Re: [videoblogging] Fwd: Code help to embed Blip in Joomla via popular plugin
UGH!!!
14 hours later and I figured out that my very first attempt at
hacking the code was correct.
blip/play/{AVSOURCE}
I sent this email to you guys about 5 hours in when I was going crazy.
I had to uninstall and reinstall the plugin, and forgot to enable it
in the part of the site I was using to test the functionality.
Tremendous waste of time!

Subject: Code help to embed Blip in Joomla via popular plugin
Hi,
I need some help writing the correct code to embed blip into joomla
through one of the major Joomla extensions.
I can't figure it out - not a programmer. I just stumble around and
am persistent.
I've hacked several applications and added blip stuff, but I can't
figure this out.
I'll be happy to add the code to the developer's forum and it
should get included in the next release of the software.
I really need this to work on my site, as I use blip exclusively
and many of my users do.
Please assist.
I've attached the whole .php file that does the link conversion,
and am going to quote a bit of the code here:

If you can't clearly answer that then your site needs to be more of an About Me page with links to your stuff.

[videoblogging] Re: Does the Blog format work for Vlogging anymore?
Great thread. I feel torn. I feel like only using Blip and YouTube and getting rid of a site altogether sometimes. I'm only part time vlogging, but I have the same struggles. The big question for me seems to be what does the new 'TV' look like? for a while now I've got the feeling that embedded video players that move around from site to site with my content on them are really like floating TVs... I have a sense that two big things are happening. 1. Online video is going to be on bigger and bigger TVs. 2. Comments, some text and links, photos, etc. are also expected if your vlogs are 'stories' as in, it's all rich media now, or convergence media. Eventually people will expect all videos to have a comment section, maybe a little text with links to things mentioned, background photos, HD and tiny screen formats. CNN used to be a TV station, New York Times used to be print. Now on the Web, they are text, audio, video and photos - all in a new format with different rules then the campus radio, tv, newspaper, photojournalism, departments. So maybe for the small time, small crew, or one-person shows, it's a question of specializing to fit into a bigger convergence site eventually to make money? i.e. sell your episodes to a bigger outlet. Or focus on a niche, like episodes shot really tight only for mobile screens, then eventually get pulled into a convergence site?? Anyway, I'm more in academia now, where we're watching work, and lingo, like this: Convergence Journalism. See student-run: http://www.amherstwire.com/ The new full time jobs at universites I'm seeing who's sole job it is to re-edit, with branding, videos from around campus's different departments (journalism, film, comm) for the Web site's marketing and recruitment of prospective students, and make a Web page: I like this page's layout with the three areas and inclusive player with all the shows and big thumbs. http://www.hampshire.edu/news/multimedia.htm Also, a few universities I work with are hiring more web 2.0 social technologists to produce videos for their Web site from campus media, do professor profiles, student interviews, and to manage Facebook, Youtube Channels, Linked-in accounts, Twitter, etc. for all the different departments such as alumni, Web, development, sports, admissions, etc, who all need this kind of help, believe it or not!!! They try and use work-study students who know how to it, but they are not full time professionals. We are also setting up blogs for departments who are just getting to that point!
[videoblogging] Re: Does the Blog format work for Vlogging anymore?
The blogging format for video blogging doesn't really work for two reasons. One, the tendency is to do a video blog much like the average boring blog post, which consistently deals with the mundane aspects of our lives. There's nothing wrong with that except that unless your day was more interesting than everyone elses, you won't get that much attention.

Re: [videoblogging] how to repair out of sync .mp4 files
Hi everyone: I may be getting in late on this, so if I am, please bear with me. First of all, you should NEVER rip your preview video directly into what you will encode your final draft version into. This is because (As you just found out the hard way), if there ARE any technical issues, they can be corrected via the preview version. The preview version should ALWAYS be encoded in either AVI (If you have a Windows machine), MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 formats. You can then load this version into just about any application such as TMGEnc or any of the others out there (I recommend TMPGEnc because its free while the others are either shareware or payware). THAT IN MIND THOUGH, you should be aware that A). These programs may not be able to correct *all* of the technical issues with your video, but they can help in correcting some or most of them. B). If the program or programs don't correct ANY of the issues at all, then more likely than not, the problem lies with the source file on the DVD itself. Not many applications can encode straight from DVD and still keep the encoded video bug free (TMPGEnc can only do so much to correct such anomalies). In any event, once you have your preview version, play it using any player. If there are no problems, then simply export it into your final draft MP4 video. Hope this helps Cheers Pat From: scoobyfox Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2008 16:10 To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Subject: [videoblogging] how to repair out of sync .mp4 files I just ripped and output (with Handbrake) a DVD from a show I did into an mp4 file.

Re: [videoblogging] YouTube alternatives - vlog review.
Hi everyone: Not only is what Rupert said below true BUT there are MANY other advantages as well. Some of them are A). Users can download the videos to their iPod or other portable device AS WELL AS their computer via RSS subscription or manual download BUT it's only from your own blog or website. (YouTube doesn't allow the download of ANY videos BY ANY MEANS even though many programmers have developed clients that ILLEGALLY do just that). B). You have ZERO rights control of your videos on YouTube (This is NOT good if you hope to use your videos to propel yourself into a major $$$ making career making videos). C). YouTube is JUST NOW getting into LIVE video (But even that isn't for just anyone). Meanwhile, you've got places like BlogTV, LiveVideo (Albeit just recently) even Yahoo! doing it. D). YouTube limits you to 10 minutes or 200 MB (The latter being a recent upgrade from 100 MB) per video clip. And even that is on a Whichever comes first basis whereas BlipTV and the others don't have such restrictions (Though I think BlipTV's stand-alone uploader has it, but since I don't normally use it, I can't claim that to be 100% fact). I could on and on, but I think you get the gist by now as to why most of us avoid YouTube like the plague as best as possible (Especially when it comes to producing videos which we hope to build a career on and around). That said though, having a YouTube channel AS A SUPPLEMENT to your video blog CAN be a GOOD thing. But ONLY if you do it right. This can be something as simple as putting your blog URL in your YouTube profile (As that's shown on the channel page).

Vimeo's quality is better and their community is better (but smaller) and they support HD. Blip allows you to link to the original mp4 file, which is necessary for podcasting and syndication via things like iTunes. Also, their flash Show Player allows you to embed high quality mp4 files rather than crappy quality flv. YouTube has many more people watching, but don't be fooled into thinking that that translates into lots of viewers for you unless you have a commercial/viral proposition. Also, their community stinks, it's full of haters and the video quality has always been bad. They're finally, after 3 years, sorting out widescreen playback and a higher quality option. But they'll never fix the attitude problem. It's different on your own blog or at the other services. And you still have to work at promotion. If you don't have the patience for something simple and labor-saving like TubeMogul, don't expect people to magically flock to your videos just cos they're on YouTube.

I have been uploading at YouTube, and I am curious why so many other people use Blip or Vimeo or such other services. Is it the quality? Because in my mind, the social functions and the masses of people that are on YouTube make it the only option for me. I also don't have the patience for multi-site distribution through TubeMogul or otherwise... That said, you guys and gals wanna tell me what you think of http://www.myfirstmemory.org? Thanks!

You have ZERO rights control of your videos on YouTube (This is NOT good if you hope to use your videos to propel yourself into a major $$$ making career making videos). What does that actually mean? It seems people are making money and still use Youtube. Can you clarify? D). YouTube limits you to 10 minutes or 200 MB (The latter being a recent upgrade from 100 MB) per video clip. And even that is on a Whichever comes first basis whereas BlipTV and the others don't have such restrictions (Though I think BlipTV's stand-alone uploader has it, but since I don't normally use it, I can't claim that to be 100% fact). Youtube file size limit is now 1GB but the 10min limit is still there. I have a BlipTV pro account which in theory provides priority flash encodes, but honestly I don't notice any speed difference with Youtube encodes. I know Vimeo is pretty bad with encoding speed. I hope they fix that.

[videoblogging] AVCHD playback on Mac
Is there a free add-on to the Quicktime player on a Mac to be able to play AVCHD files? I have 2GBs of AVCHD files to send to a Mac illiterate friend of mine, who is on a Mac. I converted those files to .mov, the result weighs 9GB of .mov files. The problem is how to send them to him. If there's an add-on I will send those AVCHD files via filemail.com Any help is highly appreciated... Thanks Renat
