I'd gladly pick up some overtime to buy one of these puppies, but we 
don't actually own a television set. Anyone know whether I can add 
Apple TV to our lives with an InFocus digital projector? 

I feel so strongly that it would work (that might just be the power 
of The Wish) but the Apple site just says television, television, 
television all over it. Not a word about projectors anyplace.

Weird that.  You'd think they'd be wanting to sell the home cinema  
dream.
It will work fine.  It has a component video out and standard RCA  
audio outputs as well as HDMI, if you have compatibility for that on  
your projector.

I got my brother in law kitted up with a Windows Media Center this  
weekend - he only has a projector, no TV, and it was super easy.  Ran  
a component video signal out from his standard Nvidia graphics card  
to his projector and audio to his surround sound box - badabing.   
Same for the Apple TV - it will have all the outputs you need.

Windows Media Center looks great so far, and (I've said it before)  
seems a better bet to me than Apple TV. He can put his cable TV  
through it, record on it, as well as do all the photo, music and  
video management, and play DVDs.  Easy to set up to pick up  
videoblogs and podcasts through Newsgator in the Online Spotlight  
part of Media Center.

He has music imported into both iTunes and Windows Media so that he  
can see which he likes best.  He uses the Windows Media remote, and  
we are going to try to do what Steve Watkins was talking about - get  
a Wii remote working as a point-and-click wand for his projector  
screen. Which would be very cool.

What's sometimes difficult to understand in the digital group dynamic is
that you can always step up and fill in the gaps. Just do it. No one needs
blessings or permission.

That said, feedback is often good.

In this case there's room and opportunity for YouTube ambassadors to reach

Re: [videoblogging] My videoblogging roots and today's NYTimes article

2007-03-26 Thread Richard (Show) Hall
Josh,

You damn chalk terrorist. How do we know that white substance wasn't some
sort of poison or bomb material?

Ok, honestly, this is amazing, I watched the footage and got the gist of the
article.

I would feel pretty weird about this, if I were you and, in fact, I feel
pretty weird about it and I'm me.

The positive side is that you do have so much on record, and it's definately
a wake up call (in a series of recent wake up calls, including Josh Wolf)
for all of us.

... Richard

On 25 Mar 2007 10:06:10 -0700, Joshua Kinberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

   Today, I'm unsure how to react to this news -- having your person,
 property and rights violated is an unsettling experience. Would
 definitely like to hear your thoughts on this as I'm processing the
 information.

 On Friday morning, I was informed by a NYTimes reporter that recent
 documents uncovered just how far the NYPD went to suppress Free Speech
 -- mine and others -- at the Republican Convention in 2004. Here's
 what the NYTimes reported in the Sunday edition:

 City Police Spied Broadly Before G.O.P. Convention
 
 http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/25/nyregion/25infiltrate.html?ex=1332561600en=3af0cd0ac568e430ei=5124partner=permalinkexprod=permalink
 

 Bikes Against Bush http://www.bikesagainstbush.com was my graduate
 thesis project, a combination of mechanical engineering, WiFi,
 interactive mobile messaging, and videoblogging. It was featured in
 Popular Science magazine for the engineering design of the bicycle
 that printed chalk text messages sent through SMS and from my website
 onto streets and sidewalks in NYC.

 Apparently, the NYPD considered this project to be a threat and was
 determined to shut it down. They had a copy of the Popular Science
 article in a file along with 4 pages of notes as to why my project was
 a threat. This led to my bizarre arrest, which happened on national
 television while I was being interviewed by Ron Reagan on MSNBC's
 Hardball.

 I was arrested with no crime being committed. Just simply plucked from
 the street, jailed for 24 hours, and my computer, cell phone and
 bicycle confiscated and held for over a year (the bicycle was never
 returned). The fake charges against me were dropped 6 months later.

 The NYTimes article confirms what I had long suspected -- that the
 NYPD was unlawfully conducting surveillance of artists, activists, and
 others seeking to exercise free speech at the RNC convention in 2004.

 Here are the videos:

 The Bike Project
 http://www.bikesagainstbush.com/blog/iloveny.mov

 The Arrest -- Street Footage
 http://www.bikesagainstbush.com/blog/bikesarrest.mov

 MSNBC Interview
 http://www.bikesagainstbush.com/blog/msnbc_8-29-2004_med1.mov

 BikesAgainstBush was important because it was one of the earliest
 demonstrations of the power of the blogosphere to distribute video --
 the raw street-footage of the arrest circulated around the blogosphere
 and was viewed by millions of people both before and after the edited
 version aired on MSNBC's Hardball.

 Immediately after this project, I began working on software to
 distribute video via RSS. I met Jay Dedman around this time in NYC,
 and we began working together. This became ANT (ANT's Not Television)
 and later FireAnt http://FireAnt.tv.

 I wanted to share my thoughts here, in the videoblogging community, as
 I'm reflecting today on the state of media, how far we've come and the
 work that remains...

 Best,
 Josh

have contaced Bliip support and I am told they noticed tag lines 
missing in feed.  It's been siince early yesterday and have heard 
nothing from blip support.  Very frustrating as iTunes is 48% of my 
viership.  Honestly I'm frustrated and BUMMING!!!

  Help with suggestions would be greatly apprecaitedI've pretty

Nice writeup, Ryan.

Is anyone planning to change the specs on their videoblog because of
Apple TV?  According to The Apple Store http://tinyurl.com/372a86,
it accepts H.264 up to 5Mbps at 1280x720 @ 24fps.

Yes.  No sport at all.  Take any show with any topic and put
attractive women/girls in it, and you'll have guys that watch the show
just to see the girls. :)  NO interest whatsoever in what the topic is
or what she said.  They could probably tell you more about what she
was (or wasn't) wearing than what the episode was about. :D

Still, assuming you're correct that women aren't taking advantage of
this, they really should be.  Porno chicks have relatively short-lived
careers because they can't maintain their body-types for more than a
few years.  They should be able to parlay their industry experience
into production or managerial positions instead of hitting the
has-been strip club circuit.

It's a very interesting (and hard) question... I think it deserves
investigation.

  'used' to drive interest in shows or websites, but other than being
  hired as on-air talent, they're probably not too involved in the
  process.
 
  I wonder how tough it would be for a group of women to get together
  and create a production company or whatever to 'exploit' their own
  (meaning women in general, not THE women of the production company.
  :D) aesthetic advantages.
 
  A possible reason why not is that ambitious women wouldn't be inclined
  to 'stoop so low' to add to the stereotype of utilizing sex or
  sexuality to make a profit.
 
  Who knows?
 
  Interesting question. :D

Im guessing those sorts of resolutions and bitrates will cause files
to be too large for most to consider, so I doubt the masses will
change to a higher res/bitrate, but hopefulyl a few vlogs that
specialise in HD will offer such versions.

The stuff about 1280x only working at 24fps is a little crazy, sort of
a bad point for their box to run out of decoding power, especially as
apples quicktime conversion option defaults to lowering the res to
960x540 rather than messing with the framerate, if your source
material is 30fps.

Be careful because there are a lot of projects that dont have DMI or

The wii controller thing is going fine, just need a cheap USB
bluetooth dongle and a few bits of software. Using it as a pointer

  definitely like to hear your thoughts on this as I'm processing the
  information.
 
  On Friday morning, I was informed by a NYTimes reporter that recent
  documents uncovered just how far the NYPD went to suppress Free Speech
  -- mine and others -- at the Republican Convention in 2004. Here's
  what the NYTimes reported in the Sunday edition:
 
  City Police Spied Broadly Before G.O.P. Convention

  Bikes Against Bush http://www.bikesagainstbush.com was my graduate
  thesis project, a combination of mechanical engineering, WiFi,
  interactive mobile messaging, and videoblogging. It was featured in
  Popular Science magazine for the engineering design of the bicycle
  that printed chalk text messages sent through SMS and from my website
  onto streets and sidewalks in NYC.
 
  Apparently, the NYPD considered this project to be a threat and was
  determined to shut it down. They had a copy of the Popular Science
  article in a file along with 4 pages of notes as to why my project was
  a threat. This led to my bizarre arrest, which happened on national
  television while I was being interviewed by Ron Reagan on MSNBC's
  Hardball.
 
  I was arrested with no crime being committed. Just simply plucked from
  the street, jailed for 24 hours, and my computer, cell phone and
  bicycle confiscated and held for over a year (the bicycle was never
  returned). The fake charges against me were dropped 6 months later.
 
  The NYTimes article confirms what I had long suspected -- that the
  NYPD was unlawfully conducting surveillance of artists, activists, and
  others seeking to exercise free speech at the RNC convention in 2004.
 
  Here are the videos:

  MSNBC Interview
  http://www.bikesagainstbush.com/blog/msnbc_8-29-2004_med1.mov
 
  BikesAgainstBush was important because it was one of the earliest
  demonstrations of the power of the blogosphere to distribute video --
  the raw street-footage of the arrest circulated around the blogosphere
  and was viewed by millions of people both before and after the edited
  version aired on MSNBC's Hardball.
 
  Immediately after this project, I began working on software to
  distribute video via RSS. I met Jay Dedman around this time in NYC,
  and we began working together. This became ANT (ANT's Not Television)
  and later FireAnt http://FireAnt.tv.
 
  I wanted to share my thoughts here, in the videoblogging community, as
  I'm reflecting today on the state of media, how far we've come and the
  work that remains...

[videoblogging] Re: Apple TV

2007-03-26 Thread Steve Watkins
Oops sorry about the typos in that message, I meant projector and HDMI.


Oooh I wasnt at all interested in an Apple TV for myself due to not
wanting to have to reencode other formats before being able to watch
them, but the wikipedia entry for Apple TV has this line...

Shortly after Apple TV was in the hands of users, various Apple news
sites reported that hacking the device to play the Xvid video format
is possible by removing the hard drive, installing it into a Mac and
installing the proper software and drivers. 

And the spec of the hardware has been worked out now, its a bit more
like a full computer than I realised:

# Intel Pentium-M Crofton Processor[1] (based on Pentium-M Dothan)

* 1.0 GHz
* 2 MiB of L2 cache
* 350 MHz underclocked system bus

# NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 (64 MB VRAM) 
# 256 MB of 400 MHz DDR2 SDRAM 
# 40 GB hard disk 
# USB 2.0 (for diagnostic use only)

Time will tell how hackable it is, maybe not so much but the xvid
thing sounds like a promising start.

Anyway sorry for sounding harsh about Windows Media Center again, its
not that bad, I just dont think you can compare like for like. The
Apple TV is more like a media center extender than a full PC windows
media center, and this is reflected in the price.

Seems like it uses a 48Watt power supply, which isnt awful although
when I monitored the G5 2Ghz iMac 20 it was using about 78Watts when
just doing some casual websurfing,, and that includes the backlight
for the screen. We'll find out what disgusting wattage my fairly
modest 26 LCD TV uses during vlog week if I get my finger out.

Hmm maybe I will shutup and go and try Vista's Media Center for format
compatibility like I said I was gonna the other week.

Also dunno if you remember that PC-inside-a-LCD-TV that I linked to
the other week, but I saw a recent Mac rumor that suggested the next
iMac may have a TV tuner  other features, so maybe that will be
equivalent and a farier comparison to a Windows Mdia Center if its true.

2007-03-26 Thread Steve Watkins
Thanks for drawing attention to the positives of the group, all too
easy to not mention things that are ok, but praises should be sung so
fir play :)

Compared to many other groups Ive knows, the elitist label is indeed
bullshit. Ive already said why I dont think its true, and the few
areas where maybe theres something in it, and should be looked into
further. 

It would be a tad melodramatic to say that a berlin-wall like
structure exists between 'oldschool videobloggers' and youtubers, but
all the same there are some gaps and I appluad those whove posted very
recently to discuss the idea of promoting videoblogweek on youtube,
bingo! Im not sure how it will go down with people there but hopefully
someone has the balls to try.

As for me, well Hodders, Im not exactly known for being much of a
do-er. So I may well be annoying if Im seen to be forever standing at
the sideline barking instructions at those who are actually doing
stuff and really dont need me telling them how to think  act. What
others have been able to achieve is even more amazing to me because I
dont think I could come anywhere close to that stuff, so I am often in
awe. But I mostly talk a lot when Im being negative so that is
overlooked. My points in this case were really to try to have a
conversation about what else could be done, specifically in terms of
reaching out to people who have not been touched at all by the last
2.5 years. I love the node's and Im curious how active they are simply
because they dont get talked about so much here these days. I suppose
all the people that tried hard to get the mainstream media to write
articles about vlogging in the past, gave interviews etc, have done a
lot to raise awareness. And again this used to be talked about a
little more in the past, when it was new, so Im not sure to what
extent it continues today. Maybe its easier for mainstream presss to
be lazy now because they can talk about vlogging using more familar
story geners/formulas - eg shows that get their creators picked up by
big media, the business success of youtube, etc? I quite liked it when
Time said the person of the year waas 'you' but it seemed to get quite
a lot of stick, some said it was a copout!

As for me I'll just have to hope an existing youtuber can spread the
videoblogweek word, cos Ive got to learn to help myself before I can
really try to encourage others to vlog.

[videoblogging] Times Online: The Empires Strike Back

http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/the_web/article1572023.ece?openComment=true

The video website created by NBC and News Corp is a statement of
belief in the power of the professional to stand up to amateur video

Its a strange article that threw me completely in the last paragraph
and left me unsure exactly what it was saying. Some of the old
criticisms and attitudes about personal video, wishing to paint
amateur vs professional as a battle, seemingly hoping to see a version
of youtube thats stripped of professional media, and suffers massively
as a result, proving how insignificant amateur video really is. But
then acknowledges the potential of democratic distribution and
individual star-power at the end.

Wibble!

Is there any sort of site out there that allows people to select times
 locations on a map that theyd like people to go and report from,
photograph or video? 

OK I know this wouldnt work too good without enough people and enough
of their spare time, but has it been tried on a limited scale with any
medium that anybody knows of?

[videoblogging] Re: Times Online: The Empires Strike Back

2007-03-26 Thread Bill Cammack
I think you're right.  The last paragraph is confusing because it's
hedging.  He mentions that Amanda is an internet star and that she
joined ABC... and then he doesn't draw any conclusions from that.

The article skims over the entire genre of sit in front of my webcam
videos by saying there is clearly a lot of appeal for many people in
connecting to others and sharing things online.  It's not just the
piracy and one-off accident videos that fuels YT.  It's also the
feeling of being connected to whomever you subscribe to.  Regardless
of how many times you watch an MSM video, whether it's on the internet
or not, you're not going to learn A THING about the actors.

It also talks about the battle, as you put it, when there really IS
no battle.  Talent is Talent.  Period.  MSM has no corner on the
market of TALENT, and it never will, merely by its own proceeses of
selection.  If you're physically unattractive, or are deemed
unmarketable for some other reason by the powers that be, you can have
all the talent in the world, and you're not going to end up on
television.  Yes, there are roles that call for goofy guys or
overweight girls or what-have-you, but for the most part, when you
look at MSM shows, you see attractive, in-shape, intelligent
(according to the script) individuals.  By self-definition, MSM
excludes the vast majority of the population.  Internet distribution
makes it so that someone with talent can express themselves without
having to go to casting calls or having headshots or acting lessons or
a degree in ANYTHING at all.  That leaves tons of talented people in
the wild with the ability to make anything they want and distribute
it world-wide on the same day that they create it.

How many times have you ended up in a park somewhere, and there was
some musician that was clearly more talented than people you've heard
on records and you wondered How come THIS person doesn't have a
deal?  Maybe they don't want on, but maybe they weren't OFFERED one,
because they're not seen as marketable.  At this point, it doesn't
matter.  They could do a world-wide concert every single week.

2007-03-26 Thread Steve Watkins
Thanks, interesting, and Id not seen any conversations here about
anything that happened at VON so far.

I dont suppose there was anybody there looking at models not involving
advertising were there? Has anybody done any market research to see if
there are enough viewers out there who object to being sold to
advertisers by the show producers or networks? 

I dont think I can ever attend a show like this because the first time
someone mentioned fame being a currency or how I can have a deeper
meaningful human relationship with my bank, there would be a strange
noise coming out just below my nose, and I would have to leave lol.
But thats just a person preference that I overstate, did I see a
company in that vid thats trying automatic product injection?  Steve
Garfield was a breath of fresh air in that video. That subtitling
service is interesting if they can get enough people to use it.

Anything else from VON? Nobody here talked about that pulver net video
freedom petition or the network2 contest winners, and I saw some press
release about a Veoh-neetwork2 partnership, was much else
video-related announced? 

Cheers

Oh... and btw...  I think this is sort of vindication for people who said
the vloggies were marginalized and all the real action was on youtube...
obviously we're not too marginalized if one of our vloggers one the youtube
awards.

Next year... I hope more youtubers will be included in the videobloggies.

I'm pretty sure we'll see more and more of the top youtube stars the so
called professionals move their primary presence outside of youtube for
obvious reasong (monetization, cough) and just maintain their youtube
presence as another way to keep in touch.

No matter how big the myspaces and youtubes get the heart is always in the
open-sphere because for obvious reasons that where the innovation
happens... Open source, blogging, podcasting, and vidoeblogging.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Video on the Net 2007 recap video VON07

2007-03-26 Thread Jim Long
Steve,

I covered the network2 grand prize winner.  Hell, I got the money shot!  I 
filed video every day...TWICE on Tuesday.  Poke around my site and you'll see 
the posts. My interest was in the business opportunity there.  There were a 
whole range of interests represented there from changing the world to taking 
over the world (of media at least).  I fall somewhere in the middle.

Subject: [videoblogging] Re: Video on the Net 2007 recap video VON07

Thanks, interesting, and Id not seen any conversations here about
anything that happened at VON so far.

I dont suppose there was anybody there looking at models not involving
advertising were there? Has anybody done any market research to see if
there are enough viewers out there who object to being sold to
advertisers by the show producers or networks? 

I dont think I can ever attend a show like this because the first time
someone mentioned fame being a currency or how I can have a deeper
meaningful human relationship with my bank, there would be a strange
noise coming out just below my nose, and I would have to leave lol.
But thats just a person preference that I overstate, did I see a
company in that vid thats trying automatic product injection?  Steve
Garfield was a breath of fresh air in that video. That subtitling
service is interesting if they can get enough people to use it.

Anything else from VON? Nobody here talked about that pulver net video
freedom petition or the network2 contest winners, and I saw some press
release about a Veoh-neetwork2 partnership, was much else
video-related announced? 

Cheers

Steve Elbows

[videoblogging] Re: iTunes trouble and BlipTV feed

2007-03-26 Thread humancloner1997
I've had repeated trouble uploading .mov Quicktime files to Blip that
I've managed to upload without problems at Veoh  YouTube.

I understand where you are coming from.  I use Blip to cross post to
my vlog which is the way most people see my videos.

The people at Blip are really nice dedicated folks.  Let's face it,
they give us something for nothing and don't infringe copyrights, etc.

They are really at the spiritual center' of the vlogging movement in
so many ways.  Those really involved in all this have Blips in our
heart for Blip.TV :-)

However, I know how upsetting ti is when something that has worked so
well in the past and that you have come to take for granted suddenly
devcelops a bug that threatens to bring down your entire vlogging
dreamworld.

I haven't even explored features like crossposting that I believe are
offerred by sites like Veoh (where I also post).

If Ryanne Hodson and Jay Dedman hadn't been volunteering at the NYC
ashort-lived Node101 storefront on weekends back in the fall of 2005,
I'm not sure I would have ever even gotten my RSS feed up and running.

I still haven't figured out how to add a description to it in
Feedburner or MeFeedia so I really don't get the subscriptions I might.

None of us should put all our eggs in one basket.  That is why I
post on three sites: Blip, Veoh  YouTube.  

Each site offers something special.  Blip is great at crossposting. 
Veoh has an educated and cultured viewership I've not found elsewhere
 allows you to publish v ideos of any length.  YouTube has the
masses--most of whom are mindless consumers.

YouTube is like a mammoth garbage dump with crown jewels buried here
and there.  If you know how to searchg, use subscriptions  favorites,
etc. and you're willing to settle for low quality videos if you use
SnapzPro to capture videos from the Internet, YouTube has real things
to offer too.

I'd personally like to know more about Google  some of the other
hosting sites folks use and what their opinions are regarding them.

Originally, I stuck strictly with Blip because I thought I might want
to use my videos in a commercial documentary.  Then I got corrupted
by the much greater traffic and reactions I could get to my videos on
Veoh and YouTube.

At this point, for me, my message is the medium, and I've really
stopped caring about ownership rights, etc.  I want to share my videos
with as many people as I can find to watch them.

That said, my heart still belongs to Blip and I'll put up with as many
shortcomings as I can before seeking other options.  I really hope
that day never comes.  I would like to see Blip be the next big thing.

 and all previous episodes download.  I pinged my site an get a

   I went to FeedValidator and compared a working episode with my most

 have contaced Bliip support and I am told they noticed tag lines 
 missing in feed.  It's been siince early yesterday and have heard 
 nothing from blip support.  Very frustrating as iTunes is 48% of my 
 viership.  Honestly I'm frustrated and BUMMING!!!
 
   Help with suggestions would be greatly apprecaitedI've pretty

 Oh... and btw... I think this is sort of vindication for people who said
 the vloggies were marginalized and all the real action was on youtube...
 obviously we're not too marginalized if one of our vloggers one the
 youtube
 awards.

 Next year... I hope more youtubers will be included in the videobloggies.

 I'm pretty sure we'll see more and more of the top youtube stars the so
 called professionals move their primary presence outside of youtube for
 obvious reasong (monetization, cough) and just maintain their youtube
 presence as another way to keep in touch.

 No matter how big the myspaces and youtubes get the heart is always in the
 open-sphere because for obvious reasons that where the innovation
 happens... Open source, blogging, podcasting, and vidoeblogging.

[videoblogging] It's official, I came fourth. And VON.

2007-03-26 Thread Mark Day
Ninja shminja!

I came fourth for best commentary in the YouTube Awards and now, as an
acnoweldged expert in the field of commentating, will be replacing Joe
Thisemann in the Monday Night Football booth.

Take that, pyjama-wearing first-placers!

The phone, so far, has not been ringingff the hook, so presumably the media
have gone stealth.

I also filed a VON report (austensibly for The Daily Reel's new-ish podcast)
the (not that) long version of which features Bubbe from Feed Me Bubbe and
me spouting some sexist shite about booth babes.   And Chris Brogan's Best
Start Up Idea Ever.  Considering I have been a bit cheeky about
videobloggers on this list in the past, I met a lot of nice videobloggers...
