She means me ... Richard Hall (Show) ... and it's a variation of me calling my wife Richard's wife, and my house, Richard's house, and my Dog Richard's dog ... and pretty much the whole universe as being my stage for my show ... and it's all quite ironic given that I am a buddhist, so I pretty much recognize that Richard doesn't really exist at all ...
... but, I do appreciate you clearing this up, given that she (Lisa) is not the daughter of every Richard in the world, and, it is quite possible that people might think of you, Richard BF, since you've been vlogging longer than me and you are more prolific in your vlogging and you do, I daresay, make some very awesome videos ...
... so, perhaps it should be "the other Richard's daughter" :) ... ... the other Richard ... On 3/13/06, Richard BF <

Thanks, Steve.  I did some searching based on that info. and found someone 
saying that 
another requirement for quality video on the ipod is that the dimensions be 
divisible by 16.

So 512 x 384 seems to be the magic resultion.  I'm going to try some tests and 
ask a friend 
with a video ipod to check 'em out.  Has anyone else already tried this 
resolution on an ipod?

Re: [videoblogging] widescreen in 4:3 scale

I shoot standard DV in widescreen, and I've had no complaints from 
viewers. In fact I see a trend from others to move in that direction, 
and its actually great to be able to play with the extra frame space.

Perhaps part of the problem is the marketing of HDTV which speaks of 
resolution and aspect ratios as if they're only in the HD domain. 
They're not. widescreen is an aspect ratio, and has nothing to do 
with resolution/high definition (HD).

My recommendation would be NOT to publish standard DV widescreen in 
4:3 letterbox. Publish widescreen as widescreen.

That's the beauty of TV free media, the aspect ratios can be 
anything, and if watching on TV, it should automatically adjust to 
the incoming ratio.

Regards,
  Richard

Re: [videoblogging] Blip and Flash







i think i see what you may be referring to now.  

i see that blip is using some sort of flash player on their site - i
had not noticed

if i have the right feed, it seems to be made up of .mov's only

http://k9disc.blip.tv/?1=1&&skin=rss

so if i understand correctly you are asking how do you control what
kind of player blip uses *on your blip.tv blog*

this does not seem to effect (in my case) my blogger or typepad blogs -
they just reference the mov files

it also does not seem to effect the rss feed either (in my case or in
yours it seems)

so i think it's just a question about how it appears on the blip site

but still a good question. i dunno the answer.  probably should ask
this in the blip.tv group

How do I set preferences on blip.

I would like to remove the flash video from my feed (or is it just  
simply on my blog?), or at the very least move the default from flash  
to .mov.

The Flash files are about 1/3 the size of the .mov vids and the  
'screen' that the video plays in. It looks tacky, and I would like to  
not see my work presented like that; professionalism and all.  (haha!)

So what's up with this new flash stuff, and how do i set the default  
movie type?

Thanks,

[videoblogging] Re: do you have a video iPod?

2006-03-13 Thread wazman_au

OK, my highly placed insider (seriously!) at Apple podcasting says 
the following:

"Not a great answer here. The QuickTime people tell us that the 
latest  version of Quicktime Pro only creates iPod-playable files 
with the Export to iPod option. They're working on a fix for the 
next version, but for now it's no longer possible to create iPod 
playable video with the h.264 mp4 export option. Frustrating to 
people because the export to iPod option creates larger file sizes."

It doesn't tell us much that we don't know, and doesn't really make 
sense - since an .m4v file that you get with the ipod export option 
is just a h.264 mpeg4 anyway. But there you have it.

[videoblogging] iPod Movie format issues

2006-03-13 Thread Dog-matic

Title: iPod Movie format issues





on my video blog, portlandjazzjams.blip.tv, a friend wrote this: 
***
Of the 6 people I've sent links to for the Fireside episode, all 6 report they can't see it, even on Macs and even after upgrading to the latest version of QT. 
Of my own 4 PCs, I can only see it on one. All others are audio-only, again after the lengthy process of downloading the newest QuickTime. 
Might I suggest using a less touchy, more standard file format, like mpg or even mov? 

I thought the Quicktime 7 upgrade would fix everyone, but evidently not. I'm willing to burn a special  iPod Movie version for those that wind up as iTunes podcasts, and a separate version for the video blog, if that's what it takes. 

What are people's experiences and recommendations with this?

It's not enough to sort or group by genre, it almost has to be more granular than that, like a 'feel' and tempo to the music.

PodShow.com is probably the best, but the searchability is still
brutal.  The effort it takes to find a single, halfway decent song is
not worth my time.

Until then, I'm off to see what is new on AllofMP3.com

[videoblogging] Re: do you have a video iPod?

Likewise I can see why you use handbrake, in terms of more options and
ability to see the effects of cropping etc. 

In general I am annoyed, this stuff remains too complex, by and large.
Ive just been playing with the latest iSquint and it seems to pop mov
files out somethines (when encoding to h264? havent dont enough
testing yet). So various things ahve changed since last time I used
it. I dont think it does dualpass, unfortunately.

So as ever there is still no 'one size fits all' solution, iSquint
will suit some people well, but I struggle to stay up-to-date with all
of the encoding options these days. Since I gave up caffeine time
seems to pass very quickly, but maybe thats a good thing.

Personally Im still struggling badly with what format exactly to use
for crating personal video library. First I couldnt decide whether to
use h264 at 320x240 or mpeg4 at a higher res. Then I ended up with
both an ipod and PSP so that complicates things further. Then there
are additional choices to make due to haveing HDV camera. Now Ive got
a HD TV and the ipod TV out doesnt satisfy me enough. High Defintion
television transmission is only just beginning in the UK, so right now
I can download better quality stuff than I can get on TV or DVD. But a
nother year has passed without me getting round to videoblogging. I
think I am going round in circles, oh well, I should of known that my
nerdy tendancy to always want to use the best option, would lead to
infinite delay and confusion for me. Wibble!

[videoblogging] Re: Top Ten Vlogging Mistakes

2006-03-13 Thread LeanBackVids.com

The only problem I have with using podsafe music is that is sucks to
search for.  I've visited each of the sites listed below (and a few
others) and none of them are efficent.

PodShow.com is probably the best, but the searchability is still
brutal.  The effort it takes to find a single, halfway decent song is
not worth my time.

Until then, I'm off to see what is new on AllofMP3.com

RE: [videoblogging] wife's birthday video

I can personally vouch for the degree of appreciation that Richard's wife 
had for the fulsome felicitations that everyone proffered and I even Video 
taped her watching the vid!!!  I couldn't get an angle that would allow for 
the monitor and Richard's wife but I did get her watching and enjoying and 
followed that up with a small bit of vid in which she thanks all involved.  
I will be posting that on my own vlog for participants viewing pleasure 
ASAP.

On behalf of my Wonderful Famous Father and his wife (my Mother Mrs. Show) I 
would like to thank you all for wishing her a happy birthday in such an 
incredibly wonderful way.  Words can't express how damn nice of you it was!

Cheers!

Paul, it doesn't matter how you see it, what matters is how the lawyers 
and the courts see it.

If you want to be the first to get "caught" just use some material for 
which you have no rights to, and we'll be glad to alert the owners of 
such material at your request.

Maganatune is specifically "videoblog-friendly"

Read this page:

   https://magnatune.com/artists/license/podcast

   Video blogs can put a credit at the end of their video of the form 
"The song 'song name' by 'artist name' used by permission from 
www.magnatune.com"

RE: [videoblogging] Re: Top Ten Vlogging Mistakes

Monique,

No no, I wasn't referring to this exact thread at all :-} I've seen everyone 
actually being pretty laid back.  I've just noted at different times and on 
different threads some snippy-ness...but again... the written word can be a 
very difficult medium to work with and it is so easy to misconstrue a 
meaning in the words that may or may not actually be there.  On the whole 
I've found my fellow vloggers to be a fairly accepting and helpful bunch.

Cheers!
Lisa

[videoblogging] Re: Top Ten Vlogging Mistakes

2006-03-13 Thread David Howell

I use Magnatune and I couldnt be happier. I emailed them a while back
regarding using their music and they sent back a credit card number
for me to use whenever I wanted to "purchase music" to add to my
videos at no charge to me.

The stipulation is that I promote their artists in my videos. Not a
problem at all. I get great music and their artists get promoted. It's
a win win situation.

With running an internet radio station in the past and having had my
fair share of battles with the RIAA, that's not a road I want to go
down any time soon.

Re: [videoblogging] Node 101

2006-03-13 Thread ryanne hodson

what can i say that hasn't already been said?i will, however, answer your questions in my own voice

After viewing the Interview with Markus Sandy on Blip by 93mm, you (collectively) are renowned for helping people to be able to vlog, which is a good thing, but in the long term:
is there a permalink for this video? i couldnt find it, i only saw an announcement on 93mm about the vlogging show in LA that markus will be presenting at. i'd love to see the interview though...
1. What are your objectives?

to teach people videoblogging and in general media literacy. give people a place to hang out and collaborate, use equipment if they don't have their own. be a community gathering space where we can hang out and teach/learn from each other.
2. Why do you want to take on the media?
if i'm reading this right, that's not our intent. more like supplementing "the media" and if by "the media" you mean "big media" then yeah supplement. creating an alternative might be a better way
of putting it. 3. How much do you charge people to go on these courses?
i've never charged anyone to come to the node. and now that MNN (http://mnn.org) is teaching, it's also free there.

4. Do you all still have jobs in the film/TV industry?sometimes. as a freelancer i am often called by a couple post houses (ok like 1) to do some editing or digitizing or general techie help. though i'm moving to San Francisco and i don't know anyone there. so probably not.
5. How exclusive is Node 101, could I join and do the same over here?
node101 is all about you. or anyone else willing to teach other people and meet on a regular basis.so yeah, if you want to do that and be a part of the network, it's pretty much up to you. as andy said, the more the merrier. we're a collective so we can help each other teach and learn.
6. How do you guys actually see the newbies such as myself, without any media training, videoblogging?
i don't know what you mean by see? how do i perceive you? media training is not required for videoblogging. that's the point of node101 really. that you don't need a BFA in film or videomaking to do this. simple tools, simple process, cut to the chase, get your voice heard. can be as simple or as complex as you see fit.
7. Do you have ordinary jobs or do you actually work for or at Node 101?
like verdi said, being a freelancer is never ordinary. it's just in my blood to not work in an office and always have odd media jobs. so that's my background and it continues to be true. Node 101 is not a job, but it is a commitment that a lot of people care about as much as a paying job.
I am asking these questions just to get a feel for this group, and to get a proper perspective to the kind of people I am reading the e-mails from on a daily basis. You see I thought it was okay to involved in Videoblogging so long as you had a camcorder, a computer with editing software and a broadband connection, a little bit of talent and a self inflated ego to be able to post my face on line.
who ever said it wasnt this? this is what we are consistently teachingyou, a camera, computer, internet.there ya go. get your voice heard. and a sidenote hereNode101 is not about the handful of folks that first started it
it's about the people who want it to flourishand make it real in their communitieslike cable access in a way, it's about creating local networks/resources that hook up to a larger onethough cable access didn't really succeed in the latter
i think node101 can.-ryanne-- me: http://ryanedit.blogspot.com educate in person: http://nyc.node101.org

Re: [videoblogging] Re: do you have a video iPod?

Thank you Steve. I totally agree with your point of view. After  
restarting the 1.2.3 iSquint is working now. I will try 1.3 test  
next. The crop in iSquint is a bit "in the dark" if you don't have  
cropping experience with farious EyeTV recordings which fall all over  
the map of what the cropping dimensions need to be. Is Squint  
ffmpegx? no way to change encoding codecs that I can see right?

I completely concur with your objection to the extra steps Handbrake  
involves. I am hoping I can get the hang of iSquint and make it work  
for me too. I miss the visual feedback interface in Handbrake. But I  
don't miss the extra time it takes to get to Handbrake. Is there any  
way to get iSquint to do a two pass encode? I miss that too.

[videoblogging] Re: Top Ten Vlogging Mistakes

Thanks Paul, I agree with you too.  In the media world, there IS such
a thing as a "cease and desist".  I was talking with someone from the
CBC the other day (more about this subject at a later date) and he
told me about how someone was compiling a Top 100 songs list for a
major network he said that they got a cease and desist order from
Leonard Cohen (or some boring musician like that) and they couldn't
use him in the FLATTERING Top 100 show they were making.

Similarly, videobloggers aren't going to instantly get sued for using
copywritten music/content... they will get a cease and desist order
and if they do not comply, they will then be fined or get a court order.

That said, stop worrying so much about it.  As long as we all know the
consequences, we can remove certain files from the Internet if they
are problematic.  I mean, it's not like you can just call up U2 and
ask if you can use their music!

Personally, I wouldn't use copyrighted material if I were making money
off of it, but if it's all in good fun, I think it's fair to use it. 
(I don't see many people complaining about the use of the Brokeback
Mountain song with all the homages like "Brokeback to the Future", etc.!)

[videoblogging] Re: Top Ten Vlogging Mistakes

"I still don't see that if you use a soundtrack  hat someone else has
performed, because you are not making money  from it, or shouldn't be,
then a piece of music is like an advert for  the copyright owner."  

Paul, I understand your thinking, and it seems logical on the surface.
However companies/bands/whatever place a ton of effort into their
talent, their creative products, their brands and their marketing.
They do not want to be placed in things that may not be compatible
with their brand plan. Or, in the case of very large/successful
entities, they do not want to be placed in anything that is not part
of their brand/marketing strategy. 

For example, we've taken great care to brand DivaDirectories with
strong female images. If someone were to use elements of our brand in
a vlogcast about biknin babes or 'girls gone wild', I would be
extremely offended, would see it as damaging to our brand, and you can
be sure that they would hear from a not-so-happy Monique. 

The bottom line is that I feel that folks should have the right to
control their own works. If you email them and they grant you
permission, then go for it. 

Also, I feel a bit cheated when I click on a vlogcast and what I see
is footage from a large film. I want to see ORIGINAL stuff from the
vlogger.

Finally, vlogs may be small now. BUT eventually vlogging and certain
vlogs will get big traffic. So, we have to deal with this issue now.

But, that is just my opinion. 

Anyway, this thread isn't supposed to be about only copyright. It's
about vlogging mistakes. So, does anyone have any others.

To encourage people to tell their own stories; to capture images and
ideas from places around the world that don't get covered by
mainstream media; to increase media literacy at the community level so
traditional disenfranchised populations can have a stronger voice in
civic discourse.

> 2.  Why do you want to take on the media?

I don't necessarily want to "take on" the media; I just don't believe
they have a monopoly on ideas, news, culture, etc. They shouldn't be
the only game in town. Beyond vlogging, I'm very concerned about media
concentration, particularly since the FCC started reversing
cross-ownership rules a few years ago; the less diversity their is in
media, the shallower our democracy.

> 3.  How much do you charge people to go on these courses?

Most times I've done vlogging training I haven't charged anything, but
that's because I often teach in low-income or disenfranchised
communities. Other times, it's usually been an honoraria rather than a
consulting fee. But as Node101 expands here in Boston, I plan to
participate as a volunteer.

> 4.  Do you all still have jobs in the film/TV industry?

My work in the media industry has always been somewhat ancillary. From
94-99 I developed grant programs for the Corporation for Public
Broadcasting; I then became a digital divide activist at the Benton
Foundation, working occasionally on FCC media ownership issues.
Documentary making was more of a hobby than anything else; my wife and
I made a few documentaries when I was in college in grad school.
Later, we made a doc on Thai boxing and managed to get actor Jason
Statham to narrate it; we then sold it to the Nat Geographic Channel.
My wife is in the industry - she works full-time on story development
for Nat Geo; most of my current video blogging work is a hobby, though
I occasional consult and do speaking engagements in connection to my
work in the digital divide.

> 5.  How exclusive is Node 101, could I join and do the same over here?

Seems like the operating principle is The More, The Merrier.

> 6.  How do you guys actually see the newbies such as myself, without  
> any media training, videoblogging?

Depends on what you mean by "see."

See as in "expect" or "imagine":

I never received any training; I'm self-taught. The great thing about
video blogging is that anyone with a camera and basic Internet skills
can do it; that's why I'm such a fan of the medium.

See as in actually watching newbies:

I use iTunes and fireant; see who's posting what on the list;
exploring sites like mefeedia, etc.

> 7.  Do you have ordinary jobs or do you actually work for or at Node  
> 101?

Here in Boston at least, Steve Garfield has done an amazing job at
motivating vloggers to get together on Sunday mornings. Personally,
I've been a rather poor participant due to travel schedule and a
sudden rush of baby-supply shopping. The meeting I attended had more
than 30 people there sharing thoughts and ideas on video blogging -
all of them there as volunteers.

[videoblogging] Re: do you have a video iPod?

Is that comparing 3ivx to mpeg4 from isquint or h264 from isquint? Its
not bad at both, but Id agree that 3ivx is a very nice mpeg4 encoder,
its hard to beat it for mpeg 4 quality when the right settings are
used. Were you using the isquint startup defaults or did you stick the
 quality option up? Were the better results in 3ivx quality or
filesize or both? How about encoding time? Feel free not to answer if
Im taking this too far lol.

I have a bad feeling in my stomach about 3ivx though. Its still not
been updated. A complete guess from me is that somethings happened to
the developers who actually made the clever bit of 3ivx, theyve not
released a Mac Intel version let alone a quicktime 7 one. Anyway if
this speculation is true, and 3ivx dont fix whatever is stopping their
development of the codec, then eventually it wont be an option
anymore. People should use it now if it gives you good results, but I
worry for the future, next time people upgrade their computers or OS etc.

A few tips:
1. Ten Copyright Permission Myths
http://www.templetons.com/brad/copymyths.html

2.  Info about creative common lisc http://creativecommons.org/

3. Find open source videos here
http://www.archive.org/details/opensource_movies

4. Or you can just do a google search like this
+video +gnu
OR
+video +"creative commons"

+"free video"

5. If you find something you like and it's not CLEARLY in the creative
commons, then simply call or email the owner and ask permissions. If
you explain to them what you're doing and give them credit they will
likely say yes.

I agree with Kitka, I still don't see that if you use a soundtrack that someone else has performed, because you are not making money from it, or shouldn't be, then a piece of music is like an advert for the copyright owner.  Nothing more than product placement such as a bottle of coke or eating a macdonalds burger.  Has anyone actually been caught using copyrighted material in Vlogs, who are just doing it for fun???PaulOn 13 Mar 2006, at 21:02, hpbatman7 wrote:  Has anyone ever done a tutorial on how to go about getting  permissions or using and finding "vlog safe" work?  If not that would  be nice.  --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], "Kitka" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >  > > Yup, the one thing that seems to bother me the most is people who  just  > > blatantly use the work of others without permission, and brush it  off  > > with "well, I love the song" or some other such excuse... > >  > > Pete > >  >  > What "irks" me is when people on the videoblogging group bring up  the > copyright "issue" for the umpteenth time... seriously folks, if you > have nothing new to contribute to this topic, move on. >  > Kitka > http://www.kitkast.com/ >SPONSORED LINKS  Individual  Fireant  Use YAHOO!

[videoblogging] Re: do you have a video iPod?

Yeah, it's a bug. When I tried it I had the same problem. I'm not 
sure what was going on, but when I ticked the "add to itunes" box it 
showed up in iTunes. 

I'm not impressed with the default settings. I get much better 
results from 3ivx.

[videoblogging] Re: do you have a video iPod?

No its not a joke. I dont know why it didnt work for you, nor why you
are so quick to assume that things that dont work for you must be a
cruel joke.

Maybe you found a bug or it somehow didnt like your source footage for
some reason. Anyway I will continue to reccomend isquint because its
free and updated quite regularily. Even if you dont use it, the
website can be useful for learning about any new ipod bugs etc. Most
of these things like handbrake, ffmpegx, isquint are all using the
same encoders, just different User interface sending slightly
different encoding options to the encoder. File formats that dont work
on one may work on another, encoding speeds may vary, etc, I generally
recommend people who arent 100% sorted using quicktime, investigate
these options every 3-6 months to see if they could be saving
thmselves lots of encoding time or what else is new. These apps also
help put pressure on Apple to speed up their own h264 encoding, as
happened in recent versions of quicktime/itunes.

If you enjoy trying different options then I suggest maybe having a go
with the newest test version of isquint, as they have fixed some audio
sync issues and other sutff, who knows it may fix your problem. Or
just stick with the handbrake option you are used to. Just forgive me
for the fact that if you give the handbrake options as best advise to
people on this list, I feel the need to offer alternative advise as
well, due to the handbrake option not being the quickest. If it works
for you then cool, and it certainly will get round any input file
format compatibility issues, its just that because it adds
intermediate steps that take time, its not the best advise for
everyone. I see it as a last resort if ffmpegx, isquint or quicktime
dont do what people need. Its not wrong for you to offer it as advise,
 I just cant help advising that handbrake isnt the quickest/best
option for most as its strength is in converting content from DVDs.

[videoblogging] Re: one video format for windows and mac?

Yes mpeg4 rather than h264 offers greater compatibility with older
machines & versions of quicktime etc.

Your mpeg4 files wont necessarily be any larger than h264 ones, its
just that at any given bitrate you can get better quality fromh264
than mpeg4. But many people use around the same bitrate for both h264
and mpeg4 (around 600kbits/sec, though some people use much lower).

When going for a higher resolution, you will need to increase the
bitrate or the compression artifacts will be more noticable. Its jut a
case of playing around and getting the right balance (as thered be no
point having a higher resolution if the final result is worse because
of many more compression artifacts due to useing too low a bitrate).

With h264 you are stuck with 320x240 type sizes on the ipod. Wheras
for mpeg4 the maximum is actually defined by total number of pixels, a
maximum of about 230400 pixels are allowed.

So 640x480 wont work because that would be 307200 pixels. But a
resolution like 544 x 408 that Taylor mentioned in an earlier post,
will work and is the right 4:3 aspect ratio.

[videoblogging] Re: do you have a video iPod?

Its a good strategy but Im not sure whether this option gives you
mpeg4 files or h264 files? In the past it was possible to get a mpeg4
file that works on both the ipod and PSP, but h264 more problematic
(because PSP uses h264 main profile and ipod uses baseline h264 profile).

ffmpegX recently added PSP h264 support which I havent tried yet,
maybe it works on an ipod too but Id guess not.

You gotta love standards. I added a search for "Bolivia" to Mefeedia, and it works:

http://mefeedia.com/feeds/6774

You can watch them in the browser like here:
http://mefeedia.com/watch/index.php?movieid=242621

But I get a "buffering" message without end.. the video never actually
plays...hopefully they'll figure that one out. Maybe it's just my

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Top Ten Vlogging Mistakes

I've seen the group beat this poor ex-horse so many timesThis is one of 
those topics that is so political that it can never be solved so all I'll 
say is:

Every creative thing that has been done by anyone... has been done by 
someone else before to greater or lesser extent.  Our World Religions, our 
Cultural Customs, the sociological makeup of World Society, our Music, our 
written works, our art. All of it is built upon the utilization of previous 
generations efforts. We all tap into the same creative universal brain soup.

  Should a creator receive credit for what he does? Absolutely. Should he 
reap the rewards of his creation?  Of course.   Should we use other people's 
work without crediting it? Hell no, nor should we reap a financial reward 
from it. Should we have to pay some ungodly fee for the use of said material 
in a vlog that may have a circulation of 100 or less people?  I think not.  
Should we have to pay some kind of fee at all?  H a better question 
is... if we Had no choice but to pay for it... would we use it? Then comes 
our moment  of truth as to whether it is necessary... or... easy.

Are we ever going to agree on this?  Goodness no... if we did we'd have 
nothing to keep our blood warm during the cold winter months.  Debate is 
good for the soul.

The true peeve comes when people lose their ability to be civil to each 
other in the process.

There is never a reason to be unkind to each other if we do not allow 
ourselves to be emotionally invested in the matter open for debate.

Okay.. I'm done now... commencing to shutting up.

Thanks, Bill.  I like the idea of just releasing iPod compatible MOVs.  I've 
been doing some 
research on what codec & encoding settings to use with Apple Compressor.  Care 
to share 
what settings you use?

The video blog I'm working on will be short (1-5 minute) videos.  Because 
they're short, 
I'm hoping to release videos at 640x480 size and still have a relatively small 
file for users 
to download.  But from what I've read, iPods can't handle 640x480, they can 
only handle 
480x480.  Unfortunately, I don't have a video ipod to test on.  Has anyone 
tried getting 
640x480 to work on a video ipod?

MP4 vs. H.264:
Seems MP4 is the safer route (i.e. more users will be able to watch MP4 because 
1. they 
have quicktime 6, not 7, and 2. their old CPUs would choke on H.264).  And 
since my 
videos will be short, I don't have to worry as much about the larger file size 
and bandwidth 
requirements.  Am I making sense here?

That sounds grim. I read here:

http://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?p=1401036&highlight=#1401036

that encoding with the PSP preset in ffmpegX will produce files that
will play on both PSP and iPod. The comment was posted on Nov 04, 2005.
If that's true (I can't test it right now) then it would seem to be a
good encoding strategy.

Can anyone confirm whether this works or not?

Bests,

Christian

Yes Steve. The interface. I love the Handbrake interface.

But I was unaware of iSquint until this post by you. I am not always  
on top of the latest stuff. Thanks for letting me know. I will look  
into it and hopefully become an iSquint convert.

Any particular reason you continue to promote this time-consuming
process, rather than simply using iSquint, which cuts out all the
intermediate DVD steps, and uses the same kind of mpeg4 & h264
compression that is available in handbrake?

Export the DV to iDVD save disk image then rip from image with  
Handbrake on a Mac to a compatible mp4 file any size you like within

Re: [videoblogging] do you have a video iPod?

You have to encode to a certain maximum set of limits Wazman to work  
on a video iPod.

544 x 408 2500 kbps max 4:3

640 x 360 2500 kbps max 16:9

Never more than 230,400 pixels total and never higher bitrate than  
2500 kbps.

This is for NON H.264 mp4 Waz.

Yes... besides new members, some of the older members, even people who 
are viewed as the founders of videoblogging, or as the most 
popular/creative, still use works they have no rights to use. What

[videoblogging] Re: do you have a video iPod?

OK the problem seems to be the same one that Verdi reported earlier in
the year. Manually creating baseline h264 in quicktime no longer seems
to work on ipod. Havent found a quicktime workaround or more detailed
explanation of the problem yet.

Solution is to either use ipod export (but I dont know how you will
reduce the bitrate further afterwards and still have a working file).

Or use a different encoder. Are you on Mac or PC? 

For Mac try iSquint:
http://www.isquint.org/

For PC Im a little out of date of whats available, there should be
some free encoders, or something like the latest Nero Recode should work.

Note that the iSquint site details some problems with files on 60GB
Ipods with firmware 1.1. This appears to be another bug, seperate to
the problems youve been having. I dont have a 60GB ipod so I cant
explore that stuff.

Apple will have to do real with the next ipod if they ever want me to
buy their stuff again, having been a Mac & ipod user for 10 months, I
feel let down in all sorts of ways. 

Cheers

Re: [videoblogging] widescreen in 4:3 scale

I think either way is fine. If you are shooting native HDV then use  
widescreen. Otherwise use 4:3 from native DV.

Macworld just had an article re. "video podcasting"
and they suggest using 4:3 scale rather than
widescreen in 4:3 which give the horizontal bars
(unlike the new camera Rocketboom is using. Has
anybody played around with the 2 sizes? I don't think
the wide looks that bad and it  fits my widescreen tv.

And don't forget DivX. We don't play on ipos or psp's (yet ;) ), but

more than every version of every ipod sold (video and non-video). We

Re: [videoblogging] Re: one video format for windows and mac?

2006-03-13 Thread john coffey

I totally agree with Bill in that most of my PC
friends can watch Quicktime. I'm still new at this so
I have bigger priorities than getting a WMV file for
download. Besides, if they don't have Quicktime, their
computers might be to slow to have a good user
experience anyway.

Kitka,

I understand your frustration. But, I think that the reason this topic
is spoken about so many times is:

A. There are always new users, so while the topic may be played out
for some, it is still a topic that newer members wish to discuss

B. ALL topics that deal with morality/ethics are 'hot' controversial
topics and will be spoken about forever. This is a morality/ethics
topic, so it will probably live on for a long time.

In the words of Han Solo... "well, ex-cuse me, Princess!"

How about suggesting a certain software for MAC and PC for those of us
who still film screens.  Andrew Baron suggested software for MAC, but
unfortunately I use a PC.

2006-03-13 Thread Stephanie Bryant

I only have one that I can think of right now.

Filming a screen.

Anyone here who does this: STOP NOW. It's annoying. Filmiing a CRT is
really bad-- the frequency sync problem means you always get a band of
grey going across the screen you're filming.

And there is no excuse for it. It's not like screencasting software
isn't cheap. Get some. Use it. For crying out loud, if you don't,
you're just lazy.

Filming an LCD is not much better-- it's blurry and blue.

[videoblogging] Re: one video format for windows and mac?

The problem is that there isn't just one good universal format. 
Flash comes the closest to being a universal format for Web viewing, 
but it doesn't work on most portable devices. If you want to be sure 
that your stuff can be seen on the iPod then choose one of the 3 
formats work with it: MOV, MP4 or M4V (actually there are only two 
formats MP4 and MOV since M4V is just a MP4). Also MP4's isn't as 
universal as you might think. It's not the 'MP3 of video.' Windows 
Media doesn't natively support it. And the MP4 that is encoded to 
play on an iPod won't play on a PSP and vice versa. 

But then again I've heard reports from some people who post in 
quicktime and WMV that the WMV is downloaded much more. But I 
believe that Andrew from Rocketboom has said that the majority of 
their downloads are Quicktime. Perhaps he'll correct me if I'm wrong.

Fortunately, thanks to the popularity of the iPod and it's 
supporting software iTunes, quicktime isn't all that rare on PC's 
anymore. It's pretty standard in fact--for people inclined to 
consume online media. 

I currently post iPod compatible MOVs and Flash, but that may change 
soon. The ratio of views that I get is 50 to 1 favoring quicktime.

Yes. Seriously. I use the text to determine whether I want to download the  
video or not. The descriptive text is really important.

My pet peeve is the long intro. Spending the first third of a video  
filming yourself explaining what you're going to show me. Cut out the long  
intro (and do a short text description) and just *show* me. This is the  
power of video - you can actually show me instead of just talking bout  
showing.

I would like to see artists compensated, but I would hate to see a situation so stifling (which, if we all played strictly by the rules, we have now) that many brilliant mashups (both audio and video) would never be made. I hate to see the law get in the way of good non-profit fun!
I own a virtual agency and I have to negotiate with every artistregarding usage rights. These folks work hard to produce their work
and I don't feel that it is right to take it without authorization.I am interested in this point - how difficult is it to negotiate such rights? Are there standard forms? What kinds of fees are typical, if there is such a thing as typical in this field? Is there a clearinghouse where I could go and say "I want to use Song X for my videoblog, which has an average monthly circulation of n, which is distributed by so-and-so means... How much will that cost me?" - and get a quick answer?
I would expect such a service to include considerations such as the difference between using a song in its entirety with no other sound (so that there could be abuses such as people stripping out the soundtrack to put on their iPod without further payment), vs using only some proportion of a song, or using it as background music with other sound so that a clean recording could not be easily stripped out of the video.
2. Shaky video - ala 'the blair witch project'This depends on so many factors. We all try to avoid it, but I don't carry a steadycam harness or even a tripod in my purse all the time.
My pet peeves? Don't think I have any. Anything that doesn't catch and keep my attention (very little - I just don't have time!), I don't watch. I don't bother to get peeved about it.

[videoblogging] Re: Top Ten Vlogging Mistakes

Oh, to be fair I have to admit that in my first vlog, "Branding Power"
the script is based LARGELY on a parable by BuildingBrands.com. I do
give him full credit, and I did change it a little.  So, perhaps I'm
violating my own rule, cause I didn't contact him first? 

I think one of the other reasons I don't like when folks use hollywood
footage and famous bands is because it takes the 'grassroots' out of
vlogging, and it kind of seems like 'cheating' to me. Just my humble
opinon.
