neat video; it reminds me of that cell phone commercial where the mother and

other. Obreahny O'BrienTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Wed, 14 Feb

Say heyMaybe they can somehow uhh"convince" Judge Alsop to let

[videoblogging] EFF needs videoblogger

[Jeff Diehl]

hi. i'm Jeff Diehl, publisher of 10ZenMonkeys.com. you may have heard
of my suit against griefer Michael Crook and his DMCA campaign.

details here: http://www.10zenmonkeys.com/2006/11/01/eff-crook-dmca-lawsuit/

we are in need of an independent producer who can go to a location in
or around Syracuse, NY and conduct a simple video session. i can't
give too many details here, but if you respond to this note, EFF
lawyers will contact you with more info.

i can say that this video WILL be distributed widely across the
webernets. there is no pay, but we can offer a prominent production
credit, and the warm, fuzzy feeling that you've helped EFF's ongoing
defense of digital free speech.

Ah yes, the ole "terms of use violation".  That's why they kicked off

Because they didn't like the content.  Phooey on them.

I've added the issue of what constitutes "journalism" and who defines
a journalist to the list of topics which I plan to bring up on my
radio show tomorrow (It should be interesting),  The show runs from
3-5 PM ET/12:00 Noon-2:00 PM PT @
http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/protected/tscmd/tc/13440 with an
archive running all week @ http://www.live365.com/stations/nuke93fm/
along with all the other stuff I have there.

I have not yet set up a podcast page for the show (Though I already
have one in the bag from last week).  As such, I'll make a special
effort to post a direct download link once I get the show uploaded (I
may even use Talkshoe for the hosting, I dunno).

I'll also be watching the Frontline documentary that premieres tonight as well.

Cheers :D

[videoblogging] Valentine's Videos

[Obreahny O'Brien]

Aside from Schlomo inquiring about a heart wipe, I haven't heard anything about 
making Valentine's day videos. Maybe it's just implied that you'll make one, 
but if you do so, i think it would be nice to share them with the group (or 
send me a link to them). Plus if you live in the New York City area and the 
douche that you've been seeing has neglected to ask you to do something for 
Valentines, or you're in fact the douche who neglected to ask the person you've 
been seeing to do something, or if you're neither a douche nor the one who has 
been douched on and would like to check the following out that's cool too: My 
comedian friend is throwing a "valoween" party downtown, which is a mix between 
a valentines day party and halloween party (dressing in a costume is optional) 
either way it might provide interesting footage. e-mail me off list if you want 
to go, and i'll give you more info. i feel like if i could get just one more

Re: [videoblogging] Re: YouTube - Account Closed?!

[El Destiny]

YouTube -- and now Flickr.  (Which is owned by
Yahoo...)  A bogus DMCA threat scared Yahoo! into
removing images from Flickr.  

http://www.10zenmonkeys.com/2007/02/13/is-yahoo-flickr-dmca-policy-censorship/

Even though the uploader notified Flickr that the
image was wrongfully removed, Flickr never restored
it.  And they also permanently deleted all the
comments users had left.

Corporations are powerful.  I think the services don't
feel they'll experience the same level of pressure
from their users.  (And corporations also don't fear
any organized user backlash.)  

I'm just putting this out there:  is there an easy way
to organize online users to send a simple, clear, and
direct message to hosting services (and the
corporations that threaten them)?

[videoblogging] Shoulder-to-Shoulder Instructional Media -- An Introduction to Tagging

[Beth Kanter]

Hi everyone,

I would love some constructive feedback.  My screencast on Tagging
(presented by NTEN) has just been released.
http://beth.typepad.com/beths_blog/2007/02/the_making_of_s.html

I created this screencast back in September/October of last year, so this
release has provided a great opportunity to meta reflect on the whole
screencast creation process.  I've thought long and hard about how video
editing amplifies my compulsive nature and how I need to seriously reduce my
ratio of video minutes viewed per hours of editing time! 

While I'm still very much passionate about screencasting, I've come to
dislike the term.  I personally want to move away from the metaphor of
making movies of the computer screen to more shoulder-to-shoulder
instructional media and perhaps something that is more participatory or for
lack of a better word, social.  Maybe it is more like moment capture on the
screen.  How do you create good instructional media in a reasonable amount
of time and do a good enough job that helps people learn something by
viewing it?

[videoblogging] Re: YouTube - Account Closed?!

[Kent Nichols]

Right that's exactly the problem.

We talk a lot about rights and such, but all of that is built on these
crappy TOS agreements.  Even if you own your own site, you're still at
the mercy of the ISPs up the chain of command.

Your speech is only as free as it's convenient to corporate structure
that hosts it.

Web 1.0 was more about setting up a static site, staking your little
claim on the net and building traffic, etc.

Web 2.0 changes the equation because the people are the value. 
YouTube is based on a $20 shareware script, the value came from the
people there.  Same with MySpace.

But the legal structures and way of thinking have not caught up to
this change.  There's a million little fiefdoms.  And your rights are
different each site you go to.

What I'd love to see is a set of principles that govern this new user
generated reality that gives we the users basic rights wherever we go.

That's a huge shift from where we are right now, and it will take a
lot of work to get there.  But I'm afraid if we don't tackle this
area, the door for new voices that has been opened a crack will get
slammed shut by the media monopolies.

[videoblogging] looking for Heart Wipe for FCP5

[schlomo rabinowitz]

Hey all

Since Valentine's Day is tomorrow, I'm looking for a free heart wipe
to use in a video, but I can't seem to find one.  (Plenty of star
wipes, though!  Those never go out of fashion!)

Anyone know where I can find one?

[videoblogging] Democracy Player 0.9.5 Released (final)

[billshackelford]

This is a major update, with lots of new features and an interface overhaul.

Download it here: http://getdemocracy.com

What's new in this version:

-Refined interface: simpler, smoother, easier to use.

-New 'share' menu on each item lets you email a video or post to Video Bomb, 
del.icio.us, 
Digg, or Reddit.

-Partial proxy support. We are halfway done with proxy support. You should be 
able to use 
Democracy Player with no problems, but you won't be able to access the Channel 
Guide 
from within the player. You can get to the channel guide on the web here.

-VLC 0.8.6 on Windows. We've upgraded the version of VLC that powers Democracy 
Player 
for Windows. This version has much better flash video support for sites like 
YouTube.

-Videos stored in folders by channel. Videos that you download from video feeds 
will now 
be stored in a folder with the name of the channel. This should keep things 
much more 
organized.

-Pause / Resume downloads. Long awaited! You can now pause and resume any 
download 
or all downloads.

-Better BitTorrent support. BitTorrent performance is significantly improved.

-Show seeding on torrents. In the downloading tab, you can see all the torrents 
you are 
currently seeding and you can stop them if you choose to.

-Drop-down for auto-download. There's a new drop-down menu on each channel that 
let's you set the Auto-Download mode without going into the channel settings.

-Thumbnail generation on OSX. On Mac, if you have downloaded a video that 
doesn't have 
a thumbnail, we will make one automatically.

-'Details' section. Each video item has a `details' button that will show you 
any additional 
information we have about the video. This includes details about torrent 
status, the 
filename of the video, the full description, etc.

-Retry downloads on network errors. If your internet connection gets 
interrupted or if 
something else goes wrong with a download, Democracy Player will automatically 
retry. 
Very helpful.

-Big fixes and other little touches.

That's a lot of new stuff, let us know what you think!

A COUPLE NOTES:

-As we move closer to version 1.0, we are focusing more and more on bug fixing. 
If you 
find any bugs in Democracy Player, please tell us by filing a bug report. The 
more details 
you can give, the better.

-Mac users: there is a rare bug on mac that prevents the application from 
launching. We 
will be switching the Democracy Player database in the next version to correct 
this. For 
now, you can get the application to launch again by deleting this folder: open 
your Home 
folder (it has a picture of a house on it), then go to the Library folder, then 
the Application 
Support folder. Once you are there, find the folder called `Democracy Player' 
and drag it to 
the trash.

-Ubuntu users: we now have our own repositories to help you stay up to date 
more easily. 
Add it once and you'll find out whenever we update.

"Where do we go from here? The sky's the limit. Advertise t-shirts and

Does that mean in the future you can put in multiple images that link

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Make Money With a Podcast, the book

[schlomo rabinowitz]

I absolutely agree with your thoughts about your vlog; they are very
similar to how I feel about my own:  just a collection of videos that
reflect what I'm feeling or doing at the time, communicating to a
couple people.

This also made me think about my WonderCon video, which I hadn't seen
in a while.  Turns out that I made it exactly one year ago!

Ya wanna see? Huh? Ya wanna??!?



I still like it, which, I guess, is part of what we are talking about.

[videoblogging] Re: video podcatcher on Nokia phones

[Steve Watkins]

OK it doesnt answer all our questions but its hardly a load of nothing.

Section 3.2.2 says that video can be downloaded to memory/storage
card. And can then be watched from a 'my videos' element of the software.

The RSS feed info shows that it supports things like media:thumbnail

Actually Ive just been looking at it again and found stuff about
supported video formats, which includes h264, details of bitrate etc.

I see no mention of flash, so I presume the youtube mobile site uses
one of the other formats that this device supports, but Ive no way to
be entirely sure.

Anyway I see this as progress, but I still feel like I'll have to wait
quite some time to get a nice mobile that can handle most of the
popular videoblog file formats, aggregate them intelligently, use wifi
or 3G, etc. And pending more info on the youtube thing, will spend
more years groaning at the walled-garden & cost to user issues that
arent going away.

Cheers

[Steve Watkins]

Cheers, interesting stuff. The User Interface looks quite nice, I
could do some AVC speculating based on seeing the real player logo on
the screen. Hard to be sure from just that video, but the device might
be slightly slower than desirable? Looks like everything flows nearly
as well as Apple stuff but then there are delays here and there that
are just enough to be annoying?

Youve got one of these and/or the N93 - have you had much experience
with this software?

Im hearing that the N95 is available in the UK on April 2nd so Ive got
some more waiting to do before I can possibly try one myself. But then
I go back to wondering whether Id prefer the N93, I guess I need to go
watch/read some more of your evaluations of these devices.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: video podcatcher on Nokia phones

[Mike Meiser]

Unforetunately that document was a whole lot of nothing. :(

THe only think it does denote is that there support of RSS is design
for live online viewing and that they don't have an experience
designer onstaff. It would appear the only way to watch a video
podcast is to brows the feed and download the files one at a time.
Very sad.

I didn't see anything about flash support, but maybe I didn't look hard enough.

My guess is the Nokia is supporting youtube's standard RSS feeds which
just enclose a flash file. While nice feeds you still cannot download
or cache the flash and you must be live on a fairly highspeed network
to view videos.

[videoblogging] Re: YouTube - Account Closed?!

[Steve Watkins]

Im not looking to put anybody off this sort of action, but I think the
arbitrary acceptable use policy stuff is an internet-wide problem. To
cover themselves, just about every hosting service Ive ever seen has
terms and conditions about what content is acceptable, and many of the
terms are vague. 

People certainly should draw attention to services which are
trigger-happy about removing stuff without good cause. Youtube are
likely to show up as an offender a lot because of their sheer size,
and as I sepculated earlier, they may be trying to save themselves
from copyright lawsuits, but doing it in a way that also removes some
legitimate content, and this is not good or nice to their users for
them to be so careless. I know Richard Bluestein called for a boycott
on youtube because he was banned and though it was due to being gay or
hosting gay content, whereas after some research I thought it was more
likely because some trailers he uploaded had lots of naked breasts,
and western society doesnt mind exploiting breasts for profit but the
mainstream has a nipple phobia.

So anyway theoretically most services are flawed in the sense that
almost anybody could find their content falling foul of the terms &
conditions, even if their content is innocent enough, and as far as I
know the services dont even have an obligation to contact people who
are banned and explian exactly why. I think legal issues will stop
terms & conditions from changing that much, so the best we can hope
for is that in practice many services are careful, think of their
users, engage in dialogue and careful checking of material before
hitting the big red delete button. Whatever the reasons behind
youtubes removal of the content in this case, its certainly sloppy and
shows no sense of responsibility to users who upload legitimate videos.

As for the grey area where content might actually be deemed offensive
or innapropriate, offends certain people, causes a stink and gets
banned, I guess those involved in any way with sex or porn side of
video have experience of this sort of thing. Even companies that
appear to have enlightened attitude towards such things, may change
policy at any time and suddenly crackdown on such content.

TONIGHT AT 11, NEWS BY NEIGHBORS
[SOURCE: San Francisco Chronicle 2/11, AUTHOR: Joe Garofoli]
Clear Channel's KFTY-TV in Santa Rosa (CA) has fired most of its news-gathering 
staff and, over the next few months, will be asking people in the community -- 
its independent filmmakers, its college students and professors, its civic 
leaders and others -- to provide programming for the station. Will they be 
paid? That's being worked out. Who will cover the harder-edged stories? Some 
will be culled from local newspaper and TV online sites and "other sources" 
that are still being discussed. "There will be a loss in local coverage, I'm 
not going to lie to you," says a Clear Channel executive. "But there are a lot 
of other places to get most of that information."

[videoblogging] Re: Make Money With a Podcast, the book

[Heath]

Actually I was at quite a few shows last year including Dragon Con, 
and I made a few videos.  I put them on my "other" site 
fanboyforum.blogspot.com, because well it's a long story(short 
version my buddy had always wanted to create a website about Pop 
Culture and I always said I would help so once it was up and running 
we were going to do a "show" but then life happened and welllike 
I said long story)

Anyway, I don't belive for a minute that "Hollywood" has a lock on 
creativity, this list is full of people who have proved that, 
however.I used to dream as a kid of being an actor, making 
movies...it was my escape from a very bad childhood.  Regardless what 
happens with the "On the Lot" thing it will not change the fact that 
I like to tell stories and therin lies my strugge.  What is my site, 
my creative outlet or my life?  It's both, some of my videos are 
creative and slices of life and bits and some are just me sharing or 
talking about my life.  

That is why I don't think my "vlog" will ever be anything because I 
wanna do what I wanna do, you know?  Maybe if I did just focus on 
the "entertainment" side maybe I could broaden my audience but then, 
(to me) it would not be a vlogthis thing we call personal media 
has changed me changed what I thought was possible

The problem is that I have too many passions, I love to teach, to 
grow, to learn new things, I value knowledge and understanding, I 
value communication, (true communication) I wanna believe that we can 
learn from our past not in some "hippie all is good" way but in a 
truely human way.

I only have question right now and no answers but I know that 
this "thing" is a powerful force and I love to be creative and I will 
continue to be, because I don't know how to stoptelling stories 
is all I have ever dreamed of doing..

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Make Money With a Podcast, the book

[schlomo rabinowitz]

This is how most of us started, Heath.  Just like you:  created video,
met other creators, been enriched by our collective experiences.

On the issue of money:  I don't think I know of any example of
money-making that did not involve a lot of knocking on doors.  These
dollars don't knock on my door, I knock on their door.  Everyone:  Bre
with Make Magazine to independent producers like Kent, Andrew, and Tim
Street had to go talk to those to hold the pursestrings; not the other
way around.  Heck, you even need a sponsor to believe in you for Have
Money Will Vlog.

On your most recent video, you talk about how you just made a video
for thelot.com, a filmmaking contest born-and-bred in Hollywood,
brewed in an agents office, made because of the hyped buzzwords of
User Generated Content (whee!).

Personally, I think these contests abuse the very concepts that make
podcasting interesting.  They strip all of the goodness away and just
leave the idea that Hollywood is the best way to be creative.   Or
something to that effect.  Just rubbish.

But then, if you, Heath, ran around say DragonCon (or come out to San
Francisco for Wondercon!) and interviewed your heroes and your peers;
make something interesting for a market you care about and believe in,
 then I do believe that you will find some money for your work.  It
won't make you rolling in dough, but it will definitely subsidize your
passions.

[videoblogging] A clever and well done commentary

Stumbled across this Video earlier today.

[videoblogging] Re: Make Money With a Podcast, the book

[leesarbarnes]

Thanks for the feedback - both those who answered me on and offlist.
My case studies were heavy on the audio podcasting side, so now I've
got a slew of video podcasting examples.

I'll be using a podcast to chronicle my book writing adventure. I have
to produce a chapter a week, so if any of you have tips on how to stay
focused and bang out content, I'm all ears. 

I got one tip that made alot of sense - having a bottle of whiskey
nearby. I didn't like that advice. I prefer good ol' Jamaican rum :)


Thanks,

[videoblogging] Re: The Equalizer

[Steve Watkins]

I like it a lot too. Thers lots that could go wrong, but Im very glad
people are trying anyway.

Who can really be sure what the educational, cultural, social &
economic implications will be for this thing. I suppose I would be
happier if it were tested more by those that can afford it to go wrong
first, and much happier if already poor countries werent going to get
into more debt buying these in bulk, but I remain hopeful that much
good could come out of it.

Im never quite sure how much the current hardware matches the old
written spec, last I looked the video camera was still being
mentioned, which gives it vlogging potential. The mesh networking, low
power, and really everything about the project fascinates me, so I
cant wait to see what the reality will be.

I cant remember right now whether these devices will go on the
internet much or stick to their own local mesh netowrk of other users,
so it may end up a rather localised or realtime, temporary sort of
vlogging, especialyl as storage space is likely to be a premium.

[videoblogging] Re: video podcatcher on Nokia phones

[Steve Watkins]

I cant find more info on the youtube side of things - certainly there
are press releases about deals they have done with different mobile
networks, to bring 'youtube mobile' to them. But I cant tell anything
about whether they are going to use AVC/h264 instead of flash,
although Steve Jobs hinted at that not too long ago in relation tot he
iPhone.

On the Nokia front Ive found a document with tons of info on how the
Nokia Video Center' works. Its not a new document but seems to have
mention of mediaRSS in there:

http://americas.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/6442fe0d-964f-40ac-8d94-89d4a17adfd9/RSS_Support_in_Nokia_Video_Center_v1_0_en.pdf.html

It allows downloads or streaming. I havent read it in detail, I really
need to get one of these Nokia devices to learn more, but they are
still only just emerging in the UK, always seem to be just round the
corner.

Also sounds like theyve built stuff in to enable subscription-based
content, and to enable network operators to restrict access (eg if the
network operator doesnt provide full internet access). This ties in to
what I am seeing with the youtube mobile announcements - that both the
web service providers and the mobile oeprators see money in this
stuff, and want to do individual deals with eachother to bring their
stuff to mobiles, and charge the users.

Cheers

[videoblogging] Re: YouTube - Account Closed?!

[Steve Watkins]

Heres my complete guess:

Viacom negotiations with youtube over legit licensing of their TV
shows fell through recently. Demanded that youtube remove all their shows.

Is Comedy Central a Viacom property? If so then the Daily Show comes
under this. Youtuber dont actually have all the amazing copy-detection
technologies in place, so they implement really crude attempts to
purge their database of viacom content, and your show is a victim
because its got 'The Daily' in the title.

Like I said thats just a guess and I may of got all sorts of facts
wrong, but the timing means its a possibility? If theres no reason to
ban you deliberately, I reckon the above heavyhanded incompetance is a
possibility.

Cheers and I hope you sort the situation out to your satisfaction

[videoblogging] Fwd: call for documentary ideas

Subject: [j2000] call for documentary ideas
To: Class of 2000 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

 Hi All,

 My London based documentary production company StoryLabTV is – as always -
looking for strong documentary film ideas with an emphasis on foreign
stories. Great access that helps tell the world's big stories - or unusual
angles to those stories - is what we are after.



Big examples: 'inside Hezbollah's TV station,' 'inside Nigerian militant
groups,' 'inside the Saudi Royal family,'



Unusual examples: 'a week on the Weekly Standard Alaska Cruise' as a way to
talk about neo-con thinking.



Unfortunately the competition for the few TV slots that are available for
international films is enormous (almost 1000 production companies pitching
in London alone to the same 10 or so people) and only the best ideas with
the best access tend to get commissioned. Programs we pitch to include BBC
This World, PBS Wide Angle and Channel 4 Dispatches.



Along with access driven films we are also interested in big international
investigative projects.



If your idea leads to a successful commission you will either be hired to
help make the film or receive a lump sum compensation (whichever you
prefer).



Hope everyone is well!
