You should put together a little list for us, Jay.

One area I'm completely in the dark about is foreign language
videobloggers, and I'd love to know more.

Rocketboom uses MovableType.
A lot of people use Wordpress and it gives great results too.

I tried deleting the imovie .plist file, restarted the computer,
repaired permissions, and ran my cron tasks.

It didn't work. I just saved the project using the highest setting
quicktime .mov file.

I started another iMovie project and burned it to iDVD 4 with no problem.

Then for the hell of it I deleted the .plist file again and reopened
the pesky iMovie 4 short. It shared Full Quality DV. Go figure.--- In

there are so few that I can find.
i just found the latest:
http://www.ourmedia.org/node/129742

eventhough language is still a barrier, i think its exciting and
important for people to start throwing media into the same ring.
somehow the bridge makers will do the connecting.

[videoblogging] Re: Best quality video?

2006-01-01 Thread Rob Parrish
Ok here we go.

All the software I mention you can find via Google, and they are all
shareware or free.

You download the MPEG2

Then you use bbDEMUX to demux it.  I'm not an expert on this, but
demux means you are separating out the video and audio portions of the
file.

You take the video portion to DiVA and you convert the file to full
720x480, 30 fps.

Then you use MAD Play to convert the audio to an AIFF.  

You can then remarry the video and the audio in Final Cut or whatever
you use to edit.

I'm doing this from memory, but I think its all right.  Feel free to
e-mail off list if you run into problems.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: XXX on Blip.tv

We (you know who) replace the pornographic feed's thumbnail with an advisory-style image so the content isn't censored, or filtered, but at least grandma, or little joey don't have bare asses, etc thrown in their faces.  
We have to do this manually right now, and if the content is really nasty then we'd pull itthe porn, pull the porn off the site that is.  (Yeesh, hard to avoid the puns isn't it.)

i know its obvious...but try quitting out and restarting iMovie.
usually these bugs smooth themselves out.
you should be able to choose "Full Quality".

[videoblogging] smil with text tracks - sometimes not displaying until you rew to start of movie and playback?

2006-01-01 Thread Kathy O'Donnell



hiya, hoping someone might be able to point out a quirk I'm seeing with quicktime & smil movies. I tried out Andreas' Linukbator and then read some of the quicktime docos & modified the file so it links to a couple of movies and audio and has some text (+ the bug from linkubator). I'm just testing at the moment to see how it works, but I don't know if it's just because I'm cached.. but sometimes the text just displays the text region rectangle with no text, but then if you reverse back to the start of the movie and hit play again it works. same thing happens when it changes text part way through the movie, if u rewind and play it comes good. has anyone else seen this? and is there a workaround? I've tried clearing my cache but it still does it. 
http://www.aliak.com/files/smile.mov has the problem (or see code below) if u have time/interest to take a look. (don't worry about the content, just testing atm)

The porn is not authorized on Dailymotion.  Dailymotion is a French  
company.  For an open site under 18 years old it's the French law.   
There is moderators on Daily and you can  announce an abuse under  
each video (porn, racism..)

2006-01-01 Thread Paul Knight
Ermmm, It doesn't let you save it as full quality? share.>quicktime>full quality
this is a DV file.
Save it as a .mov, get a new imovie project going, import the .mov file and then share it as full quality.

It does sound odd though.

Most people would agree that spam is not a content type that people WANT
to watch. The same can't always be said for porn.

Seems like a bigger issue is how does someone like blip or Veoh deal
with the newly expanded 2257 reporting requirements? Wouldn't they be 
considered a
"secondary producer" in the eyes of the feds?

We

as a part-time professional pornographer, I feel like I should say
*something*...

Sexual content is just a type of content.  Like extreme sports.  If it
is labeled properly, I don't see the problem.

Of course, if a site says , "NO PORN" then they have to undertake the
tide-fighting battle tof trying to keep adult off of an open system.

I know that Veoh.com allows adult and gives you the ability to tag it
as such.  That way, unles you change your default settings, you would
never see the risque content in searches or on the site.

[videoblogging] Re: The Best Codec

2006-01-01 Thread Steve Watkins
YOu expressed surprise as to why the Real format hadnt won the format
war, I see the comments from people about the negative sides of real
as being the reasons why it shouldnt be surprising.

Factors that influence videoblogging codec choices include:

Image quality/filesize
Encoding time
Cost/availability of encoder & its integration into existing (& free)
video editing apps
Advice in various videoblogging guides
What percentage of net users have the required player software &
whether it sucks
Compatibility with hardware eg ipod

Additional reasons why Real is very far behind, indeed a minority
format for videoblogging, include:

The already mentioned evils of the player, really puts people off
People associate it with its roots, streaming & protected content on
large media sites
Lack of support for loading/editing/converting real files in quite a
few apps
Generally an unpopular container format, avi on windows and mov on mac
remain prevalent due to historical use, with a movement towards wmv
(also quite unpopular container) and mp4.

I dont really undersatnd why you'd be a fan of real if you are againt
monopolyware. Real is jsut as bad. Why not embrace a format like .mp4
container with mpeg4 video, as it isnt controlled by any one company.
Choice of encoder, choice of player. Just because Aple is doing a lot
of the visible stuff with promoting .mp4, doesnt mean they control it,
eg realplayer can play mpeg4 too if you tell it too.

I guess its probably really the filesize/quality issue that has won
you over? Thats fair enough, just cant avoid the fact that other
people may balance factors differently and so thats why real isnt used
much, it scores poorly on other fronts. 

What bitrate etc are you using to achieve the quality/filesize that
you are happy with in real? I would like to compare it to a few
things, as I am also very much influenced by quality factors.

Cheers

Steve of Elbows

Happy New Year, Michael,Just in regards to this one point you made: I don't believe it helps most users that there are free tools to get Realplayer out of the registry; most folks aren't going to want to hassle with that stuff.  I used to be a big proponet of Realmedia myself, and it'd be great to see them succeed again; the more competition the better, in my opinion.  They've got to make it easy as possible for the consumers (and participants) of content to use, though.

[videoblogging] Re: The Best Codec

2006-01-01 Thread Michael MARZIO



Andreas, Happy New Year to you,
I know that the real PLAYER sucks - I said as much myself in the part of my message you snipped out. But if you embed your real media on your web pages, then you don't get any of the crap, and you also get the most efficient codec. Pop-up blockers limit the damage if you use their player as a stand-alone. I am not defending these guys, they really do suck, but I much prefer uploading a small RM file of good quality than a mov file taking up much more disk space, of the same video with same quality. And WMV - well, there is a war going on, and I still prefer alternatives to Windows monopolyware. Also, Apple is not an innocent by-stander. They do their best to steal the file associations too, and also insist that their player remains ON TOP when playing, one thing that the sucky real player people do NOT do.Also, if you're using Windows, there are great free tools to get the real player completely out of the registry in seconds.All my users get a tinyurl shortcut directly to the final step for download page of the sucky free real player. Makes it very easy to find.There are no ideal solutions, are there?
I just went to your site and see that you embed MOVs. Well, if you EMBED RMs, the result is exactly the same. All the crap you bring up in your reply only occurs when you use the real player as a standalone.Mike Marziowww.real-english.com

In case you haven't noticed it the Real Player sucks. It's impossible to  find the free player on their website, it's a real drag on slower  computers, it installs all kinds of crap and hijacks half the file types  on the computer. Even when you think you've uninstalled the player you get  these pop-ups above the system tray notifying you of "great offers" and  the likes.
They can have the best codec in the world, but until they make a player  that works *with* the users instead of against the users no one is going  to watch those videos.

Not sure if this would work for you however there is a plugin to embed
Flash. It's called Kimili Flash Embed.

No idea if it will work in Wordpress 2.0 though?

Thanks for notifying us. We do our best to remove such content when we

[videoblogging] The Best Codec

2006-01-01 Thread Michael MARZIO



Hi All - I'm a new member with an important question. Happy 2006.
Nearly two years ago, I did a lot of experimentation with the different codecs for the big 3 players (rm, mov, wmv), trying to figure out which was the best codec for  the audience. I define "best" as the smallest file size for the same subjective quality for all 3 codecs, all 3 players.
Things were simpler then. We chose one audience, for example all users capable of streaming at 256 Kbps as our target audience. Now we have these elastic codecs. As a "member of the the audience", MP4, MOV, and WMV files, originally  encoded at 320 x 240 size will transform themselves to as much as 640 x 480 in my experience, when my DSL connection is really feeling its oats.
I don't want my videos to get bigger than 320 x 240. They are usually embedded in a web page where a size change is theoretically impossible anyway. 
My question: what is **the best codec for single rate clips at 320 x 240** size? I spent a long time, I mean like a good 3 weeks, trying to answer the question on my own, simply by trying out all the settings possible in every format, always using the same raw avi clip as the starting point. My conclusion is that RM files are absolutely the best hands down, and I just don't understand why Real Networks or Real Media or whatever they're called, haven't won the codec war already.
Big disclaimer: I have no interest in this company, and I hate their pop-ups, and I even hate them more for trying to steal all the multimedia file associations on my computers, but they sure as hell have got the most efficient codec. Whether I use the old free real producer 8, or the newer Real Producer 10 plus which cost me $, the results are the same: for the same visual quality, admittedly a subjective affair, MOV and WMV files are at least TWICE AS LARGE  AS THE CORRESPONDING RMs.
Recently, after visiting a lot of vlogs, I see so many people using MOVs and WMVs, and like everybody else, I'm using Quicktime Pro 7 to make MP4s for Google Beta Video, so I redid my experiments and came up with the same conclusions. Despite this, RM is the ONLY FORMAT that some free vlog sites do NOT accept! I'm sure others are interested in keeping file sizes down and quality up. Why do I seem to be the only one who has reached this conclusion in favor of RM?

[videoblogging] XXX on Blip.tv

2006-01-01 Thread Paul Knight
Dear all,

On the subject of Pornography, something seems to have slipped through 
the net and landed writhing on the pages of blip.tv It is also 
happening in Dailymotion.  Although a lot softer core.  The video I am 
talking about is called XXX and was posted by LeNoX.  I don't know 
about you but, although I have nothing against pornography, but for me 
these video sites both blip and dailymotion used to be a safe haven for 
me away from porn where I could concentrate, more on artistic value and 
creativity rather than having to suppress the urge to run to the 
bathroom every five minutes for tissue paper.  I have found that the 
worst thing you need when you have vloggers block is to get sucked into 
porn.  Or maybe I take this whole thing a bit too seriously, I wish to 
make films, I wish to share my creativity, it's enough when corpo's 
come on ranting about companies, I think that sucks also, big time.

Re: [videoblogging] convert to .wmv

2006-01-01 Thread Paul Knight
There is a download program that allows you to do this, but I think it costs about $30 for buggy playback in Quicktime then another $30 to covert .mov to wmv.
It think its called wmv player, made by flip4mac.  That's all I know, I have used it in the past.  But when you buy the player you get a demo version of the converter which makes 50% of the .mov, and appears in the export sections of both fcp and imovie.

Is there a way on a macintosh to convert a .mov file to a .wmv file?

(I could not find such an option in fcp, imovie, or quicktime pro).
