Re: [videoblogging] Re: Videobloggers Twitter Meetup Video

[Adam Quirk]

On this note, Nelson and I are screening some Wreck & Salvage videos in
Brooklyn tonight.
http://mediamechanics.eventbrite.com/

We'll show an hour's worth of W+S
videos, followed by beers and talking and laughing etc.

It would be great to see some of you NYC folks there tonight.

I honestly don't know, and I have a hard time giving companies like this the
benefit of the doubt. I got the same generic email. It makes me wonder if
companies will ever learn, just treat people like real people and they'll do
the same. These "dear blogger" or  "dear person whose work we would like to
exploit for financial gain" emails don't do much for you in the positive
sentiment department.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: WebM Project

[Adam Quirk]

I don't know too much about this, but I've been following html5 developments
as much as my brain will allow me. It seems that for browsing on desktops
and laptops, this bodes well for the immediate future as far as
interactivity. But as for other video playback devices, h264 is going to
hold on tight for a few years, just like mpeg2 did with TV forever.

The blip guys talked back and forth a bit about it today on their respective
tumblrs:

There's a Facebook page for Vloggercue if anyone is interested in that sort
of thing:

Trying to get a rough estimate of how much booze and food we'll need. We'll

Re: [videoblogging] Re: external hard drives for editing?

[Adam Quirk]

Wow, I've been pricing out my next machine and I hadn't seen that Toshiba
before. The 64gb solid state alone makes me want it.

That's always a battle for me, because I feel like I *should* get a Mac
because of all the motion and editing I do, but then I start pricing them
out and realize I can have nearly double the processing power in a PC for
the same price. And really half the reason I'd be buying a Mac would be to
use their proprietary codecs and shit, which I hate to give in to. Feels
like I'm paying them to make my life harder.

As an editor, I literally stand up and leave the room if I pull a file from
a client's drive and it's in ProRES or some other Mac shit. I have to leave
the room, pace a bit, then come back and figure out when I can use my
fiancee's mac to transcode it to a universal codec. The clients don't do it
on purpose of course. They're just exporting the most intuitive way they
can. But Mac does do it on purpose.

My god I just hijacked this thread and tore down on Macs. Sorry, cocktail
night.

To sort of answer David's original question, I like external drives for
archiving, but only use internal SATA drives for project media. I have a
couple 500gb Caviars that do really well. Haven't had a problem for about 3
years. They're pretty cheap now too, well under $100 I think.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: 7D workflow for PC

[Adam Quirk]

Vegas is pretty nice. I used it for a project a couple years ago, and ended
up recommending it for a video kiosk in a mall where employees had to
quickly edit some HD footage on the fly. It's intuitive and quick, and
cheaper than most.

I'm so used to Premiere at this point that I probably won't switch unless
some open-source competitor comes along with all the features I need.

Re: [videoblogging] 7D workflow for PC

[Adam Quirk]

I just said "thanks Rupert" out loud. Neoscene just made my life much
easier. I'm kicking myself for sitting on it this whole time.

Yeah I like Premiere, but it's a fickle mistress. It crashes every once in a
while, as do all computer programs I suppose. I think it's about the same as
Final Cut, but I've only used FCP a couple times. I really like the keyframe
animation options built into Premiere, and it's pretty easy to switch back
and forth between After Effects and Premiere on the same project. In my
dreams, AE has audio editing and can import any codec.

[videoblogging] 7D workflow for PC

[Adam Quirk]

I got a 7D at the beginning of the year and I'm still not comfortable with
my workflow. Hoping someone here has some experience with it.

1. Pull clips into my raw video folder using the EOS Utility that comes with
the camera. This works well.

2. Convert the 1080p h.264 clips to raw uncompressed AVIs with converter
software (I use AVS). This is mainly because Premiere won't import them as
is. Was hoping to find a preset online to download, but haven't seen one
yet.

3. Pull them down into the timeline and render the whole thing. If you don't
do this, it's pretty much unusably jerky. Even after this, it's not always
smooth. I have a powerful machine too. I find that if I disable the audio, I
can scrub the footage pretty smoothly, but that just means I have to disable
the video track when I want to cut to the audio. FML.

4. Cut, render, compress.

So this is a bitch and a half, and I have been reading up on other people's
7D workflows around the web, but 90% of them are on Macs. Has anyone here
been working with 7D footage on a PC?

Thanks,
Adam

Re: [videoblogging] Vloggercue 2010

[Adam Quirk]

I was just asked to jot down the history of Vloggercue for someone, thought
I'd post it here too:

Vloggercue started in 2005 when a handful of videobloggers from around the
world got together to talk about technical issues and content of web video,
and what they were doing to shape it. Most everyone knew each other from
their videos, but many had never met in person. The Blip.tv founders were
there, after listening to videobloggers for months beforehand, and launched
their service that night. There was beer and Asian barbecue, among other
things.

Vloggercue 2007 was another rooftop affair, this time with many facets of
the web video industry represented, as at that point there was actually a
web video industry. It was less about personal vloggers, and more about show
creators and distribution. There were beer and ribs, among other things.

Vloggercue 2010 will try to conjure the energy of Vloggercue 1, inviting
anyone and everyone involved with web video. If you post videos of your cat
to Youtube, you're welcome. If you founded Youtube, you're welcome. Everyone
eats and drinks under the same Brooklyn roof, for free.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Streamy disaster

[Adam Quirk]

Hulu, Netflix, Youtube, Blip, Vimeo, a hundred other web video service
providers, and thousands of web video producers would disagree. I've been
making a living doing web video production and editing for the past two
years. It's still fledgling, but it's an industry.

And yeah, this was bad for everyone involved. People are rightfully pissed.

I'd say at $3k a month in sales you are in the top 1% of people making money
in web video. You're also not doing advertising, right?

Hey folks,

I'm heading to a Brooklyn events space tonight at 6:30 to start planning
Vloggercue 2010.

The only details I have right now are that it will be in June, in Brooklyn,
and free. As in free beer, free food, free video screening, free music, free
love.

After tonight I'll have more details to share.

Re: [videoblogging] An Introduction

[Adam Quirk]

Hi Mark, welcome.

Your site is simple and visually interesting, the topography integrated with
the embedded video is clever and works really well.

I'd suggest putting some kind of call to action on the site for people who
are interested. Could be as simple as an email signup form for people to get
on an announcement list for new TailTrex videos. If not, chances are people
will forget about the site by 2011, no matter how interested they are.

You can use Google docs to make a simple form to collect names and emails:

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Veoh is dead

[Adam Quirk]

You're awesome Rox. Thanks for persevering and doing what you love.

You are a great example to point to when people start out in this
medium, or any medium actually. Some people get into something like
web video or blogging and make something for a couple months, then get
frustrated when nobody is paying them $100k for their work. As 99% of
newcomers drop off after a few weeks or months because of their
unfulfilled feelings of entitlement, the people who are really
passionate push on and keep doing what they love regardless of
financial reward.

 As to Sull's points, there's a much larger quantity of
creators these days, I agree, but the percentage of good stuff to bad
stuff has not increased with the level of technology. The signal to
noise is obviously much worse than when there were 100 of us making
stuff. And the quality has suffered due to an influx of Hollywood
types trying to stuff Hollywood productions into a web video box.
Which usually doesn't work because they are generally out of work in
the first place because they weren't very good at their jobs in
Hollywood, and even if they were, that doesn't translate very well on
the web. That translation problem could soon be a thing of the past
since everything will be funneled to our TVs in the coming years, but
it still doesn't solve the problem of bad writing and acting.


Disclosure: I am a Streamys judge and IAWTV member. There is some damn
good material out there. It's not easy to find. The technical arts are
on par with the best TV and Hollywood. The writing/acting stuff needs
a lot of work.

It's basically the same thing as a viral video but harder to classify by the
standards used in major publications and press. Also, bacterial videos are
not susceptible to DMCA takedown notices (antibiotics) like most virals are.
It's brand new terminology so I doubt anyone has actually made one yet.
Aaron Valdez coined the term in early 2010.

Re: [videoblogging] The WGBH Lab | NOVA's "What Darwin Never Knew", and new Life Stories

[Adam Quirk]

I've just realized something about the emails WGBH sends our group. They
aren't signed by a human, and they aren't written conversationally (as they
should be to an email conversation group).

They contain pertinent information, but they're selling me something. Which
is crazy because theyre not even asking for money, they're selling me their
website, they're asking for a piece of my time and attention. But they
aren't asking me human to human, they're Selling me, company to customer.

It's a weird thing. It's weird that nobody has ever responded to a message
from WGBH on this Yahoo list since they opened up their B-roll for remixing
in 2008 (maybe just seeding the group with good will before their campaign
for our attention?).

WGBH does really amazing things and is in many ways leading the entire TV
broadcast world with their attention to the amateur/social/personal media
inception and evolution. So it's weird that they would choose to interact
with this group in a non-personal way.

This was just a thought I had when I got an email from a Brooklyn cohort
named Carlos who just recently saw the video he submitted to WGBH go live on
their contest website. I visited his link and watched the video and liked
it. I'm going back now to watch more.

Here's his:

[videoblogging] Nominate us for a Streamy

[Adam Quirk]

Hi,

The Streamys are an awards show for web video shows. It's sort of a
popularity contest, so if you could take 1 minute and submit us that would
be great.

All you have to do is go to the website, select "Best Experimental Series",
and put in our show.

1. Go here http://www.streamys.org/submit/public-submissions/

2. Category: Best Experimental Web Series (2/3 down the list)

3. Series Name: *Wreck & Salvage*

4. Series URL: *wreckandsalvage.com*

2010 is going to be a big year for web video, and a little bit of
recognition goes a long way.

I recommend you submit all your other favorite shows in their respective
categories as well. This is a great way to support your favorite producers
without having to shell out any cash.

Thanks,
Adam Quirk

Re: [videoblogging] Dickens and videoblogging

[Adam Quirk]

Definitely agree Jay. I love that aspects of videoblogging have become
prevalent in feature filmmaking and vice versa. It's good to share.

Also, Dickens basically invented Christmas as we know it. So there's that.

[videoblogging] Dickens and videoblogging

[Adam Quirk]

Hi,

Just thought this was worth mentioning here. I'm reading a few books on
Dickens to satisfy my inner fanboy and this idea just struck a chord with
me.

Dickens expanded the social/economic scope of the novel while expanding its
> linguistic resources with no regard for class status or stylistic propriety.
> Ultimately, he allowed the reader to regard more of the life around him by
> allowing it to be important enough to get into a novel. He thereby expanded
> the audience of the novel itself.


In a sense this is exactly what videoblogging has done for film and
television. By showing the audience more of the world around them, you show
that all those minor details and in-between moments are actually important
enough to document, thereby decreasing the threshold of importance and
allowing more people behind the curtain of storytelling.

Dickens was a forefather of videoblogging. Pretty badass!

Good call.

Is there a way to forego critical thinking altogether and just record and
parse brain waves during REM sleep? That seems like a logical next step in
creativity productivity efficiency. That is not a rhetorical question. If
anyone reading this wants to help build such a thing, and happens to know a
fun-loving neurologist, please email me.

[videoblogging] NavLoPoMo Day 20

[Adam Quirk]

Jay emailed me his video and I watched it at around 8:30am this morning,
held back tears, then let a couple go when Ryanne showed up.

Cursed him quietly but aloud, and emailed him that I was going to go out and
try to capture something. He said "Do your thing.."

This is really not my thing. But I liked making it.

Sorry about the rules, I'm way over 90 seconds.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: NaVloPoMo 2009

[Adam Quirk]

For the sake of anyone planning to watch all 30 videos, it would be merciful
for us all to limit ourselves to 90 seconds.
It will also be easier for the next day's producer to ingest and digest a 90
second video for inspiration rather than a 6 or 10 minute one.

Although it looks like I have the day after Dedman, so I'm kind of hoping to
see a 14 minute in-depth meditation on a single slug.

[videoblogging] Recording live video chat in HD

[Adam Quirk]

Looking for a solution for recording HD quality video from two locations
simultaneously.
1 guy in NYC studio
1 guy in LA apartment

The guys need to see each other and talk to each other live, and both video
feeds need to be recorded in HD.

Looked into OooVoo, which may be a good solution.

Another thought was to just have them set up their HD cams and hit record,
then use iChat to talk to each other and sync the video later.

I'm open to all suggestions free or paid, PC or Mac.

Thanks,
Adam

Not when you don't care about outdated laws. There are people in Texas

[videoblogging] Sports highlight footage?

[Adam Quirk]

Hey all,
I'm making a couple videos featuring highlights from baseball and football.
I've found some pretty decent stuff by torrenting some "100 best football
plays" DVDs and such, but I'm wondering if any of you know of any good
online repositories for sports clips?

Youtube is pretty quick to delete stuff from ESPN, and ESPN.com and MLB.com
are both pretty worthless for this sort of thing.

Copyrights are not an issue for this project.

Re: [videoblogging] Keeping tapes

I get that same choking feeling. I feel the need to purge every once in a

But the tapes I'm keeping. Boxed up and in the back of the closet where I

[videoblogging] Keeping tapes

[Adam Quirk]

I'm in the middle of a move, and came across the box of mini-DV tapes I've
accumulated over the years. I'm seriously considering chucking it all.
Will I, or anyone, really ever want to watch two-hundred hours of random
clips from my life and work?

There's a part of me that wants to keep everything, every second that I
shot. But there's another part of me that knows I already cut and uploaded
and shared the best parts of these tapes.

I'm not really sure what I'm asking here, but you guys would probably have
the best insight into this sort of thing.

Thanks for the Vegas recommendations. I'm going to download that and give it
a shot anyhow.

[videoblogging] Codec hell

[Adam Quirk]

I have a drive full of video I need to edit on my PC. Due to circumstances
beyond my control, these files are all either Apple Intermediary Codec, or
HDV 720p. Neither of which will import into any PC based NLEs.
I've been searching high and low for a solution, and everyone on the forums
just says "have them export an uncompressed version, or something you can
edit". That isn't an option. Anybody here know a workaround for either of
these codecs?

Thanks,
Adam

Re: [videoblogging] automatic pan and zoom?

[Adam Quirk]

Some webcams have motion tracking. No transmitter required, the software
just senses motion and tracks the subject.
Google "motion tracking camera" and you'll find a lot of security cameras
that do the same thing.

[videoblogging] Compression best practices

[Adam Quirk]

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. Directshow seems to throw
a wrench in the gears.

I use QT Pro for almost all of my compression, but I'm still hunting for a
good WMV solution.

Windows Media Encoder isn't an option for me, as it almost always crashes
for some reason.

Is anyone still using Sorenson Squeeze?

What is your process for compressing to all the different formats from your
master?

Mine:
1. Render uncompressed AVI at 1280x720p
2. Open in QT, Export Movie, h.264 1280x720p 2.5mbps
3. Open in QT, Export for Web, iPhone m4v and iPhone 3gp
4. Open in Super, Export to WMV9 1280x720p 2.5mbps

Note: I'm on PC, but if you're on Mac please feel free to share too. Someone
else may be interested.

Thanks,
Adam

Re: [videoblogging] how to allow broadcast quality video download for EPK?

[Adam Quirk]

I'm pretty sure you can host files that large at Blip.
If you're looking for an easy storage solution for big files in general, I
suggest Drop.io:
http://manager.drop.io/plans

<http://manager.drop.io/plans>And there's always S3:

Re: [videoblogging] vimeo is going to stop hosting source videos (starting August 1st)

[Adam Quirk]

I would pay extra for Blip.tv to cross-post my uploads to a cloud like S3.
That seems like a fairly easy thing to implement too. Just plug in your S3
account information like you'd plug in your Archive.org info or any other
cross-post logins.

[videoblogging] Tangent, a crowdfunding experiment

[Adam Quirk]

Hey all,
I just launched a new project called Tangent. It's a bit more coherent than
things I've made in the past.

It's a history series that shows how all things past, present, and future
are related and reciprocal. The pilot episode shows how credit cards are
related to the Pledge of Allegiance, Eisenhower, and the Interstate Highway
System.
http://tangent.ws

The show is only half the news though. I'm also crowdfunding the production
budget. I've split the show up into $10 shares, kept 51%, and am selling off
the other 49% to individual investors. These investors will potentially
profit from any ad revenue or licensing fees the show makes over the next 2
years.

I've laid it out in fairly simple terms here:
http://tangent.ws/funding

So if you have some extra loot lying around (and really who doesn't these
days), I'd love your support. I'm going to be busting my ass to get this
thing spread across the web, and glad-handing my way into as many
distribution deals as possible. So it may actually be possible to make some
money off this thing. No promises though.

Also, if you have any press contacts that may be interested in this sort of
crowdfunding/microfinancing story, please send them my way.

Ok,
AQ

Re: [videoblogging] Joanne leaves Rocketboom

[Adam Quirk]

No big conspiracy, just that if I were a host of a popular show I may not
want naked doll whores with ambiguous genitalia wearing masks of me. Take
that for what it's worth.
But at the end of the day, the video makes fun of obsessive web show fanboys
and not Joanne at all.

Glad you liked it, and thanks for the phantom retroactive nomination.

Re: [videoblogging] HDVid M2TS convertion

[Adam Quirk]

Premiere can edit m2t natively, but that's not free.

I'm pretty sure Super can convert m2t files. I use it for converting
anything to anything else. Note: their web site is a mess, it takes a while
to find the download link: http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html

And I would guess Avid Free DV probably could too, but it was discontinued.
You can find an old version floating around somewhere online though.

Re: [videoblogging] PBS Video - full-length episodes online

[Adam Quirk]

I agree with most of what Mike said, especially the part about it being
awesome. Great work Josh!
Definitely looking forward to seeing what you're rolling out next.

Love to see embeds and downloads, and maybe searchable, granular clips for
remixing?

Re: [videoblogging] YouTube will lose half a billion dollars this year

[Adam Quirk]

It's still early in the game. They're rolling out new revenue models all the
time. This one seems to be doing well:

> Credit Suisse analysts may have to revisit their estimate that YouTube will
lose $470 million this year.  The site has rolled out its Click-to-Buy
program - which is intended to result in quite a lot of revenue-sharing - in
eight new countries.

Click-to-Buy's best success
story so
far has probably been that of Monty Python.  After the comedy troupe
launched a YouTube channel with links to Amazon, sales of one DVD boxed set
soared by about 23,000 percent.  Not bad for content that's a couple of
decades old, right?

Re: [videoblogging] The Interwebs show, business of tech and new media

[Adam Quirk]

I agree completely about the sound, you'd think I would know better by now.
Thing is, that outdoor interview was impromptu and I didn't have any
equipment with me. The gals are new to video and shot a lot of that segment
themselves, but are definitely learning fast. We'll use lapels for the
in-studio stuff from now on. I don't remember why we didn't in the first
place. Probably booze.
So there are my excuses, along with a promise that next episode will be
better. I've already shot a couple segments for it, both of which are mic'd
properly.

We send our stuff out to TubeMogul as well, and have a few hundred views
across the other various platforms, but we're concentrating on building our
on-site audience with the blip player for now. We're using blip for a bunch
of reasons, but mostly because they're the best at finding sponsorships
deals for shows.

Yeah we ran five abbreviated shows during SXSW, but this is the first
full-length episode.
Next week we're adding another segment called Web 1.0: Where Are They Now?
in which we talk to the founder of Bolt.com about the glory days before the
bubble.

[videoblogging] The Interwebs show, business of tech and new media

[Adam Quirk]

Video globbers,
I just launched a new project that you folks may find mildly interesting.

It's called The Interwebs, a weekly show about the business of tech and new
media. We're going to try to make it 60% smart and 60% funny.

Most pertinent to this list is our closing segment each week called Vital
Signs, in which my co-producer Nate and I openly discuss our statistics,
viewership, and finances; all the other ins and outs of producing a show for
the web. AOL keyword: transparency.

This week Vital Signs starts at around the 7:04 mark:
http://theinterwebs.tv/post/92264825/welcome-to-the-interwebs-0-24-this-week-nate

Eat it all though if you have time, it's good food.

Ok,

Re: [videoblogging] Re: "To be a videoblogger, drink lots of water..."

[Adam Quirk]

I took the time to craft a thoughtful response to some little shithead who
commented "Fag. You should just give up." on one of my personal videos, and
I eventually confused and embarrassed him into apologizing. I sent him a
private message that said "I've been thinking a lot about what you said, and
after some lengthy deliberation and soul searching I've realized that I may
very well be a fag. But I don't feel the need to give up just yet because
I'm really just learning how to make videos, and I think with more practice
I'll be able to make some great stuff, or at least have fun in the process."

Highly cathartic and recommended.

send you a case in exchange for a Not Slutsky tee.

Re: [videoblogging] The Time is Now Return to Earth

[Adam Quirk]

It's hard to videoblog from an electricity-free indigenous forest.
Try spreading your hippie agenda in more relevant forums. Go sell crazy
somewhere else, we're all stocked up here.

Agreed Miguel. Plus, she's dancing. Dancing is always good.

Re: [videoblogging] Kiva.org video

[Adam Quirk]

Yeah, it's quite an enormous order. Good idea though to try to find a pair
of folks.
I think this particular project (Kiva) is incredibly awesome, and if I had
any spare hours I'd definitely donate them to this. I'm just barely making
time for my billable work right now though, so it's out of my hands.

[videoblogging] Kiva.org video

[Adam Quirk]

Hey all,
A friend of mine is working with Kiva (http://kiva.org). They are in need of
an entertaining video to explain Kiva to investors, something along the
lines of this animated Credit Crisis Visualized video (
http://vimeo.com/3261363).

Unfortunately they don't have a budget for such a thing, so they're looking
for someone who could benefit from a bunch of exposure in exchange for some
donated video production work hours.

If anyone is interested, email me back and I'll put you in touch with them.

Thanks,

Re: [videoblogging] HDV tapes

[Adam Quirk]

I haven't had any problems with Panasonic mini dv tapes for recording HD,
and haven't noticed any quality difference when using HD tapes vs SD tapes
either. Not worth the ~50% markup in my opinion.
Definitely a good idea to stick to one brand per camera though, as has been
mentioned here before. Something about the coating they use to lubricate the
tape is different among the various brands, and can cause jams if you mix
and match. Search the archive for a better explanation.

Re: [videoblogging] Tricorn Live Now

[Adam Quirk]

Thanks everyone who showed up. It was great seeing all your names in the
chatter box, even if I didn't get a chance to chatter back.
The live aspect was twofold, we had our webcams plugged in, and occasionally
during the broadcast (rarely) we'd cut to them. But the entire hour was
spent selecting clips from each of our folders. We spent a couple weeks
gathering video from various sources on the vague topic of "health", then
each of us gradually built up a small library of clips in our Mogulus studio
folders. We had scripted the first 3 minutes of the hour, but after that it
was a free-for-all. All three of us had our fingers on the buttons, so if we
saw a clip from one of the other two that we thought we could follow, we'd
cue it up. Sometimes we'd trump each other with a clip we thought was better
for the flow.
As Valdez said last night after it was over, it really helps to do this with
people you trust.

It was exhilarating. I'm really looking forward to next month's. We're going
to mix in a little more live webcam action I think.

Also, we're taking recommendations for themes. I'm personally leaning
towards "Space" or "Satellites", but it's still wide open.

[videoblogging] Media buy agreements

[Adam Quirk]

Hello,
Does anyone have or know of any boilerplate media buy agreements, such as
"We agree to pay $X for 5 pre-roll 0:15 second spots", or anything of that
sort?

Looking for a very stripped down version of something like this:
http://contracts.onecle.com/800-attorney/futuredontics.ad.2001.03.28.shtml

Was hoping to find something at my go-to place for stuff like this, but
nothing turned up at http://www.dependentfilms.net/files.html

Thanks,

Re: [videoblogging] MP4 video track missing

[Adam Quirk]

Thanks Rambo. I think it turned out to be a strange combination of both
aspect ration and frame rate. I tried running it through every compression
app I have, and nothing worked. Finally, I ended up just bringing the files
into Premiere one by one, adjusting fps and aspect, re-aligning the audio
and video tracks (they somehow got disassociated) and then rendering out
from there.

Incredible hassle. I'm not sure why Vegas did this, as I was pretty explicit
in my compression settings I thought. But this definitely turned me off from
that product. Back to Premiere, the devil I know.

[videoblogging] MP4 video track missing

[Adam Quirk]

Hi all,

I've been trying to transcode a batch of MP4s that were exported from Vegas
Pro as h264/AAC.

The strange thing is they play fine for me, but when I upload them to Blip,
their server can't transcode them. So I tried recompressing them myself in
QT Pro and the output has no video track. Even viewing the info for the mp4
in QT Pro shows a video track with n/a as filesize. So strange.

Hoping that Jake or one of you other video codec masters can shine some
light on this.

Here is a sample of the videos in question:

[videoblogging] Presenting stills in video

[Adam Quirk]

I'm looking for interesting ways to incorporate still photos into video. If
you've seen any interesting ways they have been presented, post a link.
Looking for alternatives to the tried and true Ken Burns style.
Thank you,
Adam Quirk

Re: [videoblogging] Dropping frames, long firewire?

[Adam Quirk]

Amazingly, this problem decided to solve itself. I have no idea how or why,
but I have no more latency issues.
Thanks for the help, universe.

[videoblogging] Dropping frames, long firewire?

[Adam Quirk]

Hey all,
I'm running into some frame drop issues with a live capture setup I'm
doing.

I'm running a 25' firewire alongside some power and HDMI cables, from my
HV30 shooting in SD to Vegas Pro on a Vista 64bit PC. I'm running a couple
fast SATAs, one running the software and windows, and one capturing the
media. And all other programs are shut down.

Questions:
Is the length an issue?
Is there a possibility of interference from the other cables being next to
it?
Is there a way around either of these?
Do I need some sort of amplifier for the firewire?

This is probably a question for another forum, but I know a lot of you folks
have messed with this sort of stuff before.

Halp.

Re: [videoblogging] Football chalkboard

You could do it the low-rent hacky way and just use black marker on white
paper, video yourself writing on it, then reverse it and key out the black
in post. That's what I did here, and you can see I wasn't very clean with
the lighting or key, but I'm sure you could make it look better if you put
more effort in. http://www.vimeo.com/422389

Re: [videoblogging] Record live video via firewire

[Adam Quirk]

I think the tape problem can be remedied by just having a tape in the deck,
you don't have to actually record to the tape.
I know mac is better at this sort of thing, but we're already invested in PC
hardware unfortunately.

[videoblogging] Record live video via firewire

[Adam Quirk]

Hello
I'm looking for a way to record live video via Firewire cable attached to a
PC.

My workflow will be HV30 > firewire > Vista PC

The camera will be on at all times, and I just need to be able to record
minute-long chunks every once in a while.

Can MovieMaker do this? I seem to remember not being able to get a live
picture, not being able to use the DV cam as a webcam.

All suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,
Adam

You're right, we should wait and see. I guess I did jump the gun a bit.

But my inner cynic has a really strong feeling that this is just more

Re: [videoblogging] TroopTube (I shit you not)

[Adam Quirk]

There are more than 2, and they all seem to be of the "life shure is swell"
demeanor http://www.trooptube.tv/videos/featured

I didn't know that Youtube was blocked by military IPs. That must be a very
recent thing, because there are a ton of uploaded videos on there from our
troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

You can't make this out very well without logging in and friending her, but
in my cousin's facebook profile picture, she wrote the words "I Hate Iraq"
in the sand with her boot. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=47211212

That's the sort of thing that probably wouldn't fly on Trooptube.

[Adam Quirk]

This is a slap in the face to the soldiers. It says "we don't want you to
use 'normal' methods of communication because we're afraid of what you'll
say". Disgusting.

My cousins in Iraq just update their facebook status, upload video to
youtube, and send emails home like normal human beings.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: McCain on Blip = a Shame

[Adam Quirk]

Your definition of censorship must be entirely different than Cambridge's
then:
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=12160&dict=CALD

This isn't even a slippery slope anymore, it's a full on landslide of
muzzling the opposing viewpoint. I just don't understand why anyone would
want to be encourage that kind of fascist behavior.

If you disagree with someone in an argument, do you hold your hands over
your ears when they are talking?

Re: [videoblogging] Re: McCain on Blip = a Shame

[Adam Quirk]

Clarified. Thanks. I know you're a proponent of free speech. Hope this 3am
rant didn't seem to be coming down on you in particular. Just got home from
a bar where I was talking with some friends about our constitution and how
it's been pillaged over the past 50 years, read this thread, and got really
upset.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: McCain on Blip = a Shame

[Adam Quirk]

I have to assume most Americans are as disgusted by this thread as I am.
Having seen and heard and been influenced by European ideas of "speech
laws", it fucking sickens me to see discussion of banning or censoring
certain points of view.

I don't give a fuck if John McCain says that liberal democrats are
donkey-fucking satanists and that we as a people have to rise up against
them to save our culture.

He's allowed to say whatever the fuck he wants. Thank god.

So-called "hate speech" laws in Europe are one of the many reasons I'll
never move there.

As flawed as my government is, I know for a fact, as predicated in the
goddamned constitution that I live under, that I can say whatever the fuck I
want about whomever the fuck I want, whenever, wherever, and to whomever I
want. I only wish other countries had these rights.

[videoblogging] 3GP from PC to Mobile

[Adam Quirk]

Hello,

I'm looking to send 3GP videos from a PC at our physical venue to many
different mobile phones. I'm looking for a solution without having to buy a
short code, GSM modem, etc. Maybe some open-source software?

Any recommendations?

Thanks,
Adam
