[videoblogging] Re: Kodak Zi8 for blogging?
I don't know if this will help the Kodak Zi8 debate. This is a test video of the Kodak Zi8 after I installed the latest 1.05 firmware update. Prior to the firmware update it was unusable: Kodak Zi8 with 1.05 firmware loaded: http://www.ernmander.com/2009/10/22/kodak-zi8-test/ This is a sample of the Zi6: http://www.ernmander.com/2009/09/30/why-i-vlog/ Mind you both vids have been through the YouTube grinder :) But I will say the Zi8 does not do 1080p well at all, it's very grainy. I hope this helps.

Lots of videobloggers use them. Not all Xacti models are great, though - so choose carefully. Any recommendations from anybody else as to which model is best? Ernmander was tweeting recently about how his Zi8 was shooting lower quality video than his Zi6 - even in 720. Perhaps they're cramming too much into it, to get 720. Might be worth checking out the Zi6 instead. Personally, I think not being able to see yourself while shooting is a good thing. It's distracting, and you quickly learn an instinct for where your face is in the frame and can focus on talking directly to the lens. Re: getting VHS quality on Blip. Blip's flash conversion can be *very* ropey. Their players play H264 mp4 files - so create a custom Show Player with .m4v playback turned on in the settings, and you'll see your file just as you intended.

I got one hoping that the ease of it would encourage me to do more video content for my site without the laborious method I've been using slowing me down. My content is rather static as well, so I just need to find away to get the quality where I think it should be, and I'll be a happy guy. My main driver for a new cam is to have SD card support so I can shorten my current annoying DV-firewire-upload cycle. So I either go with a traditional SD card camcorder, or one of these pocket ones. Considering I don't need any form of optical zoom for video blogging, regular camcorders seem a bit overkill. The cheapest SD card camcorder with external mic is the canon FS200 at AU$400+ and it has a tiny 1/6th sensor which is reportably horrible in low light. The Zi8 on the other hand has a much bigger 1/2.3 sensor, HD, macro and external mic for around $250. Lack of a swivel screen seems the only downside. Seems like a no-brainer decision at this point... I love that the camera uses swappable cards, and the macro mode is a real welcome feature for product reviews. I do a heap of product reviews where I rip products apart and shot inside them, so this feature is really compelling for me. I guess the main change I would want (and this is just personal preference) is if it used regular batteries rather than a proprietary power pack. The cards are so voluminous now, I run out of juice way before I run out of shooting space. It would be nice to be able to swap out a couple rechargeables when thins get dim. Yeah, AA's would be nice. But you can always buy a spare battery and a separate charger I guess. Thanks Dave. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[videoblogging] Re: NaVloPoMo 2009
What a fabulous idea. Real great idea. Sounds like huge fun http://www.ernmander.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Rupert Howe rup...@... wrote: It's that time of year again. I've reverted to calling it NaVloPoMo because after all the umming and ahhing about names and last year, we came up with VloMo, which just didn't have the same ring to it. Given all the things going on in my life, there's absolutely no way on God's Earth that I'm going to be able to make a video every day in November. And I know a lot of you will feel the same. Which got me thinking about ways to make it work. Of course, if you want to go ahead and do one video a day every day in November, that's GREAT. But in addition, I thought maybe instead of 30 people all trying to make 30 videos, we could collaborate - 30 videobloggers each making just one video. Some of the best stuff that came out of the first Navlopomo in 2007 was when people started responding to and remixing each others' videos. So... How about this? You choose a day in November - and on that day, you have to make a video inspired in some way by the previous day's video. A big linear game of videoblogging Consequences. What do you think? Are there 30 people out there who are up for this? If you're up for it, reply here. Rupert http://twittervlog.tv

hehe mmm bra, erm sorry. Thank you Rupert for the very kind welcome. i must head off and check blips auto blog feature. I am trying to get a way of posting vids direct to my blog without having to open Wordpress and do the embed thing. Hence I changed the blog template, it is now minimalist so the content is the focus and not the blog template (as was the case up until yesterday) :) I also use Twitterfeed to notify Twitter of new blog posts. I am going to do some testing today and see if the WordPress app will let me upload vids direct from iPhone 3GS into posts. If it can my blog will be a true mobile almost live living thing.

i finally found the autopost feature.

You need to click Distribution in the list of links in the Footer, not in the main navigation bar (the distribution link there takes you to somewhere where you can't change any settings). Then click External Blogs in the links on the left hand side - set up your Wordpress blog there. Then click Autocrosspost, directly below External Blogs in the left hand sidebar - set it up. Then when you post to Blip from Pixelpipe, your video will autocrosspost to your blog. Rupert http://twittervlog.tv On 2-Oct-09, at 9:58 AM, ernmander wrote: hehe mmm bra, erm sorry.
