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.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Blip Show Player and Archive Pages
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. -- Chad F.

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

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Blip Show Player and Archive Pages
I need to look into blip again as I start up some new projects. I like many things about the showplayer, I love how supportive they are. Download speeds are the only thing that have kept me from using it more. And absolutely minimal site design can be a boon. When the moving image is the point, accompanying design needs to support, not compete.

[videoblogging] Re: Blip feature request/is it already there?
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 -- http://ryanishungry.com http://jaydedman.com 917 371 6790 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? Miguel.

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.

I wonder what is going on? Last night my videos were re-directed to a mirror site but they could only be downloaded, not streamed (I use WMV and embed them into my vlog). That lasted several hours, now I just get an error page. Ack. Come back. Indeed! It makes me realize how much I rely on blip and appreciate them!!!

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
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.

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.

[videoblogging] Re: Blip JPEGs
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. -- Bill C. http://ems.blip.tv --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Mike Hudack [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey Ron, Are you uploading these yourself or asking blip to generate them for you? -Original Message- From: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ron Watson Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2007 2:52 AM To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Subject: [videoblogging] Blip JPEGs Hey all, I'm having some issues with my thumbnails from blip on my WP blog: http://www.pawsitivevybe.com/vlog/ .

RE: [videoblogging] Re: Blip JPEGs
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? -Original Message- From: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Hudack Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2007 12:09 PM To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com; Jared Klett Subject: Re: [videoblogging] Re: Blip JPEGs Got it.

[videoblogging] Re: Blip JPEGs
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. -- Bill C. http://ReelSolid.TV --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Mike Hudack [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: OK, guys, I've found the problem.

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.

Hey Ben, First of all, thanks!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Blip adds Intros Outros
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.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Blip adds Intros Outros
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

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

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.

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

I know from the issues we had with Mefeedia (up until last week...knock on wood) troubleshooting these types of problems are tough. Especially 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.
