Thanks, Bill! :D

I realised I should have made clear that both Viddler and Asterpix  
videos can be embedded on your site with their timeline-based  
comments and interactive clickable hotspots respectively.

I just checked Youtube help pages, and Youtube videos cannot be  
embedded with annotations yet, but they will add this feature when  
annotations are out of Beta.

Well...

There are a few options for flash that come to mind immediately, but  
not hosting your own video, allowing for separate dynamically  
inserted adverts.

You can make clickable interactive video at:
http://www.asterpix.com/

You can also now add annotations to Youtube videos, but I haven't  
checked it out yet.  I imagine it'd be possible to set clickable  
hotspots.  But i don't know if these work with embedded videos, let  
alone the high quality versions of videos.

Finally, Viddler allows timeline-based comments which can contain  
clickable URLs.

My solution to making sure I had access to everything while I spent six
weeks in China was remote desktop. I found very few places I couldn't get to
(and am guessing that many things will be "fixed" for the Olympics, but
having that as a backup was priceless. It meant having a computer on at home
in the US, but it was worth it.

Anytime I wanted "real" data service I reverted to Internet access from a PC
because it was slow otherwise, but there were a couple of times where I
looked up sites from the back of a cab to get the cab driver written
addresses for where I wanted to go.

I'm going to China for the solar eclipse on Aug. 1, & want to  
document my trip.  Like I did for Egypt '06:

http://eclipsechaser.blogspot.com/search/label/Solar%20Eclipse%203% 
2F29%2F06%3A%20photos%2Fvideos
http://eclipsechaser.blogspot.com/search/label/Solar%20Eclipse%203% 
2F29%2F06%3A%20trip

http://www.comet-track.com/eclipse/secl06/secl06.html
http://www.comet-track.com/eclipse/secl.html

I'm working with a high school teacher in China (who is leading her  
own group of students to observe the eclipse), & others (physicist  
@Chinese Academy of Sciences).  I want to have the Blogger blog do  
some cultural outreach between China & the World (incl USA).  So, if  
Blogger is blocked..I can't make posts!  Or, if Blogspot is blocked,  
then native Chinese can't see the content.

What to do?  I need experts on this list to figure out a solution/ 
strategy.  I leave in a week.

I've moved my http://eclipsescience.blogspot.com to another domain  
(using Bloggers publishing tool):

http://blog.eclipse-science.com

But, it still doesn't solve the "Blogger blocked" problem, since it  
would prevent me from publishing blog entries.

Another thing.  Can I upload videos to Blip.tv, without much  
trouble?  (are there bandwidth issues?  I know someone in New  
Zealand, who has trouble watching videos hosted in the US).

I want to try other blogging solutions like Kyte.tv  (pictures and  
videos), Mogulus.com

http://www.mogulus.com/solareclipse2006
http://www.mogulus.com/solareclipse2002
http://www.mogulus.com/solareclipse2001

http://www.kyte.tv/solareclipse2001
http://www.kyte.tv/solareclipse1999
http://www.kyte.tv/solareclipse1998

I like the email w/attachment (picture or video) solution.  I have no  
idea about cellphone accessibility in China, anyone know?

I'm sure there is coverage, but what about data & email attachments?   
I have a contact in China (travel agent who speaks good English, who  
is making a lot of travel arrangements for me: hotel w/Internet  
access, etc), who is researching the pre-paid SIM card  (which  
includes a good data package).

I will have Internet access at my observation site, the nearby  
weather station & Internet Cafe.

Basically, I need feedback from someone who has blogged their travels  
in China.  There are a couple of good forums, like Lonely Planet & VT  
(virtual tourist), which have extensive traveler feedback from China.

This is good timing, with Jay Dedman's post on "Collaborative video  
blogging project".  I suppose I could email my Blogger posts to  
someone here in USA, & have them post it via Blogger (I would have to  
give them access to my Blogger account).

Hi Jay - it's not embedding the video that’s the problem.

When somebody goes to my page to view a video I want to video to  
contain pop up ad or ads that can be clicked on so the viewer can be  
directed to web site and (hopefully) buy a product or service that I'm  
selling.

You can now do that with Amazon as an example but they end up hosting  
the video and the only products that can be embedded are theirs (on an  
affiliate basis). I want to keep the video on Blip.tv and embed my own  
products or services.

I really appreciate your feedback.

for quicktime, check out Andreas' Linkubator

http://www.solitude.dk/archives/linkubator/

for flv's, i think you need to look at the player being used.

for example, with the JW Flash Player and Flowplayer, you can set  
params to allow this.  however, that does not embed the link in the  
media file itself and so does not travel with media if it is hosted  
elsewhere

as verdi said, this is exactly what Nelson, Quick and Valdez do at
http://wreckandsalvage.com/.
they take turns making the weekly video.
they influence each other. push each other to creatively.

we actually went to a meetup that the Post Secret Community held recently.
Frank, who runs the site, happens to live in a suburb outside DC.
we're finding out that DC has a lot of smart stuff going on.

That's kind of what Wreck & Salvage (and The PAN before that) does -
spread the work around.

[videoblogging] Editing question

2008-07-16 Thread Bill Vick
I'm using Skype video to create short interviews focused on the
changing model of recruitment I see taking place. They average 10
minutes give or take.

I want to embed a live link in my videos so a user can click on a
graphic or item and be directed to a web page. I know I can do
something like this using QuickTime and companies like BubblePly and
Amazon offer a tool but I want to host my videos on Blip.tv and have
the link work in a .flv file.

I'm on a Mac, using FCP 6.04.

Any ideas, software,etc. greatly appreciated. So far the answer
totally eludes  me.



[videoblogging] why can't US politicians Twiiter and videoblog?

2008-07-16 Thread Jay dedman
Republican congressman John Culberson is all about twitter and new media.
http://twitter.com/johnculberson
he streams live form Qik as well.

here's a bit of the story:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,383444,00.html

But US House rules say that any official communication must happen on
government servers so it can be archived and found for the future.
This makes sense till you think of every time a Congressman appears on
radio or TV, he/she has now put their opinion into the undocumented
private sphere.
So why can't they use internet services to better communicate with the people?

There is a good discussion group around this issue at
http://groups.google.com/group/openhouseproject?hl=en .
Its a good mix of conservative and progressive techies trying to push
new legislation to make the US congress more transparent using the
technology we all love and use daily.

Imagine if it was normal for Representatives and their staff to
videoblog all day?
be great to see how lobbyists operate etc.

Yes!
This is cool.
I thought when you said 'each posts a new video each day' that all 7  
posted every day.

But actually each of them posts once a week - they each have a  
specific day assigned to them.
So Megan posts on Sundays, Lauren on Mondays, Sara on Tuesdays, etc

It only hit me recently that THIS is how collaborative projects could  
work best.  Spreading the workload equally.  Here's a daily 'show'  
but without the considerable pressure of producing a daily show.

Thanks for pointing this out.  How did you find them and get to meet

[videoblogging] Vloggers or Videographers heading to the Democratic & Republican National Conventions

2008-07-16 Thread noel hidalgo
To Vloggers or Videographers heading to the Democratic & Republican
National Conventions,

hi'ya. for those of you who don't know me, i'm the community manager
for www.remixamerica.org - we're a non-profit that explores the space
of remixes and promotes remixers. since we explore the limitations of
fair-use and promote free-speech, we are heading to the Democratic and
Republican National Conventions.

we are in the process of coordinating our efforts with indie camera
crews / vloggers / videographers. if you are planning to attend,
please shoot me an email and lets see how we can coordinate resources.
for the DNC, we have hired a few remix editors and have established a
basecamp. we would love to network with as many "on the ground" teams
as possible. also, if you know of someone or some group that is
already establishing a multi-media tent, please connect some dots...

please shoot me a private email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and tell me
your plans. let's see how we can bring some video magic to the the
doldrum of network news.
