Re: [videoblogging] I'm new to Video Blogging and in Search for a Converter, FFMPEG

Try using WinFF.  It's a windows front-end for ffmpeg.  It's free and
easy to use.

http://www.winff.org/

According to freevlog, you could alternatively use Streamclip to
convert mov files to avi.

Here's a tip, it's faster to convert from mov to DV AVI files than
to convert from mov to wmv but you'll get HUGE video files and you'll
need lots of hard drive space.  Additionally it'll be easier to edit
those huge DV AVI files in Windows Movie Maker compared to editing
compressed wmv video files.  Compressed video files require more
processor power.

Good luck!

2008-05-22 Thread David King
Another way to do this would be to purchase Quicktime Pro ($30) - it will
allow you to reformat the mov file into a dv-avi file, which you can then
edit in Windows Movie Maker. And then when you have your final video ready,
you reformat again in Quicktime Pro.

[videoblogging] Standard Contract template for services?

2008-05-22 Thread Scott Parent
Anyone have a standard contract template they could send me that they use
for rendering services to clients? If it's applicable to the State of
California - even better.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott

2008-05-22 Thread ~ FluxRostrum
howdy,

I just vlogged the Civilian Complaint Review Board findings regarding the NYPD 
forcibly stealing my camera at a protest in honor of a fellow videographer who 
was murdered by State Officials in Oaxaca, Mexico.
http://mobilebroadcastnews.com/CCRB-PoliceMisconduct

I'm also about to embark on a several month tour of political action video 
journalism in a waste vegetable oil powered converted school bus.  We are 
equipped with satellite internet and will use broadband cards and free wifi in 
the cities.  And can accommodate a couple more journalists for various legs of 
the journey.

  am wondering if anyone has any links or suggestions. I've already
  planned to talk about Ryanishungry, Vision on Tv, Qik/mobile tech,

[videoblogging] Re: $14 DIY steady cam

2008-05-22 Thread Renat Zarbailov
I don't think you can get as smooth moving pictures with this as you
would with a Steadicam Merlin. This $14 one is made out of plumbing
pipes and it will tire you sooner than you can say action...
If it was made from PVC piping, then I would say it stands a chance to
be somewhat efficient, of course it depends on the design.

My 1.5 cents... :)
