[videoblogging] blip.tv, my .mp4 uploads appear as .flv files? [ don't appear over iTunes video-podcast ]

2006-06-04 Thread B Yen



Previously, my .mp4 uploads appears as .mp4 when I upload to blip.tv

They've changed it around, a fancier look. My .mp4 uploads now 
appear as .flv

I'm using Blogger as video-blog source for my iTunes video-podcasts. 
Feedburner shows the .flv as enclosures, but iTunes is not picking 
them up when I update my video-podcast.

What is the solution?

Can I changed the source files on blip.tv to .mp4..?

Re: [videoblogging] blip.tv, my .mp4 uploads appear as .flv files? [ don't appear over iTunes video-podcast ]

2006-06-04 Thread Mike Hudack



Hey B,Your .mp4 uploads *should* appear as .flv (in addition to .mp4) on www.blip.tv, but it's your choice how they appear on your blog (you can change your options by clicking Edit on your blog at 
http://www.blip.tv/blogs/list/). Either way, FeedBurner should *not* be picking the .flv files up as enclosures -- we specifically don't use rel=enclosure on them, instead always including the link to the .mp4 with a rel=enclosure.
Could you send me the URL of your blog and your blip username off-list, so that we can look into this in more detail? I haven't heard about this particular problem before and I'd like to find the cause and fix it for you as soon as possible. You can e-mail me directly at 
[EMAIL PROTECTED], or you can send your e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED].It may also be helpful to you to join the blip-users group so that you don't have to send blip-specific support e-mail to the videoblogging list. You can ask to join at 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/blip-users/ and I'll be sure to approve your membership request right away.Yours,MikeCo-founder,

 Five pounds, 12 ounces, screams like a Beatles groupie, has my hair

 Mother and child are resting comfortably while I obsessively upload
 photos to flickr at three in the morning.

 This is the first of what I'm sure will be thousands of videos of
 Kayleigh. That is, until she's old enough to hold the camera and turn
 it on us. With a vlogger and a documentary maker as parents, you'd
 think it would be inevitable. :-)

 I'll try to upload more videos over the weekend.

That's a very interesting question.

So what is Steve Starr doing with Revver? Is that

 terms of videoblogging? If so, how?
 

Steve Starr as founder and CEO of Revver has a financial system where
an ad of the choice of the video owner's is placed at the end of their
video. This video remains the ownership of the creator and can be
accessed outside of Revver. If I recall correctly, the ad profits are
split 50%. Here's an example I like on the Dixie Chicks Not Ready to
Make Nice video:

Shannon,

For the record, meaning never comes from things - it comes from the perceiver.

Things are just things, until some perceiver adds meaning to them.

How could it be any other way?

Exactly. Who or what decides what that context is? A lengthy process to describe but much of that comes down to who is really in power. I'm talking about it in a bigger sense. In our case, we have values based much on how the system functions and keeps us all in line. This is not the place for me to elaborate on that as we could go on forever about it.

the same as saying, vlogs are perceived.No. I didn't say vlogs are bad. Having a shallow nature is only one side of how a vlog can be perceived. It was something I question about my own vlog and have at times pulled stuff down as my perceptions of my own work sometimes change. So often when trolling for video blog visuals one comes upon a massive amount of material, that is in MY opinion, mundane and a waste of time for me to be viewing. It's hard to find consistently good stuff, so one trolls and looks for what one wants to see. There is so much out there to look at that it becomes overwhelming and tiresome. And now... anyone can have a soap box to stand on and ponitificate without responsibility. I usually go in to a site with optimism, looking to validate. I don't find a lot of that yet. 
by example. here is a list of sites I trolled through this morning. I got lucky. there is some good work on these sites. not all of it, but some. all based on my opinion and what my needs are. what i want to collect and record in my brain to be used in another fashion somehow as I may pontificate about to someone else another time.

There is this fundamental process, where an object impinges on a senseorgan - from than instant the signal is translated into a neural
signal, and intensely manipulated, and eventually it is labeled - itis given meaning probably someone in association areas of the cortext(in class, I used to say then a miracle happens).
There is nothing that can be labeled or given meaning that is notenculterated.The best we can do - the only thing we can do - is to recognize thatthis process of subjective perception is reality.
What we think of as objective and emperical is ultimately consensus.I completely agree with you. 
 you begin falacy at that point. as well as personal manipulation, in order to control your world around you I guess I would want to know which part of Shannon'sthinking/agurments/perception would NOT be classified as personal
manipulation ... everything I'm saying and perceiving here iscertainly personal manipulation ... I can't imagine how it could beotherwise ...yes. exactly again. i'm not using my argument as accusation but as what i perceive as fact. i do these things as well to manipulate and control my world as much as i can to get what i want. there is a big hidden part of our existence here and now which can be attributed to the fact that the species does really only to things...eat and reproduce. Genes don't care about videoblogging. 
 langauge is a tool. used to manipulate in order to get what you want.
  I'm pretty sure what you wrote above would constitutelanguage, so, it follows ... well, you know .. I would say that language is the great and fundamental abstractiontool that allows us to function in the world ... and have interesting
discussions like this, I might add ...yes yes yes!!!i mean, we use this stuff in our vlogs. we generally talk in a vlog. speak. use our command of linguistics and continue and some of us are better at continuous sprays of dialogue and some are not. but i also look to be inspired. i look for a good model. the medium in a certain sense is so new that the lack thereof is to be expected. 
i really like your response though. ... well, that was fun ... Richard
hey. aren't you the guy that did the piece about the two walnut trees?

[videoblogging] The One That Pushed Me Over The Edge (was The Shallow Nature of Videoblogging)

2006-06-04 Thread missbhavens1969




Ahhh, yes. That was it. That was the one. I knew it would happen sooner or later. The 
message thread that might finally shove me clear over the edge as far as this board is 
concerned. 

I used to consult the board a lot. There's lots of handy info and tons of cool people who 
want to help out. Sometimes there's some neat heated debates going on, but too 
frequently there are just bitchy, snappish back-and-forths, wild oh, but it's so hard to 
interpret what you really meant in print! Oooh, isn't text just so ineffective?!-type 
misunderstandings, snippity-do-da's and one-line zingers that clutter up this space and 
make it feel like a high school..no, wait: a Junior High School cafeteria. Wait: An All-Girls 
Junior High School Cafeteria (yeah, and that's not sexist. If anyone here has spend any 
time around 8th grade girls you know what I'm talking about here). I go away for the 
weekend and come home to quicky scroll through the messages and find this half-baked, 
faux-profound, vlogger-baiting bullshit? An I'm so shallow, you're so shallow, too 
thread? Why would anyone want to participate in that? That didn't feel like an invitation to 
a conversation about the meaning of meaning, and the subsequent posts sure didn't 
read like productive conversation and I'm damn surprised so many people joined in the 
non-fun. ...making salad ? ...takes a meaningless swing. ? ...casey only stepped in to 
make a point that casey exists ? I feel like we've got this message group chock full of 
people who have are hell-bent on communication via videoblogging or otherwise and yet I 
look at this board and I'm astonished at the consistent lack of communication! 

 I don't feel the need to defend my apparent lack of depth to someone who asks her 
questions in some bizarre haiku-ish format just because she saw a video that made her go 
oooh and she realized that so many other videos don't make her go ooh, and 
I'm not posting this message to prove I exist. What are you getting at? I post therefore I 
am? Take that desperatly-wishing-to-be-existential, cranky, vague, meaningless thread 
about meaning and cram it.

You know what? Kiss my vlog-ass. Ponder that.

I've hit my message-board wall. 

And, no...I won't likely vlog about it. It would probably end up shallow since all we're really 
doing is attaching meaning to meaningless things in order to get what we want from 
others.

2006-06-04 Thread Jan McLaughlin



xoxox, Bekah.

I know how you feel.

This thread almost put me over the edge, too. Went straight to being 
personally insulted. Then remembered not to take much of anything 
anywhere from anybody personally.

We can all use a periodic reminder that deleting threads in their 
entirety is not only okay but often part of wise newsgroup strategy.

You're okay. I'm okay. Shannon's okay.

Comes with the newsgroup territory.

See ya in SF.

Jan

P.S. Shannon is a fella. :)

[videoblogging] Idea for a Special Videoblogging Day

2006-06-04 Thread valdezfilm



Hey Folks,

I want to throw an idea out and see if anyone would be interested in
taking part. August 12th is Home Movie Day, a worldwide celebration
of home movies in old film formats - 16mm, 8mm, Super 8. It's a
chance for people with old films to get information about preserving
their films from archivists. It's also a really cool event where you
find out the old guy next door used to be an olympic volleyball
official. See my latest post http://www.aaronvaldez.com/vlog

Anyway, not everyone lives in a city that is hosting an event so I'd
like to see if there are any videobloggers with old home movies that
they'd like to post on August 12th. If you don't have any of your
home movies on video you can download and edit something from the
Prelinger archives at the Internet Archive.

If you live in a city that is hosting a Home Movie Day screening I
encourage you to attend and interview some of the filmmakers. 

If anyone out there would like to create a website and manage the
Day's submissions for future reference please let me know.

This is a really important event and I thought it would be an
interesting fusion between old and new technologies that both explore
community, personal/local history, and so-called amateur filmmaking.

More info on Home Movie Day at http://www.homemovieday.com

I am not affiliated with Home Movie Day or the Center for Home Movies.
 I host an event in Iowa City, Iowa.

[videoblogging] is this camera broken?

2006-06-04 Thread Deirdre Straughan



My Canon ZR80 cheapie camcorder has started showing horizontal lines
on playback (maybe recording, too - can't tell). I bought a head
cleaning tape and ran it through three times - no change.

Any ideas what might be wrong? The Canon site is no help.
