Yep, same concept. Don't know if the preloader page is necessary... i just want to watch videos. Clicking bothers me. If the page embeds media types properly then I have nothing to worry about. You could also do plugin detection if you want. That would be better than the preloader page IMHO. > i had tossed around the idea of making this a service for bloggers but > there eas some resitance to the fact that it relies on my server to > work and if my server is down or lagging, then it will effect everyones > blogs. Well, that could be in the terms of service. Nobody is perfect... and if its free people seem to be willing to put up with things like that... look at OurMedia. Of course, that wouldn't be useful for a professional level of service. > but it was definately one of the models i was thinking about and of > course if you wanted to add revenue, you stick text ads and video ads in > there etc... I don't know about that. If I were to offer this as a real service, I'd just let it be free without the ads and such. I was going to offer this code to OurMedia just so they could possibly put some of their branding on that popup window. I think it would be useful for blogger users... maybe for MySpace kiddies... dunno.

Re: [videoblogging] how do you feel about video popping up in a new window?
I built a popup link generator: < http://joshkinberg.com/popupmaker/ > I also amended my popup code so the window itself doesn't resize -- instead the launching link handles the size of the window. This isn't perfect obviously... it would be nice to have more sizing controls. Right now the video size is just hard coded at 320x240. The code also generates a fixed size window, but you could always edit the code. Anyhow, take it for a spin and let me know what you think this should also handle WMV, but I haven't tested.. if anything the sizing with WMV could be a little weird. Anyone who want's may feel free to steal this code, or write me off list and I'll send the code to you. -josh On 10/11/05, Michael Sullivan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Josh, > yeah, i was totally doing this too. actually, this is how popups are > handled on vlogdir.com. > it takes the url of the media, figures out the media type, loads a preload > page based on that media type and clicking it will load the media using > correct embedded media player.

Ok, I do see your point. I suppose I tend to assume that users less knowledgeable than myself would prefer choice. I should remember that this is not always the case. I too am a user of course, so when I say "what a user prefers" I am also speaking about myself as a user. >>And let the user decide how to view it, and use it... > > Use it yes. View it ...

On my Palm device there are no fonts that would be described as *bold* so anything html marked with or is italicized. Likewise when I view web site with Lynx there are specific limitations as to how things can be displayed. Same with my phone. So while people might think that means the font is displayed using a bold face, what it *semantically* means is different. The fact that most browsers display as bold text by default means nothing really, hence CSS... >>Go ahead. Just know that you have no control over how it can be >>transformed or displayed.

Re: [videoblogging] how do you feel about video popping up in a new window?
Josh, yeah, i was totally doing this too. actually, this is how popups are handled on vlogdir.com. it takes the url of the media, figures out the media type, loads a preload page based on that media type and clicking it will load the media using correct embedded media player. The preload page is not necessary but I chose to use it so users see the media type and can decide to play it and maybe avoid some browser problems that can occur if media loads immediately in popups. i had tossed around the idea of making this a service for bloggers but there eas some resitance to the fact that it relies on my server to work and if my server is down or lagging, then it will effect everyones blogs. but it was definately one of the models i was thinking about and of course if you wanted to add revenue, you stick text ads and video ads in there etc...

Re: [videoblogging] how do you feel about video popping up in a new window?
I use a pop-up for my embeded player. I do it for the following reasons: * I (and I've found most of my viewers) find it really annoying when they click "play" (or whatever) and some media player takes the webpage away and brings up a player I have to sit with while things stream/download and play ... if I wanted to browse comments at the same time or something I have to open up a whole new window now ... so letting a player take away the website was out for me - needed to be a new window. * I wanted the ability to include many videos on a page (or even a post if I choose) wihtout worrying about the client trying to buffer/download more than one at a time. My solution was 'dont embed a player until the user selects which movie they want to see'. (I could have chosen to not embed a player at all ... but with quicktime that usually means my webpage goes away ... and I dont want that (and opening a new window for the movie file is basically the same thing as a pop up).) * Most users (who arent web designers) dont want to have a 'right-click/select an option' or even a "shift-click" experience ... they want a "I click it and it worked" experience. (and "Bah! I clicked it and it played but web site closed!" is not the experience I'm hoping to provide.) * I use a system similar to the one Josh Kinberg describes. I have one and only one "plays a video" page. It's passed a video ID and then the approrpriate embed code and src url is loaded. All that being said, there is some serious room for improvement in my system I know that ... having a "view in pop-up" link as an alternative is an ok option ... but I've found the general rule on pop-ups is thaty they are typically ok as long as they contain expected and requested content . (And to whoever said the webs whole point was to let the user decide how to see information ... thats not really true. HTML has never let the user dictate how it's parsed. The web is meant to easily interconnect sets of data and let the user decide how to travese it ... but it's also meant to allow content publishers to easily make that data available in a manner they the publisher choose.) - Dave http://www.davidmeade.com SPONSORED LINKS Individual Fireant Typepad Use YAHOO!

Re: [videoblogging] how do you feel about video popping up in a new window?
Actually, a pop-up window with an embedded player is quite useful. Most people on the web are using MIcrosoft Internet Explorer (unfortunately), and IE disables Quicktime Fast-Start playback unless the video is properly embedded using both the HTML Object and Embed tags. Simply linking to your videos, as many of us do, leaves IE users waiting for whole video to download before it will begin to play. Here's one solution... I was playing around with this a while back: < http://www.joshkinberg.com/blog/popup.php?url=http://joshkinberg.com/blog/files/tornado.mov > Its a simple PHP page that you can pass in the URL of a video file and it will properly embed that video. This way, you don't have to make a new HTML page for every video pop-up window. You use the same page and simply pass in the URL to the video you wish to display. This could also be modified to handle various video types (like WMV). Lastly, I also added controls to resize the video and window (which might seem annoying to some of you, but hey just playing around here). My idea was to finish this off and pass it to OurMedia so that people could have a place to load up their video in a pop-up if they wished this is not easy to do if you're on Blogger and have no where to upload HTML or PHP files. But... I got sidetracked with other things and never finished this off. Not even sure if other people would find it useful.

Michael Sullivan wrote: > of course it is best to provide all options to audience, since opinions > differ, as we see here. > whenever possible, we should try to cater to all preferences. Agreed. In fact, I'd push it further and suggest you always give the user/viewer the option to do what *they* want to do. For instance, there is no need to force a link to open in a new window (or tab) since most graphical browsers have had this feature built in for the last 5 years. Let the user decide. Happy users are a good thing. Pete -- http://tinkernet.org/ videoblog for the future... Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~--> Most low income households are not online.

There's an old usability suggestion on the web that goes something "do what all the other sites are doing" which is one way of suggesting that people are used to the way *other sites work* so even if you think you're being unique, or better, or innovative, if the usability is affected negatively, it may not be the best idea.

You need popups whenever you spin off an independent timeline. An edit box has a timeline, a video has a timeline, but a passive control like a title doesn't have a timeline.

i like it if it is a size controlled window with embedded player, and its helpful if it places itself in top left of screen. i am doing this for video playlists on vlogdir.com its nice because i can watch an entire rss video feed and still browse the web in main window or whatever. sullOn 10/11/05, aroundtheperimeter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: If you vlog has its video pop up in a new window, is it annoying?
