half rant on the subject. He is very widely watched. He has a perfect formula. I have forty or fifty hours of great video material I filmed all summer at street fairs. Before I got into vlogging, I thought I would do a documentary on street fairs and people who set up booths to sell art, merchandise or ideas. The subject matter is very varied. However, I'm thinking about starting a series of vlogs with the subject matter (Selling Sunglass) followed with the line Street Fair Project. After about ten or twelve vlogs, I should be able to tell if the theme street fair project has gathered a following.

I know exactly what you mean. I find that the episodes of our show (Chasing Windmills) that we are in love with rarely get the attention that our lesser episodes get. This always produces a strange feeling. The night
