You have a Canon 5D MkII and you're asking about all these other mediocre cams for videoblogging? And you haven't tested the HD video yet?? The 5D Mk2 IS the bridge that you're looking for between a PS and a dedicated prosumer camcorder. You yourself identified all the problems with the

I should qualify that statement about Xacti producing average quality HD - it can give stunning results, as David Howell regularly shows. If you're looking for a pocket HD, I would go Xacti before Kodak or Flip. But the 5D Mk2 is still in a different picture quality league, especially

Hi Mike, How do you select the player that displays the other episodes on the side, without making it your default player? I see you have the single video player on your main page. Thanks! This is great! --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, mgmoon mgm...@... wrote: I finally got around to

Fair enough! I've always liked the Canon PS video quality, but when I went to go and test the new SD980 PS in May, I found it wouldn't even change focus when the video was recording, let alone zoom. I think that the Xacti can rival a lot of the PS still cams for still photo quality.

Maybe it's just me but I've tried and tried to get a lightbox effect working using Blip.tv on my wordpress blog with no joy. I've tried Shadowbox, Lightbox, Thickbox, prettyPhoto to no avail. I know it can be done but I'm not sure what I'm missing or doing wrong. Any tutorials, information

You are the man!! I was a mobile-media-solution fanatic during my Jumplive.com project (2005-2007). I was using videos from HP PDAs (HP3715) over WiFi, cellphone videos (Treo 650) over cellphone network. I should have gone with the N93, which had WiFi better quality video. I even used a

If you mean what I think you mean - clicking a link which makes the video appear as a lightbox overlay... The VPIP plugin does this. Lots of people use it. But it requires the .flv flash video file that Blip creates, rather than the Blip show player, which is embedded using a special type of

I remember reading that setup before! Ingenious :) These phones are all available as unlocked handsets for general sale. They're not cheap, though. In Europe you can buy the N86 in lots of places online or from phone stores. North American version of the N86 is now available in the USA -

The blip playlist and player is very cool. I've been using blip for about a year now, and have only just begun to take advantage of the playlists and embeddable full show players. This has allowed me to keep all my content in one place in one account on blip, but to distribute it in playlists to

When you say using blip.tv, do you mean using the flv or mp4 files or are you trying to get the show player to open in a modal/lightbox window? here are some others: http://www.zimbio.com/Interesting+webthings/articles/97/Web+2+0+Round+up+Modal+Window+Lightbox+Effect
