Re: [videoblogging] Re: Best Video Technology
The universe of audio and video will always have all sorts of lengths, sizes and qualities among its parts. There is no right or wrong on this subject. I do agree shorter is better for a lot of things - especially in this early stage of internet distribution.I so thrilled to have found the Buckey videos at http://greylodge.org/gpc/?p=67. I knew him personally so this is a huge find for me. Thank you so much for mentioning it Steve Watkins. The Real Player series is handing off sockets every minute. I have never seen video distributed this way before. I guess you can stop it any time and pick up where you leave off by keeping the individual part of the string - sort of like a series of little chain links - on your desktop. Very interesting. Wonder how they do that and why? The player keeps handing off to 1-1.5 minute segments while remaining the same name between each thought he states. And the video gets very interesting as the editor or the director used the blue screen to project more than one shot of Bucky simultaneously while he was talking. Can't tell if that was done in post or during the recording. And Bucky directing the director - this is CLASSIC!!!I think Bucky was the original inventor of the Internet. He was the first person to imagine and postulate the concept of a global interconnected network of computers sharing information for resource re-delegation. However his concept was not at the desktop level because that was beyond his ability to imagine. I took him to Apple to meet Steve Jobs back in the 70's and he thought the Apple computer was "just a toy". He wound up being too old to fathom what we have today. But I did imagine it beyond his mainframe network concept. I tried to tell him this was going to happen but he didn't get it cause desktops were still too weak then.Thank you so much Steve Watkins. Bucky video for FREE! This is another internet miracle. Wow!! the quality of this video is amazing considering when it was recorded in January 1975. I am totally blown away. I will be posting this news on Future Media TV blogspot site tonight with a personal thanks to you Steve. Thank you soo much. I am crying. Bucky is my #1 all time hero.I will definitely be watching all 42 hours of this set MORE THAN ONCE. And I will be listening to the audio on my iPod even more times. Every minute is a mind blowing experience for me.

Still its hard to create captivating epics, so its more likely people would watch longer stuff thats on a specific theme thats of special interest to them. To say whether the video in question should be 28 minutes or not, well I could not say without seeing it first. Cheers Steve of Elbows YAHOO! GROUPS LINKS Visit your group "videoblogging" on the web.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Best Video Technology
So, josh, I would encourage you to think out of the Web ;-) I can't watch anything longer than 5 minutes anywhere (5 minutes is really pushing the limits of my attention span), not just on the web. I won't watch a 28 minute segment on TV, or listen to 28 minutes straight on the radio without checking what else is on, or jumping up to check email. I don't think I'm alone. I really wish maintream content producers would htink in smaller chunks. There are only 2 good minutes maximum of just about everything on television or in the movies, the rest is filler. -josh SPONSORED LINKS Individual Fireant YAHOO!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Best Video Technology
Why not make each of these a separate chunk. Then I might be able to watch and even link to individual parts of it rather than tell someone: you know there's some good stuff from minute 18:30 to 21:10 (Or i could use MeFeedia's new quoting tool: plugging for Peter) -josh On 8/8/05, jmedakev [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: PLEASE by all means... check it out.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Best Video Technology
I don't think its necessary... your target output is TV not the web, and to re-edit everything would be a big PITA. But, if your target output was the web then I would definitely say smaller chunks are better. Maybe even separate blog entries for each bit so there are permalinks to specific video segments. Of course these decisions would be up to you as the author, but I prefer things that are linkable. The web is an ecology of links, work with its strength. The web is not ideal for linear media. The quoting tool is something Peter added to MeFeedia.com. It allows you to create quote segments from Quicktime movies. The output is a SMIL movie that uses the start and stop time parameters to make the quote. Although you'll still have to wait for the movie to load up to the point of the quote before it begins playing -- this is a SMIL limitation. Here's an example of the quoting action on Chuck Olsen's site: http://blogumentary.typepad.com/vlog/2005/08/mefeedia_quote_.html -Josh On 8/8/05, jmedakev [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I really don't want to seperate it.

Quicktime 7 does this automatically as if it were an MOV file. But in order for it to work though, I think the viewer MUST have Quicktime 7 but I could be wrong on that part. :-) Hope this helps Jamie :-) Cheers for now everyone :-) Pat P.S.
