2007-10-30 Thread Steve Watkins
I think thats to do with future devices using Intel chips that arent released 
yet, and its 
unclear whether this platform will make it to mobile phones or whether it will 
be reserved 
for UMPC's and upcoming MIDs. Windows Mobile is probably not the target OS, bur 
rather 
full-blown windows or alternative linux-like MID OS that Intel wants to 
encourage.

  Seeing as it worked for a while and then stopped, my first guess is
  that it's something Apple screwed up in the last Quicktime update -
  allowing QT to recognise a 3gp file with an mp4 extension.
  I do know that my Nokia records lower quality 160x120 video as 3gp
  and higher quality 320x240  640x480 as mp4.
  So maybe your phone is set to record at lower quality but is still
  outputting an mp4 extension.
  Can you rename the file extensions in your phone, or would you have
  to copy to PC first before emailing/uploading to Blip?
  What a drag.

My old 8862 Nokia phone came out of the box with a simple editing software
that could mute audio track, add music, transitions, cuts, and sew footage
together.

Nokia GETS cell phone media making.

As soon as I'm able to afford to switch phones (and carriers since ATT
doesn't offer any of the marvelous N-series Nokia phones), I'm outta the
Pocket PC and ATT.

Buh-bye.

The only thing I really like about the 8525 Pocket PC is that its camera has
the capacity to focus. The darned thing can get pretty darned close and stay
in focus using the focus control. Problem is, the focus control is so near
the lens that the finger obscures the lens when adjusting. Doesn't matter
that much since you're usually gonna want the setting near or far.
Still...the focus adjustment lever should live near the capture button.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: pocketPC video editor?

2007-10-24 Thread Rupert
There IS editing software for Windows mobile devices at http:// 
luci.eu - but it costs around $200/150 Euros, I think.

Nokia N series phones have a Windows Movie Maker-like editor in them.

Great idea for the device that allows you to produce an EDL (edit  
decision list) to sync with FCP, but I suspect that most people who  
can be bothered to edit 'twice' via EDLs will just carry a laptop  
with them to edit.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: pocketPC video editor?

2007-10-24 Thread David Meade
Update:  ok my AVIs and MP4s from my phone are not the same thing
thing at all. It turns out that the AVIs are using Motion-JPEG codec
and their filesizes are MUCH larger (for same frame size/duration
recordings) than the MP4 option.

I cannot change the extension of the mp4s on the phone with built in
tools because Windows Mobile doesn't show you file extensions ...
However I found a great free program called Total Commander which
will allow me to do so.   So, I guess I can take MP4 video, then
change the file extension to 3gp using Total commander ... then upload
to blip.

(Total Commander: http://www.ghisler.com/ce.htm )

@Rupert - am I missing something? That software sounds like its an
audio only thing.  Does it do video as well?

@Jan - You can use the Nokia phones on ATT if you get an unlocked
version, however I'm told you can only connect to the EDGE network and
not the 3G network.

I've been tempted to upgrade to the 8525 (I have the 8125 now) ... but
I just cant decide. (Damn I wish the iphone took video! :p )

[videoblogging] Re: pocketPC video editor?

2007-10-22 Thread Steve Watkins
Plenty of wisdom there from Rupert :)

And yeah I am surrounded by portable devices  phones that can play
video but I dont use them. The N95 has all the features but I dont
find it fun to use, the screen isnt quite big enough and the UI is
better but still not good enough.

But now that Ive got an ipod touch, I can see what all this iphone
fuss was about. Im impressed. UI wise, video wise  lovely touchscreen
size, this puts the all important fun into the device, and makes it
more likely I would actually watch video on it. Obviously this touch
is only wifi connected, not a mobile, and I really dont like the sound
 of the speed  bitrate settings for iphone video over Edge.

But yeah, its so much fun to actually surf the web on this thing
compared to other devices, that I am now more optimistic about the
future of portable devices, I think they will catch on when they are
this much fun. I stand by my earlier ponderings that the features of a
nokia N95 combined with the UI and touchscreen of the iphone, would be
the killer device. If that doesnt catch on, then I dont think anything
pocketsized will, and I give up on mobile video.

And as the web surfing is so much fun, but still a bit of a challenge
ont he small screen, I am drawn to sites that are optimised for such
devices as the iphone and ipod touch, and I see things like tumblelogs
as being a potential good fit, though blogs with a simple theme work
well too. 

Just a shame about the video issue, 3gp is such poor quality Ive never
really looked at it properly but maybe there is a demand for it out
there, not convinced. Its not hard to anticipate that most mobile
devices will eventually be capable of playing back h264, but the wide
variety of connection speeds of mobile devices, will probably mean
that one clear format type  bitrate  res may not emerge to dominate.
Stuck with 3gp for a long time, ugh, oh well.

Im not sure I'lle ver do stuff with video over cellular data networks,
but wifi with decent devices is a lot more promising.

 Hey Pat,
 
 Yeah, the unfortunate truth of video codecs is that you can't make  
 something for everyone.
 
 Flash seems like the perfect Mac/Windows solution, since nearly all  
 computers have Flash player, or can download it quickly.
 
 But Flash doesn't work on phones. Or at least, Flash 8  9 won't work  
 on my video phone. Gah.  Flash 7 Youtube videos will, though.  But  
 now they're being converted to H264, which won't.
 
 The one format that does seem to be accepted by almost all phones  
 that play video is 3gp.
 
 But at what resolution? 160x120 or thereabouts, I think.  Tiny.
 
 If you get VisualHub, and get it to pump out multiple versions of  
 your file, and upload all those files to Blip, and then get Blip to  
 crosspost to your blog, you'll get a nice post with all your file  
 formats linked to. MP4, WMV, 3GP, FLV.
 
 Then, if you publish with Wordpress, you can use something like the  
 nice plugin that the ShowInABox.tv guys have made, to create format- 
 specific feeds.
 
 So it'll be possible for you to 'easily' offer podcasting in  
 different formats.
 
 But I have to ask, how many people will actually watch on a phone?  
 Like Jan, I make videos using my phone - a Nokia N93, which has  
 serious video capabilities - but I've never ever watched or  
 subscribed to anybody else's video on it.  And I'm someone who's very  
 into watching web video. So is it worth the effort?  I guess you  
 won't know until you try.

   hmmm thats odd ... 3gp is a type of mp4 as I understand it .. but
   still ... that odd. :-P
  
   I don't think I can change the extension, but I can choose to save as
   avi instead of mp4 ... I'll do some testing ... given your discovery,
   I bet they probably are using the same codec inside the avi container
   and thus I probably wouldnt be sacrificing anything by using avi.
   I'll test that to be sure.
 
 I don't think this will work.
 
 I'm trying to figure out a way to encode videos for cell phones
 without having to upload like a hundred instances of THE SAME video
 every time I make a video on my desktop PC, but I don't think doing
 THIS will work regardless of the type of PC.
 
 So far, all I've found is some software that encode for some phones,
 but not others while other software will encode will only encode for
 only a scant (A *very small* scant at that) handful of phones and
 that's it.
 
 Cheers :D
