Number two, QT videos are scrollable to a greater resolution. Number three, QT videos are jumpable with much less latency. Number four, QT video have interactive capability such as hyperlinking, SMIL, pinging, chapter tracks, text tracks, meta-data containers, etc. On Sep 26, 2005, at 1:13 AM, dsdietzel wrote: Ummmno it's not.

I think QuickTime is a fine option for the delivery of content. The notion that it is somehow superior is simply not true. Andrew has already pointed out the reasons why Quicktime is a much better format than WMV. But we can talk codecs too. I'm by no means one of these experts that can get the perfect result no matter which codec I use - and neither are 99.99% of all videobloggers! I know that if I use WMV (ie. Window Media 9 codec) then I get a very poor result at low datarates (in the 20 KB/sec range) compared to Quicktime (ie. 3ivx codec). The Quicktime file has a sharper image, while the WMV is artifact hell. Videoblogging isn't HD TV - it's about good results at low datarate. With Quicktime I can deliver that - with WMV I can't. That comes in addition to all the cool advantages Andrew outlined. - Andreas -- URL: http://www.solitude.dk/ Commentary on media, communication, culture and technology. Yahoo!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Serious Magic and Vlogit!
It IS correct, though, isn't it, that if you have a Mac you can't view wmv files? Or is that not true?You can, Bev. You download the windows media player for the Mac. There's also a plugin for the quicktime player that lets you view wmv movies in quicktime. Its just not as integrated as most other things are in the mac - playing a quicktime movie on a mac is a very basic function. Also, it isn't easy to compress files to WMV using the normal mac editing tools like final cut pro or compressor - you need special software to do it. And some older movies that were compressed under .AVI format (the old standard for PC) you can't play on a mac, because the various players don't want to pay the rights to use old compression formats. If you make a program like Quicktime, you have to license all the various technologies from a whole bunch of different companies.Actually, do you guys have to do that with ANT etc?

Andreas, thanks for your comments. I also found something that may interest the group. The Photographer's Right - A Downloadable Flyer can be found at http://www.krages.com/phoright.htm. This is a one page summary, concise but (I thought) informative. Some of it may seem common sense, but nice to see it come from a lawyer. (Hmmm . . .

First off: IANAL, and this stuff varies by country/state so YMMV. We've been through this stuff before on the list, but it never hurts (because it's important). There are some important laws that may or may not apply: Libel: You're just recording what's going on. No libel here. Libel must be untrue and AFAIK the burden of evidence is on the plaintiff. Copyright laws: You can fall into copyright traps when filming performances and the like (concerts, theatre, speeches etc.). It's a non-issue in your case. Privacy laws: You were in a public place. Actually privacy only apply if the subject has a reasonable reason to expect privacy. When you're driving your car down a public street you cannot have a reasonable reason to expect privacy (unless you've tinted your windows opaque I guess). Misappropriation laws: Unless you're using the footage for financial gain you're in the clear (ie. no selling of the rights and such). The lady was an obvious crackpot, and I'm glad there are sane sheriffs around to keep people in line. I would imagine that if someone directly states they do not want to be filmed, then the courtesy is to not film him or her. Yes. Be a good man first and don't pull out of the big book of legislation. I've said it numerous times. Get a book on these laws and educate yourself. These laws *are* important. When you get sued it is too late to educate yourself (ignorance has never been a valid defence). I've read Pember: Mass Media Law. It's a college text book that covers all these laws extensively. I bet it's expensive, but you can most likely pick up an older edition cheap (as long as it's post-DMCA it should be up to date). - Andreas Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Get Bzzzy!

[videoblogging] Re: Second Life
Mmm technology like this has so much potential indeed. Ive been draming of it for years, but the reality doesnt match what is technically possible right now, and it makes me very sad. I dont think Ive checked out second life, but lots of others that use a similar 3d avatar in a virtual world type thang. All the ones I tried were a bit rough around the edges, years behind the sorts of 3d interactive experiences you can have online if you want to shoot someone in a tank. Its one tragedy to me, because I think of all the millions of development hours that have gone into allowing people from all over the world to shoot eachother, and what they have achieved. There is some brilliant stuff out there, but I dont want to shoot people, I want to interract in positive ways. To me the ultimate system just requires a few extra existing technologies to be merged with the 3d engine: The ability to project video onto virtual screens in the 3d world, and for everyone in that room to see and hear it, would be so sweet. Then we could all gather round and have virtual videoblogging conferences, tutorials etc, watch video together. I dont really know how good it would be until its done nicely and tried by lots of people. But Id sure like to see the virtual videobloggers multiplex cinema in action. Ultimately the idea can be taken further, and the faces of the avatars could be replaced by ichat type video of the peoples actual faces, so all this stuff merges together with videoconferencing fully. A lot of the companies who did virtual worlds stuff did not do so well, and 3d internet in gernal has not taken off like many hoped. I put it down to not-good-enough 3d engines, and people not being used to how they could make an efficient user interface in 3d. I can see why there is so much more money for development of games rather than this stuff, eventually the right 3d engine that supports video as a texture might be used by someone doing a virtual world thing and woohoo, my dreams will come true.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Second Life
Steve, I insist you look into this then. Because Second Life has all of that that you are asking for. Just d/l the app and give it a try. You can project video, You can create your avatar to look EXACTLY like you, you can do whatever you want if you can program. Its not mostly gangsters, its real life interaction and the people are creating the world. I heard Citibank or some other bank recently opened up a branch in there. On wed. we are showing an interview with a woman who makes a living selling clothes in there. Today on the site, for instance, it says there are 54,892 people flying around in there right now. Today there have been over $33,000US exchanged on goods and services for the avatars. I dont think you could get any better than this with todays broadband speeds.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Serious Magic and Vlogit!
You can view wmvs on mac (although some have told me that the wmv player for Mac is crap). WMVs are not bad, it's just that the platform tries very hard to keep the user out of the guts of the video ... You can however, for example, download the WM Encoder tool and play around with the compression settings and even add scripting to open up certain urls at certain points in the video ... but nobody does this and those of us who have tried eventually end up shouting out some string of curses at Microsoft and giving up. All that being said ... as a windows user I've had some really ugly experiences with quicktime too. It's basically arguing religion and people get all worked up over some ability that the other format probably can do (even if it normally / easily doesn't) or issue that each probaly has (provided you are usingthe right... or wrong ...OS). I publish WMVs at the moment (and make no claim of them being high quality or low file size). I've thought of publishing MOVs as well ... but with all my codecs installed and following all the instructions we've seen in this thread ... half the time my MOVs just flat out fail to export correctly and the other half the file size is no smaller than WMVs. (Note: I'm not saying QT can't do it better, I'm saying me as a fairly savy windows user can't seem tomake it do so). Eventually I'm gonna try again and find out what I did wrong, but if I ever do publish MOVs it will likely be along side WMVs as well.

[videoblogging] Is quicktime commited to browser presentation?
I'd like to question Apple's commitment and support for the quicktime plug-in for browsers. It looks to me that there has been a major break through with the introduction of the H264 codec for video which is undoubtedly superior (my personal opinion) to codecs that precede it. I noticed a shift in Apple's presentation policy for their QuickTime gallery site - movies are served only through the stand alone quicktime player. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/hd/ also, in QuickTime Guide, http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/ movies are now available through launching QT player as well. (the link to it is a .mov file !) Truth is that there is a current imbalance between Broadband - that has not been broaden fast enough to meet podcasts and video demands and the new and more accessible HD format (larger movie files basically). But still, I think that viewing a mov file in a browser is a different experience. it has that unique look and feel, different navigation options, and a great web history that I wish apple will not fail to acknowledge and support, at least for as long as browsers are available in this rapid changed market. doron dvblog.org Yahoo!

[videoblogging] Re: Everybody Hates Chris
Im betting its because you are outside the USA. Im sure I remember one of the google video options for content producers is to limit viewing of videos to certain countries. Its not nice because one of the great things about most of the net is its international nature, though obviously theres other existing services that are only available in certain countries. Anyway regardless of what I or anybody else things about this issue, I guess it was something that Google knows some of its larger potential customers will want. The TV world is still based around business contracts legalities covering certain countries, a TV company here in the UK may pay good money to show this series in the future for example. Theres not all that many truly international TV stations really. So non-traditional media videobloggers certainly has the upper hand with this stuff, dont have all the historical business models and legal contract issues hanging round their necks. Sooner or later media regulators are going to get their hands on internet audio video, I would presume. At a point where masses of their population start to receive programs using these new digital methods, they will effectively have to give up on the concept of such regulation, or else bring their rules to the net. The EU is already looking at such things, at the moment the industry is asking them not to regulate yet, 'its too soon, youll smother the dream before it gets going'. I dont want it to happen, Im sure it will be a long slow battle, but I dont think it ikely that governments will suddenly decide to give up their power over the sorts of things their people watch.

[videoblogging] pc monitor on apple?

I hooked my new powerbook to my viewsonic monitor at home and also used it with a dell monitor at work using the little conversion thingy It looks pretty crappy, especially with text, especially with MS word I tried playing with the font smoothing settings I found under systems preferences/appearance I tried them all, especially medium-best for flat panel Is it just a matter that I need to buy a mac monitor? (which would be a shame, since I have these relatively new PC monitors) Also, one last thing, is there any mac user who would mind me emailing them off list with really simple mac questions (like, how can I move something to a folder rather than copy, when I drag it - who thought of copying as a default when dragging something to a folder?) ... despite the fact that I'm at Missouri's Technology University, and though the IT people are really nice to me, and I know several of them, and they work hard, they don't use macs, and I did get some David Pogue books, as recommended, but I'm too busy trying to do my work to find time to read them ... boy do I feel sorry for me ...
