[videoblogging] Best Video Sitemap Tool

2010-01-16 Thread Julian Seery Gude
Hi Gang,

I need to start producing larger quantities of video sitemaps for clients and 
want a tool or process that will make the process quick and easy. Do you have 
any recommendations?

Thanks so much!

p.s. Anyone drooling over the new full HD 60fps Sanyo Xacti VPS-CS1 for $299? I 
am. I'm thinking it is my next camera but I'm terribly sad they didn't put an 
external mic on it. Instead we have "Sound zoom". Bollocks.

[videoblogging] Re: Wireless Microphone

2010-01-16 Thread pageflex2001
Richard,

B&H used to be the best when it came to customer service. I live in NYC and my 
last trip to the physical store location yielded in losing trust in this store. 
I even asked for the manager and he never came to hear my concerns, they sent a 
security guard to tackle the issue.
And you know what was the issue? They did not let me into the store because I 
had my folding bike (Strida) with me. A week or so prior they did let me in 
with this same bike as long as I had it checked in into the bag check room.

So sharing my experience with this community that B&H has become a horrible 
place to spend your hard-earned money I think is beneficial to everyone here. 
After all, going to another retailer when shopping online is only a click away.

I am not in any way promoting Sweetwater, far from it, but they had a live 
person call me on the phone as soon as I placed an order to make sure my 
camcorder will be compatible with this wireless mike system. After the sale I 
had a question and I called them back and the rep was very kind to walk me 
through the process.

This is what customer service should be like.

I say, boycott B&H until they change their way of treating their customers.

Julian,

Thanks for this question.  I also need to begin to generate this type of
content for embedding in client blogs and websites etc, and I am reluctant
to get a professional rig when I see people doing well with a Flip or
otherwise and have been worried about better audio.

I think the Kodak Zi8 is leading the way with external mics and ease of use,
but I also hear stories of it malfunctioning and not working up to standards
of those that believe mics are important for the sound quality of a
professional video.

I am also very interested in what the experts here are doing and what they
are using on a budget.

If you have Dreamweaver, there's an HTML sitemap generator, which can  
make a sitemap for both pages and files at:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&loc=en_us&extid=1289018&PID=2874929

There's also a good Google-spec XML sitemap generator for Dreamweaver.

And there's a Google XML sitemap generator plugin for Wordpress.  I  
bet there's an HTML sitemap generator plugin too.

[videoblogging] Join Me In My New Year's Resolution - 2 Per Month in 2010!

2010-01-16 Thread robdparrish
Hello All!

I'm writing to share my New Year's resolution to post at least two videos to 
hoppervideo.net every month of 2010.  Like many of you, I was part of the early 
wave of videobloggers.  And also like many of you, my original videoblog has 
gone to seed of late (Only 2 posts in 2009!).  I've been busy making videos, 
just not for Hopper.

This resolution came to me when I was reading some posts on this list about 
Vloggercon and how fun and exciting the early days were.  It made me miss that 
cozy family feel that videoblogging had way back in 2005/06.  So, dear family, 
I'd invite you to join me in the "2 Videos Per Month in 2010 Project"! (I'd 
also invite you to come up with a better name for the project!) Dust off your 
original videoblog and make is sing once more!

Rob

The book is great. Back in 2005 I was getting started with video. You comments 
for me here and on the FlashMeeting live video conferences were a huge help in 
my historic building preservation work.

Now I can pass out copies of your book to all my colleagues who what to do

Thanks for the help, the inspiration and the new book.

It's not surprising that governments have so quickly started taking
the internet seriously because it's so quickly become such a powerful
way to form opinion. But still, it's difficult to believe an Italian
law would actually be so crazy. I wonder if this is just an extreme
interpretation.

Re: [videoblogging] Proposed Web video restrictions cause outrage in Italy

2010-01-16 Thread Joly MacFie
I think these legislations are aimed at big time broadcasters who are
traditionally regulated, and are just aimed at extending that regulation
onto the net. What's missing is language to differentiate them from the rest
of us.

And, since it's a continuous slope, it's difficult to draw lines -
especially when it comes to endorsements.

That's insane, fight it!
Just as insane as our proposed mandatory internet filter here in
Australia which I have spoken out about:

Yeah, I read that the proposed internet filter would slow down the
entire web in Australia by 10-15%...all to protect people from child
porn.

Joly is right that if laws are to be passed, better language must be
inserted to differentiate kinds of producers. But that also becomes a
slippery slope. How do you define "independent" or "commercial". Big
vs small. In the US, this is when anti-regulation folks make claim
that any government involvement just creates bureaucracy and arbitrary
enforcement. Lobbyists then make the rules. Taxes on the internet are
just around the corner.

The proposed Net Neutrality in the US seems to be a pretty clear rule
that protects people's access to the internet from the whims of
corporations (since the internet pipes are all corporate owned). But
even here there are strong arguments that Net Neutrality is just the
FCC's way to start regulating the web.

Currently, the web still has the smell of the Wild West, but the land
speculators are circling and the bulldozers are revving up. Is it just
the natural evolution of all human endeavors?
