 Hi Videobloggers,
 
 We just launched Tilzy.tv http://www.tilzy.tv  , a guide to
 entertainment on the web that includes editorial overviews and short
 preview clips from websites with amassed entertainment content.  Our
 goal is to raise awareness of the content available online, and to push
 traffic to entertainment websitesÂ…many of your vlogs/shows are
 featured.  We will make every attempt to contact every listed vlog/show
 individually, but in case we have difficulty reaching anyone, we thought
 a group post might counter possible confusion.
 
 Here's a quick rundown of Tilzy.TV http://www.tilzy.tv Â…

 
 We hope you like Tilzy.TV.  We're pumped to be a part of this
 community.

[videoblogging] Labourvision - New Labour get a videoblog

2007-04-12 Thread beth_tilston
Here in the UK, we already have WebCameron
(http://www.webcameron.org.uk), the Conservative leader David
Cameron's attempt to woo voters with videos on Conservative policy
narrated from his kitchen (Ecover bottles in full view).  Now New
Labour have joined the trend.  They just launched Labourvision, to
enable you to hear unmediated, fresh, first-hand, what it is we are
about (See yesterday's Guardian article -
http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,,2054070,00.html).  Unmediated! 
They must have worked hard to pull that one off!

Go here http://www.youtube.com/labourvision for labourvision in its
full  low-production-value/background-noise-included glory.  I wonder
how much though went into choosing the officey looking corner (people
can empathise with offices) that it was filmed in.  Cynical. Moi.

[videoblogging] Re: Timelapse software?

2007-04-12 Thread Bill Cammack
Without any other parameters, I'd say to capture your video then bring
it into Final Cut and change the speed on it so the video's the length
you want it.  The new speed clip will automatically skip frames, then
you EXPORT - USING QUICKTIME CONVERSION - IMAGE SEQUENCE - then set
the format and the frames per second.

I don't know why you would want to save every Nth individual frame to
a new _video_ file, but if what you meant was a still from the video,
that's the way to do it.

[videoblogging] Re: filesize of HD footage

2007-04-12 Thread Steve Watkins
Forgot to say that the Apple examples are a case of using a rather
high bitrate to make sure the footage looks real nice. You could
encoder at same resolutions that they have, but use a lower bitrate,
and get much smaller files than theirs. Then theres differences
between codecs, might get away with lower bitrates using DivX or WMV
for example, or the other way round, I gave up spending all my time
being a codec nerd a while back so I cant bring myself to do my own
comparison anymore. WMV gets a fair bit of praise in the HD
department, but h264 and divx both look rather good to me too. Anyway
I will shutup now as you may not even have been asking about that side
of the equation.

I think the point is that there is not a limited number of gatekeepers
for content and activity on the net.  Anyone can setup a website (blog
or otherwise) with their own rules, filters and gatekeeping.  If
someone doesn't like that, they can create their site.  A code of

bring central governing or government to the net.  It has some of the
aspects of governmental rule: reaching rules by consensus, protecting

Far as I can tell it's a bittorrent based video sharing site for high def

No RSS whatsoever but they do have some interesting high def videos.

They have a mac client available, perhaps some sort of viewer/player though

But life with no governance will lead to chaos.  It's been proven by 
history time and time again.  But now we are speaking in complete 
generalities, you can say, Those that govern will use those that 
hate as a reason for all to give up more of their freedom. and I 
could say it's because we have those who hate, who would kill, who 
have no regrard for humanity, it's because of them that we need to be 
goverened

Both statements can be true, based on context and application.  The 
world is not perfect, far from it.  Does it mean we should give up 
and no longer try?  I don't believe that, but honestly I look around 
and sometimes I wonder if we will still be here in a hundred years, 
or even fifty.

How many cultures have been lost through time because of hate or fear 
or mother nature or God if you prefer.  We continue to unearth proof 
that many of our advancements especially in science and math were 
discovered 1,000 of years ago.  History, cultures, people all gone 
and their civilizations gone with them.  Did goverance destroy them 
or hate?  Or both?  We may never know.  But this I do know, very few 
absolutes exsist in this world and there has to be a balance.  What 
that is, I hope we live to find out.

[videoblogging] Need a database guru to help me setup PHP for a wordpress blog

2007-04-12 Thread Milt Lee
Hi folks,

I know I'm just a grumpy old guy that likes to control everything, but
I would like to set up my own wordpress blog - on my own site.  I
really like workpress, but if I have to pay for a site in order to
control the css - then I would rather roll my own.

BUT I don't have the chops to set up a database, and when I read the
instructions that they have on the wordpress forum, it doesn't
translate into my old grey head.

Anybody out there that could walk me through it?  I would really
appreciate it.

Thanks,
Milt Lee

   Anybody in NYC want to shoot a great band tomorrow night?

 Here's the band: http://urltea.com/54d

 Here's the place: http://www.rodeobar.com

 I'll buy you a dinner at the venue beforehand. They have some pretty good
 bbq/southwestern food.

 Show starts at 10, and will probably last a couple hours.

Re: [videoblogging] Need a database guru to help me setup PHP for a wordpress blog

2007-04-12 Thread Markus Sandy
hi milt

a lot depends on what kind of hosting setup you have.  pardon me if i 
am stating the obvious.

for example, at places like dreamhost and bluehost things are very 
simple.  my sql is already installed and installing wordpress is just 
one or two steps. both are menu options in the control panels.  the 
first step is to create a database which amounts to specifying a name 
for it, a user and a password.  the second step is to select the 
wordpress install and that usually asks you for the name, user and 
password for the database you just created and a few questions about 
things like what folder or subdomain do you want to put the blog in.  
it also asks for yet another user and pass, this time for the blog 
admin.

if your hosting does not have these menu options or something similar, 
then you will need to do a command line install.

questions?

do you have a control panel that allows one click word press installs 
like i just described?

if not, do you already have mysql installed?

also, sometimes you need to request command line or shell access.  do 
you have that setup yet?  that is, can you log in to your server and 
get a command line prompt.  if that is the case, then we need to get 
into details.  we can take the discussion offline if that is the case.

regards,
markus

[videoblogging] GALACTICAST launches a new sponsorship level: GOD EMPEROR

2007-04-12 Thread Casey McKinnon
That's right, folks.  For only $20,000 you can become GOD EMPEROR of
GALACTICAST... with all the benefits of a Producer (linked credit in
shownotes, full screen ad credit in our videos) but for AN ENTIRE YEAR!

Will it work?  Who knows...

If it does work, the world will be a beautiful place.

Yours,
Rudy and Casey

[videoblogging] Our Apple TV Settings

2007-04-12 Thread Casey McKinnon
Time to share...

For those interested parties... you don't have to export from Movie
to Apple TV.  With these settings, you can get a file %50 of the size
you would get with the default settings.  Just click on Movie to
QuickTime Movie in QuickTime Pro and enter the settings in this
screenshot:

If you're using 4:3 instead of 16:9, put the dimensions as 640x480
instead of 640x360.

Lots of love,
Rudy and Casey
