Andreas, I understand your perspective, and respect and find your methods interesting, but there's thousands and thousands of people who disagree with your idea of best practices.
Alternatively... I think getting all my vlogs automatically downloaded and synced to my video ipod is the best thing ever. I watch them on my TV while working on my laptop, and through mefeedia am able to easily work, or if I see something interesting... quickly find the original post and follow up on it. The disconnect that I thought would happen do to putting videos on TV has NOT happened in fact... I find i can comment and follow more vlogs. If I miss something I just hit the pause button or rewind on the iPod... if I am bored with a clip I skip it... All the while I can follow along on mefeedia on my laptop... tagging things, marking favorites... following up on links from Steve G.'s Vlog soup.. or rocketboom's links. All we need to do in my opinion is make it even easier to follow along through mefeedia with what's happening on the TV by improving our web based queue and our RSS queue which plays back through the video ipod. Finally, I also like embedded flash for in browser play back, as probably does Jay.. that's not the problem... the problem is when there is NO alternative link. It drives me up the wall. How can I download it... how can I rip it to my ipod, how can I share it with a friend... No this sort of flash playback is not going away... but video blogging is at least putting a serious dampner on DRM'd and locked down files like this and encouraging more openess and portability... which means more flexibility, increased accessibility, and enhanced useability. -Mike On Dec 23, 2005, at 5:49 AM, Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen wrote: On Fri, 23 Dec 2005 07:42:08 +0100, Jay dedman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > i wonder if these Embedded Flash players will last? > i obviously keep seeing aggregated video as being the way to go. > all the video i watch ive downloaded through subscription....not gone > to web pages to watch Flash videos. Embedded video is the best viewing experience for web video. It won't go away. For blog entries that mixes video with other forms (text, images) embedded video is much nicer. And it actually fits into the web context. I've never downloaded a video through subscription. I will start once I find videos I watch like a watch tv... passively. When I find videos where I don't want to (or can't) be a part of a dialogue around the videos. I use RSS to be notified if a blog has updated. It's great for that. - Andreas -- <URL:http://www.solitude.dk/> Commentary on media, communication, culture and technology. Yahoo! Groups Links ------------------------ Yahoo!
