Ah... that's a big "duh" on me.  That's the one video of yours that 
I was going to watch tomorrow.  All the rest I checked already, and I've 
got to say that we're very fortunate that you took the time to create 
such a thorough resource.  The "free" angle is especially good too.  :)

The weird thing for me is that I'm creating content on a different 
machine than the one that's online.  All of my editing gear and apps are 
on a Win2000 machine, and I'm sure that I don't have all these snazzy 
new codecs installed  I'm not even sure whether they'd even work on the 
editing machine (it's a little finicky sometimes).

I'll be giving this a spin tomorrow and hopefully it won't blow up 
in my face, or take 15 hours to render...  Ah yes, the old days.  :)
   
Thanks again!

That's the impression I'm getting.  Again, I mean no disrespect at 
all to Archive.org.  I love what it is that they're doing, and it's an 
almost impossible task.

Excellent news.  I will look into that some more.  I also notice 
that they are hosting the blog themselves as well.  Is there any benefit 
to doing that rather than having a Blogger account linking to blip.tv?  
Is it just that since Blogger is rather popular you have more chance of 
someone stumbling across your vlog that way?

Thanks for your zippy answer, Robert!

Hi Bohus

I've found the IA slowness problem a major deterrent to watching vids 
posted there. I know Brewster Kahle and company are getting it sorted, 
but for now I'm viewing literally no downloads from there.

Regarding blip.tv I've got to say they have the best of the lot, the 
guys seem very responsive. And they have this cross-posting scheme 
which makes it easy to upload to multiple services, they get the 
work-flow concept and are ahead of the pack on that front. Try the 
email test, ask a question see how long it takes for blip.tv to reply.


cheers

[videoblogging] About 24 hours away from my first video blog

2005-08-30 Thread Bohus Blahut

Hiya everybody,

My plan is to roll out my video blog on September 1st, so I've got 
about a day left to get things all sorted out.  It'll be less about me 
personally, and more about my love of old home movies.  In this video 
blogging climate of personal expression, it's really interesting to see 
these first steps in people taking control of visual media... but I digress.

The production of the actual video is not a problem for me as that's 
what I do for a living.  I've gone through the tutorials at freevlog.org 
and am so grateful for such a terrific resource.  Here are my remaining 
questions:

Is there a list somewhere of people's preferred compression 
codecs/video sizes?  I'd like to make my vlog very available, and I like 
what Rocketboom is doing offering multiple formats for download.  I'd 
love to see what the most requested filetypes are for vlogs.

I need to do this using the free services that are out there right 
now.  While the video tutorials discuss using archive.org and ourmedia, 
I've seen a number of posts with regards to their reliability.  While I 
appreciate their being free (archive.org is an epoch-making resource), I 
would like to have a reliable place to host my work.  Is blip.tv more 
reliable?  are there any down sides to not using ourmedia specifically?

Thanks for any help you can offer me.  I'm sure that there will be 
teething pains for my video blog, but am glad to be finally getting 
something together.  Thanks!
