Yes. Making QT my main format caused no end of headaches from people telling me they had trouble with QT, so I decided to go with Flash. Dreamhost also offers their own Flash transcoder, but I felt that Blip.tv offered more in the way of social support, such as serving as the mouthpiece of

For what it's worth, Freetime is profoundly unpopular, and we still won a People's Choice for Best Documentary, so this isn't necessarily true. Also, having the Vloggy definitely improved our viewership, as we went from being completely unknown to being only moderately unknown. -- Rhett.

No offense, but our Vloggy has meant a lot to us. In fact, it's the only positive regard we ever got from Freetime. It's also the only time that project ever got linked by anyone else's blogs. If we hadn't had that modicum of success in getting even the most rudimentary audience, I probably

Guys, When I dump a tape to Premiere, it sometimes stops in the middle of the capture process and says capture stopped because blank tape was detected. I've become used to this as a minor glitch that occurs once in a blue moon. Lately, though, it's been happening a lot. It seems to crop up
