Dear Schlomo, I've met you just once. And I enjoyed it. Even more, I've enjoyed your videos over the years.

Sure, sure, you might think, when was the last time he (me) commented on a video. I know it's been awhile. But, hey, I've been busy, and I miss fireant like hell -- my old computer runs Miro for shit, and iTunes sucks . . . but I've been watching. Ok, so don't do it!

[videoblogging] Miro Not Working Well for Me
Hey all, Background - I'm running Miro 1.1 on an oldish pre-intel mac laptop. My laptop hd is nearly full, so I'm writing the videos to an external firewire drive. Problem - Miro is very buggy. It often takes a long time to switch between feeds, and the playback is very choppy for some videos. Lots of time spent looking at the spinning rainbow of death. No crashes though. I miss my Fireant!!! I also, oddly enough, had problems using the Miro forums. So, how's Miro working for you? Rob

I used Miro for about a month, and found that it didn't always update feeds when it was supposed to, and no matter how many times I would attempt to remove a file from the list once I had watched it, it would always be there when I opened up the program the next day. Netvibes has been working great for me. I love the way it is set-up, and I like that I can organize more than just my RSS feeds. I can view my e-mail, Flickr photos, ebay, craigslist, and the weather all in one place (among many other possibile combinations). It updates feeds when it is supposed to, and I can easily toggle between the feed view in Netvibes and the vloggers actual website. Really liking it. Anyway, my two cents.

Working with Daniel Salber on FireAnt for the Mac was a great experience. New features and bug fixes that I suggested were always implemented quickly. Being able to work that closely with a developer was lots of fun. Sadly the Macintosh development didn't keep up with the PC development and I ended up dropping FireAnt and moving to Miro. During this period, my Mac crashed and I ended up starting over and subscribing to fewer feeds. What's happening now is that I only subscribe to about 13 RSS 2.0 feeds with media enclosures. Others I subscribe to, but go watch online. I find many new videos via Twitter, Email, IM and Facebook. Another thing I frequently talked to Jay about was getting the ability to be able to see what others using Fireant were subscribed to, and beyond that, see what videos they liked or recommended.

[videoblogging] Last Next To Heaven of Season 1
Hey All, I posted the first Next To Heaven on September 19, 2006, and today I post the 52nd. A year's-worth of weekly short movies made from archive.org's public domain footage pretty impressive, if I do say so myself.

[videoblogging] Re: Last Next To Heaven of Season 1
Thanks Bill and everyone for the kind words. I do think NTH sharpened me up a bit. I think its a great exercise for any non-professional artist/filmmaker/musician to put yourself on a schedule and create. Not having all the time in the world actually makes some cool stuff pop out. The random nature of the images also made me tell stories in a way I wouldn't have otherwise. But, looking back on it, all the stories are close to the things I'm interested in. So, in the end, throwing something random at yourself can end up simply pushing forward the things you wanted to say anyway. Like a Rorschach blot (off topic, but hear they are making a movie of Watchmen -- can't wait). As to what was challenging, there were several archive movies that sat around for months, and while I liked them, I couldn't think of a thing to do with them. Some are still on my hard drive, not used, others suddenly came in handy . . . out of the blue. This goes back to working on a schedule, it forces you to keep turning your raw materials around in your mind. As far as the one I'm most proud of, that's hard . . . but check out this one, its probably the most profound . . . http://www.nexttoheaven.net/2007/06/next-to-heaven-38_05.html Also, I won a $1,000 bucks for this one, which is a big video payday for me! http://www.nexttoheaven.net/2007/04/next-to-heaven-33-tapes-of-my-father.html As to the archive folks, I've just recently dropped them a line.

[videoblogging] Anamorphic 16:9 DV
Hi: My old Sony MiniDV cam died. I replaced it with a Panasonic that can shoot in 16:9. Any views on the best way to shoot in 16:9 then compress for vlogging? I currently do duel pass compression with 3ivx. I did notice that the image darkened a bit when I resized in with quicktime player to get the widescreen effect (720x480 to 875x480). Also, when I tried to compress the 875x480 file to 437x240 - 3ivx didn't generate an image, just black. This whole pixel shape thing is a bit daunting. So, if anybody has already invented this wheel I would be great to hear about it. Thanks. Rob SPONSORED LINKS Fireant Individual Typepad Use Explains YAHOO!

[videoblogging] Re: Promotional Vlogcaster needed-part time
Last night I read the sexism/objectification of women discussion on the yahoo vloggers group. I thought I would join the discussion by sharing a video I made in the late 1990s. It chronicles an experience a friend of mine had involving sexual harassment in Venezuela. I juxtaposed her experiences with imagery from one of America's great celebrations of sexism, the Miss America Pageant. Check out the movie at http://www.hoppervideo.net/2006/05/miss-gringa.html I believe that human beings inherently love beauty. The problem with our culture today is that we have fetishised a particular version of female beauty and elevated it above all other versions of beauty. So the fact that a person seeking a large audience attempts to recruit a mouthpiece that satisfies the current cultural fetish is not surprising. The question for all of us, as makers of media, is whether we want to be part of an effort to expand society's conception of beauty or do we simply want to play it as it lays and cater to the current state of our cultural development.

[videoblogging] Re: Best quality video?
I don't know if DiVA involves quality loss. I use it to get small sized files up to TV resolution because I put my stuff on TV as well as on the internet. It looks good, and the files get much much bigger. So, I assume I'm doing the oposite of compressing (expanding?). You did remind me that on the archive.org FAQs it does mention that you can use Cleaner to do the conversion work to.

I'd rather not lose any more quality than has already been lost in compressing to MPEG2 in the first place. Please let me know if I'm wrong about this. What I've discovered in the past couple of days: I *may* be able to convert the MPEG2 file to DV using a tool called MPEG Streamclip, but I'd still need to purchase Apple's Quicktime MPEG2 thing to do so.

[videoblogging] Re: Best quality video?
Ok here we go. All the software I mention you can find via Google, and they are all shareware or free. You download the MPEG2 Then you use bbDEMUX to demux it. I'm not an expert on this, but demux means you are separating out the video and audio portions of the file. You take the video portion to DiVA and you convert the file to full 720x480, 30 fps. Then you use MAD Play to convert the audio to an AIFF. You can then remarry the video and the audio in Final Cut or whatever you use to edit. I'm doing this from memory, but I think its all right. Feel free to e-mail off list if you run into problems.

However, if you want to have a 720x480, 30fps version, then MPEG2 is the way to go. The conversion process is a bit time consuming, but you end up with a very good looking movie. It can be done with freeware. Let me know if that is is what you want and I'll tell you how to do it.

[videoblogging] Re: iTunes xml tags
Hey Ron: I think Apple might be having an issue. My art and info appeared this a.m. . . . but now its gone. I did post a review during that brief wonderful moment that I existed in the eyes of iTunes, maybe Steve Jobs didn't like it. :-) (for the record, I identified myself as the site's author in the review -- speaking of which, the review was simply selected quotes from comments left on the site. I identified them as comments, but did not reveal the authors. I assume its ok to use comments for publicity. What says the group?)

[videoblogging] iTunes xml tags
I'm trying to get my feed up to speed with iTune's demands. This is probably a dumb question, but here it goes. So, Apple wants a bunch of tags inserted into the feed. Do I do that through Blogger, Feedburner, (I don't see a way that these deplay the code of the feed) or do I need to open the atom file that is on my web server and add the tags there? If I do the last option, will that mess up the auto updating functionality of the feed? Will the tags survive the next time a do a post? Thanks for the help. Rob ps happy holidays everybody! Yahoo!
