Bev, I have the impression that YouTube "owns" your
work once you post it there. Have you examined the details there
carefully?
I remember doing so weeks ago and that really
turned me off. They also sounded "censorious" insofar as they didn't want
anything that wasn't "family friendly" or something like that.

continuing frustration
What a nice message. Thanks, Jay!
I've about decided to keep on doing what I'm doing--processing in wmv,
converting to 3ivx to post to Blip and also post to YouTube which will convert
to flash for me and link it to my flog. Cumbersome, at best, but at
least it covers as many of the bases as I am able to cover.
Thanks so much.

see, youre already ahead of the curve.
i was at a devloper's
confernce last month.
there were reps from Yahoo, reuters, etc...and
everyone was frustrated
with video formats.
NO ONE KNOWS.
there is
no format that works everywhere.
the commercial world is going all
Flash.....but its not remixable..and
very often difficult to
aggregate.
I have never seen flash done well.
usually its some
commercial player that streams flash and has ads
before and after the
video.

if someone has a problem watching your
video on their machine...its
not YOUR fault.
very oftnen its a person
who doesnt know how to install the most basic
software for viewing
video.
Quicktime and WMV.
we're also all the unfortunate victims of a
war between MS and Apple.
they dont want to play nice with each
other.
my suggestion is just make video thats easiest for you.
if
you have a Windows machine....make WMV.
if you have an apple, use
QT.
i have a Mac computer but can watch both formats easily.
if
your viewer has problems watching your videos....
send them a link to the
correct player.

i can watch your
videos....
you must realize that youre ahead of most of your friends
now.
its time for you to teach
them.
