Great resources.

As the big networks and video web sites continue to develop better viewing 
experiences, I hope that we'll be able to implement similar solutions.

Thinking about the casual user that doesn't want to code, I'd love to see video 
sites provide similar playlist players.

Thanks again.

 their are also other web services that focus on this.
 
 this is for people who dont use blip or want to try other alternatives to

You don't have to be a casual user...
The whole reason I started to play around with the blip stuff was
because I'm sick of spending so much time messing with all the
roll-your-own solutions. It's a complete pain in the ass and the end
result is not worth it anymore for me. Blip.tv features have come a
long way. I'd rather spend more time making work than doing make-work.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Blip Show Player and Archive Pages

2009-09-18 Thread Chad Boeninger
The blip playlist and player is very cool. I've been using blip for about a
year now, and have only just begun to take advantage of the playlists and
embeddable full show players.  This has allowed me to keep all my content in
one place in one account on blip, but to distribute it in playlists to
different players for  different viewers.

As an example, my videoblog show player only highlights videos from my video
blog http://libraryvoice.com/videos/show-player/

I have a separate blog for my interest in cycling, so I have a separate
playlist for videos of bike rides.  http://redneckinspandex.com/ride-videos/

Finally, as a business librarian for a university, I've just started
creating specific playlists for business, company, and industry research.  I
had initially thought I would create an entirely separate blip account for
this purpose, but multiple accounts seemed a little too hard to manage.
Here's the business videos
http://www.library.ohiou.edu/subjects/bizwiki/index.php/Biz_Research_Basics_Videos.

The only drawback for this method is that if someone goes to my show page on
blip, libraryvoice.blip.tv, they'll likely think I'm a bit schizophrenic.  I
doubt anyone is going to sit there on my blip page and watch all my videos
in chronological order, as my all-over-the-place interests don't necessarily
stick with a one common theme for an actual show.  However, if you simply
think of blip.tv as the repository for your content, the blip playlist and
embeddable show player truly allow you to put your content wherever and
however you want.  Very cool.

blip's stuff is obviously convenient and great.
but just a reminder that you can do this on your own with several free/cheap
flash video players and even with html5/javascript.
it would not take long to make a feed/playlist and add the same experience

[videoblogging] Re: Blip Show Player and Archive Pages

2009-09-16 Thread netgenceo
I have to add my vote for blip.tv as well. Although I'm new to video blogging I 
quickly tired of YouTube and started using vimeo for site embeds since they 
have the cleanest looking player and the hubnut is the best rendering for 
aggregating multiple videos on a site I've seen yet. Although when using 
vimeo's embed code for a single video it seems to have problems for people 
using IE7 and higher on an XP machine. This is what initially led me to blip.tv 
since their single video embeds use the embed/embed tags which IE seems to 
like much better. In addition their distribution system seem to work the best. 
Tried TubeMogul but it had issues pushing videos to vimeo. In fact I compared a 
direct upload to a vimeo pro account with a distribution push from blip.tv and 
the direct upload took 5 min. longer than blip.tv. So two thumbs up for 
blip.tv. Now just trying to find the best livestreaming solution. Using ustream 
now but quality is limited. Anybody tried livestream?

[videoblogging] Re: Blip feature request/is it already there?

2009-01-07 Thread miglsd27

  How do I turn off the thumbnails/suggestions in the end of my videos in
  Blip? How do I stop people from clicking to other videos in the end?
 
 If yo use the blip Show Player, then I think it automatically brings
 up the thumbnails at the end for the next videos.
 Someone else may know how to turn this off.
 I think you can also program it to just show vieos that you have made.
 
 But you can also just embed the single video itself.
 Use the Legacy player in the embed options on the right side of your
 blip page.
 This will just play the single video.

Jay you´re right about the legacy player but... (theres always a but somewhere) 
Blip is 
warning users that they will probably discontinue the legacy player. Also, I 
really like the 
showplayer, just don´t want the final thumbs to other videos. I double checked 
the show 
player settings and couldn´t find a way to do it. Vimeo supports this feature, 
but in theyr 
pro accounts only. And I´m a cheap bastard ;). Any thoughts? Also, why isn´t 
blip 
answering in the blip yahoo group?

Yes, true. Jay forwarded my qestions to blip tech support and they answered:

Hi there,

You can create a custom player that does not show the more button at the end.  
Follow 
these steps:

1.  Go to the player editor and create a new Single Episode player, make sure 
you name it 
something you'll recognize.
2.  Customize the player however you'd like.
3.  Go to the Advanced tab
4.  Use the blank boxes at the bottom of the page to enter showmorebutton in 
the first 
one, and false in the second.  (Don't include the quotes)
5.  Click the plus button
6.  Click Save Player

So I only had to change my show player, works perfect. The strange thing is I 
posted first 
in the blip yahho group and got no answer…

Miguel.


 You can use the Show Player to show single episodes.
 And you can customise the Show Players a huge amount via the Manage  
 Show Players link in the Dashboard.

You can create a custom player that does not show the more button at  
the end. Follow
these steps:

1. Go to the player editor and create a new Single Episode player,  
make sure you name it
something you'll recognize.
2. Customize the player however you'd like.
3. Go to the Advanced tab
4. Use the blank boxes at the bottom of the page to enter  
showmorebutton in the first
one, and false in the second. (Don't include the quotes)
5. Click the plus button
6. Click Save Player

So I only had to change my show player, works perfect. The strange  
thing is I posted first
in the blip yahho group and got no answer…

Miguel.

 
  You can use the Show Player to show single episodes.
  And you can customise the Show Players a huge amount via the Manage
  Show Players link in the Dashboard.

  But you can also just embed the single video itself.
  Use the Legacy player in the embed options on the right side of  
your
  blip page.
  This will just play the single video.

Hi there,

We haven't changed anything.  Either format will work.  The showname version 
will only 
return videos that match that show though.

Can you show me a sample of where your forum is messed up?  Email me back at

Thanks,

2008-11-10 Thread Mike Moon
Actually, I did notice a change lately.
Before... the FLV filename was the same as the original MOV filename
with just a different extension.
Now the FLV file has a different number associated with it.
This change took place around October 19th.

Before Example:
http://blip.tv/file/get/Moon-TheMakingOfAKiller210.flv
http://blip.tv/file/get/Moon-TheMakingOfAKiller210.mov

Now Example:
http://blip.tv/file/get/Moon-GoodDayThenWarBreaksOut987.flv
http://blip.tv/file/get/Moon-GoodDayThenWarBreaksOut276.mov

I was lucky I spotted it and I only had to go and re associate about 7
videos.

Hi Tim!

I know we're going to chat on Tuesday, but wanted to throw this out
into our forum to check out.

Our tech guys are working with this over the next few days to identify
 utility, quality, etc. But, this might be something that could work
for you. You're able to insert URL's and product information during

[videoblogging] Re: Blip Pro Account

2008-04-04 Thread Sheila English

Tim,

This is very interesting! 

One question-
Would you then open your shows up to other interested advertisers? 

As well as producing content, my company has an in-house ad agency and
we book media. I'm about to give VideoEgg a try, but I'm always open
to the new and untried.

Because my company specializes in book video, we not only have tapped
into a billion dollar industry, but we have a vast array of different
genres that could benefit by advertising over a variety of platforms.
I am, personally, finding that, little by little, our clients are
starting to open up to the idea of experimental advertising.

I could be very target specific if I could choose the exact content
I'd like my ads to play over, before, after, against...


Let me know how this works out for you! I wish you much success!

 I think Castfire has a great solution but until I know how much money

 I see that Moblogic is using Blip Pro as there FLASH player and they  
 have their own advertisers displaying pre and post rolls and the same

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Blip Pro Account

2008-04-04 Thread Tim Street
The whole idea here is for me to take control of my advertising  
inventory.  I'm still not sure if Blip Pro will work with the ad  
networks that have approached me or not but I'm going to give it a try.

Revver is a great service and they have been wonderful to me but when  
another advertising network comes to me with pre-rolls, mid-rolls,  
post-rolls or even jelly rolls I can't deliver those on my Revver  
videos if  the other Ad Network doesn't them on Revver.

To be fair to Revver,  I'm sure they would be happy to take any ads I  
sell and do a rev split with me and I just might try that as well but  
the main idea here is for me to have the control.

Right now if I want to do a pre-roll for T-shirts that French Maid TV  
is selling I have to edit those in. I want to be able to serve dynamic  
ads that I can change in the future. Then I want to figure out how to  
do dynamic integrated advertising - but that's a step 2 thing.

I'll contact you off list to chat about opportunities with your company.

Good call.  Even knowing that you said it was on the bottom of the

leading to a video.  Congrats on the kudos. :)

2007-03-06 Thread Bill Streeter
Thats been my experience. Print media doesn't really do a whole hell 
of a lot for traffic, and what it does bring doesn't last long. It 
does bring other benefits though. 

I had one minor bit of experience with mainstream radio, and 
television both brought small spikes in traffic.

I was interviewed for local television last week, this will be a 
longer form interview (for local news-thats 3 minutes). Which is due 
to be broadcast next week. It'll be interesting to see what kind of 
traffic that generates. 

I would expect that this kind of press would be better for Blip than 
the individual vlogger, since Blip is a business and a service that 
people who read the WSJ might be more interested in.

[videoblogging] Re: Blip / Alive in Baghdad / Josh Leo in the news

2007-03-06 Thread Steve Watkins
I became totally distracted whilst watching his video because his
beard seemed to be lopsided!

This reminds me that one reason I originalyl loved the concept of
vlogging is it can smash through the unreal world of mass media where
your face normally needs to fit, only beautiful people need apply etc.

Ahh just wait till more Birts get online, then see how the American
stereotype of Brits having bad teeth is, erm, re-enforced!

Anyway being from the UK and not particularily observant, Ive never
heard of Mossburg before but it seemed like an interesting article.
His focus on TV possibly confused what the term videoblog might mean,
ie there was no mention of blogging, and I felt he perhaps overstated
Apple's role in things a tad. I mean I guess iTunes helped Rocketboom
but Im sure it was already popular before then, and Id always like to
see alternative desktop aggregators mentioned (to be honest I thought
there'd be more of those by now!). Do sites/services generally have to
be pro-active to get a mention from the likes of Mossburg? Whilst the
focus on the TV show aspect of things means its maybe understandable
sites like Mefeedia dont get mentioned, but then again not everything
on blip is a show, h.

Cheers

Steve Elbows

2007-03-04 Thread mikehudack
Guys, sorry about that!  We had a problem in the overnight hours. 
I've posted about it to the blog:

http://blog.blip.tv/blog/2007/03/04/a-service-blip/

Basically, we had a problem with DNS.  It was an inconsistent problem,
and started becoming a problem in the middle of the night.  We've
fixed it and everything should be back to normal now.  We're changing
some settings to help prevent this same thing from happening in the
future, and we're also looking very seriously at the idea of
outsourcing our DNS operation as a whole to people who do nothing but DNS.

If you'd like to discuss this, yell at me, find out exactly what's
going on or learn what SOA stands for, give me a ring at
646-827-9773.  I'd be happy to listen or to talk, whatever you like.

Yours,

... or maybe your jan McLaughlin of Faux Press, and you have a Nokia
N70 and you're alread posting raw uncut video clips directly from your
phone to your vlog but they're nasty 3gp files that don't play...

:)

Now you'll be able to post video directly to from your mobile video
phone to your vlog and they'll appear as marvelous flash and mp4 (I
assume) videos... with nice beautiful intro's and outros of your
creating. All courtesy of blip.

Jan I hope you're in on the beta testing.

Oh... and on a side note.

Mike H, will this release allow for users to specify a title that will
be displayed on a generic title screen right after the intro and
before the meat of the post?

Hmm... that's two cool things I didn't know about blip.

1) pro services?  didn't know that you had them yet, I guess Ihaven't
been paying very good attention

2) transcoding for ipod compatible in addition to flash... that is
cool... but of course superceeded by the big news with the intro's and
outros which means transcoding is a given.  The question is what
format do you transcode too. Please tell me it's mp4 that is PSP and
iPod compatible.

 The short answer is you bet.  We actually released ipod transcoding a

 upload ipod-compatible videos and there was concern about duplication of
 effort and end-user confusion.  We're planning to bring the feature back
 for pro account holders very soon in such a way that you'll be able to
 request transcoding to an ipod-compatible format as part of the upload
 process.

 Yours,

 Mike

[videoblogging] Re: Blip JPEGs

2007-01-11 Thread Bill Cammack
Same thing happens to me using uploaded thumbnails I generated myself, both 
with 
upperblip and using the upload page.  You can see it in the RSS of EMS.

I generate thumbnails @ 480x360 and sometimes they come in that way and 
sometimes, 
they come in much smaller.  When the auto-post goes to WP, it shows up as the 
smaller 
image, but will pop to the correct size to play the video.  I've had this 
happen when 
uploading thumbnails and videos at the same time.  When I've gone back to edit 
the file 
and upload the correct size again, it takes the file and makes it the small 
size again.

I bypassed this by coding height=360 and width=480 into the jpg, but that 
makes the 
images fuzzy, as was discussed in the record small and increase the viewing 
size thread.

RE: [videoblogging] Re: Blip JPEGs

2007-01-11 Thread Mike Hudack
OK, guys, I've found the problem.  If your thumbnail is bigger than a
certain max_size (which is set in our configuration files) we resize it
to a new size, which is much smaller than that max size.  We do this
principally to keep from screwing up people's blog layouts, and also
because people have a habit of sometimes uploading mammoth 13 megapixel
images as their thumbnails.

The code itself is working okay, but it looks like our configuration
settings could use some tweaks.  How does 640 x 480 sound as a new max
size / resize target?

[videoblogging] Re: Blip JPEGs

2007-01-11 Thread Bill Cammack
640x480 sounds great, considering:

A) a lot of videobloggers are using 480 as the width of their videos
to fit inside the boundaries of their blog, and

B) with the new iPod specs, you can make 640x480 H264 m4v files that
will run on the iPod.  I'm pretty sure Rox is already using that
format for http://beachwalks.tv.  I would assume it's going to become
more common as people plan to show their videos not only on the net
but on whatever services are coming down the line to broadcast media
on televison.  Having the size limitation less than 640x480 would run
into the same problem if the standard went up to 640.

Is there a size (data) limitation on the files also?  That could cause
the same issue for a file that's legal frame-size-wise, but fails
the data limit and gets resized.

maintaining aspect ratio.

By the way, we're shooting for a new release on Saturday... Lots of nice

I *heart* you MM.

On 1/10/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
wrote:

   So much to say I actually started to write an email twice, but I had to
 stop.

 It's brilliant! I don't know where you get these crazy ideas from but
 keep it up! ;)

 I like Peter's idea btw... but I can expand on it GREATLY... this
 could well be only the tip of the iceberg.

 I say, save the source if you have the space on your servers. Why?
 Think about in the future creating blip projects think flickr
 groups... but it's not about simply sharing... they're PROJECT
 groups... they're about collaborative editing and organizing... either
 rough cut editing online (with original source videos!)... using
 blip's future online editing tools... or by downloading clips, editing
 and reuploading to the blip projects.

 Maybe... you just want to embrace the remix...

 Or maybe you steal apple's rip, mix burn slogan.

 And you adopt a strategy, of Shoot, upload, mix, publish!

 Blip Projects would be descrete groups... like a pbwiki... or say
 this yahoo group... that can be public or private... or many stages
 inbetween.

 They could be used to collaborate... say... a vloggercon project for
 vloggers to upload raw footage to share publicly, organize and
 collaboratively edit.

 or what about offering some white label version of this to podtech
 or rocketboom and others with correspondents in the field. They
 got the correspondents go out in the field... covering CES, and
 macworld and they're to damn busy in the field to do any editing...
 they're not sleeping... they may be in bed... with each other even...
 but they're not sleeping... because it's CES... so they upload the
 footage to their Podtech CES Project on blip.tv so the podtech
 editors who are well rested can organize, grab source and edit
 together shows.

 But that's not it... no. not by a long shot... because... what if you
 were in a war zone and wanted to vlog... and you had limited
 resources, editing time, software, tech, and broadband say you had
 a blog and it was called Alive in Bagdad and you needed some
 collaborative space to upload and share raw footage with your
 co-conspirators state-side with their fancy macbooks, and their
 broadband and editing software..

 But wait that's not it!? What if you were in the bush in africa...
 like literally in the bush... shooting all this amazing footage of
 wild dogs, and elephents and lions and rhinos!? Oh... wait, that's
 wildcast.net!

 It's not like you'd have a broadband connection in the bush, nor a
 mobile editing station... maybe you'd upload some raw clips via sat
 phone and blips intro  outro tool would be GREAT for that! Slapping
 an intro... a title sequence and an outro on it, transocding it to
 flash an mp4 and posting it all to your vlog... at wildcast.net

 But also may you could also upload some raw footage, some audio clips,
 some voice over material and what not to Project Wildcast on blip.tv
 and your conspirators in London could mix together some superb shows.

 But wait... maybe you're on the road... maybe you're covering a
 presidential campaign with three other people... maybe that of John
 Edwards? You're not all on the road at the same time but you
 need to be able to collaborate with your compadres to share the
 load... maybe you need some place to upload raw footage for your
 conspirators to edit and post?

 And let's not forget the original idea either... the idea of just
 having simple intro's and outros.

 Maybe you've got a video cameraphone... maybe it's a Nokia n70, or a
 N93 or N95 and let's say you shoot some footage of someone getting
 tazered in a library in california... or maybe you're on vacation and
 a tsunami hits... I don't know... use your imagination...

 The point is you can just hit the old share this video button on your
 phone... and you send your footage off to blip... you key in a
 title... i just saw something that might change the world... and 30
 minutes or an hour later there it is, a post on your vlog... titled...
 this might change the world and there's your clip... not in 3gp
 format as you shot it, but in a very shareable and viewable flash...
 and a nice mp4...

 So what if maybe this ONE video clip of some kid getting tazzered at a
 library might not actually change the world... yeah, probably not, but
 maybe... just maybe the aggregate... of thousands and thousands of
 people just like you... doing the same thing... civil servents of the
 camera... doing their civic duty... shining camera's into all the dark
 but also quite often wonderful corners of the world... and sharing
 those videos with the click of a button... not in realtime but web
 time... that sort of ubiquity, that instant access, press button
 simplicity to shoot and share something with potentially the entire
 world... maybe the aggregate of thousand and thousands of people
 will.. maybe, one day change the world... maybe like an idea that's
 time has come... in some sense it

Interesting,

So long as its always under the full control of the creator, Im not
sure people will even think of it as an altered video modified by you.
Indeed if people use the features to put titles, credits, license
info, or adverts into their video, they might not want the 'original
unaltered' video to be available at all?

For me, if its under the users control, its more like a simple form of
'online video editing' that you are offering, will be fascinating to
see what others think.

Hey Mike--

I'm new to the group, but have been lurking.  First, many thanks for
the leadership you provided as regards the MyHeavy situation.  I
already love blip, but your conduct in that situation was just one
more reason.

As to pre- and post-roll...what is the advantage of doing that via
blip, as opposed to just editing our videos as we want them to appear
(including opening/closing credits or whatever) then uploading?  I'm
not sure I understand it...

Thanks!

Let's say you have a show with 60 episodes...  When you feel like changing your 
intro, 
would you rather:

A) re-edit and re-upload 60 videos? or
B) make one new intro and upload that?

Also, if you made a bunch of videos with no visible CC in it (although it's 
being sent 
through the feed), you would be able to add it to all of your videos at the

Hey Ben,

First of all, thanks!  I think the advantage is that if you've got a
large number of videos that you want to perform pre- and post-roll
manipulation on, you can do them all at once in batch on blip.  That's
the idea, anyway.  

We've also got some pretty nifty features up our sleeves for interesting
things you'll be able to do with intros and outros in the future, but
those are a little farther off.

You guys and your sleeves...

I do understand the overall concept, but I think I'd be unsettled not
having complete versions of my episodes stored locally.  If I
decided to add or change intros/outros, I think I'm one of those
cement-heads that would just go back and re-edit.  Or implement the
changes going forward, and leave the archives as is.  Don't expect I'm

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Blip adds Intros Outros

2007-01-10 Thread Peter Van Dijck
Yes, users control with sensible defaults sounds right. How about something
like this:

By default, the original file gets the prepend and append, and the flash
file too, and those are the versions you make publicly available. Include an
option to prepend-append to existing videos I uploaded earlier.

The original file stays available too (at .../original/...), and make that
available to the content creator, but not to the public, *unless* the
content creator checks the for appended videos, make unappended unchanched
version available to public checkbox.

At any time, the content creator can switch prerolls/postrolls and re-do the
append operations for 1 video or all videos. This way I can change my intro
and attach it to all future videos, or to *all* videos.

That'd be my personal preference.

   Interesting,

 So long as its always under the full control of the creator, Im not
 sure people will even think of it as an altered video modified by you.
 Indeed if people use the features to put titles, credits, license
 info, or adverts into their video, they might not want the 'original
 unaltered' video to be available at all?

 For me, if its under the users control, its more like a simple form of
 'online video editing' that you are offering, will be fascinating to
 see what others think.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Blip adds Intros Outros

2007-01-10 Thread groups-yahoo-com
So much to say I actually started to write an email twice, but I had to stop.

It's brilliant!  I don't know where you get these crazy ideas from but
keep it up! ;)

I like Peter's idea btw... but I can expand on it GREATLY... this
could well be only the tip of the iceberg.

I say, save the source if you have the space on your servers. Why?
Think about in the future creating blip projects think flickr
groups... but it's not about simply sharing... they're PROJECT
groups... they're about collaborative editing and organizing... either
rough cut editing online (with original source videos!)... using
blip's future online editing tools... or by downloading clips, editing
and reuploading to the blip projects.

Maybe... you just want to embrace the remix...

Or maybe you steal apple's rip, mix burn slogan.

And you adopt a strategy, of Shoot,  upload, mix, publish!

Blip Projects would be descrete groups... like a pbwiki... or say
this yahoo group... that can be public or private... or many stages
inbetween.

They could be used to collaborate... say... a vloggercon project for
vloggers to upload raw footage to share publicly, organize and
collaboratively edit.

or what about offering some white label version of this to podtech
or rocketboom and others with correspondents in the field.They
got the correspondents go out in the field... covering CES, and
macworld and they're to damn busy in the field to do any editing...
they're not sleeping... they may be in bed... with each other even...
but they're not sleeping... because it's CES...  so they upload the
footage to their Podtech CES Project on blip.tv so the podtech
editors who are well rested can organize, grab source and edit
together shows.

But that's not it... no. not by a long shot... because... what if you
were in a war zone and wanted to vlog... and you had limited
resources, editing time, software, tech, and broadband say you had
a blog and it was called Alive in Bagdad and you needed some
collaborative space to upload and share raw footage with your
co-conspirators state-side with their fancy macbooks, and their
broadband and editing software..

But wait that's not it!?   What if you were in the bush in africa...
like literally in the bush... shooting all this amazing footage of
wild dogs, and elephents and lions and rhinos!? Oh... wait, that's
wildcast.net!

It's not like you'd have a broadband connection in the bush, nor a
mobile editing station... maybe you'd upload some raw clips via sat
phone and blips intro  outro tool would be GREAT for that!  Slapping
an intro... a title sequence and an outro on it, transocding it to
flash an mp4 and posting it all to your vlog... at wildcast.net

But also may you could also upload some raw footage, some audio clips,
some voice over material and what not to Project Wildcast on blip.tv
and your conspirators in London could mix together some superb shows.

But wait... maybe you're on the road... maybe you're covering a
presidential campaign with three other people...  maybe that of John
Edwards?   You're not all on the road at the same time but you
need to be able to collaborate with your compadres to share the
load... maybe you need some place to upload raw footage for your
conspirators to edit and post?


And let's not forget the original idea either... the idea of just
having simple intro's and outros.

Maybe you've got a video cameraphone... maybe it's a Nokia n70, or a
N93 or N95 and let's say you shoot some footage of someone getting
tazered in a library in california... or maybe you're on vacation and
a tsunami hits... I don't know... use your imagination...

The point is you can just hit the old share this video button on your
phone... and you send your footage off to blip... you key in a
title... i just saw something that might change the world... and 30
minutes or an hour later there it is, a post on your vlog... titled...
this might change the world and there's your clip... not in 3gp
format as you shot it, but in a very shareable and viewable flash...
and a nice mp4...

So what if maybe this ONE video clip of some kid getting tazzered at a
library might not actually change the world... yeah, probably not, but
maybe... just maybe the aggregate... of thousands and thousands of
people just like you... doing the same thing... civil servents of the
camera... doing their civic duty... shining camera's into all the dark
but also quite often wonderful corners of the world... and sharing
those videos with the click of a button... not in realtime but web
time... that sort of ubiquity, that instant access, press button
simplicity to shoot and share something with potentially the entire
world... maybe the aggregate of thousand and thousands of people
will.. maybe, one day change the world... maybe like an idea that's
time has come... in some sense it already has.


That or maybe you're just some guy who has a sub $100 digital camera
that takes some nice 320x240 video in AVI format... eww... and

Hey Nicolas,

The short answer is you bet.  We actually released ipod transcoding a
week or so ago, but we pulled it back because many of our users already
upload ipod-compatible videos and there was concern about duplication of
effort and end-user confusion.  We're planning to bring the feature back
for pro account holders very soon in such a way that you'll be able to
request transcoding to an ipod-compatible format as part of the upload
process.

It would be nice if you could do both, IMO, for instance you may know 
who did a paticlar vlog and just want to search that person site or 
you may not know but know the name of the vlog, etc

  Hey all you blip folk.
  
  I really dig the new changes to the site. It's kind of fun 
  figuring out where things are.
  
  All in all, I think it is a nice set up easy to find most

  It's been fun.

 Is this the AllVideo Plugin?

 If so its good, and worth talking about, but I dont think 
its
   new. I
 tried it some months ago and I think the youtube etc etc
   tagging was
 already working. Or maybe it only got out of beta recently,
anyway, it
 seemed good but like all things has its quirks.

 I also see on their news page that theyre having it 
integrated
   with
 the JCE WYSIWYG editor in the future, which should be very 
nice.
Being
 able to link to video with simple tags is nice, but its 
  even nicer 
 when you just click a button to insert a video.

 For example I was looking at this really nice clean and 
  simple but 
 extensible forum software called vanilla earlier this 
evening.
 FCKeditor is available for it as an add-on WYSIWYG editor, 
and
   this
 extension comes with a FCKeditor plugin that supports 
  youtube and 
 google posts. I quite like the way it instantly shows you a
preview of
 the video so you know youve entered the right one, but 
  Im thinking 
 there has to be an even easier way to link to youtube etc 
videos
than
 cutpasting the videoID? Maybe it wont be so easy, 
  maybe I have a 
 love-hate relationship with rich text WYSIWYG editors 
because
they add
 nice functionality but can be bloated and OTT, but 
  ehres the link
 anyway:

 http://lussumo.com/addons/?PostBackAction=AddOnAddOnID=178

 While we are on the subject, I believe similar is probably
   available
 for drupal, or at least their video plugin supports youtube
   etc, but
 maybe there isnt something to enable easy video within 
  non-video 
 nodes, cant remember right now. Im out of date with 
wordpress -
   a re
 there any similar things for it? I guess as there is a basic
   plugin
 for FCKeditor that any CMS etc that can use FCKeditor can 
have
   this
 capability added?

[videoblogging] Re: Blip converts to flash? Did I miss something?

2006-03-25 Thread David Howell
Recently I've been making larger widescreen videos and uploading to
Blip. The original size of last video that I uploaded was 480 x 270
and in Quicktime format. Checking the file that plays/displays on
Blip, it's been converted to half that resolution for MOV and an odd
resolution for FLA. The Flash file just looks horrible and pretty much
plays like a slide-show. I was told that Blip is resizing videos to
320 x 240 so I can only assume that the transcoding to Flash for this
video went wrong somewhere.

If I look at the media permalink, it is the actual Quicktime video
that I uploaded. So if one wants to link the file from their site,
make sure you use the Media Permalink so that you show what you had
originally created.

Hey guys,

We're working on this and should have everything resolved really soon
now.  We've changed some of our distribution systems to handle the
demand better, and we're waiting on an Internet Service Provider to
get us new lines.  We'll keep everyone posted here on the vlogging

Thanks for sticking with us, and we're moving as fast as we can!

Hey David,

Thanks for joining the group, and everyone else is welcome, too!

http://groups.yahoo.com/blip-users/

As I mentioned in my previous reply, we're adding new capacity again.
 We're also working to improve our video distribution system (which
allows us to serve videos from multiple server locations) to help
alleviate the problem.  We actually think that those tweaks will make
a huge difference.

We're finishing up a round of angel funding right now, and the new
money will really help us stay on top of performance issues.  Until
the last few weeks we've been funding blip.tv totally out of pocket --
basically taking a slice off our paychecks every week to keep
everything running.  Now that we have a little bit more money to spend
we'll hopefully be able to have more than adequate capacity available
at all times.

Between that and the tweaks to our distribution system, I think we'll
have these problems fixed very quickly.

Thanks again for sticking with us through these sometimes tough times!

Yours,

Mike
Co-founder, blip.tv

 To be honest, I didnt even know there was a Blip group on Yahoo. If
 they dont know about the issue, I'll see if I can join the group and
 inform them of it.
 
 Thanks

 Anyone else experiencing slowness with Blip? It's been going on
 for me
 for 2 days with any vloggers site I visit that has their work
 on Blip.
 Got so bad for me that I finally just went and uploaded a copy
 to my
 own server so that people could actually watch the video.

 I'm trying to figure out if it's just my connection or Blip.
 However
 there are no problems for me with line speed tests or any other
 sites
 not hosting videos on Blip.

when it out of your own pocket, on spare time, etc.

blip provides a great service and you all do a sweet job of staying on top of things. Keep up the great work.

I'm with you on this one.  Blip was driving me nuts last night with
the download stalls.  I finally gave up.  I'll try again tonight.

I have seen sporadic slow-downs over the past week.  At first, I
thought maybe they were doing maintenance or something, but I
officially stopped thinking that last night.

I think somebody needs to tweak their servers, or add some more.
