[videoblogging] Re: Publicity or lack of, old and new

2007-07-31 Thread Enric
The course of the future manifestation of a technology is hard to
know.  Ideas popular at the time that people subscribe to and set as
standards such as transparency, end of privacy, elimination of
copyright, etc. may turn out prophetic, overblown or some combination
of both.  Evolution sorts out what works and doesn't -- the success is
usually there at the time, but usually not noticed.  But obvious
later.  Keeping eyes open and not entrenched in a set of ideas I think
is a good approach.

 Lots of different discussions recently have got me thinking about
 publicity.
 
 It strikes me that its become one of the weaker links, it hasnt
 evolved like the ease of use, technology  distribution stuff has.
 
 I dunno, perhaps I would expect the various network/distribution/guide
 companies to do more to try to promote themselves beyond the
 web2.0/silly con valley/early adopter crowd, perhaps they do try but
 its not easy.
 
 I jusst think that if I actually had a show, I would be looking for a
 partner that could deliver some real value by actually being able to
 do a decent job of promoting the show. Now this does tie in to
 distribution, ie if you get on various settop or mobile networks 
 featured in their on screen guide, some more people will find you. But
 even on that front Ive not often seen the vlog-related new networks
 make that many tie-ups with these networks. Heck its really unclear
 what the reality is out there because there are plenty of positive
 stories with huge $ numbers attached to these things, but hard to see
 where its actually happening in reality.
 
 Oh I dunno, it just strikes me that companies that expect to make
 money through advertising, need to find ways to advertise themselves
 better to the masses. Im conflicted on these points, as I hate many
 forms of advertising, and the net is supposed to have all sorts of new
 ways that people will find your content if they are interested, and
 various new forms of pblicity, concepts such as something going viral
 (as opposed to fake viral marketing). 
 
 Ive long believed that the 'death of the music industry' predictors
 were ignoring the fact that just because the rules of distribution can
 change against established giants advantage, this does not
 automatically kill their ability to advertise their stuff, and get the
 mass customers needed to make the thing profitable.
 
 Im also aware that some could say these things are a quality issue, if
 there were more shows out there that were 'must watch' to the majority
 of people, news of them would spread like wildfire, the people would
 find them for themselves. It may be true, I dunno, its a brave new
 world and Im not sure if we are there yet. In any case it seems that
 so far there are a few different types of companies out there that
 have emerged and could be interesting partners for vloggers. Whether
 they succeed or fail could depend just as much on keeping the right
 things from the old ways of doing business, as which elements of web 2
 they adopt. Maybe some companies have assumed the web will do their
 publicity for them, and been mistaken, or at least not realised quite
 what a narrow section of humans their marketing efforts have reached. 
 
 But does this mean Im calling for some of the qualities of an old
 style TV network to be brought to vlog show business, when I previous
 reacted with horror and venom to such concepts? I dont know, I suppose
 at least in so much as I always found Channel Frederator rather
 watchable and yet it feels like a TV channel in some ways.

[videoblogging] Re: Blank tape detected in Premiere

2007-07-31 Thread Chuck
I've started using Premiere Pro CS3 with my HDR-HC1 and I have no 
such problems capturing (and I usually capture close to 60 minutes 
straight)?  My scene detect box is greyed out, though, which is 
weird...

I'm hoping to avoid capturing altogether soon by using On Location, 
but I just haven't had time to begin learning/using it.  Has anyone 
started using On Location?  It looks like a huge time saver.

 Guys,
 
 When I dump a tape to Premiere, it sometimes stops in the middle of 
the

 detected.  I've become used to this as a minor glitch that occurs 
once in
 a blue moon.  Lately, though, it's been happening a lot.  It seems 
to crop
 up once every two minutes of footage.  The footage itself is there, 
and if
 I back up to the beginning of the scene and capture again, 
everything's
 fine.  This is becoming an annoyance, though, and I'm afraid it 
might be a
 sign of impending equipment failure, which is something I can't

 The camera itself is only about a year old, and it hasn't seen 
heavy,
 regular use until about last March when Greentime began.
 
 Does anyone have any experience with this error?  Is there

[videoblogging] Youtube Group to complement this one

2007-07-31 Thread Rupert
So I finally figured out how to search for Youtube Groups.  I found a  
couple of dozen groups associated with videoblogging - but none of  
them had more than a few members, and there were no fresh discussions  
or activity.

Is anybody else here interested in joining a group on Youtube?

As per the Facebook group discussion last week, I'd want a group to  
complement the Yahoo group rather than duplicate it.  It'd be a way  
to share videos and connect with people on Youtube, explore the  
communities and conversations there, even to inspire us to feel it's  
worthwhile posting on Youtube, and to find more viewers.

If nobody says yes, I won't bother, because the last thing I want to  
do is create another unpopulated dead Group.

But it could be a great way to build a bridge from this group into  
Youtube, since it's often been remarked that there's so much  
separation between us.

My 'month of Youtube' has been a little slowed down by hectic work   
home life, but I'm still as committed to exploring it more.

As I just wrote in an email to someone else, I do think it's a bit  
mad that so many of us are not on Youtube more, given the much larger  
number of people passing through there than through any other site.   
Youtube has 50%+ share of all online video, but amazingly the  
mefeedia figures show it has less videoblogs than other sites.

I understand that a few people will not want to deal with youtube's  
TOS, their interface or their picture quality, but for a lot of us  
who want to connect with other people and evangelize this stuff a  
little, it surely makes more sense to spend some time hanging out on  
the main drag as well as behind the bike shed.

What do you reckon?  Who would want to join?

Re: [videoblogging] new ways to distribute your shows

2007-07-31 Thread Rupert
I'm really excited by the multi-site uploaders.  I've been waiting  
for someone to do this properly.  It's important for a lot of  
reasons.  Most of all because most people haven't got time to spend  
their lives uploading every video to a dozen different sites,  
entering Titles, Descriptions, tags, etc on each one.  So you end up  
missing out on all the people who frequent sites you haven't uploaded  
to.  I'd far rather spend that time finding other people's videos,  
watching them and connecting.

To reply to J Rhett Aultman:
Obviously, it's just the ease of use and range of sites they offer  
that will make them attractive or not.  As far as I'm concerned,  
progress is all about automation of all the things that have  
traditionally taken a very long time in making and publishing a  
videoblog.
  Blip has great crossposting options, but doesn't let you upload to  
competitors like youtube - except your myspace blog (not to Myspace  
Video).
Veoh has a more limited range of sites you can cross-post to than  
those listed by Eric today - and they slap a logo on the front of  
your video.  Plus they screwed up all my audio - put it out of sync,  
but Halcyon said a couple of weeks ago that it works well for him.

RE: [videoblogging] new ways to distribute your shows

2007-07-31 Thread Frank Sinton
These multi-site uploaders remind me of the multi-site submit companies
(submit your site to over 10,000 search engines!). Never really worked for
me...

For syndication of video, Media RSS is the solution. Manage once, publish
everywhere. It provides ONE place to manage videos, metadata, and all
metrics can be consolidated into one place. It provides better control (at
least as good as you are going to get nowadays) - if you want a video
removed, just remove it from your RSS file. Media RSS is also a great
solution to allow people to watch your video in any player they want.

Unfortunately, most of these video companies require you to upload your
video (and agree to their TOS), so we are still stuck with the upload your
video and agree to my TOS problem until these sites become more open
networks and accept video feeds. 

Just my 2 cents. :)

I'm really excited by the multi-site uploaders.  I've been waiting  
for someone to do this properly.  It's important for a lot of  
reasons.  Most of all because most people haven't got time to spend  
their lives uploading every video to a dozen different sites,  
entering Titles, Descriptions, tags, etc on each one.  So you end up  
missing out on all the people who frequent sites you haven't uploaded  
to.  I'd far rather spend that time finding other people's videos,  
watching them and connecting.

To reply to J Rhett Aultman:

  Blip has great crossposting options, but doesn't let you upload to  
competitors like youtube - except your myspace blog (not to Myspace  
Video).
Veoh has a more limited range of sites you can cross-post to than  
those listed by Eric today - and they slap a logo on the front of

  VIDMETRIX has launched its own multi-site video uploader. The tool
  will allow video publishers to automatically distribute their content
  to seven video-sharing sites: YouTube, MySpace, Metacafe, Google,
  Yahoo, Revver, and Veoh. Tubemogul, which announced a multi-site
  uploader last week, is adding 3 new distribution sites to its service
  today, bringing its total reach to 9 video-sharing sites.
 
 
  MY DAMN CHANNEL is a new online video destination launching this
  morning. The site will emphasize professional, episodic content, and
  promises to disrupt media by giving content creators artistic
  freedom. The early roster of professionals includes comedian Harry
  Shearer, producer Don Was, actor Paul Reiser, and Web phenom Andy
  Milonakis. MDC will syndicate its content across video-sharing sites,
  and collect advertising revenue. The site has signed a distribution
  deal with YouTube.

Re: [videoblogging] new ways to distribute your shows

2007-07-31 Thread Michael Sullivan
correct, frank.

these services ARE valuable though.

it always comes back to the old point some of us have been making forever...
which is to look at these video hosting destination sites as a way to
leverage the audiences that traffic them.  when we talked about  why use
youtube the point that always rings true is this to tap into the mass
viewer base but with emphasis on bringing those viewers back to your own
site if they enjoy your content and want to subscribe to you/your
channel(s).  the best way to do this is to definately put out content no
matter what the tos are but have your content also hosted on either your own
host or with services that respect creative commons and/or just have much
better terms for you.  as a content producer/distributor, you should
strategically spread your media, so long as you put care in not soley
depending on the youtubes.  ideally, uploading teasers/previews or your own
commercials promoting your shows or just personal video messages that
involve you in those communities and as people get to know you, they
will follow you.. wherever your home on the net is.

also, if you are making a show, it can help to upload to many services in
the beginning.  if you get popular, then you wont have to do that as much or
at all anymore.  that's when you can start having more control.  give and
take.  play it out.

for those not interested in promoting shows etc... if you just have
something to say and dont care about tos... you just want to get your
messages out... then thats another reason why these uploader/tracking
services are valuable and time-savers.

depends on what you want to achieve through your videos.  for some, these
services make total sense.

however, at any point, these services could be killed off unless proper
business relations are made.  the youtubes can easily prevent remote/cross
uploads and access to tracking data if they feel it is hurting their bottom
line or breaking terms of service.  typically, an API sets the limits of
what can and cannot be done with a service's platform, even if this is not
enforced at this time.

Re: [videoblogging] new ways to distribute your shows

2007-07-31 Thread Mike Meiser
First, I dig that there are these multi-uploader sites. But... as
frank said they remind me some of the multi-search engine submit
sites. I don't think very highly of them.

I think we should talk about how to use these tools and what they're good for.

I've been meaning to do a post on risk leveraging ever since I read
the Lan Bui/Podtech post.

The point is... this.   I wouldn't post my entire vlog to youtube.

BUT... I would post either select videos, or edited down videos, or
lower resolution versions of my videos to other sites.  Particularly
youtube.

The point is... experiment, you don't have to post your whole vlog to youtube.

If you're looking for a mass audience... then youtube is a great
playground, just don't throw all your eggs into one basket.

What I see time and time again is people putting all their faith into
one system... i.e. creative commons i.e. flickr... i.e. their own
vlog.

To put it simply:

Creative commons is awesome, but if you put a high definition 30fps
complete version of a video online... or a 8megapixel version of you
photo and think creative commons is going to protect it you're a fool.
 Reduce risk by leveraging... put it out at 15 fps, put in online at
320x240 or even 480... post that photo to flickr at max 1600x1200...
why the hell post an 8megapixel version of your photo anyway.

For those not using youtube or submitting a video to iCaught, or
CurrentTV because they don't like the terms of servvice...  I'm sorry,
but that's just silly.  If you're not just posting your videos for
friends... if you are seeking new and more varied audiences and your
not experimenting and you're not posting to contests, submission
sites, youtubes, and other successful social networks... it's sort of
silly.

ThePan.org and I assume wrecksalvage experimented with what they
called interstitials on youtube.  They were short 15 second teasers
whith heavy branding.  That's one extreme way to do it.

Youtube  Ask A Ninja both post to youtube.

Using these multi-submit sites is not going to garner you a youtube
following, or myspace or any of these other sites... it's like
spam to some sense.  If you want to garner an audience in places like
myspace, facebook and youtube you have to participate.  But it IS a
nice tool for getting you started.

So... take your best video, make a lowres 320x240 15fps version of
it if it's long just take a snippet of it.   Watermark the hell
out of the mofo with an intro, a watermark in the lower left corner
with your brand/url  and a nice outro with your url, and then
cross post away.

But be sure to go and fill out your profile, and mark some friends,
and find some interesting groups on these sites and get involved in
the content to.

This is to say... I'm sorry, but if you're looking for mass
audience... just because some site's TOS sucks... doesn't mean you
should walk completely away from the game.  Leverage... maximize your
upside, minimize your downside.

If you caught this amazing footage of a an airplane wreck ABC or CNN
can't going to use your footage on tv no matter what their TOS says if
you dangle a low waulity 8 fps version in front of them and a note
saying... if you want it in 24 fps I've got it.  TOS don't rule the
roost, you're ability to control the content rules the roost.

Likewise just putting creative commons on your videos, photos and
other media isn't going to protect it if you post insanely high
quality versions of it around the web.

Anyway, it doesn't do the subject justice.

I'm just sick of hearing people say we should just stand on the
sidelines for every new game that comes along because they don't have
perfect TOS.

NOBODY has perfect Terms of Service.  Get used to it, and learn to
play the game by your own rules. It's called risk leveraging. Just
do it.


I did a post on risk leveraging regarding famed icelandic Flickr
photograper Rebekka Guoleifsdottir who had several $8000 dollars worth
of her photos sold on ebay and else where by a UK print seller.

The copyright con game and the new economics of IP
http://mmeiser.com/blog/2007/05/copyright-con-game-and-new-economics-of.html

The bottom line is this. I wholy support her bitch slapping the
company that sold her photos illegally just like I support Lan Bui in
the Podtech issue, but there's a simple truth here... there was NO
reason for her to put her 8 megapixal highres versions of her photos
up on Flickr.  No reason whatsoever. It's just foolish and naive.

Now she's gone the COMPLETE opposite end of the spectrum and only has
640x480 versions available penalizing all her fans completely
needlessly when all she had to do is limit her photos on flickr to a
reasonable resolution somewhere between 1024 and 1600 pixels.  A
little subtle watermarking wouldn't hurt either.

For vloggers... it's really really simple.  Make your videos 320-640
wide... whatever your comfortable with... put your logo/domain name
over them in the corner... keep it subtle... put a nice intro

naturally, it you start there it is easier for them to generate stats,
as well as make some moolah off the aggregated content.

[videoblogging] Use Flash 9?

2007-07-31 Thread Enric
According to Adobe's March, 2007 stats,

http://tinyurl.com/zzftm
or
http://www.adobe.com/products/player_census/flashplayer/version_penetration.html

Flash 9's penetration is a bit above 83% (while Flash 8 is above 96%).
 I'm still coding and encoding in Flash 8, but see more and more sites
requiring Flash 9.  Are most of you who encode Flash doing Flash 9?

  Thanks,

Re: [videoblogging] Youtube Group to complement this one

2007-07-31 Thread Mike Meiser
Well, I've joined, but I'm not toltally sure that group isn't just spam.

I'm all for having more excuses to play with youtube, but honestly, I
think sull is write. Youtube groups, or any group without email based
discussion for that matter is just freaking pointless.   Flickr groups
are about as sucessful as a group can get with out email... and quite
frankly they suck.  Particularly a a forum for discussion... which are
always almost nonexistent.

But... if you post videos there, and chat there, I'll be sure to
friend you... and subscribe... and check your posts... when I remember
to actually go back and visit it that is... once every couple new
moons.

 Count me in, [EMAIL PROTECTED], I have 11 short vids on youtube and they

 I only have about 1,600 views, which doesn't put me in the class of vids of
 17 yr old girls, or pet tricks, but it is not bad. OK, thanks, Ed.

So I finally figured out how to search for Youtube Groups. I found a
  couple of dozen groups associated with videoblogging - but none of
  them had more than a few members, and there were no fresh discussions
  or activity.
 
  Is anybody else here interested in joining a group on Youtube?
 
  As per the Facebook group discussion last week, I'd want a group to
  complement the Yahoo group rather than duplicate it. It'd be a way
  to share videos and connect with people on Youtube, explore the
  communities and conversations there, even to inspire us to feel it's
  worthwhile posting on Youtube, and to find more viewers.
 
  If nobody says yes, I won't bother, because the last thing I want to
  do is create another unpopulated dead Group.
 
  But it could be a great way to build a bridge from this group into
  Youtube, since it's often been remarked that there's so much
  separation between us.
 
  My 'month of Youtube' has been a little slowed down by hectic work 
  home life, but I'm still as committed to exploring it more.
 
  As I just wrote in an email to someone else, I do think it's a bit
  mad that so many of us are not on Youtube more, given the much larger
  number of people passing through there than through any other site.
  Youtube has 50%+ share of all online video, but amazingly the
  mefeedia figures show it has less videoblogs than other sites.
 
  I understand that a few people will not want to deal with youtube's
  TOS, their interface or their picture quality, but for a lot of us
  who want to connect with other people and evangelize this stuff a
  little, it surely makes more sense to spend some time hanging out on
  the main drag as well as behind the bike shed.
 
  What do you reckon? Who would want to join?

2007-07-31 Thread Mike Meiser
LiveVideo is interesting. Unforetuneatly they don't have have RSS 2.0
feeds w/ enclosures or even embedded videos so they won't work with
iTunes, Mefeedia, Democracy player, Fireant or any other aggregator.

If you use them you should suggest to them that they add MediaRSS
and/or enclosures to their feeds.

[videoblogging] Re: Brotherhood 2.0

2007-07-31 Thread Gena
Actually I found them via a recommendation from BlogHer. They are too
cute for words. I've made a decision of not watching because I don't
want to go through withdrawal pains like I did with ZeFrank. They are
engaging in a comfort zone kind of way.

It is an interesting experiment. It is another aspect of an open book
life.

 A. After noticing that their relationship had for years consisted

 textual communication with each other for 2007. Instead, we are  
 making public video blogs back and forth every weekday for the entire

 I haven't seen anyone mention it here but it looks interesting.  I've

Know any Web2.0-ish companies in Atlanta interested in lunch?

I'm interested in bringing the Lunch 2.0 idea to the Atlanta, GA area, and
I'd like to find companies that are interested in participating. If you know
of any companies in the Atlanta area that fit the Lunch 2.0 demographic, let
me know. I'll poll them to see if there's enough interest to start doing
lunch.

See http://www.lunch20.com/ for details about Lunch 2.0.

I'm not endorsing these sites, and i am loyal to Blip. I just found  
these bits of news interesting and thought you all might find them  
interesting as well.

what i liked was Frank Sinton's comment, as it occurred to me that i  
need to look into this service.

BTW, would you all consider stripping out quoted text that is not

2007-07-31 Thread Eric Rice
Brook, 

When you say LiveVideo is that a product or the recent explosion in
'live' video (uStream, BlogTV, justin.tv et al)?

It's amazing watching the impact of live-streamed video on both audio
and video podcasts and blogging. When/if YouTube hits that, we'll see
another surge yet again.

FYI,

Participatory Culture, aka. DemocracyTV, aka. Miro has just blogged
about this idea of posting videos to multiple sites... more
specifically why it's such a silly thing that we have to.  The whole
walled garden thing needs to die a horrible death.  One day, everyone
will be an aggregator.

I meant livevideo.com, the site, which definitely isn't a live-real-time
