[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.
