[videoblogging] Off Topic... Self Publishing a Book...
I thought I might ask for a bit of off topic advice here, as you all are on the cutting edge of tech... Anyone have thoughts suggestions on self publishing a book? Checking out Lulu and Amazon's Booksurge, but totally cursory at this point in time... Any thoughts would be appreciated. Private responses are totally cool...

[videoblogging] question: camcorder
I went through all the discussion on the list about the best cheap camcorder to get. What was the conclusion in terms of the best sound and video quality? [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[videoblogging] Re: Flip Mino HD from FCP to h.264 for Blip/youtube
1. Why are you double-compressing? If you know you want to end up @ 640x360, do your initial AIC compression to that size. Maybe I missed that you want to have an HD version as well as a 640x360 version? 2. My workflow with FCP is Flip -> 1280x720 AIC -> edit in FCP -> output 1280x720 AIC Master -> VisualHub to make my .mp4 and .flv and .wmv versions. ~Bill http://billcammack.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, ryanne hodson wrote: > > hey robin > looks like you have a good workflow going > the one snag looks like the size of your quicktime file coming out of > compressor > i personally have had issues with compressor > and use these as my compression settings- > http://freevlog.org/content/ryannes-favorite-compression-settings > > your file should not be as big as 1.4 gigs, should be in the lower MB > range (depending on the length anyway) > blip will thank you for compressing your vids smaller too! > > let me know if you need more help > -ryanne > > -- > 508-264-0562 > http://RyanIsHungry.com > Twitter: http://twitter.com/ryanne > AIM: VideoRodeo > > > > On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 12:16 AM, Robin Dicker wrote: > > > > > > Hello Videobloggers. > > > > I'm new to this group and so happy with my Flip Mino HD.

[videoblogging] Re: Compression best practices
I use VisualHub for the mac to make all of my versions. Flip4Mac handles the WMV encoding (enables it for VisualHub, IIRC). The only time I'll use quicktime player, FCP or Compressor is when I need to make sure I have control over keyframes, etc. As far as quicktime, I found out from Justin Kownacki (http://somethingtobedesired.com) that there's a color depth difference between h.264 and regular mpeg-4. I agree with him that "regular" produces richer colors, but I still use h.264 for the lower data rates. ~Bill http://billcammack.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Adam Quirk wrote: > > Hey all, > I've used several compression UIs over the years, but I'm curious to hear > what your favorites are, and what your process is. > > I really like SUPER by Erightsoft (http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html) but > I usually have trouble converting from QT to WMV.
