[videoblogging] how to repair out of sync .mp4 files

2008-12-03 Thread scoobyfox
I just ripped and output (with Handbrake) a DVD from a show I did into an mp4 
file.

The audio is lagging a second or 2 behind the video. 


Is the only way to repair this to split the track in imovie and then manually 
try to re-align 
them?

Is this a known problem outputting with handbrake?

Appreciate any insight or help.

thanks,
heather

This is wonderful news. It's kinda been surreal to watch intelligent things 
from Obama's 
actual answering of questions (in complete sentences no less!) at his first 
press conference 
to this!

  Has the Internet been saved?
 
 When Stephen Schultze http://managingmiracles.blogspot.com/ stopped me in
 the hallway and told me that Susan Crawford http://scrawford.net/blog/ had
 been appointed head of Obama's FCC transition team, I thought I was being
 punk'd. It was too good to be true.
 
 So, Stephen and I went to an open computer and Googled. Yup. But the news
 was actually even better: Kevin Werbach http://werblog.com/ has been
 appointed as co-lead.
 
 I was giddy with joy, for two reasons.
 
 First, it just might mean that the Internet has been saved.
 
 There are many threats to the Net, and there always will be. But one is
 particularly nasty and urgent. The business model of the incumbent carriers
 in the US — primarily telephone and cable companies — focuses not on simply
 providing us with as many bits as we want, but rather on getting us to buy
 content and services from them. This makes it too tempting to them to tilt
 the market toward their offerings, and to optimize the system for the sort
 of content they provide (e.g., high def Hollywood movies), which means
 de-optimizing it for other types of content (e.g., YouTubes). This problem
 is exacerbated by the lack of a truly open, truly competitive market.
 
 Susan and Kevin come at these issues not as representatives of the incumbent
 industries but as Internet folks. They are, I believe, deeply committed to
 the spread of the open Internet. But, they are not ideologues. They are
 capable of listening, finding what's of value and what matters in views with
 which they disagree, and moderating their views. They are informed,
 intelligent, reasonable, and sweet. You come out of a disagreement with them
 feeling better about us all.
 
 Which brings me to the second reason I am so happy about their appointment.
 Imagine a government that values the qualities Susan and Kevin embody.
 Imagine a government that doesn't go for the lazy, safe wedge issues that
 divide us, but actually tries to find ways we can move forward together.
 Imagine a government that thinks not first about winning the argument but
 about how we can live together afterwards. Imagine a government that assumes
 our better natures.
 
 No need to imagine such a government. We just elected one.

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

2008-06-11 Thread scoobyfox
Hey all,

I'm heading to India for my honeymoon and the entire summer and plan to vlog 
and do some 
interviews from there.
I *do not* plan to bring my macbook.  I just want to bring a firewire or usb 
cable and upload 
at cafes.

It needs to be small, light and easy to travel with and have decent sound.

Recommendations?

(and it you know of any simple web-based editing tools, let me know!)

[videoblogging] Are women less willing to speak their minds?

2008-04-11 Thread scoobyfox
A question started by Lindsay Campbell on moblogic.tv after she had a
hard time finding willing chicks for her person on the street
interviews.

Here are my thoughts about it:

http://subvert.com/blog/2008/04/11/are-women-less-willing-to-speak-their-minds/

I do wonder about the many many fewer chick vloggers. I know that I
get a lot more personal emails from my blog readers and vlog watchers
than comments.

What do you think?

I'd certainly like to see public conversation be less chock full o' nuts.

[videoblogging] tricks for jacking up audio / boosting sound for editing in imovie 06?

2007-11-09 Thread scoobyfox
I've already raised the sound bar as far as i can. I recorded some
clips on a Canon SD700 Elph. Sound is not nearly as god as on a Xacti.

Anyone have any sound boosting options?

You tube is asking me for a, API key which I simply cannot find on my
