I didn't notice that particular statement in the
FAQs and didn't see any place where it mentions that. I did notice that
they say no nudity and that it should be "appropriate for all audiences."
My stuff isn't on a par with yours. It's not nearly as professional and
pretty appropriate for all audiences, so I guess those two issues don't bother
me as much. The one thing that DOES bother me is the amount of copyrighted
material that is posted to YouTube, direct from TV or other material that you
know is not the work of the poster. However, they may be cracking down on
that a bit now since it seems to be less than it was.
I still much prefer Blip, but for those who are
unable to see the stuff I post to Blip, YouTube is a nice compromise, for me
anyway. It seems to be getting better in the last month.

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.

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.
