I use both FLV and SWF, and can't tell that there is a difference. If
I use the same compression settings, the file size comes out exactly
the same. The difference is that in SWF I can embed a player so it
play directly on the page or in an aggregator without an additional
player.

I use the FLV files on the site with a player and also create SWFs and
M4Vs for download.

Re: [videoblogging] .swf or .flv




I don't find that to be true, though I haven't tested all aggregators. I can view my own SWF vlogs directly in FireANT and (as of recently) Google Reader. Would be happy to test with more if someone points me to them.

[videoblogging] Re: Why videoblogging continues to grow in importance

2006-04-25 Thread Gena




I'm not really surprised about this. In the mid 80s I participated in
Pasadena's public access channel. It took the mission seriously. Santa
Monica had a good one too.

There were classes, you could create programs and if you could scrape
enough folks together for a crew you could put on a show. But they
(the cable channel) started pressuring city council to have meetings
about cutting public access, on not replacing/upgrading equipment, or
memos on what you can and can't do...the usual.

Me, I just couldn't afford to continue to participate. I stopped.

The city next door (I name no names but the guilty know who they are)
did everything that they could to discourage requests for public
access time. It was only during working hours. 1/2 set-up time , no
equipment to be touched by outsiders and basically a talking chair
mode of participation was tolerated.

My concern is now with the potential walling off of the Internet by
the phone companies. Step one - they lock us out of public access.
Step two - the phone companies put the squeeze on Congress & FCC  or
whoever to charge for faster/heavy bandwidth usage. Segregation for
the elite, reduced access (and videoblogging) for the rest of us.

Now this will bite them in the tukas in the long run cuz this is just
going to inspire some latent genius to invent something to bypass
phone company distribution and away we go into the new frontier.

Hang on, change is coming...

They have no idea!  I think they first heard the word "videoblog" last 
week.
So let's show them some great stuff, some stuff by women, some stuff 
that will get their mental gears turning.  They're super smart and open 
to new things but just not familiar at all with the vlogosphere.
I'm sure vlogs by women & about womens' issues would be really 
compelling to them.

I suppose the Google Groups mirror (which is basically a subscribed e-mail
address that forwards messages to the Google Group) might generate an
error, but I've never received any.  And I'm fairly certain that it's
unrelated to the Blogspot error.

A quick Google search finds these errors reported on many mailing lists,
though, so my guess is that someone _has_ subscribed an email-to-post
address to this list to populate a Blogspot blog.  Probably to get easy
content for an AdSense spam blog.

Same here.  I have a "regular" vlog using Quicktime files off my digital
still camera's "movie mode," but also post video direct to the web via
e-mail from my Treo 650.  I've experimented with Blip.TV's email-to-web
feature, as well as Vimeo's, but the most reliable so far (i.e. no lost
messages/videos) has been TextAmerica:

http://vlog.textamerica.com/

The trade off for weak video and sound quality, of course, is the immediacy
of having a video clip available mere moments after shooting it.  More and
more significant events (and, more importantly, local events) will be
documented primarily this way, I'm convinced, whereas two years ago they'd
probably not be reported on or recorded at all.

There's nothing to do with a .flv file on the web. Browsers don't know

Much like Photoshop. Make a doc in Photoshop and save it -- and you've
got a .psd. You can make lots of layers and masks and effects... and
then when you are ready, save for web to create a .jpg (or .gif) and
then use the .jpg on the web. The original .psd is much to big for the
internet + browsers have no idea what a .psd file is -- the .jpg is
flattened and compressed and doesn't have any of the layer / mask /

can modify a .psd.
  
  
That's how it works when you've got the program Flash installed on
your system and use it to make a project. These online transcoders
don't make a .flv file (i don't think) -- I'm under the impression
they just translate the .mov file (or whatever) straight into a .swf.
(Someone correct me if i'm wrong.) It's cool because you get a flash
movie .swf without needing to own Flash or take all the time to build
a project. It's not as cool because the formulaic nature on the online
transcoder isn't going to make the best possible flash movie --only by
doing a custom compress will you get the best results possible. Also
everyone should just know that Flash does about 200x as many cool
techie things then simply pump video out in a format that is viewable
by lots of browsers -- AND flash does much more than the stupid ugly
animated billboards that seem to dominate commercial websites these
days. That's the most common use of Flash, but not the best / most
artistic / most creative use of it. It's a powerful development
platform that can do much more. Another example of everyone copying
each other so much that an utter lack of imagination has dominated a
medium and crowded out the artistic possibilities. (Not killed them

.flv is to .swf as .psd is to .jpg.

[videoblogging] Re: comparison of quicktime compression techniques

2006-04-25 Thread Stan Hirson, Sarah Jones

I would suggest that the test clip have more movement than Verdi on the
toilet (pardon the pun) -- although I thought it was funny as hell and
laughed all he way through it -- or the aquarium.  I was doing similar
tests for a vlog about horses, and reluctantly settled on H.264 until I
found out that Flash 8 gave me the quality and the bitrate I needed at
the 30 fps for the horses in motion.  You can see a sample of Flash MX
and Flash 8 comparison tests here:
http://hestakaup.typepad.com/hestablog/2006/02/flash_test.html
I just point this out because until I used the motion clip and tested it
with Flash 8, I would have been so unhappy with the compression that I
may not have even vlogged this subject thinking the technology was not
there!

[videoblogging] Re: comparison of quicktime compression techniques

That explains it. Part of the problem is that much of my target
audience is in the developing world, and starting with a clip much
larger than 10 megs if prohibitive for them to access in the first
place. I may just have to describe the differences next time rather
than demonstrate them.

[videoblogging] Re: comparison of quicktime compression techniques




Actually, I created a bunch of clips with various bit rates, but when
I then reviewed their file size, for some reason I saw little
difference in them. For example:

Video set to 50kbps max:

http://www.andycarvin.com/video/demo-3ivx50.mov

video set to 25 max:

http://www.andycarvin.com/video/demo-3ivx25.mov

But the difference in file size was marginal: 1.6 vs. 1.4 megs.
Meanwhile, if I didn't set a max bit rate, the file was only 1.8 megs.
I tried to spend some time figuring out what was behind this, but it
started eating up my entire day, so I decided to drop it and post what
I'd already figured out (not to mention the fact that I'm supposedly
launching a new blog on Thursday and should be working on that). 

Perhaps the issue is that the files were so small already that setting
a max bit rate offers marginal change at best? Maybe I should do this
again with larger files so the bit rate difference is more noticeable?

thanks
andy

Re: [videoblogging] comparison of quicktime compression techniques

Hey Andy,I just looked at your post quickly and noticed that you didn't seem to limit the bit rate on any of those clips. By limiting the bit rate you can get very similar results at much much lower bit rates. For example - take your smallest clip. You compressed it using 3ivx at 160 X 120 pixels, 15fps but the bit rate is 420kbits/sec - about 8X too big to progressive download over a dialup modem.
Here's a video that I did last year as a test to see what what videoblogging would look like on dialup. I used 3ivx, 160 X 120 pixels, 8fps and I limited the bit rate to something like 33 kbits/sec. The result is my 45 sec video comes in at 271K (
48.77kbits/sec) while your 5 sec video comes in at 285K (420.28kbits/sec).I think the idea of doing a compression matrix with a single test clip at set bit rates is a great idea. I'd love to help put one together using mpeg4, 3ivx,

[videoblogging] comparison of quicktime compression techniques




Hi everyone,

One of my vlog viewers asked me for an explanation of various quicktime 
compression techniques. I've just published my response:

http://www.andycarvin.com/archives/2006/04/andys_video_blogging.html

In this demonstration, I start with a 10 megabyte video shot in avi 
format, 30 frames per second, 640x480 pixels, 16 bit stereo. I then 
produced seven compressed versions of it, including ones that utilize 
varying frame rates, screen sizes, compression codecs, and audio 
compression.  The most compressed version I created is 97% smaller than 
the original avi video, and is potentially quite suitable for video 
blogging in low-bandwidth situations around the world. Some examples:

Original uncompressed video (10 megs):
http://www.andycarvin.com/video/demo-nocompression.avi

Significant compression (1.8 megs, 82% reduction):
http://www.andycarvin.com/video/demo-3ivx.mov

Extreme compression (292 bits, 97% reduction):
http://www.andycarvin.com/video/demo-3ivx8bit160.mov

Here's a chart featuring all of the videos and their settings:

Interesting that you bring this up at this time.  I got my taste for video 
production working as a producer for a community access TV show called Sex 
Life Live (http://www.sexlifelive.org).  In some ways, my vlog is an 
attempt at staying in a medium and hobby I've grown to enjoy working with.

On top of that, though, is that my local NPR radio station is doing a 
membership drive, and I had a long, hard talk with myself about why I 
didn't feel the need to donate to NPR even though I do listen to NPR for 
something like 30-60 minutes every day while I'm in my car.  The reason, 
ultimately, came down to two things:

(1) NPR might serve the public interest, but only by serving a majority of 
the public at the expense of certain groups.  My choices in lifestyle 
cause me to fall into several of those groups, and so I feel unrepresented 
by NPR.  If NPR went away, my car's radio would play podcasts like 
Polyamory Weekly and Thelema Coast to Coast, which are produced by, and 
for, people more like me than NPR.

(2) It's public radio, but AFAIK, it's the copyright of NPR.  If I pay 
membership donations to NPR, and it's really serving the public interest, 
then I would think the public should be able to reuse and rebroadcast that 
material as it wishes.  By comparison, while podcasts and vlogs sare still 
copyrighted, there's a culture of sharing and distribution that just isn't 
there otherwise.

Sans the digital divide, I'm starting to think podcasting and vlogging are 
poised to serve public interests at the expense of things like public 
access TV, NPR, and PBS.

[videoblogging] Why videoblogging continues to grow in importance

2006-04-25 Thread Jay dedman




Public Access TV is not the favorite channel for Americans.
But in many communities, it is the only TV channel that actually shows
people like them talking...and expresses their opinions and ideas.
As many of you know, I worked at a public access TV in Manhattan until recently.
I brought many of the philophies I learned at this community TV
station to videoblogging.
"Get everyone involved in the conversation".

These community TV stations are funded by a franchise agreement with
the Cable companies who are given a private monopoly to run the cable
system in a given city.
All they must do is give back some channel space and a small amount of
funding to allow the people to put on their own programming. Its
literally pennies comapred to their multi-million dollar yearly
porfits.

Unfortunately, this system will probably soon end.
http://tinyurl.com/qm48m

In my mind, this makes Videoblogging even more important.and each
of our efforts to spread the knowledge of how to get involved. Strange
days.

Coincidentally, over the weekend I blogged a great talk by Professor
Eric von Hippel from MIT's Sloan School. He researches the norms of
different cultures and communities, specifically regarding to how they
react to intellectual property. The bulk of his speech focused on an
amazing study he and a colleague did of A-list French chefs, and how
they react when their recipes get passed around. They have an unspoken
set of rules that allow people to use each other's recipes as long as
they're given credit for it, and they don't disseminate it to other
chefs without permission. And when chefs flagrantly copy someone
else's recipe without due credit, the community response is both swift
and harsh.

Is it because the ability to maintain community has become easier due

Music pricing, political shenanigans, nondisclosure of business

Re: [videoblogging] Re: The Last Hours - Death of a Videoblogger Kevin Krutz

2006-04-25 Thread Harold Johnson

Here's the way I see it: If you're going to do a prank, do it well.  Did anyone see the film "The Game"?  Now that was a good prank...

I'm going to address a few things here.  I'm not outraged by Kevin's prank, though perhaps it's because I suspected it was phony from the get-go.  There were too many indications that the video was a stunt.  That said, the video itself was nicely executed: Convincing enough to make you wonder, at least.  A decent prank, to say the least.

The quasi-motto/warning I've posted on my site for a long time has been some variation of: "Don't believe everything you hear..."  (Sometimes it's "see", other times it's both "see and hear" -- other times I get silly and post "But believe everything you read!" or something to that effect.)  The reason I post this motto/warning is because I've never completely decided whether I wish my blog/site/project to be fully personal truth, or mixed/distorted by fiction.  Everything is distorted by perspective -- every "portrayal of truth" out there -- so I guess you could argue that by project is more of the latter, "distorted by fiction".  Yet I aim to tell the truth in my own way, though not by stretching the truth to the point of hoax.

That said, I've been tempted to hoax, though I haven't given in to the temptation yet.  I don't plan to, either: It's much to easy.  It's a cheap way to gather an audience, though it's fun to conceptualize and execute.  I have friends who always prank, and it's great fun just coming up with ideas.  For years, a friend of mine has wanted to walk into a bank wearing a ski mask.  I chuckle thinking about it.  (Then, after chuckling a bit, I realize that it's not very original, really, is it?)

Jen, let Kevin know this: He's got some interesting concepts, and he should continue to work them out.  Let him know that some people expect certain boundaries, though it's his choice whether to reject them or not.  There may be consequences for disrespecting those boundaries -- such as cheapening the value of his art, or losing an audience/group of peers, or far worse -- but he may find his own value in fulfilling these stunts, values which outweigh the consequences.  It's his call, ultimately, depending on his goals.

Yet he's got some interesting concepts: I felt his video "The Will" was a great idea, but poorly performed and produced.  Still, I applaud the effort.  Encourage Kevin to continue with concepts like that, if he is so inclined...

Sincerely,

Harold

And yet millions of people have watched videos of real people being
really beheaded. (Not me - it's an impulse I totally don't understand,
I don't like to see violence even when I know it's fake.) And back in
classical Rome, real horrible violent death was entertainment for the
masses.

Interesting, given that we pay for entertainment precisely to have ouremotions manipulated - whether we like to be scared or crysentimentally, we go to movies for that. I guess the difference is
that, with Hollywood, we know up front that it's fake.
 
Do we, though (know up front)?  Recall 'The Blair Witch Project', which was marketed as being an actual account...Not until it hit the mainstream did the majority of people know it was real.  Even today, there are a few foolish people who believe the "event" actually occurred.

Re: [videoblogging] Compression settings make a difference?

Vimeo's recommending Sorensen 3 and QDesign Music 2??? God. What is it 2001?? That's _really_ bad advice!

The whole reason that internet video is taking off is because of the maturity of several technologies and the emergence of new tools. Video compression has improved tremendously since the days when Sorensen 3 was the best thing out there. That's Quicktime 5 technology -- and I have no idea why someone would recommend it now.

Mpeg-4 compression like freevlog teaches is Quicktime 6 Player compatible. The H-264 codec that Apple is pushing needs Quicktime 7. Use one of these technologies. I use and teach the first. Other people like the second better. There's something to be said for not always using the cutting-edge newest technology because it takes a while for people to upgrade their software. But, hey, Quicktime 6 came out almost four years ago in July 2002.
I haven't heard of anyone pushing the Quicktime 5 stuff!!!

Sorensen (at settings that download over U.S. "high-speed" connection speed without waiting) has a lot of compression artifacts, and QDesign Music 2 usually sounds really really bad. In my opinion, that's the _worst_ advice of all -- that's pre-mp3 technology, from back before anyone wanted to compress music digitally because it sounded so bad!

It's great you experimented to see which you liked better. Those are important skills to work on -- understanding what's happening and trying out a lot of settings for yourself. Try out mpeg-4 vs. h264, that will be more relevant to today's technology.

And whoever runs vimeo should really change that advice! Come-on

That would be the Rollercoaster Effect. We ride rollercoasters because
we want to be scared, while knowing in the back of our minds that we
won't crash and die. This kind of fear with no physical consequences
can be fun. Emotional shocks to the system are only enjoyable when
they have the subconscious acknowledgment that what we're experiencing
isn't real. Watching a person get killed in a movie or a video game
can be enjoyable because we know in our heart "it's only a movie." But
when we don't have that assurance, the experience is confusing,
stressful, helpless, horrifying. And finding out we've been played
makes it worse.

Re: [videoblogging] Fair Or Not (was The Last Hours - Death of a Videoblogger Kevin Krutz)

Kevin tried to post emails to this list last night, but was having technical troubles. This is what he wrote...
(the final paper he refers to is posted at (or will be once it uploads):
http://teaching.jensimmons.com/videoblogging/spring06/research.htm
along with video of his presentation.)

" hey, i got in late tonight and checked my email to find this fiasco unfolded. I am extremely tired and can't respond to the bits of this discussion i've read. i would like to say that this post was not meant as a hoax--as to what it is now, i'm not so sure. It was meant as a response to an argument i had with a fellow film student who attends Columbia University. I argued, as i did in my final paper, that the new logging medium--it's new for me--is an opportunity to potentially establish a new genre, the limits of film have been tested for over a century but vlogging is new. i was impressed with the believability of the vlogging medium, which was starkly different from what i've seen of reality tv for the last few years. I argued that if the conventions of vlogging could be manipulated then new artistic piece could be produced. I posted this to illustrate that point. I never thought it would generate such a debate because my audience has been about 20 people--all close friends since it's conception in feb. Regardless, i believe that i will feel guilty for causing any strife--this was not meant for you.
I want to repond to any comments regarding this experiment, but i'm tired and need to sleep. I would like to say right now that, as to the excess of violence in my films and the films other my fellow students, there has been violence in cinema since Edwin S. Porter's "The Great Train Robbery" in 1903 and there will be violence in media as long as there is media. I also would like to point out that David Lynch, when asked about why he made EraserHead, said that it had a great deal to do with the violence of Philadelphia. My point is that Phila. is a violent place, that's the atmosphere that i live in, so some of that violence comes through. I also read a comment from...i can't remeber...anyway, he said that this piece was wrong because he "felt" a certain way and he didn't sign up for that. For this response i have no sympathy. I didn't sign up for the ideas i was exposed to when i started reading DeSade's "Philosophy in the Bedroom" yet my twelve year old eyes scanned the lines with horror and intrigue. I feel it's the same situation here. At any moment i could have put the book down, but morbid curiousity forced me onward. The people who were offended to reproach could have stopped watching this video, about someone they didn't know, at any time. I think this tendancy in humans to watch the "atrocious" (is that spelled right?) is what fueled this, to an extent. It's probably the same reason so many people watch those god awful reality shows. Anyway this was an experiment and perhaps it didn't work in the way i intended it to work, like i said, i'm tired. i would like to digest fully the comments made and respond when i'm less fatigued (I hate that word).

[videoblogging] Re: wierd error when I post to group




No, it's not that kind of message. Blogger generates this message when
a person is trying to post to their blog via Blogger's email-to-blog
gateway. I've set up blogs that allow participants to blog via email,
and we used to get these errors occasionally. So someone has set up a
blogspot blog so they can subscribe to the list as a blog and get the
rss feed as well. It's a good idea - I'd actually like to use the RSS
feed from it to follow the list - but blogger's email interface is
really unreliable, and for now it seems to be bouncing messages.

There are also some interesting theories about our ever-widening
circles of what/who we perceive to be "us" and therefore deserving of
fair treatment. Used to be that humans saw "us-ness" only in blood
kin/tribe - you still see vestiges (large ones, unfortunately) of

Just an FYI. The Kaycee Nicole case is almost a mandatory topic when  
reading about blogs (it's certainly referenced a lot!). For once Snopes  
has better coverage than Wikipedia:

Not knowing this particular case, I don't know if this applies, but it
seems to me that someone trying to manipulate sympathies in this way
and get attention actually does have some deep problems that need
addressing - just not necessarily cancer!

Interesting in light of an article I was just reading about how many
schools are trying to stop their kids using MySpace (even from home)
and/or punishing kids who post nasty things about each other,
teachers, etc., no matter where they posted it from.

But apparently Temple feels that anything goes in the name of student freedom.

Perhaps there is, or will be, a correlation between students who spend
their high school years being ridiculously oppressed and censored and
those who go wild in college expressing themselves in all sorts of
"inappropriate" ways. Recent reports (which I have not read) about
on-campus nudie magazines would also seem to tie into this.

It comes back to a point that I keep making: teach kids to use the
Internet (and every other form of communication) EARLY and
RESPONSIBLY, rather than trying to rope them off from this big scary
place. Then they have a good chance to grow up to be young adults who
use the Internet responsibly and with due respect for the feelings of
others, as well as their own reputations.

Interesting, given that we pay for entertainment precisely to have our
emotions manipulated - whether we like to be scared or cry
sentimentally, we go to movies for that. I guess the difference is
that, with Hollywood, we know up front that it's fake.

Perhaps we're mad at Kevin because he got a free ride on the "willing
suspension of disbelief" ?
