You could create a public folder in something like dropbox or google

I've done skype and aol videochat on a mac - no issues... Seemed to be

Here's my video -
http://davidleeking.com/etc/2009/11/23/navlopomo-wheres-daddy/

In Mike Moon’s 
video,
he appears and disappears a time or two, and his familiar backyard scene
keeps jumping around. That reminded me of my busy work and travel schedule,
and how I might be constantly appearing, disappearing, and reappearing again
to my kids.

Hence, I appear and disappear a bunch in the video, which is set to echoey
music.

Special thanks to the crow who somehow chirped in time to the beat.

Re: [videoblogging] Copyright Music?

[David King]

Don't remember who, but I heard someone say music companies should embrace
the personal copying/reuse of their music, and instead of blocking it in
YouTube, for example ... notice it, and then add targeted ads when the song
is played.

Music companies would end up with more money, individuals wouldn't hate the
music company for blocking their perfect song for the video, and everybody
would kiss and make up.

Ok, probably not quite to that extent, but you get my drift... :-)

Re: [videoblogging] Re: NaVloPoMo 2009-we should -still try 1 video a day

[David King]

It's just a slightly easier way to keep track of things that happened that
year. So if there are 3-4 years of navlopomo, and you search for that tag,
you get everything. But if you search for navlopomo09, you would just find
the stuff happening in 2009 (assuming eeryone used the tag).

I'm ambivalent - heck, use BOTH tags, and you're covered both ways!

Re: [videoblogging] 2nd Navlopomo chain...?

[David King]

Rupert - I think your original idea is fine. You suggested a creative  
way to do navlopomo and people responded. Cool!

If others want to do the same type of thing, nothings stopping them  
from starting a second calender ... Or better yet, doing 30 vids and  
showing us up bigtime :-)

Agree - 3 min or less is a nice loose time constraint. Shorter tends to be
better, just enough to cover your idea.

It should be pretty interesting to see all the videos at once - it'll be a

will be cool too).

I'm smiling, thinking of the childhood game of whispering a phrase, passing
it along 31 times, then seeing what comes out the other end :-) Should be a
great month!

[videoblogging] interactive YouTube story videos

[David King]

Thought y'all would find this interesting. I know you can link to other
videos inside a YouTube video - but Shoebox (The Hallmark Cards guys)
created an interactive story video series - sorta fun!

http://www.shoeboxblog.com/?p=11676

Pretty cool to see those interactive youtube links used for something fun
and story-based.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: FTC rules on blogger Payola

[David King]

Very much agree with Roxanne and what Jay just said. But for many of us
blogger-types, it gets sorta murky. For large blogs with multiple staff, or
for blogs like in Roxanne's example, where the blogger happens to be a
travel blogger on a trip ... that seems fairly clear-cut to me. It's a
business, you should disclose stuff.

But not all blogs are that type of blog. My main blog, for example - I
started out blogging about stuff I found interesting that was connected with
my job, more to remember the cool stuff I found than anything. It's morphed
into sort of a part-time job. I get speaking engagements because I blog.
Publishers sometimes send me techie books to look at. Etc.

I get it - it's a small business, and I make sure to say "hey, they sent me
a book" or whatever. But it's been a lng trip between now and when I
started. I know a lot of bloggers that mix business and pleasure,
professional interests and family, and well - they're still in that murky
middle area where policies like the FTC is going after ... wouldn't even
dawn on them.

That, plus the fact that there are like a gazillion blogs out there, makes
this a hard thing to enforce, I think :-)

Re: [videoblogging] Videoblogging social network

[David King]

The only downside to something more open like a drupal install is that
someone (or even better, a couple of someones) need to commit to running /
maintaining the thing. Also possibly paying a little bit once in a while if
it has a domain name, etc.

But I agree - it DOES sound like the next iteration of this videoblogging
group. And I like those ideas!

Hey Chad! You might take a look at this page for YouTube -

It's what they recommend you upload for the best quality... something to

[videoblogging] changes at blip

[David King]

Just an fyi - blip.tv users should go read this post for some cool blip
changes: http://theblog.blip.tv/post/150863774/blip-tv-the-next-generation

In a nutshell, here's what they're doing:

   - A completely new Show Creator
Dashboard(this is being rolled out
slowly, starting with about a hundred show
   creators)
   - An expanded distribution network that now includes YouTube, Vimeo and
   NBC.
   - Expanded television distribution via Verizon, Roku, Sony Consumer
   Electronics and TiVo.
   - New technology partnerships with FreeWheel and TubeMogul to drive
   richer analytics and smooth advertising trafficking across the entire
   blip.tv network.

Great! Maybe blip stats will work at tubemogul (I haven't gotten that to
work yet). Maybe I don't even need to use tubemogul anymore, since I just
use it to send video to youtube and vimeo.

Either way - cool to see one of my favorite tools succeed!

It's because I laid hands on my Mac first and then did a rain dance :-)

That's pretty freaky that 75% of your class could, but 25% couldn't!

One more thought on the differences between our two Macs - I don't have
iMovie 06 on mine ... I wonder if that makes some crazy difference?

It's not an HDFlip - it's the Flip Ultra that shoots SD video. Still willing
to send a clip if the model of my Flip doesn't change anything... gotta love

I haven't tested in FCP (I have FCE, but not FCP and haven't tested it in
FCE either), so not sure there. But with iMovie, no extra transcoding steps
- just what I've listed. I don't have to use mpgstreamclip or anything...

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Which cheapo Mini HD Camcorder would you buy today?

[David King]

It's working for me! I think with the added codec, it works fine. At least,
I was just able to take a flip video, dump it into iphoto, then open imovie
09 (yes, the new one), in event library click the iPhoto videos, and drag
the video into a new project.

So somewhere between the Flip codec and iMovie 09, Flip is working easier
than it used to. Sweet.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Which cheapo Mini HD Camcorder would you buy today?

[David King]

Cool - I've never hit apple i before!

Here's what it says:
Format: XviD (3ivx), 640X480, millions
microsoft ADPCM, Mono, 44.100 kHz
FPS: 30
etc... (pretty sure that's the relevant stuff).

Checking the 3ivx thing - on your Flip, double click the icon to open up the
folder, open the System folder, open the Install folder ... and install the
macintosh 3ivx installer. There's one for Windows, too - so it works with
Windows Movie Maker. That's what I installed to make it work.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Which cheapo Mini HD Camcorder would you buy today?

[David King]

Hmm... my Flip works fine on my Mac with no conversions. Wonder what the
difference is?

I have very sketchy memories of this ... but I think there's some type of
codec that comes on the Flip that you have to install for it to work on a
Mac ... but again, not remembering... just know that on both my Macs,
there's absolutely no conversions needed. And that's with different Flip
cameras, too.

Puzzling!

Re: [videoblogging] iphone 3gs video testing so far

[David King]

My emailed video from the iphone to blip certainly didn't show up at blip
yet, so I can confirm what Verdi said. Not sure about the length of an
emailed iphone video - haven't really tested that. The video I emailed to
blip was probably a 10-20 second test video.

[videoblogging] iphone 3gs video testing so far

[David King]

Y'all might be interested in my rambling blog post about video on the new
iPhone 3GS - it's here:
http://www.davidleeking.com/2009/06/22/playing-with-iphone-3gs-video/

The video quality is not too shabby - reports are saying it's about as good
as video on the non-HD Flip camera. I'm still a bit confused about the whole
landscape vs vertical mode... sometimes I SWEAR I'm shooting in landscape
mode ... but when I upload the video to YouTube, it's flipped it to vertical
mode. Same with iPhoto and iMovie ... but not all the time.

Anyway - check out my post! Anyone else get the new iphone? What do YOU
think of its video capabilities?

[videoblogging] Using thesis theme for my videoblog - check it out

I've been using the Thesis theme (Wordpress-based theme) for my regular blog
for awhile now, and really like it - so I decided to upgrade to a multi-user
license and use it for my videoblog, too - check it out -
http://davidleeking.com/etc/

I'm using the Minimal skin with it - it works quite nicely for a no-frills
videoblog theme. Looking forward to hacking it up a bit more when I have

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Leaders using video for dipolmacy

[David King]

Yeah... I'm much more on the "we'll see" side. It's certainly cool to  
reach out to a nation with YouTube ... But I'm not sure many of them  
actually have access to YouTube. So then, it turns into a dorky "I  
really don't get the web" moment. Something Obama can check off his  
list without actually doing anything.

That'd be nice! As an aside, at last weeks sxsw, I didn't see one

Re: [videoblogging] Example of how online video has evolved

[David King]

Agreed - the archive part is important, and lacking. Still problems  
with search, too. There have been some experimental "search audio  
within the video" search engines, but nothing mainstream yet. Right  
now, most video search is confined to descriptive text surroundind the  
video - not the actual narrative or script of the video itself.

Lots of work done, lots of work still to do!

Yeah - I went to the Salt Lick last year with Scoble's group. Dinner and
conversation were fun - the long drive, not so much.

OK - so what's that barbeque place in Austin called? Let's figure out date,
time, and location and I can put up a facebook event (or someone else can, I
don't care). But let's get this done!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Josh Leo's site

[David King]

Yep - bigtime bummer! And agreed with wordpress. About half their  
updates are because of security fixes.

That said, wordpress simply rocks as a self hosted blog platform - I  
love it.

Hope he doesn't have too much trouble sorting through the mess

[videoblogging] Josh Leo's site

Anyone know what happened to josh Leo's site (joshleo.com)? It looks  
like it is gone ... & I really like his videos!

Just curious

[videoblogging] want a one-off teaching gig?

[David King]

A colleague of mine wants to hold a hands-on basics of editing video type
class. She'd probably use Windows Movie Maker, and I'm guessing the class
would be for about 10-20 students. This is for the Long Island Library
Council consortium in Bellport NY. I gave a "Basics of VideoBlogging"
presentation there last year, and they want to go further with it - very
cool, but I don't really teach video editing (I'm as confused as the next
guy when it comes to editing!).

So - anyone living around Long Island/NY area interested in teaching a bunch
of librarians how to edit their videos? This is a paying gig (not sure how
much - you'll need to work that out with the contact).

If you are interested, let me know and I'll put you in contact with them!

Re: [videoblogging] Feedburner is over, but

[David King]

Mine's having problems. Looks like someone has set up a spam account on the
new google version of feedburner for davidleeking. I have emailed google
twice - I'm guessing they are dealing with lots of emails about feedburner
issues.

I'm guessing it'll sort itself out eventually (and in the meantime, I'll
keep pestering them).

Re: [videoblogging] Screen capture software?

[David King]

Jing still has a free version - the pro version DOES cost, but gives you
more options... most usefully, an mpeg-4 H264 video option that can be
edited all the usual ways, instead of just a flash movie. And you can get
rid of the Jing logos. All for $14.95 a year. Probably worth it!

Re: [videoblogging] Semanal: completed

[David King]

Hey, thanks Jay! Semanal was FUN. I honestly didn't think I'd be able to do
it, but I ended up actually making a video a week for a whole year. Amazing.

In the process, I learned more about my camera, more about FCE (especially
about aspect ratios), and some new shooting and editing techniques. What was
a slight mystery to me (ie., my tools) are no longer that, but just tools.
Which allows me to focus more on the story and the moment (well, with my
videos, there's not always much story, but you get the idea).

So - cool idea!

Re: [videoblogging] What's in your kit?

Thanks for sharing - I actually got some good ideas out of that. Certainly
confirmed that those cheap construction lights would actually work ok for
lighting (I was thinking about getting some).

I wouldn't have much to show, really - just a Xacti and a Flip, basically!
No kit... Mics and soundboard for music recording ... hmm... maybe I have
something to show after all... :-)

Re: [videoblogging] A Youtube to Blip Transaction

[David King]

Well, numbers-wise, if someone wants to "make it big" with videoblogging,
they start out on youtube (ie., "Fred").

I can vouch for that - my videos don't approach "bigness" in any sense of
the word (and that's not my focus, either), but a couple of my videos have
been viewed 20-40,000 times in youtube vs 1-2000 times with blip. Blip,
becuase they discovered the video via my blog, and youtube because they
found the video in youtube.

Blip rocks - but youtube serves a god purpose, too.

Re: [videoblogging] wordpress internal server error - wtf?!

[David King]

Some other possibly obvious stuff -

- is your domain/web hoster paid up?
- did you check with your hoster? It could be a server problem that has
nothing to do with your site/wordpress setup.

Re: [videoblogging] BlipTV videos not playing (anyone else see this?)

[David King]

I noticed a similar but different problem. This morning at the MeFeedia
vlomo08 site/channel, I was watching some of the video - some blip-based
videos, like Ryanne's "I Voted" video, wouldn't play - it just acted like it
was infinitely loading. But when I visited her site, the video played fine.

Not sure if this is related or not...

Re: [videoblogging] This is kind of kick ass

[David King]

I don't think it's all that hard - cool idea! Look at the source code - they
embedded the video (yes, embedded the embed) in a marquee tag, which is an
html tag that, well, moves stuff.

How fun!

[videoblogging] My Xacti is dying

[David King]

Anyone with a Sanyo Xacti experienced this - when I open it up/turn it on,
it takes a longer-than-usual time for the screen to turn on, and then none
of the buttons work - the zoom doesn't do anything (even though the bar at
the bottom of the screen moves), the HD button does nothing, etc. Then,
after about 2 minutes, it kicks in and starts working.

Is it on it's last legs, or is there some type of reset I need to do -
anyone know? Any help is appreciated!

And of course, this stinks since I'm in Spain right now and WANTED to take
some good video. I might have to just do video with my camera - which will
work fine, but still...

thanks!

It was more than "want" - I think it's a law - any "official" content coming

And the org gets a whole year to be associated with music.

Then next year, they're all set up for publicizing via video.

YOu said: "And they had demands. They wanted me to make videos like my old
videos. They wanted me to make videos like my new videos. They were
saying I had lost it... I felt burned out and I stopped making videos."

I think that's the problem. What do you want to do? Make money? Then by all
means, try appeasing the masses and make the videos THEY want you to make.

Or are you making videos because it's your hobby/your art/your
punk-rock-statement? Then you are making videos for YOU. IF others watch,
well then - that's dandy. But the enjoyment is in the MAKING - not in the
money.

And that's my goal - to have fun (which I am).

You'd be transferring the video to a PC for editing, so I'd guess you'd just
archive to an external hard drive.

I did another test (haven't published it anywhere). This time, I did
everything I mentioned below, but did NOT check the letterbox box. After
exporting, the mp4 video is stretched, and has the black letterbox lines top
and bottom.

Is 640x360 not a standard size or something?

Re: [videoblogging] Re: 16:9 video question

[David King]

ok... I used the Sanyo Xacti HD1A. The source video was 1280X720, 30 fps mp4
video. I edited in FCE, then chose export using quicktime compression, and
did this:

- under format, chose mpeg-4 and clicked options
- chose mp4 under file format
- chose h.264 under video format
- did the 640x480 image size (chose custom)
- clicked the preserve aspect ratio using letterbox checkbox

My ultimate goal is to get the video onto my blog and my iphone.

Am I doing this right?

[videoblogging] 16:9 video question

[David King]

I do 16:9 video just enough to get confused every time :-)

So - this video - http://davidleeking.com/etc/2008/07/09/snakes/ - is
compressed using mpeg4, h264, and I used a 640X360 aspect ratio and checked
the letterbox dealie in quicktime pro.

My video has the black letterbox thing all around it - not just on the top
and bottom like I usually see. My question - what did I do? Should I have
made that aspect ratio a little bigger/smaller?

Any advice rocks!

Re: [videoblogging] Hey!Spread - TubeMogul - Blip - Social Poster - RSS

[David King]

In my uninformed opinion, they're two very different things. At least for
me, they are. I host my videos on Blip (plus do a little distribution). I
upload to Tubemogul - which lets me send the videos to blip and youtube at
the same time.
I haven't yet decided if that's really saving me any time - I still have to
get into blip to change the video's copyright to a cc license and then send
the videos to delicious, twitter, and my blog. So maybe I should just do a
second upload to youtube and skip tubemogul? Not sure... but that's what
I've been playing with for awhile, anyway :-)

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Recommendations for a small camera (Xacti or other) to shoot in India

[David King]

Neato.

I like the sound - it's got a great little internal mic. This video is a
good example - it's picking up the birds in the background (
http://davidleeking.com/etc/2008/06/13/walking-in-phoenix/) pretty well. It
gets overpowered pretty easily, so if something's loud, it WILL distort -
there's no volume knob. The HD1A (I'm guessing the HD2 or whatever the new
models' called, too) has an external mic jack, which gives a little more
control.

No, I've not heard the motor noise when zooming (though it might very well
be there - I just haven't noticed it).

Yes - we SHOULD put this stuff int he wiki - good idea!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Recommendations for a small camera (Xacti or other) to shoot in India

[David King]

Let's see... I usually shoot at 640X480, but sometimes choose one of the HD
settings. I have a newer Mac Book Pro (about a year old).

To get the thing on my mac, I usually put the SD card into a usb card
reader, and upload all the pics and video files together into iPhoto, then
drag the videos out that I want to use and delete the rest. I'm able to
drag/drop the video file from a folder right into the bin in FCE.

It's FCE 4.0, and it's OSX Leopard (I update it regularly).

Hope that helps!

Rupert... I use a Xacti HD1A and the newest version of FCE, and have no

Re: [videoblogging] I'm new to Video Blogging and in Search for a Converter, FFMPEG

[David King]

Another way to do this would be to purchase Quicktime Pro ($30) - it will
allow you to reformat the mov file into a dv-avi file, which you can then
edit in Windows Movie Maker. And then when you have your final video ready,
you reformat again in Quicktime Pro.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Looking for comments on Canon GL-2

[David King]

We have a GL2 at work that plugs up to an iMac with FCE and iMovie 08 on it
- we had a Lacie external firewire drive plugged in too, and the GL2 / Mac
wasn't able to capture video footage. But with some serious googling of that
problem, we discovered that we had to unplug the external drive - THEN
everything worked great. It had something to do specifically with the GL2
and Lacie drives, apparently.

FYI (it IS a great camera!)

Re: [videoblogging] Re: encoding 16:9 for iPod on PC

[David King]

Bill - does that size make it back through itunes onto an ipod? I thought
ipod compatible videos had a smaller kbps cap, like around 6-700?

Re: [videoblogging] Comment plug-in?

[David King]

Uhm... you need to build a database-driven backend to your website. The
database needs lots of juicy fields for the comments, the commenter, URL,
etc. And then you have to make it dynamically work. This stuff isn't
something that Dreamweaver can do (just mentioning this because you might or
might not know this stuff - not sure).

Or, you can use blogging software like wordpress or blogger (there are a
host of other tools)... CMS's are another, similar way to go.

The comment thing sounds simple - but it's really quite complicated...

Just sayin!
