[videoblogging] anniversaries and awards [nsfw]
Hi gang, Today is my fifth anniversary of putting video on a blog at swordfight.org. Somehow, that original videoblog still exists ~ http://swordfight.org/video This week also marks the fifth anniversary of Hot Action, a blog of erotic non-fiction and photographs that would probably be of interest to very few people on this list. I've also been videoblogging there for a while. NSFW: http://hotaction.ca Hot Action has been nominated in a few categories for Dirtyspoke's 2006 Sexblog Awards, including Sexiest Sexblogger alongside our very own Violet Blue. The voting closes tonight at midnight EST. If you could spare a moment to vote, I'd appreciate it ~ http://dirtyspoke.com/2007/01/16/blog-awards/ Warmest regards, your pal, Philip. -- http://swordfight.org http://hotaction.ca http://destroyhotaction.com
Re: [videoblogging] Audio too quiet when I use mono.
Hi Rhett -- Sounds like phase cancellation to me. Simply put, when the polarity is reversed on one channel of a stereo recording, and the recording is summed to mono, then the peaks of one waveform coincide with the valleys of the other waveform and they wind up cancelling each other out. The result is a drastically quieter signal, maybe even silence, depending on the waveforms of the source material. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destructive_interference The technically correct solution would involve using an audio editor to invert the polarity on one of your stereo channels, then recombining these channels into a new mono file. An even quicker solution that would probably work for you in this case would be to simply isolate one of your stereo channels, and use that channel by itself as your mono mix. If you don't have access to fancy editing software, you can use Audacity, which is freeware. Open your source stereo file in Audacity; click the down arrow and select Split Stereo Track; click the X on one of the resulting tracks to delete it; click the down arrow on the remaining track and select Mono. Export that file, and you're done. If phase cancellation is indeed the culprit, the fault is most likely with whatever adapter you are using to go from XLR to 1/8. XLR cables are meant to be used as mono sources. They send normal- and inverted-polarity signals along two of their three pins (using phase cancellation as a tool to lessen induced noise). Your 1/8 adapter then thinks these signals represent the two channels of a stereo sound... which is very much not the case! Hope this helps. -- xo philip http://swordfight.org On 27-Jan-07, at 10:54 PM, J.

I bought us a new mic to use on the road...it's a handheld Shure that uses an XLR input. I step that down to the 1/8 plug on the camera. The audio sounds beautiful in the can and any cut I make of it that has the audio in stereo also sounds great. The moment I ask Adobe Premiere Elements or QuicktimePro to make a mono version of the video, the audio using that specific microphone becomes too quiet to hear. I don't want to put out a stereo version because it'll make the file size pretty big, but the audio for that microphone is borderline silent unless I keep it in stereo!

Re: [videoblogging] how to make a mashup with a youtube video
Hi Lucas - There are two websites that come in handy if you want to mashup videos from YouTube ~ http://keepvid.com will give you a download link so you can rip the .flv file from YouTube to your desktop. I have the Keep It link right onto my bookmarks bar and it gets a bit of use. http://perian.org is the free perian component that lets you play the .flv file within QuickTime. Once you have perian installed, you can import your .flv files straight into iMovie like you would with any QuickTime file. Files ripped from YouTube will tend to have that grainy crappy quality. Often the audio and video is slightly out-of-sync for some reason, but if you use command-J in iMovie it will extract the audio from the video file. You can usually slide the waveform around and get the sound back in sync again. That should get you started at least. -- xo philip http://swordfight.org On 26-Jan-07, at 9:39 PM, Lucas Gonze wrote: Hey folks, I have this idea to make a mashup with this YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=901D-ZyP9Nk My idea is to play along on guitar, shoot video of myself playing along, and then make a composite video with the original next to the new thing.

My question to you is: What amount of subscribers do you feel comfortable with? Of course, if you make a Show (insert sarcastic tone here), you only want more and more subscribers. But if you make a so-called personal videoblog, suddenly having 3000 subscribers might be a very scary thing. Me, I know that the amount of people who have technically subscribed to my feed is about 120. I must admit that even that number makes me feel the goosebumps sometimes. (Ok, I have a history of receiving nasty emails referring to videos I made as well, so I guess my personal paranoia is linked to that). If you are an individual who just make videos because you want to connect with others - do you sometimes feel that someone invide your privacy? If they leave nasty comments? Of course, many of the same issues dealing with text blogging or the internet itself applies to the videoblog. Things like: If you don't want certain people to find it, don't put it out there. That's simple. But still, we want to connect. Reach out. Am I nuts for feeling uncomfortable about the anonymous people lurking, watching my videos of ? Or does anyone else feel the same?

[videoblogging] Anyone using GarageBand?
I've written a bunch of pod-safe music that I was going to upload in mp3 format for anyone to use in videoblogs. Then I had the idea to just upload the actual GarageBand sessions. If you use a Mac this has some advantages. Since it's only MIDI data, these files are a fraction of the size of mp3s. You can mess with the instruments and effects, change the tempo and key to suit your own narrative flow. I'm using GarageBand 2. Supposedly version 3 lets you import video, which would make things even easier in terms of setting the session tempo so you can hit certain points. Does anybody know if 2.0 projects are fully compatible with GarageBand 3.0? I'm wondering if they still share the same library of software instruments. The first one is here http://swordfight.org/garageband If anyone is interested I could upload a whole pile more of these.

If it has not captured me by then (or if it's not from a friend perhaps), I delete it and move on to the next. again, size is not much of a factor here. while i constantly find great stuff, most videos fail to capture my attention these days (this is more of a statement about the increase in the number of videos, not a decrease in quality - there's just a lot more stuff out there these days) the main reason for stopping a download: i found something else I want sooner my download speed is usually in the 512Kb-1Mb range with no other limits (e.g., total downloads not limited). while this is not super fast, i would probably feel different (i.e., more selective) if I had slower access. i like streaming for the video conferences, but it does not seem to make much sense to me for vlogs (from a viewer standpoint, it stops and starts too much and it's usually hard to fast forward). hope that helps Stephanie Bryant wrote: I find myself revisiting this question every time I post a large file to my vlog.

I learned something from that article that I did not know. You can drag a .mov file into iTunes, hit command-i and then edit the meta-data for the file exactly the same as you would for an mp3. I don't have QuickTime Pro and I never really got the hang of Metadata Hootenanny so I'd sort of given up on metadata. But iTunes info is something I'm used to using. You get the same fields for a movie file as you'd get for a music file. I put my name in the Artist field and my URL in the Album field. If you've checked Copy files to iTunes Music folder in your preferences, then it will add the metadata to the copied file and leave your original alone. Otherwise it goes right into the original file. You can see it when you hit command-i with the movie open in QuickTime Player.

Michael's mom had just asked him how school was, her cellphone rings, she answers it, and the look on his face says, 'I don't get to tell my mom about my day.'

But EMI Music Publishing, which owns the rights to Gonna Fly Now, was asking the first-time producer for $10,000 to use those six seconds. etc. . . Yahoo!

[videoblogging] vlogforum.org
Hello team, Just wanted to let you all know about yet another attempt at a videoblogging messageboard: http://vlogforum.org I don't have any big expectations for this. Videobloggers have shown their preference for the immediacy of the mailing list format. I just wanted to build a nice house for myself and my links. There is one topic where I was hoping to get some help from people on the list. I've set up a category called The Rec Room with the goal of compiling a list of all the vlog memes, remix projects, content challenges and so on. If you've ever taken part in one of these, or if you're planning to start one, would you mind dropping me a link so I can check it out - http://vlogforum.org/viewforum.php?f=3 It would be cool to have an archive of as many of these as possible, before all this stuff blows up so huge that I can never find anything again. -- xo philip http://swordfight.org http://destroyhotaction.com http://vlogforum.org

Hmm... that highway sign is such a distinctly American symbol. (Plus I've already heard someone on this list refer to the Road Node as Vlog Tour USA...)

I went ahead and replaced the MT-Enclosures plugin with MT-RelEnclosures, which I found here: http://www.antisnottv.net/node/65 FeedValidator rewarded me with a big orange checkmark.

[videoblogging] help with enclosures?
On Friday I got onto some high-speed Internet. I downloaded 800MB worth of video blogs and then someone walked into the room and flicked on a light and I saw the sign posted above my head. Absolutely No Downloading you will be asked to leave. So I hastened to minimize the Safari downloads window with its shimmering blue status bars stacked up to the sky. Firewired it all to my iBook, reset Safari and no one was the wiser. I'll be back. One thing I did was check myself out on Mefeedia. Turns out it hadn't registered any of my videos for the last week. I guess there's something wrong with my feed, probably something simple but it's beyond me. I was hoping someone on the list could help sort me out. The feed is here: http://feeds.feedburner.com/swordfight I found FeedValidator while searching around and this is what it had to say: http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi? url=""> Item contains more than one enclosure. But I like having an image link to the movie, I'm not sure what to do. This is not a pleasant subject for me. The word enclosure reminds me of the word closure which reminds me of interviews with the victim's family following the execution. xo philip http://swordfight.org SPONSORED LINKS Individual Fireant Explains YAHOO!

[videoblogging] Re: help with enclosures?
Hi Andreas-- Thanks for the reply. Some time ago I'd been curious about podcasting so I installed a plugin called MT-Enclosures. http://brandon.fuller.name/archives/hacks/mtenclosures/ If I use this plugin tag to exclude images, do you think it will make the feed work better-- $MTEntryEnclosures mime_exclude=image$ Item contains more than one enclosure. But I like having an image link to the movie, I'm not sure what to do. Plain vanilla RSS only allows for one enclosure. If you want more than that (and you do) you have to use Yahoo's Media RSS Module. I can see that you have Media RSS enclosures for some of your files (some of the images). How are you creating enclosures? Are you doing anything in MT or are you relying 100% on Feedburner. - Andreas -- URL:http://www.solitude.dk/ Commentary on media, communication, culture and technology. xo philip http://swordfight.org SPONSORED LINKS Individual Fireant Explains YAHOO!

[videoblogging] Re: The Friday Dialup Challenge
My entry to the Friday Dialup Challenge is here, a little jam entitled Frankie Vs. The Ninja: http://swordfight.org/video/rhizome2/frankie_vs_ninja.mov I have to give props to the awesome little doohickey known as Rhizome (thanks Adrian). Since it requires small movie sizes, it seems perfectly suited for Dialup Fridays. I uploaded the entire Rhizome folder with bastard video children and the whole thing came to a whopping 165K. I'm not sure if I have this set up for the web properly--when I hit it up in Safari it came up as failed to load--but then I hit refresh and there it was. Stephanie--thank you for pointing me towards some vlog entries that I can watch, I'll check them out. Stephanie Bryant [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: One might argue that video-over-the-web just isn't for a dialup audience. I agree. I think you're right and yet I'm still determined to do it. If I can't dance then it's not a revolution. There's a design consideration that the content-producers (the vloggers) aren't going to take too seriously, because the dialup audience is small and getting smaller, not larger. I wasn't trying to suggest that vloggers should dumb down their designs in order to take dialup users into account. The Friday Dialup Challenge was aimed at people like Raymond who enjoy the creative challenge of working within limitations. Also, there's the purely selfish reason of taking some pressure off my poor little modem, which is currently hot to the touch and has smoke pouring off it. Join the 21st century. Good advice but I'm looking to the 22nd century. I'm out here in the country dreaming up the technology that will allow me to bypass enclosures and RSS and beam images directly into people's brains. Close your eyes. Are you thinking of a monkey smoking a cigar right now? ...Success. you may find yourself floundering for things to say/do.

[videoblogging] Introduction, and a request.
First time posting to the list. Hello, everybody. I started videoblogging back in 2002 at swordfight.org/video. After a while I started to incorporate all the media within my regular blog at http://swordfight.org . I'm pretty new to RSS and enclosures, still trying to make sense of it all. This list has answered a couple of my questions already so thank you all for that... It's occurred to me that my participation in any videoblogging community is bound to be limited by the fact that I'm a hermit in the Canadian countryside with a very slow Internet connection. There's a real limit to how many video blogs I can check out in a day. I downloaded the freevlog RSS tutorial and pretty much had to leave the iBook on and go walk around in the woods for a few hours. Sometimes I feel like the last person in the world using dialup, although I suppose I'm fortunate enough to have even that out here in Gaspereau Forks, NB. Which brings me to my request. It would be nice to know what's happening out there. Would anyone be interested in burning some of their .movs onto a CD and mailing them to me? I'd be willing to cover your postage costs, or ideally we could work out some kind of trade. A lot of Internet users would probably cringe at the thought of using snail-mail, but it works for me. Now that I'm a country boy I'm never in a hurry. Are any of the people on this list in the habit of compiling their work onto DVD? That would be right fancy. I would watch a compilation DVD of Vlogging's Greatest Hits. Here's my latest jam if you'd care to check it out, comments are of course welcome: http://swordfight.org/video/streetsense.mov [content advisory: dude with no pants on, dude in a dress] Regards, Philip Clark http://swordfight.org YAHOO!
