Great :) The PBwiki is up and running again now and the voting page is at: http://videoblogginggroup.pbwiki.com/Vloggercon-2007-Voting If you're voting here, maybe you'd also like to add your name to the vote page on the wiki cause it's going to be too hard to count up here now and much easier there. DC is swinging wildly into the lead today, with 18 votes to NY's 13, even though that's without the last couple of votes for DC posted here.

[videoblogging] Everest Protest used SMS, Skype, Video Stream
Four activists, including a Tibetan-American, were arrested at Everest Base Camp yesterday. This was after a protest of the Beijing 2008 Olympic torch route through Tibet and up mount Everest that is currently being planned and practiced. What is amazing and relevant to this group is that the protest was coordinated through satellite phones and data modems, using SMS, Skype, and Streaming Video all in realtime from Everest back to the US. Live video of the protest was sent from a camera person with a wireless transmitter to a laptop which streamed it out to the web over a 400kbps BGAN satellite connection. This footage was obtained by people in the US who immediately uploaded to the web to various sites such as YouTube and Blip.tv http://blip.tv/ . The camera person was arrested at Everest as well so without this we would have no pictures or video footage available at all. Even without arrest it would be at least 48 hours until any tape could get out of the area due to the vast distance and difficulty of travel. Unfortunately, it has now been over a day since it occurred and we still have no word on their location or status. You can see an edited version of the video footage here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfe57qES7F8eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fblog%2Estud\ entsforafreetibet%2Eorg%2Findex%2Ephp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfe57qES7F8eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fblog%2Estu\ dentsforafreetibet%2Eorg%2Findex%2Ephp Additional footage in Quicktime and under CC-BY-SA licenses is available at: http://onedreamtv.com/everest http://onedreamtv.com/everest The official press release and other info are all here: http://blog.studentsforafreetibet.org/2007/04/24/unprecedented-high-alti\ tude-free-tibet-protest-on-mount-everest/ http://blog.studentsforafreetibet.org/2007/04/24/unprecedented-high-alt\ itude-free-tibet-protest-on-mount-everest/ Please help spread the word if you are so inclined.

I dream of this stuff being pushed to the extreme and for it to be possible for a blog like experience to be completely available from within a flash player. Complexities quickly arise when the people providing the player are hosting your videos, but are not responsible for the rest of your blog, it leads to an understandable focus on the video hosting page rather than your blog page. This may not be considered a probem because the expectation may be that you embed their player in your site, and your site provides all the other bloggy stuff you want. But this doesnt cover scenarios where our show player may be embedded on another site or used as a widget. I see the guide button is optional, and its easy to rebrand the player so that its got your own site in the bottom right hand corner, which is a clickable link pointing to the URL of your choice. Thanks for mentioning that. I had those pointing to the blip shows, basically by default, but I've switched them now so that they point to the blogs for the shows instead of the blip pages. This helps out the permalink situation A LITTLE BIT, but it still takes the viewer to the most recent post in the blog. The only thing that seems to update with the individual video is if you click guide and then read more about this on blip.tv, which takes you to the individual video's page on blip. -- Bill C. BillCammack.com Id love to see the creative commons stuff thats been requested in the past, be rolled out into this show player in the future, whether it be through a little cc icon on the bottom bar of the player, or the inclusion of this info in the popup 'about this episode' tab. I agree about the font size, hmm this stuff starts to get a bit tricky, a big decision to break away from the player being 320x240. I see that Veoh's player is rather large now, but this makes it look quite good and leaves more room for additional info overlays to be displayed in a larger font. Some other services have really wide players with separate episode bars to one side of the video. Personally Im fascinated by the idea of a flash player for wordpress that can display the entire blog, text video etc, in the flash player. I was looking at WPF/E but I think I'll ignore that technology for now, and go buymyself a copy of flash and join the fun. Cheers Steve Elbows --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com

I've got multiple blip accounts going, and have to sign in and sign out to get to each one. Plus, in order to get those multiple accounts, I had to use unique email addresses for each one, and have run out of real email address. So now to create new accounts, I have to go make an email account, and then use that for blip. Hm. Can blip be retooled at some point to make it more like blogger? One sign-in. AND -- have the ability to add other people to the people allowed to work on that account. So I can setup accounts for clients using my log -in, and then invite them to join in... yet still be able to get in myself, and have those log-ins be separate.

[videoblogging] Re: Vloggercon 2007
Nothing is more depressing to me than watching a bunch of vlogs about politics. DC is so overrun by media, that I don't think Vloggercon will garner much press if held there. Now if you want to be noticed, then the obvious place is New Orleans, LA. Imagine flooding the vlogosphere with scenes/stories about the rebuilding effort there post Katrina Plus, there's a lot of interesting things to do/see in New Orleans. Imagine discovering the French Quarter, or eating some of the best food in the country, or seeing a swamp or alligator for the first time! The culture is so unique in Southern Louisiana, you might think you are in a foreign country. Once you've seen a bunch of monuments and museums in DC, what else is there? How about something else, something real that is more humanizing? How about vlogging real people in a real situation that demands the nation's attention? I believe traditional media will pick up on Vloggercon if held in New Orleans. Chuck

You fly to Frankfurt International Airport - one of the major European hubs (along with London, Paris and Amsterdam) - and then Heidelberg is but a train trip away. It's a giant airport (I've been waiting there more than once). If you're into that kind of thing Wikipedia has a list of airlines that fly to Frankfurt (and where they fly from). You can catch direct flights from most major US cities: URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_International_Airport#Structure_and_function (Lufthansa, Delta, Continental fly from JFK or Newark) For the Europeans Ryanair also flies to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport, but the train ride to Heidelberg will be much longer. - Andreas PS.

We in the peanut gallery can demand all we want -- but who is going to make it happen??? That's why it was not in New York last time -- organizers tried for NYC, but could not get a larger enough venue that was affordable. You can decide New York / XX-city all you want, but if there's no place for the budget we have (or people to do the work of planning the event), it ain't gonna happen there. After a long search in NYC, the Vloggercon 06 organizers started looking elsewhere -- and ended up in San Fran at the Swedish American Hall. Plus the people working on the event all started moving to San Fran. And it's easier to plan an event in the town you are living in then somewhere else. Simply 'voting' and making that be some kind of ruling decision is a bit crazy. Maybe the better question is who can plan, host, and do this whole gig??

[videoblogging] Re: is this an interlacing problem?
I think Waz might be on Windows, based on what patht he discussions about alternative encoders went. I think the reason for loading avi's into quicktime is because in this instance quicktime is being used as an encoder, to turn the avi's into mp4's. That step can obviously be done straight from the video editing package if quicktime export or alternative encoder is built into the editing app, but a lot of times the quicktime export stuff on PC is non-existant or trails well behind the options available in standalone quicktime. I have started experimenting with these ipod 640x480 h264 files, wasnt sure that my ipod was updated but it seems it is. Im rather inimpressed so far, Apples Ipod export 640x480 h264 isnt deinterlacing, my source is PAL DV just like Waz. Its stupid of Apple not to build deinterlace into their ipod export when higher resolutions are used. Not that the interlacing shows up on the ipod screen becaues they screen is 320x240. Im not sure how much it will show up on ipod TV out either, as televisions are used to handling interlaced images. But it certainly means that notivalb interlace lines and other horrors will be noticable for people playing back via computer, who arent used to having to find a player to do deinterlacing during playback. Thats the reason the avi's look ok Im Windows Media Player, I presume, they are still interlaced but WMP will deinterlace during playback. VLC also has options to do withis, as do some other players. As far as I know the quicktime deinterlace options all relate to this too - deinterlacing temporarily during playback, doesnt actually provide deinterlacing of footage whilst re-encoding, which is the sort of deinterlacing we really want to produce the best files. Its also a really bad idea not to deal with interlacing at the conversion stage. Your source DV files are 50 or nearly 60fps, depending on PAL or NTSC, interlaced. As discussed, some players can deinterlace such stuff during playback. But if you reencode that stuff to a non-interlaced format (ie progressive 25fps 640x480 in this case), but dont deinterlace the source footage during that process, those horrible lines are encoded into the footage and its much less likely that any player is going to be able to deinterlace that stuff later. Anyway Im going on again and not actually offering a solution, Im in the middle of researching this stuff now and will hopefully find a good Windows solution by the end of today,a nd will report back. In fact I was gonna startup a site called mp4clinic ages ago when these encoding issues were a ngihtmare, but then it all got a lot easier.

I think the reason for loading avi's into quicktime is because in this instance quicktime is being used as an encoder, to turn the avi's into mp4's. You're spot on, mate - and as you went on to say, I could potentially do this from Premiere Elements, but it does not allow sufficient control over parameters. Basically the only useful output I can get from Prem Elements is an AVI. I then open that AVI in QuickTime to put out MP4 and .mov files. I also output a WMV file based on that AVI using Windows Movie Maker - which, I'm ashamed to say, always does a superb job and the result pretty much matches H.264 for good looks. Steve, you _can_ deinterlace in QuickTime by getting into movie properties - visual settings and ticking the deinterlace box. Also ticking the high quality box seems to do something. However neither of these measures removed the jagged lines completely for me - the best result was achieved by deinterlacing when exporting the initial AVI from Prem Elements. This interlacing problem is weird - it has also started happening when I use a little piece of freeware called SplitCam to turn the mini-DV camera into a webcam for Skype purposes. It never used to do this before. Last night I reset the camera to factory defaults so will see what happens next time we shoot an episode.

Folks, let's leave the ballot stuffing to the professionals. Please just use your own name. With all due respect to the great cities of Boston, NYC and all points west I think we should do D.C. 1. It would be an opportunity to do outreach in the DC, Maryland and Virginia areas. We can make connections with the folks down south (southeaster portion of the U.S.) which would once again expand our networking opportunities. 2. Mighty fine eating in the region. We could chomp without worrying about skimping. 4. Helps to reduce the costs for those on the African, Asian and European terra firma, plus it will do wonders for their rumps (not as much air time) 5. I got to get out of L.A. I love the Smithsonian Museums and I got sniff some of that Library of Congress book dust. 6. If we don't want to talk to no stinking politicians we don't have to. They aren't likely to be in town anyway and we don't have a PAC or slush fund money they can belly up to. Same with the M$M - I don't think they like us especially that D.C. crowd that sucked up for the past seven years. 7. Those that are outside of the D.C. area can help with the small things like putting up info on flights, hotel suggestions, long distance PR or make a video about the event. If we all do a little somethings a big thing can happen. Pick one small thing, do it and then walk away. 8. Let not be so linear about this. If 30 to 50 folks want to go to D.C. we could have a great time! If another 50 want to go to Boston then that can happen. There will be Vlogging BBQs, BarCamp and other chances to meet talk with folks. If VloggerCon doesn't happen folks will still get together. But if the group mind says we are heading for D.C. then lets collectively make that happen. In the spirit of Andy Hardy - come on gang, let's put on a show! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5OMtwwDjrs Gena http://outonthestoop.blogspot.com http://pcclibtech.blogspot.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Rupert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What's the most recent plan for this? Last I heard here (just searched) it was going to be in Boston in the Summer, and not merged with BarCampUSA. Is that right? Still on? Any definite plans?

1. Somewhere in the middle of the country that isn't Chicago (nothing against Chicago, I just think a place that isn't already one of the Big Deal Arts and Media cities would be good. But someplace that is still into the new and the vital and where new ideas can take root. Minneapolis? 2. New Orleans and DC are both compelling choices for reasons mentioned. 3.

Minnesota? Could work but no one wants to come here at the best of times. I am finding myself being more draw to DC. Not for the political purposes though.

I was once turned away from the White House because I didn't want them to x ray my camera, possibly fogging my film. I missed the White House Christmas, but I caught a big show at the Corcoran.

[videoblogging] Re: Ourmedia 2.0 - Shiny and New
You know, we almost didn't pull the switch on Ourmedia's relaunch because we still have so much to do. But we figured, let's be transparent and go public and keep developing the site (while taking down our now in alpha! sign). :~) I was hoping we'd have our new channels flying by now. It'll happen within the next week or two. A lot of great possibilities here: showcasing mash-ups, showing off long-buried videos in the Internet Archive, adding in indie music and podcasts, and lots more. We'll see where the users want to take channels. Keep in mind we're still a community-minded project and we want to highlight open media projects, widgets, open-source software and more. Markus would certainly welcome help from anyone who wants to kick in some ideas or coding help. jd vlog: realpeoplenetwork.com
