Re: [videoblogging] Re: Vlog Newbie needs assistance!
Re: the black borders -- you're showing a TV-style sized video inside a movie-style player window that is 400 x 300. Change the width= and height= specification of your player object to fit the size of the video. Be sure to include room for the player controls. For 320 x 240 video use width="320" height="240" but add more pixels to the height to include the controls, so width="320" height="300". The height is currently fine, and I don't really think the black borders are that bad. If you ever plan to have any widescreen video, then your viewers will be accustomed to the 16:9 ratio of the screen. Good luck with your project! --Beth Remy Chevalier wrote: Again, this is just my test page: http://www.electrifyingtimes.com/attackhybrid.html ...

The properties of the video itself tell me it's 400x300.

Re: [videoblogging] Ourmedia download stats...is this for real?
hmm.. i can;t see a 'more' button apart from the one by 'syndication'.. ?No, thats probably just for me to see in my account. I never did get those 2 files up, i just uploaded them again with different names and it seemed to work. Still can't figure out these really high numbers for views, though.Are the views direct links from ourmedia? Or times the file has been active? If someone pulls the video from your feed, does that count as a "view"?b - Brett Gaylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.etherworks.ca YAHOO! GROUPS LINKS Visit your group "videoblogging" on the web.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Vlog Newbie needs assistance!
This is a bit of a problem with Windows Media Player. If you right click to open the context menu and check the Properties, it will give you the specs of the player view, not of the video itself. It resizes itself width-wise to whatever value you set, but height has to be correct or things get cut off. Remy's got it beat, now, but I wanted to just follow up with that bit of info for the archives in case someone else runs into this. --Beth Remy Chevalier wrote: > ... looks great now! > > --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Remy Chevalier" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > The properties of the video itself tell me it's 400x300.

[videoblogging] Unstopable Violations?
Here is a link I found of videos someone uploaded to Vimeo of Paul McCartney on his current tour: http://www.vimeo.com/clip=8968 They are short little harmless clips, yet you are not legally allowed to record and distribute content taken from a concert like this. The videos seem to have been taken from a mobile phone. Think of how MANY people used their mobile phones to take video or used small video cameras that they got in to record the concerts. Most of these people are likely not digital video enthusiasts, but just use their camera for little clips like this for themselves and maybe a few friends. Now that its becoming more easy and more option are avil. to upload the clips like pics, it will be impossible for the record labels to go around and take all of these clips down. Yahoo!

[videoblogging] Re: Vlog Newbie needs assistance!
Yeah, that is annoying but it is not nearly as bad as when you go to a vlog's homepage that has every posts loading an embedded video. That is cause for an instant click on stop and back. Most blogging software supports a post summary and a post body. We use the summary on all non-post pages as well as our feed. It includes a photo and teaser text that link to the post. The post body is displayed only on the individual post page and includes the embedded video and the same teaser text, along with an extra content. Oh, and we use a JavaScript function to write out the video code because it helps to avoids invalid XHTML. I'm working on building a separate CMS to allow extra content to be associated with WordPress posts. For example, I'd like to associate a video, a photo thumbnail, a larger photo, amazon products, etc. The cool part is that the hand-coding of photos and embedded video could be dynamically generated from the new CMS. Rather than build all this into WordPress, it seems much easier to build it in parallel. -Matt http://www.leanbackvids.com/ http://www.vlogmap.org/ --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Chris Nolan.ca" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Personally, I'd recommend vloggers embed > > their movies as well as provide a directly link (maybe at the bottom). > > Do others find it annoying though that when they are watching the > video in ANT and the embedded video starts playing in the HTML area? > Not only does one have to go pause the embedded one, but the bandwidth > savings for the host are lost since it's coming down a second time. > > I guess one has to balance the viewers, do most watch the video on the > webpage, or through the feed?
