Re: [videoblogging] NBC/Universal changed its name

Sony does not own Universal; Vivendi used to before they sold it to

A lot of people like Sony Vegas and they have a "lite" version that's
well spoken of.  Not sure if it's under $100 but it's in that range. 
I don't have expereince with Vegas personally, but again, it's highly

Yes and no.  If it's obvious that was your intent, a judge can pierce

Re: [videoblogging] Re: AVID parties

2005-12-07 Thread Michael Ridley



I'm not sure what that means..the only AVID tools I have experinece with are the Xpress line which, while more expensive than FInal Cut Pro or Premiere, are not the systems you were looking at.  But on the low end you can get an AVID setup that competes with Final Cut Pro and is the same version as the PC based edition.
I'm not personally familiar with the Symophony/Media Composer/Unity level of products, but as has been pointed out here they were originally developed exclusively for Mac and only much later came to Windows.  While I suspect that FCP has stolen some of their thunder at the low end on Macs, as far as I know you can still buy all of their products for either platform.
Of course- another point to make is that AVID has various products and product lines for various markets.  While some film stuff has been moving to FCP, I'm not at all sure that FCP is popular in the realtime/news arena.  As far as I know, Apple has no products that compete with the AVID workflow and clip archiving products for news production.

In fact, it's just the opposite.

Curry is exploring new ways to add even greater textual information and

podcast topics.

For his recent show, you have the blog entry:

#292 Daily Source Code for Tuesday December 6th 2005

Which allows comments AND you have a link to Shownotes:

This show's notes are here:

A wiki based page for listeners to annotate the show notes...

Very cool.

The show isn't just finished when it is sent out on the RSS feed, it

Re: [videoblogging] Rec. Host Provider??

2005-12-06 Thread Michael Ridley



Yeah I'm a happy Dreamhost customer but I've never completely understood the referal bonus thing.  I know I can make coupon codes that theoretically give you a discount, and I know that I then get a kickback as well from Dreamhost, but the way that actually works has always eluded me so I have no idea if it's a good deal.
Although, frankly, even without any discounts, Dreamhost is cheap and the service is good.  I mean, shared hosting will never be the same as a dedicated redundant infrastructure, but for $10/month...you get what you pay for (and with Dreamhost you get more than you pay for, in my opinion).
If you do signup with Dreamhost, feel free to use my promo code MRIDLEYPROMO - I think that's supposed to give you a discount, but if it doesn't then I guess don't use it :-)  I set it up a while ago for someone I knew who was going to sign up but then they ended up donig something else for their hosting (I forget what) so I'm pretty sure I've never actually used it to see if it works.  But I highly doubt it will raise your bills :) so I figure it's safe to mention.

It would be cool if there were some metadata format to have timecoded
shownotes associated with vidcasts so that you could keep track of
their content on a "post by post" basis and just get the clips you

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Porn Shmorn. Grow up! There's real life going on.

2005-12-02 Thread Michael Ridley



Of course it will.  In the same way that the kids section of Blockbuster interests parents.  There seems to be this view in our culture lately that kids are like little grownups and they just go and do whatever they want and so society has to protect them.  That perspective is...not even wrong..it's just non-sensical.  Parents make the rules.  Parents enforce the limits.
If there is a kids section of a web site, then presumably that's what the parents would sit down and look at with their children.  Just like parents will steer their children to the kids section of the video store.  It's not like parents just let their young children loose out in the world and let them wander around XXX movie theatres all day long.  Perhaps some parents DO do that, but that's not my problem - that's their problem for being bad parents.  And I'm pretty sure that if you have a 4 year old wandering around the red light district trying to get into peep shows, having a law requiring the establishment to card them and not let them in is probably not going to put that kid back on the "right path" and keep them from car jacking me in 10 years.  They're probably well on that path already due to very poor parenting.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Porn Shmorn. Grow up! There's real life going on.

2005-12-02 Thread Michael Ridley
Perhaps. I'd argue that that decision is up to their parents.  I first
got online in 1992 or so, and I guess I would have been about 12 or 13
at the time.  My parents didn't choose to be involved in what I was or
was not looking at, content-wise.  Granted you could say that in 1992
there wasn't much general awareness of the "dangers" of being online,
but my dad was savvy enough to know what was up..he just didn't feel
the need to make an issue of it, because he felt I had the common
sense to make appropriate choices.

But who knows, for some other parents, sure maybe they want to filter
that out.  But the point is, the onus is on the consumer (parent) not
on the content provider.  As the saying goes, if you don't like it,
don't watch it.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Porn Shmorn. Grow up! There's real life going on.

2005-12-02 Thread Michael Ridley



Well I certainly agree that people should be allowed to put whatever content they so choose on their web site, filtered or not.  My issue is with this spreading conventional wisdom that seems to state that we all have some inherent, deep, and fundamental responsiblity to sanitize what we can and firewall what we can't in abject terror of the remote possibility that some small child might stumble upon it.
Certainly if some private directory or archive chooses not to include pornographic material (or any other kind) that is their perogative.  But this sense that if one chooses not to do so they are in some way morally inferior is itself repugnant to me.
And again the question of whether or not it's wise to conduct said parental filtering of the world for children is a whole other topic of discussion.  And a can of worms probably best unopened.  While I would agree that showing a 4-year-old Full Metal Jacket is on the gratuitous side, I think you equally do a disservice to one's (older) children by trying to shield them too much.  After all, this world is a horrible, mean, petty, shallow, and opportunistic place that will chew you up, shred you, and spit you back out again for round two if you let down your guard.  It's all well and good that we try to create a haven in our home that's as sheltered from that cruel reality as we can.  But raising a kid in a cocoon and then thrusting them out, helpless and unprepared, to be bled dry by the world once they graduate from school doesn't seem like such a wise choice.

that's their choice as much as it's yours to do nothing to filter.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: my video got taken off archive

2005-11-30 Thread Michael Ridley



I'm not an IP attorney but I wonder if using Barbie dolls in stop motion is really a trademark infringement...I would think not.  Especially in light of the MCA case, but even more generally...I'm not at all sure that that would be infringing.  I have a pretty good understanding of US copyright law, but I guess my trademark knowledge is a little spotty in this area.  I'd be interested to hear from anyone who does have an IP law background.
In any case, including a Peaches track would be a non-starter (from a copyright distribution perspective).-mOn 12/1/05, Lucas Gonze <
[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:



There are three issues --

That Peaches number is definitely unauthorized.
The sexual content is going to piss some people off.
Barbie is a fiercely protected trademark.

The Peaches issue is a good enough reason to bounce it, add in the
other two issues and it's an obvious choice.

Re: [videoblogging] my video got taken off archive

2005-11-30 Thread Michael Ridley
OK, since you brought it up - it must be saidthe best US Appelate
Court opinion ever - Mattel, Inc vs. MCA Records, Inc. for trademark
infringement on their "Barbie" mark and the counterclaim by MCA for
defmation...in the US 9th Circuit...in the opinion of the court, Judge
Kozinski writes...

"If this were a sci-fi melodrama, it might be called Speech-Zilla
meets Trademark Kong."

then insert about 30 pages of legal opinion and..in conclusion...

"MCA filed a counterclaim for defamation based on the
Mattel representative's use of the words "bank robber,"
"heist," "crime" and "theft." But all of these are variants of
the invective most often hurled at accused infringers, namely
"piracy." No one hearing this accusation understands intellec-
tual property owners to be saying that infringers are nautical
cutthroats with eyepatches and peg legs who board galleons
to plunder cargo. In context, all these terms are nonactionable
"rhetorical hyperbole," Gilbrook v. City of Westminster, 177
F.3d 839, 863 (9th Cir. 1999). The parties are advised to chill.

AFFIRMED."

Best...opinion...ev-ar!

DV-L is here http://groups.google.com/group/DV-L - it's a Google Group
(although I subscribe to the mailing list) for DV (digital
video/camcorder) stuff.  But a lot of the people on the mailing
list are professionals, so it's a pretty good source of info.  Of
course most of these people are making documentaries and

Re: [videoblogging] Free, private blog?

Livejournal should work, but I suspect that might be blocked as well.

I want something easy to set up and free a la blogger. Also, I'd like
it to be able to handle around 50 people logging into it at once with
the same login.

Thanks!

Re: [videoblogging] Compression techniques - file size ratios

2005-11-10 Thread Michael Ridley



I'm not sure about your compression figuers, but QT7 is now available
for Windows.  Also vlc (http://www.videolan.org) has experimental
support for H.264 although I guess that's not really ready for prime
time by definition.

-mOn 11/9/05, Will <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:




After numerous attempts of trying different compression settings an codecs - I ended up 
with a with a 19.8 mb file that was 5 minutes long.  This works out to about 4mb/minute.  I 
was wondering if this is a common size for a file this long? Is there any stats out there on 
what kind of compression ratios vodcasters are using?

My final version was compressed using 3ivx - dual pass.  I had orginally had the size down to 
11 mb using h.264 with the same quality but I discovered that only QT 7 could play this - 
which ruled out a lot users.

BTW - any windows users that couldn't see the inaugural version of tiny tube because of the 
QT7 can now view it.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: YouTube - WTF?

2005-11-09 Thread Michael Ridley



Speaking of Sorenson Squeeze there's also Discreet Cleaner and Cleaner
XL.  Actually I guess it's Autodesk Cleaner now since the
acquistion but whatever.  I'm not sure what Cleaner costs -
Cleaner XL is a bit more expensive than $99.  But just pointing it
out as another industry standard compression and media conversion tool.

And for MPEG there's TMPGEnc which has gotten quite good reviews over
on DV-L although it's known for being a bit fussy/verbose as far as the
options and settings it offers.  But then again if you're anal
about compression then that's a good thing, right?

Sorenson Squeeze does it very nicely and easily, costs $99. You can
choose your bitrate, and independently set audio bitrate and window
size. I change the settings depending on what's in the video (and how
important the audio is) to optimize filesize while trying not to
compromise the viewer experience.

Eh, I dunno if it's really a mirror - it looks like just a script that
