[videoblogging] Re:cell phone website? question??

2007-06-13 Thread Gromik Tohoku
Hi everyone,

as a newbie in cell phones, I would like to know if it
is possible to embed a video from blip.tv onto a cell
phone.

If that is not possible, my next question is, how is
it possible to insert a video into a wml document?

I have a h264 5minute video and I can not insert it
into a wml doc. I am using Adobe Go Live, and they
offer either QT or SWF as video embedding options.

Thanks in advance for offering any advice.

Congrats! Can't wait to see the footage.

Got a call yesterday from a local NJ rag about the Federal Shield law issue

[videoblogging] More Colbert

2007-06-13 Thread bordercollieaustralianshepherd
Josh, you indeed held your own very well.

I'd like to start up a discussion that began a few months back. 

I'll try to be clever ...

Credentials,/Credibility (interchangeable), Content Creators,
Consumers, Copyright and  Corporate Control. Or navigating the 7 C's.
(for the pirate in all of us)

One thing that is obvious. Made even more so with Wolf's Colbert
appearance last night. Explaining the position Josh took is nearly
impossible to make clear in a short period of time. It is even harder
when the point is lost trying to compare a citizen to a journalist.

30+ years ago the Journalist was a reporter first a personality
second. Times change.

Take a look at the headlines today. Blair bashes the press
.
Rather and Moonves

we just endured days of Paris without the Riviera.

Now is a good  time to revisit organizing a Association of online
content producers or some other descriptive name.

Like my Fav Faux Facilitator would say... What say you?


On a related Colbert note:

[videoblogging] Citizen journalists deserve to be heard

2007-06-13 Thread bordercollieaustralianshepherd
I threw out a discussion request and like always, coming back to add
to it.

Depending on your POV, determines what resonates.

One citizen journalist
http://blackboxvoting.org/

Watergates, Watersheds & Manchurian Candidates

Nearly four long years ago this column "Sludge Report #154 - Bigger
Than Watergate" (archive version in original July, 2003 livery)
heralded a watershed in the history of US Democracy in the form of a
remarkable piece of online citizen research published on Scoop.co.nz –
Bev Harris's seminal article " Inside A U.S. Election Vote Counting
Program".

A site with similar goal, worth mentioning.
http://blackboxvoting.com/

I used the above because it was quick to grab. Josh made a better
point ... Tom Paine (in the ass?)

The day that CNN and others (including my local TV, Radio and print)
started accepting and ENCOURAGING people to particapate by sending in
VIDEO, the blurry line was lost. If the MSM is willing to use (not
always pay for) stories they will use in a news cast, I feel confident
that Citizen journalism is deserving of protection under the law.

Just me framing a position.

Simonds is the life of this video party

By Jonathan Levitt, Globe Correspondent  |  June 13, 2007

SALEM -- For the latest episode of her new video blog, cookbook  
author Nina Simonds is bouncing around her kitchen throwing together  
what she calls the "best dumplings ever." She's funny and charmingly  
scatterbrained, with red ballet slippers on her feet, eye glasses  
perched on her head, and a voice hoarse from talking and talking and  
talking.

Also in the kitchen is Julie Lutts, her tall blonde recipe tester;  
Ingrid Schwamb, her personal assistant; Maureen Yasi, a shorter  
blondish recipe tester; and Steve Garfield, the quirky Jamaica Plain- 
based video blog pioneer who tapes the show. Everyone is laughing,  
cooking, getting bossed around, and mugging for the camera. It's like  
they're not really doing anything serious here, which is why  
Simonds's vlog, spicesof life.com , is becoming a hit.

Yes you can moblog from a cell with flickr. I do it frequently. Also 
you can post videos to the web from your cell via blip and youtube. 
Basically it just involves emailing the photo or movie from your phone 
to the service of your choice via a special email address.

Re: [videoblogging] YouTube to have H.264 versions

2007-06-13 Thread andrew michael baron
This news re: youtube certainly helps to change my opinion about H. 
264's adoption potential.

I think my prior comments on 3ivx went up against H.264 but I still  
believe the main benefit of 3ivx is that it is a better alternative  
to mpeg4 compression as an encoder. Its comparison to H.264 is really  
just that, a comparison between two different kinds of things.

Whenever there is a demand, its usually worth providing the extra  
file format to fill it, so we've had both for awhile now.

I always thought we would be really lucky if Apple could spark a home  
ip-TV demand with their AppleTV like they did with the iPod, where  
EVERYONE wants one or has one. Even though there are so many other  
options, maybe Apple could kick it all in gear. Having all of YouTube  
in H264 avail for d/l is a pretty good move if just to expedite  
people hooking up.. ..perhaps.

It depends on the cell phone. Theres a lot of different capabilities
out there at the moment, longterm things will probably move towards
phones having fully featured browsers, with support for mp4, h264 &
flash video.

I do not know anything about wml, from the little I have read I expect
it will slowly dissapear as full browsers become more common in
phones. I guess what format video it supports is again more of a
question of what each different phone supports, rather than there
being a video format that is supported by all devices that have wml
capability.

The QT or swf thing is probably a limitation of Adobe Go Live rather
than wml. 

There are only a tiny number of phones that support h264 at this
moment in time. For maximum compatibility the poor quality 3gp format
is probably the safest choice for mobiles.

[videoblogging] Re: YouTube to have H.264 versions

2007-06-13 Thread Steve Watkins
Yeah Id agree, it was easy to get distracted by h264 vs mpeg4 issues,
but at the end of the day 3ivx is a much better mpeg4 encoder than
quicktimes own. We probably should forget other opensource
alternatives, and DivX of course, but then all the other file wrapper
& ease of instructing people how o do this stuff easily comes into play.

So has anybody had a chance to try 3ivx 5 yet? The lack of chatter on
this is surely a sign in itself that many people here who previously
played it safe and stuck to mpeg4, have moved on to h264 at some point
in the last 2 years.

Just to be my usual h264 bore of a self, heres an incomplete list of
devices that support h264:

ipod
appletv
sony psp
sony ps3
xbox360
hd-dvd and blueray use h264 (as well as mpeg2 and VC-1)
nokia n95
little doubt that over time digital satellite, cable & over-the-air TV
will also move to h264.

With this in mind, who would bet against h264?

Only in the browser is h264's domination not a near-total certainty. I
still hope that one day video will form a part of web standards and be
incorporated into browsers directly rather than through plugins such
as quicktime. But it may not happen, who knows at this stage. Maybe
its more likely once royalties arent payable on certain uses of h264?

Id still like to help identify the h264 quality issues you werent
happy about. Have you tried encoders other than quicktime? Got any
screenshots of clips where the poor quality is visible?

Doh, sorry I meant shouldn't, not should.

On the 'making h264 encoding much faster' front, Im happy with that
elgato turbo.264 hardware, certainly takes away the longer encoding
time downside of h264. The quality is acceptable, but not quite as
good as a real good multi-pass h264 software encoder could manage. It
gets a definite thumbs up from me for saving energy.

Probably by posting your vids in that format and raving about it,
along with being able to give people a decent reason why theyd
actually offer their vidoes in DivX format. Has anybody done this or

My advice to DivX for longterm survival remain the same. Embrace the

Just an FYI.

A new  element has already been defined in HTML5...

http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#video

And like it is specified that browsers support JPG's, PNG's, and GIF's
with the  element, we have Ogg Theora for the  element
(because of patent reasons).

Greetings,

Cheers for the info. I would like to support Ogg Theora. Unfortunately
, and for a variety of reasons, it just hasnt caught on enough so far
to make me take it at all seriously at this stage. All the hardware
that has appeared in recent years that supports mpeg4 and h264 is not
helping.

Being free from patent woes, and quite good, is tragically not enough
to ensure adoption. Anyway I will go and study the html5 stuff in more

highly skeptical.

[videoblogging] Re: Free DivX pro download

2007-06-13 Thread Steve Watkins
Oh I notice that DivX have made some hardware that is in some ways
comparable to the Apple TV, although it has no hard drive:

http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/09/divx-gejbox-media-streamer-hardware-revealed/

Was this device at Pixelodeon at all?

I have mixed feelings about it, in some ways its a sign of what I was
saying, they have to create something like this/get 3rd party hardware
companies to make equivalent devices, to keep DivX alive. 

I also dont like devices like this that stream straight from a
computer, because it means leaving your computer on, which is a waste
of electricity. Even the Apple TV and suchlike make no sense to me
now, because I was appauled by how much juice my LCD TV was using, so
have moved to using a smaller LCD monitor as my TV, connected to a
relatively low-power-consuming computer.

[videoblogging] H.264 Also Dominating the iPhone

2007-06-13 Thread Dave Burstein
Folks

The YouTube/Apple MPEG .264 is big news, and that will only be
reinforced on June 29 when the iPhone comes out. I've confirmed with
 it's all designed around H.264. I'm doing a session
in the paid part of Web Video Summit on that on June 28 - not yet on
the web site. But I don't want to use this list to push a paid event. 

Much of WVS in San Jose is free, however, and I'd like to
introduce it here. Many folks you know are in the free sessions (code
DSL07) including Jen Gouvea, Documentarian, Echo Chamber

PANELIST: Oscar Grimm, Producer, Freshtopia

PANELIST: Justin Kan, Lifecaster, Justin.tv

Moderator: Graham Leggat, Executive Director, San Francisco Film Society

PANELIST: Schlomo Rabinowitz, Producer, Echoplex Park

PANELIST: Irina Slutsky, Producer, Podtech

PANELIST: Michael Verdi, Videoblogger, Freevlog 

-- 

If no one objects, I'd like to post information on the list about the
free parts of the show, and also how Vlogger reporters and others can
get in to the whole thing gratis. But I'm stopping this note here, to
make sure I'm not overstepping the bounds of what's appropriate for
this list. 

If people think it's wrong to promote the free parts of the event,
contact me on or off-list and I won't do it. If no one objects, I'll
modestly post some details later.

My job at the moment is building web applications to support selling
and serving "content" (music, videos, ringtones, pictures, etc.) -
mainly to mobile phones. Along the way I've learned a few things about
WAP, WML and phone capabilities.

The first thing is that phone browsers and phone capabilities are
*very* different from each other. In the web world most people don't
even worry about the differences between Mozilla, IE and Safari; in
the world of mobile browsers, it's common to support many tens of
different configurations for different types and models of phone.

The second thing is that most phones in the world are really dumb. A
large proportion have no data access at all. Of the ones which do have
data access, the great majority connect over slow GPRS or an
equivalent, and only support basic WAP.  Hardly any phones even
support MP3, let alone video. Of the phones which do support any kind
of video, it's almost always 3gp, but each phone has its own quirks of
what sizes and formats it will support.

We use a pretty complex transcoding service to prepare video and audio
content for delivery to mobile phones. It's complex because it has to
detect and support the capabilities and quirks of so many different
handsets, and it needs continual adjustment as new phones appear and
old ones split into updated and original versions.

WML is not actually too bad to work with. It's essentially a very
reduced subset of XHTML, with a few cunning extras to avoid the need
for JavaScript in common cases. It has the technical advantage of
using reduced bandwidth, and the psychological advantage of reduced
expectations. It's quite feasible to write a really useful WAP
application which just uses simple text, forms and links with the
occasional small image, people don't expect fancy graphics, fonts,
layout and animation.

2007-06-13 Thread Steve Watkins
I doubt people would object to you posting relevent stuff to this
list, even paid events are ok to talk about if they are relevent, and
especially if you actively communicate on this list. Its those that
only post here with offtopic stuff or glorified adverts and then
vanish that tend to annoy people. You dont seem to be one of those, as
youve already had the courtesy to ask :)

Its funny, the iphone and comments made by apple when it was first
announced, regarding youtube compatibility, that first started the
h264 rumours.

What I wonder about, is whether the h264 version of youtube will be an
Apple exculsive, at least for a while, that wouldnt surprise me at
all. I wonder if it will improve the number of youtube videos
available on the Nokia N95, which has a youtube thing but very
limited, and must already be using mpeg4 or h264 as the phone doesnt
support flash video.

If youtube go the whole distance and make their main website h264,
will this make media companies who like to sue youtube, even angrier,
as it will be perceived that the copyright abuse the masses indulge in
through youtube is 'even more damaging' due oto people being able to
download youtube stuff so easily. Will video creators get upset if
downloads are promoted, as it will potentially reduce their 'number of
plays' stats if people download a video and watch it repeatedly, as
opposed to having to go to youtube each time?

2007-06-13 Thread Steve Watkins
Ta for the info. Ive been reading up on this. The html 5 video thing
should really make a difference at some point in the future, if it
survives the draft process and is done in a flexible enough way. I
note that so far it is proposed that ogg is the format that html 5
browsers should definately support, but that they are free to use
other formats as well.

I need theora to be supported in more mac & windows end-user apps for
me to be more positive about the format. Right now it seems relatively
unknown beyond the linux community, which is a shame. Also gotta be a
tiny bit worried that its not definately immune from patent/licencing
claims, if it catches on then all sorts of companies will scrutinize
it closely to see if it uses any methods which they have patents to cover.

[videoblogging] Re: YouTube to have H.264 versions

2007-06-13 Thread Steve Watkins
No one app in particular, was mostl thinking of the encoding side of
things at the moment. eg if a windows or mac user asks 'how can i
encode into this format' there needs to be a nice easy one sentence
answer, nice straightforward encoders that have a simple GUI,
command-line stuff forever condemns formats to obscurity. If there are
such apps alredy please point me in the right direction, last time I
tried I gave up, so Ive still never actually seen or made an ogg file
in my life.

Re: [videoblogging] Re:cell phone website? question??

2007-06-13 Thread David Meade
There was a company at pixelodeon that was talking about this very thing. (
http://www.mywaves.com/ ) I didnt get the low down on them or their
product/service ... but maybe someone here can give a summary.

If that's not what you're looking for you may have to get inventive. :-)

I see you're in Japan.  Are you targeting mobile phones in Japan or
elsewhere?

Here in the USA phones are all over the map.  I can watch just about
anything on my phone so long as I have room to store it.  I also have a
decent browser with which to get to the content.  I'm very lucky in that
regard as most phones probably cant say they have both features.

However my data network is painfully slow ... but the time I'd download a
5min h.264 vid I could have arrived at where ever I was going and used a
real computer.  =P

The situation may be (and likely is) better elsewhere ... especially Japan
as they seem to have wicked cool phones before we do.

My instinct is that if this is for a personal use (meaning you don't some
great service to transcode and deliver to mobile phones) ... the best bet is
probably to just 'embed' a thumbnail image of the video in a lightweight
page and let the user download the file should their mobile browser allow
for it.  It would probably be nice to include a link to some mobile viewing
tips etc.

yep...DivX showcased the device at Pixelodeon.
It was actually pretty cool.an obvious response/competitor to Apple TV.
seems like it could handle many more formats and seemed more open to hacking.

yes, we need help in 3 ways.

1. certainly join our group if you're interested in helping us grow
the collection to other kinds of political video
(http://groups.google.com/group/politicalvideo)

2. make a video using any of the Bush archive. We'd love to profile on

can make commentary.

3. help us promote http://polticalvideo.org.
email it out to communities you think would appreciate it. this
archive wont help if no one knows about it.

feel free to send me any questions.

At Pixelodeon there was a presentation by Mywaves. I have the first
video that I will upload in a few hours. My understanding is that the
service is free and that it is carrier independent so you aren't
locked in to viewing just what your phone carrier will allow you to
see for $$$. 

You can upload videos in any format and they will handle the
transcoding. They are also looking for content providers to work with
them on shared revenue deals and projects.
