I went ahead and purchased the FS100, for many of the reasons mentioned earlier. In the attached photo, that I took a minute ago, you can see the mic jack, as well as the AV out jack, which will accomodate headphones. So far so good with this camera, although I haven't yet connected it to the computer, charged the battery, or loaded the software. I've got some work to do.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Sanyo Xacti HD1010 / Canon HF100 4MP MPEG4 High Definition 1080i/1080p Camcorder with 10x
Thanks Caleb! From the product description (at Amazon.com): *Microphone terminal* The FS100 features a microphone terminal for attaching an external microphone. Would Canon have updated the camera without changing the model number? The reason I ask is if yours doesn't have it, why is it shown in the description. Furthermore, one of the tech journal's reviews mentioned that it didn't have Image stabilization, yet the same product description says: *Image stabilizer* Shoot rock-steady video -- even when you're at maximum telephoto without a tripod. It is even effective while panning or zooming. Like you, the first thing on my list is the mic terminal. Real close to that is the Image stabilizer. Makes me think that I shouldn't shop on a site like eBay for this, because I might be getting one of the older ones. Best to get a brand new one that promises to have these two features. Any thoughts? Does anyonje know if the FS100 has been changed to incorporate these features since originally released? Rob www.twitter.com/robschendel On Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 8:39 AM, Caleb J.

And you're right, I don't shoot on HD mostly, but XP+ so it's easier to edit in Final Cut Express. You simply Log and Capture, which is about the same time as bringing in AVIs from an Xacti (I think) then in the time line, you don't have to render at all. If it's HD, there's a long render process if I remember right. My sense is that for video blogging Card Only cameras, with mic ports, the shoot out is still Canon HF vs. Xacti 1000s I've used both, and it's pretty close for me, with Canon slightly in the lead due to form factor (I don't like the pistol feel in terms of the subjects and look) and User Interface. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com videoblogging%40yahoogroups.com, Rob Schendel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm reconsidering my decision to purchase the Canon HF 100.

[videoblogging] Re: Last Next To Heaven of Season 1
Thanks Bill and everyone for the kind words. I do think NTH sharpened me up a bit. I think its a great exercise for any non-professional artist/filmmaker/musician to put yourself on a schedule and create. Not having all the time in the world actually makes some cool stuff pop out. The random nature of the images also made me tell stories in a way I wouldn't have otherwise. But, looking back on it, all the stories are close to the things I'm interested in. So, in the end, throwing something random at yourself can end up simply pushing forward the things you wanted to say anyway. Like a Rorschach blot (off topic, but hear they are making a movie of Watchmen -- can't wait). As to what was challenging, there were several archive movies that sat around for months, and while I liked them, I couldn't think of a thing to do with them. Some are still on my hard drive, not used, others suddenly came in handy . . . out of the blue.

Re: [videoblogging] Hiss from audio mixer
At 10:58 PM -0400 8/6/07, J. Rhett Aultman wrote: Guys, We've been trying to improve our sound setup, but to no avail. I'm mildly desperate for advice. Most of the time, we've been using a Shure handheld microphone. Sounds great, but looks stupid unless you're in the field. So, we tried to upgrade. We bought an SE Electronics SE1A condenser microphone, boom, and a Peavey PV-6 mixer to provide the condenser mic its phantom power. We hook everything up, and we check the headphone out (after adapting the 1/4 stereo plug to 1/8), and it sounds beautiful. Love it. Can't wait to use it. So, we run one of the outputs to the camera (again, this requires a 1/4 to 1/8 adapter). Even with the gain turned all the way down, there's a constant audible hiss in the background. It doesn't matter if everything on the mixer is off and all the inputs are unplugged. It also doesn't matter if we run the headphone (stereo) out to the camera or if we run one of the mono channels to the camera. The noise floor is there, it's just a question of how many ears we hear it in. So, what gives? Why the hiss and noise floor when we run it to the camera, but not when we listen in on the headphones directly? Is there a way to remedy this, or did I get an expensive pile of junk for my birthday? -- Rhett. http://www.weatherlight.com/greentime Hi Rhett-- The sensitivity (output) of the SE1 is 10mV/Pa which is the lower-end of condenser mics but still acceptable. Noise of 17dBA is acceptable. It seems to want at least 44 volts phantom. It doesn't sound like you are getting just mixer or camcorder preamp noise-- more like you are not getting enough phantom power to the mics or have a mixer - camcorder connection issue. The Peavey PV-6 pre/mixer manual specs don't state that the phantom voltage is 48 volts. I've seen Phantom power at 40 volts or less on some inexpensive mixers. Are you going to a 3.5mm mic level input on a camcorder or line level? If the former, I'd just use a Rolls PB224 which will provide 48 volts and add absolutely no audible noise. You can make a 2-XLR to 3.5mm stereo plug unbalanced Y cable and plug right into the camcorder's stereo mic input. The Rolls PB224 is small enough to attach to the end of your boom pole and its stereo so you can run two SE-1's. The Rolls will power just one mic at a time too but use the stereo cable. Takes 2- 9 volt batteries (~2 hours) or you can make a sled with 8-AA's (~6-10 hours) for the 12 volt coax input. If you are using line inputs on the camcorder, let us know more about the model, jacks etc. Rob D. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
Re: [videoblogging] Hiss from audio mixer
Hi Rhett-- Please see inserts below. Peavey PV-6 ..manual ... says +48V Phantom. The spec sheet I saw doesn't state a voltage; it lists it more generically as a feature. That doesn't seem to be the source of your problem, so we'll put that aside. My first guess right now is that it's a question of the connection between the camcorder and the mixer. I say that because, as I mentioned in my previous email, I ran two tests-- (1) headphones plugged into mixer -- no noise (2) headphones plugged into camcorder, camcorder plugged into mixer (any output) -- noise, even when no mic is plugged in and gains are all down I don't know if it's a line level or a mic level input, The Panasonic PV-GS150's mic input is mic level. The mixer outputs you are using are approx line level and are not workable. but off hand, I'd suspect it's a mic level input. The camcorder is a Panasonic PV-GS150. For the sake of argument, though, let's say that it is a matter of it being a mic level instead of a line level. I already have a phantom power source in this mixer, so is there something I could do that wouldn't involve buying some new phantom power source? I'd just like the feeling that my investment wasn't wasted. :) IMHO, there's no reason to use the mixer when a camorder only has a mic input (even if we were to determine that the mixer has a mic level output). The dealer did give you poor advice. If its new, they should accept it back. (BTW, the internet is often a much better place to research options and find expertise than retail salesmen and with audio this is probably more the case.) Aside from cost, the Rolls PB224 phantom power supply ($80) has several of advantages you may wish to consider: 1) Mimimum possible noise with a condenser mic and recorder (and most combinations for that matter) 2) portable (DC 2 9v or 12v coax input) 3) smaller The 3.5mm stereo input connector will accept the output from the Rolls with an adapter cable like the Hosa YXF247 Right Angle 1/8 Male to 2 XLR Female Adapter ~$15 http://tinyurl.com/2znndn One can make a variation of this adapter cable that is longer (~8') long and mount the Rolls on the boom. I put it in a fanny pack when I'm roaming with condenser mics. I know some people recommend the Beachtek for this, but I like the Rolls better for half the price. Another good unit for $50 is the Art Phantom III. Same quality, and a tad smaller. I like the Rolls' 9v battery drawers better. Conrats on moving up to better mics and they should help some. The only kind of micing I'm happy with when using a camcorder with automatic audio gain is close-micing-- usually with a lavalier mic 9 from the speaker's mouth because the levels are more consistent. Most electret mics don't require phantom powering either. In your long term planning, you might want to consider getting a camcorder with manual audio gain. Some of the older models like the Sony TRV 900 and 950 have it. When doing the research, be aware that some manufacturers are specifying manual gain (like a Panasonic model I tested) but it turned out to be a sensitivity setting-- not true fixed level control. Auto-gain makes the sound pump and feel agitated and unnatural. There are a couple of very useful camcorder audio websites on line, I'd start looking for camcorder model numbers with proven manual audio gain there. Good luck with the dealer. Rob D.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Microphone Recommendations
Perhaps _the_ proven journalists' mic for hand-held interviews is the Electrovoice RE-50 http://www.fullcompass.com/product/296440.html with its very substantial pop filter. Like the SM58, its an unbalanced dynamic mic. To get around the PIP powering on the camcorder, one can use a Shure A96F transformer. http://tinyurl.com/2awllg That's the smallest PIP solution I know of. I much prefer carrying a stereo lavaliere pair so I can record stereo ambience, stereo effects and clip one or both on an interview subject. The design is hands-free, allows the interviewee to be less self-conscious and the resulting voice levels are often much more even often easier to edit. Sound Professionals http://tinyurl.com/2mvfkc has several high quality stereo lavs in the $50 range. These are made for PIP, no adapters are necessary. Tell Chris what your applications are. re: Use a Beachtek in combination with the SM58 if you need a boost in signal: http://www.beachtek.com/prod.htmlhttp://www.beachtek.com/prod.html http://www.beachtek.com/dxa4.htmlhttp://www.beachtek.com/dxa4.html The Beachtek (with 48v powering) will also work with a shotgun mic that can be put on a boom pole, another, versatile option, particularly if you'll have your camera locked down on a tripod. Don't have time to do the research on a mic that would attach to the camera just now. Sorry. I prefer keeping the onboard mic close to the subject to using an external, aftermarket microphone. Perhaps someone else will chime in here with more information in that regard. For mics that need phantom powering, I'd suggest the Rolls PB224 or the Art Phantom II. Quite a bit cheaper than the Beachtek and they have been shown to maintain quality of the quietest mics on the quietest pro recorders. With most camcorders, all you need is an XLR - mini stereo adapter plug. Rob D. Jan [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Also, when I tried to compress the 875x480 file to 437x240 - 3ivx didn't generate an image, just black. This whole pixel shape thing is a bit daunting.

Check out the movie at http://www.hoppervideo.net/2006/05/miss-gringa.html I believe that human beings inherently love beauty. The problem with our culture today is that we have fetishised a particular version of female beauty and elevated it above all other versions of beauty. So the fact that a person seeking a large audience attempts to recruit a mouthpiece that satisfies the current cultural fetish is not surprising. The question for all of us, as makers of media, is whether we want to be part of an effort to expand society's conception of beauty or do we simply want to play it as it lays and cater to the current state of our cultural development.

[videoblogging] Re: We need more vlogs about vlogging!
Hello Randy, Thanks for all the mentions and referrals back to me... and yes, I have to admit that I am new to all of this and stumbling and bumbling my way through... I did not realize that there were such problems with my early VBlogs... but when I am posting video in the 300 - 600 meg stage... well... I have learned how to shave it down some. It would help to know what you all consider to be the best video display size... and also please understand that I am working in a windows based system, not on a Mac... so that may be another disadvantage. I am not too vocal as far as the written group, but I read all of it, and as you have seen (maybe), I am not bashful when it comes to sharing my thoughts. As a reward for your indulgence, I actually did post a VBlog I hope people will find funny today... to make up for yesterday's confusion. Take care Rob Reedy --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Randolfe Wicker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm surprised at how few videos are produced about the techniques and technical hurdles encountered in vlogging.

Yes Richard, I was agreeing with you, even if it was for different reasons or through different means... the end result (turning on the camera) was my point as well.

No, it was not tongue in cheek. I wasn't criticising Paul, or trivialising his situation. I was simply saying: turn on the camera. One of my favourite videos of the past year, was when Aaron lost his little girl. He had the camera on at the time, and it was so emotional. I couldn't stop crying watching it. We all publish video of ourselves to the web, because we want people to watch us. We all try to watch and narrate good stories, because we like the emotional or thought provoking journey or outcome. We like to cry, we like to laugh. After a half dozen videos of someone doing what they do, I want to see more of the real world in which they live, and learn more about them. Most of us aren't actors, so by erecting a wall between the on screen persona and the real you, or filtering anything remotely personal, you're just watering down your end result, and probably making people unsubscribe, because there's millions of other people to watch doing the same thing. I don't know if I could easily perform, but I could easily invoke my online persona, for sure, and as a videoblogger, I've learnt to mostly ignore cameras being on around me. We're documenting history, and I can't even begin to imagine my descendants in 100 years seeing me on video, being emotional, being fragile, being me...

[videoblogging] Greetings to all...
What an exciting time to be alive... I am a new VBlogger, and I see such wonderful potential. Yes, I am following Rocketboom and its adventure very carefully, but I see this as so much more... I am looking at the FUN I can and will have. I have begun what I hope to be a daily VBlog, but I am sure I will miss an ocassional day or two here and there... just depends on how things go. I look at the rise of national personalities such as Paul Harvey, Rush Limbaugh, Howard Stern (NOT that I would want to be any of them...) but then I just look at the ability this new medium gives me to voice my thoughts to the world and anyone who might like to listen... how VERY Cool. I see many artistic endeavors... and I also see some sillyness... and it's all good... I agree with Amanda (and yes I am paraphrasing) when she says we can all be good to one another here... I look forward to interacting... and as I learn more of how to properly post things so they are more accessable, I will (hopefully) become more known to you... In the mean time.. if you get a chance, stop by and have a peek... and feeel free to leave me some feedback. My VBlog is at http://robreedy.blogspot.com/ (I have also uploaded to video.google.com where they seem to stream better and load much faster) Have a great day Rob Yahoo!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Rocketboom to Auction Advertising Time on Ebay?
it was mentioned that "free lunches are a great thing, but i've not yet found one":but possibly udid. distorting history to argue a point-of-view is akin to a "free lunch"... at the very least, it's relying on others ignorance to press home an advantage. David may or may not have been "over the top" but not by the argument that Capitalism has been around for "20,000 odd years" try 200 years... a Capitalist paradigm isan informativeway toview the world. but it is not the only one, nor the one held by a majority of people. for the record: America (which i'm guessing is where the majority of people on this mailing list are from) is NOT a Capitalist society... it was almost one in the 19th century (if that helps)... today the U.S.A is a mixed-ecomomy withplacedfreedoms and controls. ~ in terms of public benefit: Police, Fire, Ambulance, Libraries, Museums, Galleries, Roads, Docks, Airports, Bridges are generally created with funds derived from taxation or endowments. neither of these require Capitalism to operate. ANY form of economic system will suffice. Vlogging could easily be seen as a public service... radio andtelevision are alreadyregarded as "essentials", not luxuries. if computers aren't yet, they will be soon. community channels, tho far from glitzy, serve a function that a national network can't: they serve the community. they still exist today because they are useful... useful is generally quite boring i admit, u won't find an equivalent to American Idol, but that isn't their purpose. ~ personallyi think having a vlog with commercials or product placement would be an interesting experience. it's gonna happen more and more over time anyway. the potential for loss-of-freedom is obvious, but that isalways a potentialwhen SOMEONE ELSES money is involved. might nothappen tho.the sponsor may not care about the content (which is quite likely as long as the number of viewers stays consistent). it's only when a subject that is threatening to the sponsor on a larger scalecomes up that problems arise. overall i think it'd begreat to be one-of-the-first vloggers doing something like that... a footnote in a history book sorta thing. cool. i don't really see why it matters if a person does or does not use commercials: you want the money, go get it. you want the freedom, go get it. you want a mix, go get it. make your choice. why does only one of them have to be "right"? why not "right for me" instead? that's the whole point anyway isn't it? l8r rob ps ~ sorry if the earlier part of what i wrotesoundsrude, but i was mildly offended by the crassness of those statements:apologies in advance. i'll try to avoid reading email in the morning from now on. - Original Message - From: Rachel Knight To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, January 30, 2006 6:47 AM Subject: Re: [videoblogging] Re: Rocketboom to Auction Advertising Time on Ebay? Bit over the top, David. There have to be ads on TV to pay for making the programs, it's not cheap. What we vloggers do is cheap, and it's a hobby, so we spend the money without any desire to recoup it. Some media sites probably have the same problem as TV - it's not a hobby, it's not done in spare time, so they need to recoup some money to pay for what they are doing. I know not everyone agrees with the capitalist system, but it is the one that has worked best for the last 20,000 odd years, and I have not seen anyone come up with a better one yet.

[videoblogging] Launch of deaf-blogs.com
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Monday 2nd January, 2006 Monday 2nd January, 2006 Announcing the launch of deaf-blogs.com DEAF BLOGS INITIATIVE, UK is pleased to announce an ambitious drive to bring the power of Instant Publishing to Deaf people across the world. deaf-blogs.com is a free aggregator service that gathers content published by Deaf people from all over the internet. deaf-blogs.com provides a self-updating list of new newly-published material.The site promotes Deaf individual expression in text, images, and video to reflect the diversity of the international Deaf community. Self-publishing has traditionally been focused on the written word, which can and has prevented Deaf people from recording their experiences and traditions. The written word has also offered little interactivity and did not lend itself to the nuance and grace of sign language, itself a visual medium. Self-Publishing was often an expensive form of expression and historical record, with the equipment and software necessary for recording sign language costing more than the average Deaf person's budget. As a consequence both experience and tradition have relied much upon the contemporaneous nature of an oral history which is, otherwise, left unrecorded. deaf-blogs.com will be consolidating and promoting content by Deaf people, encouraging them to express their individuality and their culture using the various emerging web technologies at their disposal. It will be an online presence where Deaf voices can be heard. Alison Bryan, Principal Co-ordinator of the Deaf Blogs initiative notes that there is a vital need for such a service: Deaf-blogs.com offers co-ordination for online Deaf content, and encourages responsibility to publish their own thoughts, away from deaf organisations. To date much of online content has been via organisations, which in no way allows autonomy and empowerment. As well as providing a portal to new Deaf blog content, the web site offers support to people looking to create their own online web presence. By offering practical step-by-step guides to creating and managing a blog or videolog (see What can this do for me? below), we hope to increase the number of Deaf voices online and publicise greater recognition of their needs. Jen Dodds, a well known Deaf activist and writer comments: I hope deaf-blogs.com means more Deaf people think about self expression via blogs plus video blogging, and that 2006 sees an explosion online activism through the creation of Deaf blogs. What can this do for me? Blogging is the cultural phenomenon of recent years and a powerful resource for Deaf people. A blog is a personal web site where a person can share their thoughts and experiences, and potentially influence the way we think about the world around us. Deaf-Blogs offers readers the ability to connect, read and interact with thousands of blogs from Deaf people around the world (we display a constantly updating list of blogs). Not only that, but we also provide free guidance and support to Deaf visitors who want to join the 'blogosphere'. For BSL users we also support a pioneering form of blogging called Vlogging (or videologging) where Deaf people can add filmed content to their blog. This endeavour has the support of leading internet authorities including that of renowned social networking commentator, Marc Canter. He says of the drive toward the preservation and delivery of signed content by deafblogs.com that: The world of Deaf people is another great example of Vlogging being utilized by a particular context. By knowing and understating who their constituency is, www.deaf-blogs.com will be able to provide compelling experiences and relevant services to their own Long Tail.. Notes for Editors * The website has been developed by Deaf Blogs Initiative, a group led by activist Alison Bryan working with three leading Deaf technology specialists: Joseph Gwynne-Jones, Rob Wilks and Ben Fletcher. * Interviews/more information: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!

[videoblogging] Re: Best quality video?
I don't know if DiVA involves quality loss. I use it to get small sized files up to TV resolution because I put my stuff on TV as well as on the internet. It looks good, and the files get much much bigger. So, I assume I'm doing the oposite of compressing (expanding?). You did remind me that on the archive.org FAQs it does mention that you can use Cleaner to do the conversion work to. I don't own Cleaner so I didn't pursue that. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Harold Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Rob, Someone told me about bbDEMUX the other day (perhaps you) and I used it to separate the MPEG2 file. I just looked into DiVA, and I see that tool is a transcoder; doesn't that mean I will simply be compressing the file again (albeit into another file type)? I'd rather not lose any more quality than has already been lost in compressing to MPEG2 in the first place. Please let me know if I'm wrong about this. What I've discovered in the past couple of days: I *may* be able to convert the MPEG2 file to DV using a tool called MPEG Streamclip, but I'd still need to purchase Apple's Quicktime MPEG2 thing to do so. That's another $20; perhaps there's another (less expensive) way? Harold On 1/1/06, Rob Parrish [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ok here we go.

I'm trying to get my feed up to speed with iTune's demands. This is probably a dumb question, but here it goes. So, Apple wants a bunch of tags inserted into the feed. Do I do that through Blogger, Feedburner, (I don't see a way that these deplay the code of the feed) or do I need to open the atom file that is on my web server and add the tags there? If I do the last option, will that mess up the auto updating functionality of the feed? Will the tags survive the next time a do a post? Thanks for the help. Rob ps happy holidays everybody! Yahoo!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: War On Text
does anyone study history? i see comments stating implicitly or explicitly that video will (note use of future tense, that's a clue folks) have the same profound effect as writing. ha ha ha. the effect of the masses being taught to read/write changed EVERYTHING in europe (i was born there, now live in north america, so i'll leave my observations to these places)... no western culture would exist in any recognizable form without writing/print... this is not an exaggeration: read about events following the black plague, memory cathedrals, martin luther, etc and it's affect on society. (one interesting example is none of us can remember much compared to those who lived before) video's not close to that and is unlikely to be: no fundamental institutions have yet formed from the existence of video... no social hierarchies of any importance (videobloggers are clearly more important than anyone else on the planet but leaving that aside...) have developed either... yes, hollywood generates celebrities people who are accorded higher social status in a mundane way, but this phenomena has been around a very long time, it isn't new; gladiators for instance. but even more importantly... in my opinion, before video will replace text, something will replace video. new technologies have already been developed that are more likely to play a large role in communications over this century... here's a couple i recently read: how about the one that can directly interface to the brain (new scientist reports on electroencephalography with quadriplegics able to make a wheelchair move forward, left or right)... considering the full implications of devices like this, it's not hard to see where the real revolutions will occur in communications. developments in hormones allow people to bottle emotional states. (look up Oxytocin's and the University of Zurich)... what artist wouldn't want to get their hands on something like that? (not to mention politicians, frustrated lovers, etc) UPSIDE so easy to be critical... one really should reveal one's own preferences. where i do feel video steps up and above is regarding tangible experiences. reading travel books has nothing on even the most amateur video footage taken in some far-off location. the subtle interplay of facial features, etc gives clear messages that'd never translate as well in text form. my videoblogs otherwise are usually quite amateurish technically, but they capture an emotion nicely... more pro ones tend to be overly concerned with polish rather than content. there's also a sense of lack-of-control (i dunno why it worked out so good, but check it out! type of blogs) which i enjoy. serendipity. newscast blogs are ok, but the regard i have for them stems from their social function... they blog stuff corporate newscasters won't touch, or think is unimportant, or is unsuited to their political agenda. blogs in the omg i'm so special style are ok in small doses... easy to relate to cuz hey! I am the most important person in my universe... and i would hope everyone else feels the same about themselves in their universe... but i'll only watch a few before moving on to someone else. CONCLUSION video's just another tool in the arsenal we have to communicate. a statement like war on text implies such a narrow vision of what experiences are worth sharing... i can't imagine how drab and dull things would be, tho if i go back and re-read 1984 perhaps i'll have an idea. later rob ps ~ someone wrote that video is non-linear... only from a creators perspective... the audience has no such luxury. whereas text? there's a thing called skim-reading. works great. text requires far less attention than video... do the test: glance at a paragraph, glance at a video. which one do you feel confident you understand the creators intent? and hyperlinks? they are the embodiment of non-linear, allowing a person to go back/forth at will to whatever section they wish. video has nothing as effective... hotspots are a cool idea, but there's a lack of grace regarding how they're incorporated into video footage. hypertext links otoh can be ignored or used with no distraction to the reading material. pps ~ war on text? ick. must've been a joke i missed cuz i find it a tasteless phrase. ppps ~ i'll go back to lurking now.
