Network Outage

Our main Internet provider has acknowledged that a key piece of network
equipment failed about 1 hour ago. I’ve been working with them and the
facility to track down the problem.

Their engineering team is working on the problem and should have it resolved
shortly.

[videoblogging] Ze Frank and Creative Commons

2009-05-15 Thread Eddie Codel
I was luckily enough be invited to a research exchange seminar thing at the
Institute for the Future yesterday. They're a nonprofit that does short and
long term forecasting of trends among many online things, including video.
Ze Frank was there and had a few things to say about Creative Commons and
what he sees as appropriation of his content. I've known that Ze's been down
on CC for awhile, mainly because he doesn't see CC helping independents get
paid, but this is the first time I've seen him talk passionately about it in
a room full of people. Would be curious if other creators here have similar
thoughts.

[videoblogging] Spike Lee chats w/bloggers vloggers

I had the extreme luck of being included in a little roundtable qa with
uber brilliant filmmaker Spike Lee yesterday. We asked him about the
influences of social networks, online video distribution, cell phones, cheap
shooting  editing tools on film making. He's a bit of a Luddite when it
comes to using these tools himself, but definitely sees the positive
gamechanging nature of them for others. Here's an excerpt of the interview.

[videoblogging] Contribute to a Spike Lee movie with your cell phone

2008-08-10 Thread Eddie Codel
Hi video freaks. Please excuse the commercial interruption but I think some
of you might be interested in this. I've been working on a project with
Nokia and Spike Lee with the goal of creating a short movie (10-20 minutes)
from users with cell phones. The overall theme of the piece is HUMANITY and
it's broken down into three acts, Birth, Life and Death. The theme and
framework is Spike's idea. We are now in the third and final act, Death, and
to encourage greater participation we are challenging people to remake or
swede (as in Be Kind, Rewind) death scenes from their favorite movies using
their cell phones.

I am one of five assistant directors who are working to cull through the
bullshit and try to highlight some of the good stuff as well as guide people
through the submission process. The stuff submitted so far hasn't really
been stellar, so this is where you come in. The five ADs each get to pick
someone from the pool of submissions to fly out to the movie's premiere in
LA in October. Hotels and flights all covered by Nokia, anywhere within the
continental US that is. You'll get the satisfaction of seeing your remake
possibly making it into the final cut, hang out in LA  and shmooze it up
with Spike Lee. The catch is you need to have your sweded scene done and
uploaded to the Nokia Productions site by August 20th, which is in like 10
days. Any cell phone is fair game, doesn't have to be Nokia.

I'm not getting paid for any of this but am being compensated with the use
of a couple loaner phones and the promise of being flown down to LA for the
premiere and of course, getting to work with Spike Lee.  I'm sure Spike is
getting paid for his image being used though he genuinely likes the idea of
a collaborative film where anyone can participate. Hopefully, he'll still
love it when it comes time to edit everything.

I encourage anyone to give it a shot and shoot me an email if you need help
getting going. Also point me to your stuff when it's up so I can take a
look. I'd love to be able to give away the LA trip to someone on this list.
You LA people should do it too, I'm sure Nokia will pop for your bus fair!
More details and how to upload your content is on the Nokia Productions
site, which uses Jumpcut for video hosting/remixing. Make sure to tag your
submission 'famousdeathscenes' so it'll be considered for the free trip.

 Anonymous makes it on to NPR:

 http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=18764756

 
 The anti-Scientology group Anonymous told NBC11 Monday it
   expected
 more than 300,000 people to join protests worldwide on Feb. 10th at
 11am.

 The campaign is going amazingly -- swimmingly at the moment. We
   are
 in the organizational stages, a woman who would not give her name
 told NBC11. We are having members of Anonymous from all over the
 world join the protest at their local church of Scientology at 11
 a.m. local time.

 Other people claiming to be members of Anonymous told NBC11 that
   the
 actual number of Scientology protesters worldwide will not reach
 300,000. The actual number of people who show up for the rallies
 could be much less, they said.

 The group members said out of the 24 time zones, there are 17 that
 have Churches of Scientology.

 Of the 24 time zones there are 17 that have a church located in
   them
 and we believe our protesting is happening in 15 of those 17, said
 the group member. We have a map that people can log in to and say
 what protest they're going to at the current moment. At last
   count we
 expect 300,000 at all the protests. Everyone in the world is
   invited.
 We're trying to get support from local organizations.

 Anonymous claims the Church of Scientology forces members to have
 abortions as well as sign over their bank accounts.

 We think it's wrong that they have tax exempt status, the member
 told NBC11. We want to to see if we can get that looked into by
   the
 IRS -- who ever we can gain the ear of. Are they really a religious
 organization or a business?

 The member of Anonymous said her organization is attempting to
   change
 its approach because it first gained attention as a group of
 hackers and pranksters.

 The group said it now plans to engage in activities that fight
 against Scientology, but are not considered illegal by the U.S.
 government. The member told NBC11 that she is not an actual hacker
 herself, but rather someone providing other means of support to
 Anonymous.

 The member said Anonymous is planning to hold large monthly
   protests
 against Scientology at its churches each month until May.

 She said the group is drawing up plans for more protests after
   that.

 The group member said Anonymous would hold another large protest
   two
 days after church founder L. Ron Hubbard's birthday on March 15.

Andrew man, do you really have to lay a long ass email like that on me?
Give a vidbro a break, wouldya? It's still the holidays for some people.
Damn, now I gotta formulate answers

You make a lot of assumptions about us and my role at PodTech, Let me just
lay the ground work a bit so you have a better understanding. I get a sense
of an almighty you suck tone in your response. I'll try not to let that
color my reply to you.

Producing GETV was only one part of my job at PodTech. Other parts were
shooting  editing corporate content for PodTech's paying clients, shooting
 editing o' plenty of Scoble's show before he got editors and later
producing LunchMeet. Irina similarly had other things on her plate outside
of GETV. Producing GETV was never to be our full-time job, nor was it to be
a daily show in my mind. Please keep this in perspective as you read on.

 Just a side track I guess on what may be a rhetorical question but a
 question nonetheless:

 On Dec 26, 2007, at 2:18 PM, Eddie Codel wrote:

  How many
  people do you think it takes to put out a daily Rocketboom episode?


 In context of your show on Podtech, along with the very nice budget
 that you had, as well as all of the business worries on someone
 else's watch, I would suggest just two, as you had. I think three is
 a great production number for a team but your budget would of been
 able to support more talent, it was up to you to determine the
 creative side I think. Over time, the success of the show is pretty
 much in your hands. Its all about the content and what you can do
 with your time. Of course there are a huge mound of barriers and
 bureaucracies and things that are truly not fair that get in the way,
 but I still think, at the end of the day, its what you can produce,
 content-wise that must build its own support.

 It seems like this must be the perspective or mind-set that you would
 need to be the most effective under the situation of deciding to go
 with a network like Podtech.


Chalk it up to false expectations then, I'll take the hit for that.

Andrew,  I applaud your ability to pull off making a great daily show with
such little resources. Our show was something that Irina and I pulled out of
collective asses, not something with a grand vision or plan from the
beginning.  I never saw it as a daily show and we didn't have the time to
make it a daily show even we wanted that. Again, our time was split at
PodTech.


 Correct me if Im wrong, but I always saw Podtech as a record label
 that supports artists, not entrepreneurs or business people. It was
 meant for the people who dont want to deal with all the business,
 they just want to do one thing: make great content. If they just can
 do that one thing well, they are entrusting the record label to do
 the rest. Its more intertwined than that really, but thats the gist
 of what I mean to say. The record label of course expects or at least
 hopes that the artist will make some kind of work that allot of
 people will want to see.


Interesting comparison and maybe apt if we actually did get support. Record
labels also help their artists grow. They know what it takes to produce work
that a lot of people will want to hear. PodTech was not that record label.


 With Rocketboom in particular, we do not have the support of a
 network. So its different, we do all of the business and try to grow
 everything ourselves. Along with some help from Josh Kinberg and
 Kenyatta Cheese, I pretty much did the whole thing daily myself for
 the first 6 months with Amanda Congdon pitching in a couple of hours
 per show. Eventually we we were both doing it full time. While I had
 some editing support here and there, after one year, I hired a full
 time editor. So after one year, we went from two to three. The growth
 of the audience and the demand for time to grow the business
 supported the growth of additional people.


So let me ask, how did you and Amanda pay your rent that first year? How did
you feed yourselves? If you didn't have the support of a network, how did
you manage to pay the bills while doing this full time?


 From an artistic perspective, it's very draining to research, write,
 direct, edit and publish every day by yourself (keep this point in
 mind, I'm about to drive it home). Then, we hired Ellie to help
 assist me with all of the business stuff (she is still with us and
 has way grown out of that role).




 After Amanda left, I eventually hired support to help get the whole
 business together, tight, up to date and clear. Now we are growing as
 we manage other projects as well. We were and still are in a start-up
 mentality which is a different kind of place to be for us, compared
 to an artists who just needs a place to do their art.

 The thing I figured out over time - and this is the main point I
 wanted to share - is that it only takes one or two but you have to
 factor in endurance. Its

I agree with this. That's one thing I could never understand. Why did
PodTech feel the need to hire an engineering team to reinvent the wheel?
Seems like they could have licensed any number of flash players/hosting
platforms that were 2 years ahead in development with features already
vetted and baked out. I recall pitching a white label blip.tv very early on.
Then Castfire appeared, again developed way ahead of PT's roadmap but with
all the features, dynamic ad insertion and reporting PT could need. I got

think was a big mistake.

[videoblogging] New monthly video event in SF this Friday 12/14

2007-12-13 Thread Eddie Codel
Hello vlogerati,

I'm organizing a new monthly video salon series in San Francisco called
Video Salon Redux that takes place this Friday the 14th. Yeah I know, sorry
for the short notice. Details here:

http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/334862/

The idea behind this is to create a space where video artists, bloggers,
editors, animators, machinamists, serialists and anyone else can present
their projects. This is partly modeled afer Dorkbot, a similar open event
focused on hardware hacking and doing strange things with electricity. The
format is simple: 3 curated 15 minute presentations on a particular theme.
Following a break there will be an open period where anyone can come and
show a video or a work in progress in 5 minutes.  The hope is presenters and
attendees will be inspired by each other to create and maybe collaborate.

This months theme is documenting your passion and many of you already know
our presenters:

:: Doctor Popular
http://www.doctorpopular.com/

:: Oscar Grimm, Tanja Andrews  Barb Finnin of Freshtopia.net
http://www.freshtopia.net

:: Jay Dedman  Ryanne Hodson
http://ryanishungry.com

So if you're in San Francisco this Friday, please come out. If not, we'll be
doing it again in January. If you're interested in presenting at future
Video Salon, drop me a line.

6:30 :: doors, shmooze, drink (cash bar)
7:30 :: presentations
8:30 :: open video: 5 minutes to show us your thing

Dimension 7 Studios
150 Folsom Street
San Francisco

see you there!

[videoblogging] Has anyone worked with Bret Branon?

2007-07-30 Thread Eddie Codel
Does anyone know Bret Branon of Westpark Foundries? He's reached out to us a
couple times over the past year, wanting us (GETV) to sign an exclusive
distribution deal for IPTV, VOD  and mobile, that he will represent us in
those areas and make us loads of cash.

This email is indicative of his strategy. He dangles a carrot but when I say
ok, let's pursue this 5k Sprint deal, he demands we sign the 1 year
exclusive contract first, without any guarantee that the carrot exists. He
smells like an Internet used car salesman who's been watching too much
Entourage.

Anyone else have dealings with him?

  Irina,

  I think I can get you at least 5k a month to put your show on Sprint
mobile phones if we can provide them 10 minutes of original content each
month.

  Sign a contract with me and let me have an exclusive for one year to
pimp you out in the marketplace.

   Attached is a contract.

1.  Yer tha shit.
2.  One year exclusive.
3.  70-30 You.
4.  IPTV, VOD, and mobile.

  You guys still do whatever you want with the show I will not get in the
way of your existing marketing efforts.
  If you find a better deal without me or before I find you one, we'll
tear up the contract.
  Just give me a chance to develop those ancillary markets for your

and financially.

Re: [videoblogging] What's the most efficient way to gather clips from myriad online video services?

2007-06-19 Thread Eddie Codel
Snapz Pro is what you want. Definitely worth the $70. I use it all the time.
It lets you adjust frame rate, capture size, save in multiple file formats,
has hotkey quick launch. It is a needed tool in the arsenal of the web video
masher upper. If the video can be displayed on your screen, Snapz Pro can
capture it.

 I'm working on a new video-critiquing clip show (a bit like the Daily
 Reel or the Clip Show, but with huge differences).

 I'm making two or three episodes a week. In each episode, I need to
 include six to ten clips from a half-dozen videos. I'm grabbing clips
 from YouTube, Blip, College Humor, Vimeo, Quicktime embeds, and
 several other sources.

 So my needs are:
 - Less-than-a-day turnaround
 - Ability to capture any video
 - Decent framerate/audio

 I tried iShowU, $20 to buy and the most commonly recommended program
 for this work, but the program refuses to record at a decent frame
 rate. (By the way, does anyone know YouTube's default frame rate, or
 is that variable?)

 I'll probably buy Snapz Pro, but I wondered if anyone would warn me
 off lest I waste $70 on another broken program.

 Surprisingly, former Daily Reel host Felicia Williams tells me her
 crew used TubeSock. (I've used TubeSock but decided encoding entire
 videos is too slow and inefficient.)

minority. It really is hard for any set of videos to really communicate the
experience of Maker Faire. Even being there in person, there is too much

 Here is a quote from that explanation:
 This issue is important because attempts to limit deep linking are in
 fact risky for two reasons:
 
1.
 
   The policy is at risk of failure. The Web is so large that any
 policy enforcement requires considerable automated support from
 software to be practical. Since a deep link looks like any other link
 to Web software, such automated support is not practical.

Which is why there are computer readable versions of Creative Commons
licenses.  Anyone who builds a complex application that can read,
republish, watermark and slap ads around video content can also figure out a
way to respect copyrights of that content. 

2.
 
   The Web is at the risk of damage. The hypertext architecture of
 the Web has brought substantial benefits to the world at large. The
 onset of legislation and litigation based on confusion between
 identification and access has the potential to impair the future
 development of the Web.A

Look, I'm no fan of government regulation of the Internet and this is
not a technical problem that needs regulating. No one is saying that
deep linking in of itself is a problem.
The confusion lies in that a company can access YOUR content and identify lots 
of revenue by republishing it with advertising.

Description
Brian Conley, Steve Wyshywaniuk and Steve Lieberman of the Alive in 
Baghdad videoblog are in town for the Vloggies. Tonight they'll present 
their project which is devoted to empowering Iraqi citizen journalists 
to share their stories with the world in personal, candid and 
non-bureaucratic ways. They'll give the background on how this project 
came to be, how Iraqis are empowered to contribute and show several 
videos from the project. They'll unveil their new expanded Alive in... 
project. QA will follow.

We'll have some light snacks and drinks. Bring stuff to share if you're 
feeling inclined.
---

Alive in Baghdad was formed to counter the sound-bite driven, ‘Live 
From’ news model. Through the work of a team of Americans and Iraqi 
correspondents on the ground, Alive in Baghdad shows the occupation 
through the voices of Iraqis. Alive in Baghdad brings testimonies from 
individual Iraqis, footage of daily life in Iraq, and short news 
segments from Iraq to you.

In 2005 Brian Conley traveled to the Middle East for two months and 
spent three weeks in Baghdad. After a year of preparation for the trip, 
learning Arabic, and studying the history and culture of Iraq, he went 
to Baghdad to meet Iraqis. Initially Alive in Baghdad chronicled the 
voices of Iraqis, in order to provide a more intimate picture of Iraqi life.

After a second trip to the Middle East this summer, Alive in Baghdad 
provided video cameras, microphones, tapestock, and training to Iraqis 
living in Baghdad. Now these Iraqis are producing a weekly videoblog 
from Baghdad, on topics ranging from protecting their families from 
death squads, to what it is like to be an Iraqi Police officer. These 
Iraqis are Omar Abdullah and Isam Rasheed working full-time, Qasem 
Al-Dulaimi producing some video and a regular text blog, as well as a 
number of other Iraqis collaborating on a currently ad-hoc basis.

Steve Wyshywaniuk is a recent graduate from Philadelphia's Temple 
University with a bachelors degree in Film and Video Arts. He got 
involved with the Alive in Baghdad project last January when he met 
Brian Conley at the yearly National Conference for Organized Resistance, 
he has since helped out with editing videos and organizing the archive.

Stephen Lieberman went to Simon's Rock College with Brian, graduated in 
2003 and started an ecommerce business. He is currently studying civil 
liberties, international law and US military policy at the University of 
Connecticut. He also runs a small recording studio part-time in Hartford 
and is working on his pilot's license. He is the Chief Operating Officer 
for Small World News under Mr. Conley.

Yes, they use CC NoDerivs so to keep the ad at the end intact.

By default, when you upload a video to Revver, your video is protected
by the Creative Commons license Attribution-NoDerivs 2.5. This means
that people are free to share your video (this is how you make money,
after all) but that they must credit you as the creator and they cannot
change the video without your permission. Unfortunately, the terms of

edit your work and repurpose it however they please. It???s also worth
noting that when you upload a Revverized video to many of these sites,
the ad is stripped out. Removing that ad may actually be violating the

Re: [videoblogging] Legal Question, I think..........

2006-05-23 Thread Eddie Codel



Stephanie, I don't know, I forwarded him the same email you read. Yes, 
EFF isn't generally down with the MPAA's tactics but that doesn't mean 
Jason is going to give incorrect or unethical advice. He just said 
'generally' which is a vague enough answer without knowing the specific 
details of the case, as he says. It seems like the safe thing to do is 
just blur the MPAA goon's face.

Also I believe the private vs public issue involves more than whether an 
event is privately run or on private property. If I go to Macworld and 
there are no signs telling me I can't take photos and no security 
approach me and tell me photos are not allowed, then I don't think 
Macworld organizers could demand I remove photos from my website a week 
later. I don't know if the Motor City situation is similar at all. The 
point I'm making is simply that even in a private space there is some 
responsibility on the private owners to proactively try and prevent me 
from using my camera.

 Also, Heath: remember that Jason is at the EFF, an organization

that are not yet availible (like some TV shows, or shows from
overseas that have not yet been released here), I got some of this on
camera. However, one of the MPAA guys saw me and said he did not
want to be on camera. He basicly, tried to intimate me. Anyway,
what is my legal standing? It was, to my knowledge a public place,
and I was documenting the MPAA and the local police shut down these
vendors. Can I show the footage even though the MPAA guy asked not
to be on camera. If I blur him out am I fine?

Like I said I was just hoping someone here may know something.
Someone said you have to have a release, but I don't nessacary think
that is true because of all those hidden camera things on the

I just ran this by my lawyer pal Jason Schultz @ the EFF and he had this
to say on the matter. Let me know if you want to talk to him directly.

Interesting. Generally, I'd say he's fine to post it. He'd probably 
be even safer if he blurs out the face of the guy who didn't want to be 
on camera. But let him know if he wants to talk to me directly, I can 
give him some real advice when I know more information. But yeah, he 
should definitely find a way to put this up.

sure, but that still requires you to use itunes. they could simply offer
a non-ad streamed version alongside  the ad supported version. let the
consumer decide if it's worth a buck or two to skip the ads. it would be
an interesting experiment at least.

Lessig does give an awesome presentation. He's been shopping that one
around for awhile now. Quite worth seeing if you never have.

GETV interviewed Lessig recently:

http://www.geekentertainment.tv/2006/03/28/lawrence-lessig-just-a-a-lawyer/

It isn't about letting people do 'whatever they want' with a creative
work. It's about broadening the copyright spectrum from the 'all rights 
reserved' model. This doesn't mean that you're giving up the ability to profit 
from your work. Quite the opposite actually, as more people become aware of 
work that they may want to license commercially.

   Hi Group,
   
   I don't typically post videos from YouAreTV in forums, but I think 
  this
   one is very pertinent.
   
   Lawrence Lessig did an introductory talk at the New York Public 
  Library
   about copyright law and technology on April 7, 2005.
   
   http://www.youare.tv/watch.php?id=534

   He says that copyright laws stifle creativity, and democracy.  
  It's an
   idea that begs the question. Would you stop creating what you 
  create if
   someone could just take it and do whatever they wanted with it?  
  The
   content creators I talk to are seeking exposure today, so they are
   willing to place their content wherever they can.  As some of them 
  grow
   in popularity, I am sure that we'll see them become more 
  protective over
   their work.
   
   It's a great presentation.  Lessig is a very smart guy.

   Looks like you have a direct link to their movie with a link back

 In this case, and in the SXSW video, I linked back to their sites. 
 Although I use pop-ups to showcase videos on my other site 
 (http://nyc-tv.com), on The New Media Collective I've elected to use 
 embedded video because 1) it integrates better with the design, and 2) 
 the playing in place feature is just cool. 
 
 Since GETV does use a CC license, and host their videos on blip.tv, 
 there shouldn't be a problem since I did give them credit and linked 
 back to the original post. I would be interested in their input though. 
 As far as SXSW goes, that's another issue. ;-) 

Yes, we're fine with this. I would just ask that you make it a bit more
clear that you're reposting. Maybe change the Posted on Geek
Entertainment TV.. to Originally posted on.. or Reposted from. Also,
use our permalink to the piece, rather than a general link to our site.

I like that you're embedding the vid and linking directly to our
source.  We still get the traffic stats and it looks good on your
site. Yay Internet!

 vPIP (videos Playing In Place) allows the embedding of videos only
 when a link, usually image representing the video, is clicked.  This
 allows a vlog page to load quickly.  Then when the link is clicked,
 the video replaces the link and appears next to the blog text.  vPIP
 supports Quicktime, Windows Media and Flash movies.Those who've
 been on this list, I'm sure have heard me mentioned vPIP several times.
 
 The current version has been tested on Firefox, Internet Explorer 6,
 Opera and Safari.  It works well on all these except on Safari the
 revert feature does not work well, so it's been disabled. The revert
 option makes a prior video that was active revert back to it's link
 information when the next video is selected.  
 
 The blogging systems that vPIP has been tested on are Blogger.com and
 Wordpress.  It should also work on any other blogging system like
 Typepad and website by referencing it's javascript file.  
 
 The installation and usage information is at:
 
 http://www.utilities.cinegage.com/videos-playing-in-place/
 
 In the usage section is an image link to the Generate vPIP flash
 utility that lets you specify the video file, image file and other
 parameters.  Then it generates the code to copy and paste into your
 blog or web site.
 
 Currently I know that Geek Entertainment TV,
 http://www.geekentertainment.tv/, Lo-Fi St. Louis,
 http://lofistl.com/, Tech Alley, http://techalley.cirne.com/ and
 Cirne, http://www.cirne.com/vlog/, are using vPIP.  Have a look at
 those sites to see it in operation.  As of this writing, Geek
 Entertainment TV and Lo-Fi St. Louis are using the prior version of
 vPIP that require the page to completely load for it to go into
 effect.  My sites, Tech Alley and Cirne, are using the new version
 that operates immediately.
 
 Let me know if there's any questions, recommendations for improvements
 or problems.

Re: [videoblogging] audience and RSS

2006-02-23 Thread Eddie Codel
On Thu, Feb 23, 2006 at 01:57:21PM -0500, Josh Leo wrote:
 Let's take GETV for example.
 They started in November of 2005. Their vlog consists of interviews with the
 big name people of the blogosphere that they meet at conferences or in San
 Francisco. Somehow their subscription numbers have shot up very quick. This
 is most likely because the people who are most interested in that
 information are also the people who are using RSS aggregators the most. It
 is somewhat simple reflexive system, if you talk about bloggers, then
 bloggers will talk about you and subscribe to your blog.

Most are not big name, but yes, we do have easy access to some well
known geeks in SF. You have discovered our little secret, cover people
with blogs and they cover you. I'm sure that most of our viewers are
geeks or geekily inclined and that probably does translate to RSS
subscriptions. We do get another 1000 or so views directly from the
website within a few days of a new vid posting, though our blip stats are
totally skewed because of the MSBITS problem.

 Rocketboom seems to dwell in this realm, but at times drifts out into the
 greater world of the internet, I am sure that their forays into the quirky
 snags them a different audience that views content differently (not using
 RSS)

Agreed, but Rocketboom also has a clean inviting interface to view
episodes in a browser. Even though I consume most vlogs via RSS, I
always go to Rocketboom's site to see them.  Maybe it's the easy
access to comments which for me is a big part of the experience.

 I believe that if someone made a videoblog about hiking, their content would
 most likely not be viewed via RSS but my singular page views
 
 RSS is still unknown to the rest of the world, most people I know don't even
 know what an aggreagator is. Many of my friends who have blogs on Xanga or
 Blogger don't even know what a feed is or that they even have one...

I think this fast changing. People don't have to know the terms
'aggregator' or 'RSS feed' to know that itunes is a way to listen and
watch audio and video content. 

 I guess this just goes to show that subscribers is not popularity of
 content, but popularity of content within a select group of people who use
 RSS, therefore the topics that get the most subscribers are the ones that
 are geared more towards the blog/tech/gadget side of the spectrum...

Possibly, but look at the top itunes podcasts. Some of the video podcasts that
bubble up to the top are: Strong Bad Email, Tiki Bar TV, Happy Tree Friends,
Vintage ToonCast.

 Screw subscription numbers, just make content!!!

Totally!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Server stats question

2006-02-18 Thread Eddie Codel
Ah, that explains why my GETV stats are blown out of the water. I get
about 1000 MS BITS requests for every site. Also, browser type 'WXHttp'
reports a high number as well, something like 200 for every site. 

Seems like this would be an easy fix on the blip.tv backend to account for these
patterns, but I often don't know what I'm talking about.

 Andr? here, from TVTonic, the video aggregator featured in Windows
 Media Center's Online Spotlight.  I have contacted many of you about
 having listed your feeds in our directory.  The TVTonic client uses
 Microsoft BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) to download
 video content.  Videobloggers seeing traces of BITS in their stats
 could possibly be seeing TVTonic users pulling their videos, however
 they could also be coming from other RSS clients, such as the RSS
 reader built in to IE7 which uses BITS.
 
 See http://blogs.msdn.com/rssteam/archive/2006/02/02/522642.aspx
 
 BITS is the technology that Microsoft uses to deliver Windows
 Automatic Updates.  As Markus said, it is a component designed to
 control and throttle background downloads as not to make any large
 resource hit on a user's computer.
 
 But the problem, it seems, with BITS is that it makes a substantial
 number of webserver requests.  If you look at your server log you
 might think that BITS is hammering your bandwidth because of the high
 number of requests.  This is because it is making requests to the
 server for small chunks of a file rather than one request for the
 whole file itself.  Once it has collected all of the bits of a file,
 it marks it as being finished and makes the file available to the
 user.
 
 We have actually started to see several servers block requests from
 the BITS useragent.  Revision3's servers (Diggnation  Systm), as well
 as Channel Frederator, to name a few.  Recently we've started to see
 some strange messages get returned from libsyn.  FYI ? we are
 contacting the blip developers to see if there is a way we can work
 together to ensure their users are receiving less confusing stats. 
 I'll keep everyone posted.
 
 I hope that clarifies this BITS issue for many of you.  Please feel
 free to contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you have more questions.
 
 Sincerely,
 
 Andr? Sala

Re: [videoblogging] Advice on microphones (for loud conventions)

2006-01-17 Thread Eddie Codel
Make sure you get a directional mic. Directionals are great for loud areas 
because they pickup what you aim into them (your voice). We use a $20 Radio 
Shack mic for Geek Entertainment TV and it serves us quite well. Unless your 
going for serious audiofile quality, most people won't tell the difference from 
a $20 mic to a $150 mic.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Is the videoblogging world better with 1 centralized site?

2006-01-10 Thread Eddie Codel
I've used Libsyn in the past to host podcasts. The reason I went with
them at the time was:

a) Our Media and Internet Archive while free, often took hours to
process a media file upload before being available. 

b) Stats. Libsyn has awesome detailed stats. I really think this is
going to be a differentiator among hosts. Pretty graphs of episode
downloads and subscriber trends is important for those who are trying to
build an audience. blip.tv has detailed stats too, though without the
graphs.

Libsyn also claims they have some fancy shmancy distributed network that
pushes fresh media files out to edges of the network for quick
availability. Also a great feature though I'd love to know specifics on
this, like what is their network topology and available bandwidth.

[videoblogging] Another newbie de-lurking

2005-12-13 Thread Eddie Codel
Hello most verbose videologgers,

I've been following this place off and on for a while and finally bit 
the bullet and subscribed. This really looks like ground zero for so 
much in the videologging community. Some of you might know me, others I 
may have met back in September at Webzine 2005. A lot of your names are 
starting to become familiar to me.

So I've got a little project I kicked off with my good friend Irina a 
few weeks ago called Geek Entertainment Televison. We go around and do 
light hearted interviews of our friends and their friends about random 
projects they're doing in the geekosphere. It's short format, 3-5 
minutes, shot on location at various places within the re-inflating 
bubble.  Being in San Francsico, it's been really easy to find people to 
interview and subjects to cover.

I'd love any feedback you guys have. Production quality on the older 
videos are let's say, not as robust as the newer stuff. We actually plug 
the mic in now and even use a light. Amazing what a difference that can 
make.

http://www.geekentertainment.tv/

Cheers,
-eddie
