[videoblogging] Potential Opportunity for Podcasters and Video Bloggers with Tivo
I was listening to the audio presentation Tivo CEO Tom Rogers gave at
DEMXPO and someone asked the question about third party content
providers trying to get stuff on a Tivo (and then on to a television).
Tom's answer:
* in opening up to third parties, Tivo was looking for ways to build
community.
* Rogers believes that broadband will play a big role in Tivo future and
that 25% of Tivo users already have their machines hooked up to a high
speed connection with no encouragement from the company. He seemed to
be impressed by the number.
* Tivo believes it can be a distributor/aggregator of content for the
television, in a legal way of course.
Toss in the news about Yahoo users being able to view their photo's (I'm
assuming this is Flickr) on a Tivo and it's starting to look like Tivo
is becoming the ultimate media outlet. Conceivably, individual
podcasters and video bloggers could get in on the action pretty soon. It
wouldn't take that much to make it happen.
If you want to hear Tom's answer in his own words, you can download the
audio file (it's a time index 45:14):

If you want a quickie summary of his presentation, I text blogged it

Most of the programming will come in other areas.

[videoblogging] blinkx.tv?
Has anyone seen this (sorry if I missed it before -- been trying to keep up on other fronts): *blinkx Announced Launch of my blinkx.tv* "blinkx announced the launch of my blinkx.tv -- a new service available through its unrivalled video search engine, http://www.blinkx.tv. At my blinkx.tv, users can upload and store their video blogs free of charge; they can also enter a search and save it as a "channel", which will be automatically and perpetually updated with relevant footage. This personal "channel" can then be viewed as a single, uninterrupted media stream, either online, or when downloaded to their desktops or portable video player. In this way, blinkx is empowering Internet users to customize not only what video content they receive, but also how and when they view it." http://www.tvover.net/blinkx+Announced+Launch+Of+My+Blinkxtv+.aspx I was under the assumption that Blinkx.tv was already up and running.

Most likely, any web-based aggregators will go with Flash for video. On the other hand, Java's penatration rate within browsers is unknown and probably inconsistent in terms of versioning.

Re: [videoblogging] java viewer?!
I can't recall having that kind of problem with Quicktime. Most of my recent projects that involved Quicktime/SMIL/Firefox on Windows have done fine. Sometimes better than the results on the Mac. Like you, I work with Java a lot and have done a bunch of JMF work. I've also done some Quicktime For Java work as well. I'd be interested in seeing Quicktime's installation share (web, stand alone) increase in order to use QTJ a lot more (very robust API, now that Apple has bothered to actually fix it). Flash is what it is. Currently ubiquitous as far as browsers so it's not going anywhere. However, I'd love to see what AJAX does on the web front. I can imagine doing some cool stuff without the need for Flash. And if I need media within AJAX, it would seem to be easier to use a standard plug-in (Real, QT, WM) with _javascript_ integration than Flash. I've talked with other developers about this before but haven't seen much yet (and I haven't had the time either). -- Michael Shipp * Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Blog: digitalmerging - Tech. Media. Convergence. http://www.digitalmerging.la Digital Pictures: Pixel Latte http://www.digitalmerging.net/pixellatte/ Michael Sullivan wrote: One thing I have noticed when working on windows machines that needs quicktime... and using firefox. After QT is installed, firefox tends to have problems playing some QT media and wants to download updates but usually fails. This has happened to be on about 4 or 5 diff puters over past several months. Annoying as hell. Even QT7 install failed to help. But I totally depend on Quicktime compatible media, both as a creator and as web developer. vlogdir.com can handle most media formats (within the media aggregator) but some features like the videoblog playlists require quicktime (uses quicktime SMIL) On the Java side, i used to work with java alot years back (JMF), then stayed away from it for a while. I am now once again interested in using Java and have done so by integrating an XML based Download Manager in vlogdir. It takes an rss feed, grabs the media enclosures and adds them to a download queue that lets the user choose where to download to... and displays status w/ progress bars. Totally experimental, but I think its pretty cool. Borrows from what you get in desktop apps like fireant and itunes, minus the automation/scheduling options. Flash is something I have always used sparingly within a site design... never a true believer in a fully flash based interface though. I have also shit on the idea of using flash video in the past.. primarily because of it's lack of ease for remixing video. But, I cannot deny it's relevance for Internet Video and the quality has been improving nicely. I also think it is very useful as a web based video preview/playback option and sites like vSocial have done an excellent job with tools their like video rolls. So, I will be utilizing more Flash than I ever thought I would months prior. sull SPONSORED LINKS Individual Fireant Use YAHOO! GROUPS LINKS Visit your group "videoblogging" on the web.
