[videoblogging] Re: new guy supplicates to the gods
Okay I think I see the problem. I've had this happen before. For some reason, unless you put a full url in for your media, the feed doesn't pick it up as an enclosure. I figured this out because I went from posting the entire URL to just linking to the sub directory where the media was located in wordpress and noticed that no aggregater picked it up. Since that was the only thing that I did differently I figured that must be the problem, it was. Also I noticed that you are embedding each movie in the page itself rather than linking to it. I wouldn't do that. Because the reader ends up downloading every video in every post on the front page whether he/she wants to or not. This could be hundreds of megs and make for a very long page load, not to mention a hit on your bandwidth. I would just link to the video and let the reader/viewer choose to download each video.

[videoblogging] Re: torrents
The problem I think has two parts. Both take time for developers to determine the individual advantage. Servers will improve (or create) support for BitTorrent when their direct downloads exceed their pain threshhold. The number of clients that support BitTorrent will increase as the number of feeds (that people want) become BitTorrent- only. Personally, I've only ran into one podcast that switched to BitTorrent-only (6-9 months ago). I've been unable to download it until about 2 months ago when I could get a BitTorrent client for the Pocket PC and use it with FeederReader. In my experience, BitTorrent downloads is a little more touchy than direct mp3 downloads. Maybe I don't have my download settings perfect yet. For my part, the current version of FeederReader on the POCKET PC can download torrents (with a third-party application install). The next version of FeederReader will make BitTorrent downloads part of the file management built in to FeederReader. You'll be able to One Tap play and delete Torrent files the same as non-Torrent files. All on the Pocket PC, no desktop required.

Re: [videoblogging] torrents
I think BitTorrent holds a lot of promise, as well, but as the name implies, its really only useful when many people download the same clip at the same time. If any videoblog should benefit from torrents, it would be Rocketboom, since it has a regular release schedule and a large, loyal following. Maybe Andrew can chime on how their adoption of torrents has gone? The other issue I see with it, is that for BitTorrent to really work, and for there to be a large number of seeders instead of just leechers, each client needs to have an open port in their firewall, which in most situations still requires a manual configuration of a firewall or router. Most people using BitTorrent today are early adopter geeks, who don't have an issue with this, but your average user is a bit more of a challenge. Hopefully methods for automatically configuring open firewall ports and/or means for establishing seeder participation without an inbound connection, will mature and standardize into the BitTorrent protocol and codebase. Finally, another alternative for those of you that are bandwidth challenged, is the Coral Content Distribution Network. I've been impressed with the results since we've used it for the Pawtucket Film Festival feed. You can think of it as BitTorrent between servers, sort of, or as an open-source Akimai. All you need to do is append a new domain to yours (http://myvideoblog.com/mycoolvideo1.mov; becomes http://myvideoblog.com.nyud.net:8090/mycoolvideo1.mov;), and voila, your content will be distributed and cached among the participating Coral CDN servers.

[videoblogging] Re: GP2X
We need more portable videoblog/videocast consumption devices, I agree! We do have the Pocket PC today. for US$300 you can get a dell x50 with BlueTooth and use your cell phone (with data connection) to get podcasts directly using FeederReader. Add $100 to get WiFi, and another $100 to add a VGA screen. What really will kick it into high gear is a $200-$300 device with VGA and WiFi and Bluetooth and 4GB-8GB of flash storage. We are still a little ways from from this. Today, it costs about $500 to get all of this (Dell Axim x50v when it's on sale and add a 4G Microdrive). We are getting very close to Pocketable devices with enough built-in functions to justify their cost to many non-geek users. I think we'll get there within a year or two.

Maybe Andrew can chime on how their adoption of torrents has gone? I'm largely frustrated myself over seeding torrents. I used to do it on my home computer, but blogtorrent ate all the sys resources and when I crashed or blinked, I had to reseed every last torrent. Painful. Gary at Prodigem is on it, I think. This new release that was just mentioned yesterday could be the answer if I can get it seeded on the commercial server and it wont eat resources. Looks like it uses a 3rd part app in combination. http://www.prodigem.com Basically, it makes the entire process automatic from RSS, perhaps the first time Ive seen this attempted even. Once it is installed, everything is automatic so once you post, you seed. No need to do anything. Thats the end all, I think. We need to get Fire-ANT to allow seeds to stay on when using torrent feeds and that will also make it effective. True, its still big bandwidth bills if no one seeds because you pay for all the u/l, but not more bill. I have a major bittorrent / rss combo rant, hold the cheese, coming very soon (so hard to stay afloat right now). I think as much as its expected that you have RSS with enclosure (e.g. Eh, welcome to the videoblog group. I didn't notice any RSS with enclosures on your, ahem, videoblog), it should be a torrent feed, as the #1 most important feed to get everyone on. The scalable view is this: The larger the audience, the smaller the cost. My new way of describing this long-term revenue model is like fusion; Instead of having your one big cost grow with you, it shrinks as you grow. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Get Bzzzy!

People who are techie enough to set up BitTorrent clients could then schedule them to download at release time and be rewarded by getting the content first. Those unable to use BitTorrent would still get it, just sightly later, and if they wanted it sooner, they could go through the trouble of figuring out BitTorrent... Just a thought...

Here's an idea... If you had something like Rocketboom to distribute (meaning large audience, regular schedule) you could release the torrents say X number of hours earlier that a straight file download. People who are techie enough to set up BitTorrent clients could then schedule them to download at release time and be rewarded by getting the content first. Those unable to use BitTorrent would still get it, just sightly later, and if they wanted it sooner, they could go through the trouble of figuring out BitTorrent... Just a thought... This is actually exactly how we are building the subscription model. People who use torrents will also get a 640x480, 2megabit file. Others will be encouraged to use torrents to get content earlier at reg. free size. The only thing that is really holding us back now is that app. Azurus is the closest I can find to do the trick. Its so ideal for us because we have a consistent release time that we can maintain, everyday. Pete -- http://tinkernet.org/ videoblog for the future... Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Fair play?

There are some metrics in this presentation: http://coralcdn.org/docs/coral-nsdi04-slides.pdf We used Coral on our http://openvision.tv/pff site, and it seems a variety of nodes did access us to cache content, and that we also received messages at certain times that we had gone over a node limit. Regardless, we know that commercial systems such as Akamai do work, and what Coral and others are trying to do is build an open, affordable/free public utility that does the same thing.

Desktop users get a bit paranoid when unknown packets start flowing in and out of their systems, especially with all these new-fangled Windows software firewalls. You may not squeeze all the potential capacity of adding end-users into the mix, but you also reduce the chance there will be a problem downloading your content. In all, a way to make this happen easily seems like the next big thing in terms of video distribution services, the question is whether it will be a new BitTorrent style open protocol, an open service such as Prodigem, or a commercial venture like Brightcove or OMN/Kontiki who will solve it in such a way that it just works like magic. +Nathan -- +my life: http://nathan.freitas.net +my videoblog: http://openvision.tv/itcamefrombrooklyn +my cause: http://studentsforafreetibet.org/blog +my skype: nathanialfreitas Yahoo!

[videoblogging] Re: torrents
I agree with Nathan. p2p technology is pretty certain to feature in the future, in all sorts of different software and services, but that doesnt necessarily mean bittorrent will. In an era where, to generalise, videoblogging is still searching for viewers, to connect with a larger mass of humans, the last thing it needs is another barrier. People are mostly getting videoblogs via web browser, or via Aggregator software like fireant and itunes. Its crucial that all the popualr tools support bittorrent, and fully, they must enable proper sharing and full seeding from users, but they must also make users fully aware of what this technology means. Possibly that will be enough, even if for easy and accessible viewing you still have to use a normal webserver for users watching your content via a browser. I do prefer technologies that can be more invisible though, such as the Coral network that Nathan mentioned. Users having to download extra software and even run extra applications is not going to help bittorrent to work for the masses. It remains to be determined what stance ISPs around the globe will take. Upload rate on home connections usually lower than download rate, and here in the UK they dont build their business or network model on most people uploading for long long periods of time. Apart from possible exceptions like Rocketboom, I think that videoblogging overall has not quite reached the right scale to benefit from bittorrent. At such an easrly stage of relationship vith viewers, and considering highish percentage of viewers that may also be videobloggers themselves, Id consider a more limited starting point for sharing the distribution load might be appropriate right now. For example the videobloggers themselves could be the initial seeders. Before asking all viewers to join you in redistributing content, lean on other publishers. The url fiasco showed us that archive.org has multiple physical servers hosting content behind one address. Nothing to stop loads of us joining together and pooling resources in the same way. Try to use a more invisible mechanism than torrents. Plenty of downsides to this idea, just thinking out loud. I remember the BBS download/upload ratio days, loved it but always, whatever the system, I see only a minority who really care to share the load. Becomes much more popular if there is no alternative though. Because all this stuff is a pain in the bum, other helpful alternatives like archive.org will probably slow the progress of p2p stuff, they are an easier option. Necessity is the mother of invention. Also in practise we dont know how many videoblogs there will be whose sucess with viewing numbers dont end up translating to sucess with sustainability. eg with popularity comes quite a number of possible new methods for getting cash to fund more traditional hosting methods. Generous benefactors who want to support your work, sponsorship, that sort of thing. Steve of Elbows --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Nathanial Freitas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think BitTorrent holds a lot of promise, as well, but as the name implies, its really only useful when many people download the same clip at the same time. If any videoblog should benefit from torrents, it would be Rocketboom, since it has a regular release schedule and a large, loyal following. Maybe Andrew can chime on how their adoption of torrents has gone? The other issue I see with it, is that for BitTorrent to really work, and for there to be a large number of seeders instead of just leechers, each client needs to have an open port in their firewall, which in most situations still requires a manual configuration of a firewall or router. Most people using BitTorrent today are early adopter geeks, who don't have an issue with this, but your average user is a bit more of a challenge. Hopefully methods for automatically configuring open firewall ports and/or means for establishing seeder participation without an inbound connection, will mature and standardize into the BitTorrent protocol and codebase. Finally, another alternative for those of you that are bandwidth challenged, is the Coral Content Distribution Network. I've been impressed with the results since we've used it for the Pawtucket Film Festival feed. You can think of it as BitTorrent between servers, sort of, or as an open-source Akimai. All you need to do is append a new domain to yours (http://myvideoblog.com/mycoolvideo1.mov; becomes http://myvideoblog.com.nyud.net:8090/mycoolvideo1.mov;), and voila, your content will be distributed and cached among the participating Coral CDN servers. People requesting your content will be routed to the closest, most available node. I like this model because it requires zero effort for the end-user.

Re: [videoblogging] torrents
Another of these things to add to the mix: http://swarmcast.net/ I've talked with these guys. Seems somewhere between Coral and Dijjer. As a content publisher, you can append a simple extension to your URL (like Coral). There is also a plugin that can be downloaded and installed (like Dijjer) to give users P2P capability to contribute to bandwidth load of files served via Swarmcast... or at least that's what I gather from a quick read. Its also free. So, these things are on the horizon. Remains to be seen which way adoption will break. My personal opinion is that adoption won't spread unless the technology is directly built into the web browser so I don't have to d/l and install a plugin. -josh On 9/20/05, Nathanial Freitas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Michael Sullivan wrote: What do you think about dijjer.org http://dijjer.org? Its like a fusion of Coral and BitTorrent. Seems interesting, a bit like OMN.org/Kontiki Grid, as well. Seems like they have also solved the firewall configuration issue. However, I like the idea of Coral because there is no client piece, no desktop configuration. Desktop users get a bit paranoid when unknown packets start flowing in and out of their systems, especially with all these new-fangled Windows software firewalls. You may not squeeze all the potential capacity of adding end-users into the mix, but you also reduce the chance there will be a problem downloading your content. In all, a way to make this happen easily seems like the next big thing in terms of video distribution services, the question is whether it will be a new BitTorrent style open protocol, an open service such as Prodigem, or a commercial venture like Brightcove or OMN/Kontiki who will solve it in such a way that it just works like magic. +Nathan -- +my life: http://nathan.freitas.net +my videoblog: http://openvision.tv/itcamefrombrooklyn +my cause: http://studentsforafreetibet.org/blog +my skype: nathanialfreitas Yahoo!

This feed is not working with the iTunes client. A manual subscription attempt yields nothing on the Podcast page. You need to go back into feedburner to make it iTunes compatible. There is an iTunes compatibility section in feedburner you can tweak to make it work with iTunes, even if it is only manually added - which is what I tried to do. It goes into NetNewsWire Lite just fine. But you have it set to not display the complete posts so we can't see the video jpgs and link to the video from NetNewsWire either. If you go back into feedburner and and change your settings to allow complete display of posts then readers won't have to go to the site to see the videos - unless that is your intention in which case you will lose a lot of viewers.

[videoblogging] Anybody know how to convert WMV to MPEG
I have found some programs that will do the conversion, but they all cost $$. I'm looking for a free one. I'm trying to convert wmv to mpeg because I want vimeo.com to put a thumbnail of my video in the preview clip. When I use an mpeg there is no preview clip. Any help would be great. Paul Yahoo!

[videoblogging] Videoblogging for Beginners
I've been chatting with a couple of rank beginners, like myself, who, while we find this group interesting, also find that most of the time we are in wy over our heads. I know that I've suggested before a spin-off group for beginners like us, so I've just started one. If there are any other floundering newbies on this list, check out: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Vblog/ (of course there's nothing to check out yet--I just started it). My statement for the group is: "There is an excellent discussion group for videoblogging. But it's designed for people who know what they're doing. This group is for those of us who are just starting out, who are still struggling with what exactly IS an RSS feed anyway? It's still good to join the other group for to learn at the feet of the experts, but for those of us who can't understand 90% of the content, this is the group for us!" I will be curious to know who (if anybody) decides to join this group! -Bev YAHOO! GROUPS LINKS Visit your group "videoblogging" on the web.

This group is designed for the beginner! The 90% that sounds to technical is just people amusing themselves until someone needs help. When I first joined this group I didn't understand 90% of what people were talking about either (I think I'm up to maybe 50% now) but after a while some of it started to make sense. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, stay in this group! I (and maybe others?) don't want to watch another group. It'll be easier for everyone, I think, if we all read the same group. Besides, the really technical talk about RSS has it's own group so we all don't have to be bombarded with the minutia of goab blah blah, daose, xml gkdfaeo. I just check the podcaster box on the Feedburner front page and let them do all the work. -- Verdi URL: http://michaelverdi.com/ URL: http://freevlog.org/ URL: http://node101.org/ Yahoo!

[videoblogging] Working towards cool blog for girls
So... been working on a video blog (I posted some examples some time ago and they sucked, so we took them down) Anyways, the idea is to have a blog which has cool projects for girls to make which require them to interact with electronics for example: a purse that lights up when your cell phone rings. This idea hacks into an already existing cheap package and referbishes it in the purse. We are conflicted between teaching the basic technologies (how to solder, make a circuit, use capacitors) getting the interest of 14 year old girls What advice would you give to make a blog like this successful?

The site has to look top notch.Rentacoder.com http://Rentacoder.com is the place to go. Very many great coders in there. I can recommend a team of coders in Macedonia that use the screen name bubi1979. Unsolicited advice: These kind of sites are popping up almost weekly now, trying to become the place to go for the videoblogging community. With so much competition, the site will have to be incredibly unique to be successful. Even then, it will be hard to pull people away from their current favorite "community" places. Not trying to discourage you, just letting you know what's out there so you don't make the mistake so many others are, of making the same thing over and over again.Thanks for the advice, I make a great web site and take the time to build it well.My partner in this is a channel 4 video producer, so we hope to be able to add professional advice and tarket people who would like design and editing advice from a pro-video man.I know it will be a difficult market etc, but we will be very much community based and ..well selling pencils is competetive ;). I have a few contacts I can advertise/market (off line as well) etc well from.To be frank there are lots of site im sure but I have only seen a few I like the look of.
