Thanks, --Steve It's true. blip.tv will never start charging for what has already been uploaded! When we go down the "pro accounts" road, the threshold will be on the amount of content uploaded per month, and not on the amount already sitting on our servers. YAHOO!

This has to be one of the oddest messages I have ever seen. I try to go to the site and I get this message: Can't create a new thread (errno 11); if you are not out of available memory, you can consult the manual for a possible OS- dependent bug Every other site I visit is fine. Anyone ever seen this before? many of you may have noticed that Ourmedia has been slow/down too often the past several weeks. here's why. OM sends all our work to the Internet Archivewhere they take care of the storing and serving our video. BUT ourmedia still must maintain a server to handle all the requests to the website. it is now overloaded for the most part.

Re: [videoblogging] Ourmedia status (was: Weird OurMedia.org error message:)
I have been vlogging for about 4 months now and used a PC for the first 3 or so, and I've used .mov from the beginning. One thing that helped me a lot was the $30 for quick time pro where I could compress according to the specifications at freevlog and it worked quite well. (I'd edit in something like premier, make a giant .avi file, and compress it with qt pro). I haven't had any problems playing .mov on the PC, except with a few people who were using that new codec that wasn't available in the PC version, but most didn't do that; and it's available on the new PC version anyway. The only other issue I've had (and still have) is that PC users (e.g., family members) can't get my videos to play, probably because they don't want to download quicktime.This actually would be a bigger issue if there were zillions of people downloading my videos (which there aren't :), but will be an issue for really popular sites in that many non-technologically savvy people, don't really understand the whole download plug in thing, so they won't be able to play .mov files. ...
