Re: [videoblogging] the continuing frustration
Maybe I misread something. Didn't they say they only wanted general audience materials?

Re: [videoblogging] the continuing frustration
Bev, I have the impression that YouTube "owns" your
work once you post it there. Have you examined the details there
carefully?
I remember doing so weeks ago and that really
turned me off. They also sounded "censorious" insofar as they didn't want
anything that wasn't "family friendly" or something like that.

What a nice message. Thanks, Jay!
I've about decided to keep on doing what I'm doing--processing in wmv,
converting to 3ivx to post to Blip and also post to YouTube which will convert
to flash for me and link it to my flog. Cumbersome, at best, but at
least it covers as many of the bases as I am able to cover.
Thanks so much.

I really rarely read this group any more because (a)
you are all so far above my head now that I can't keep up, and (b) I
suspect I"ve become a thorn in many sides since I now rarely receive
any response at all.i always have little tech
questions.soemtimes I post on the group...but oftne i email
peopledirectly...becasue i uslaly need more help than one email.i
think youve made friends with people on this groupyou can always
email me directly if you have a tech
questions.jay.dedmanATgmail.comwe all started confused with this
stuff.friends of mine will tell you that im still pretty ignorant
now. But my big frustration is in trying to find a format.
Any format. I started posting in .wmv but people couldn't see
that and I was told that QuickTime was the way to go, so I started
posting in QuickTime. Then I was told that QuickTime couldn't
be loaded onto the new iPods and I should use 3ivx, which I
did. Now some people complaint that they can't see those.
I post to both Blip and YouTube. You Tube uses flash.
Some can see it, some can't. Nerissa helped me with creating
imbedded players on my site, which some complain can't be
seen. Then Robert very kindly took a video for me and
converted it into two flash formats, one of which I can't see.
I've upgraded my windows media viewer. I've upgraded my flash
format and though I have no problem viewing the videos most of you
guys post, my own videos can be seen by some, not by
all.see, youre already ahead of the curve.i was at a devloper's
confernce last month.there were reps from Yahoo, reuters, etc...and
everyone was frustratedwith video formats.NO ONE KNOWS.there is
no format that works everywhere.the commercial world is going all
Flash.but its not remixable..andvery often difficult to
aggregate.I have never seen flash done well.usually its some
commercial player that streams flash and has adsbefore and after the
video. For the average, run of the mill, senior citizen who just
wants to watch a video and not get into video blogging, etcwhat
is the best way to go? I belong to Senior Net and people are
enthusiastic about seeing my videos, but cannot see either 3ivx or
YouTube's flash. My boss wants me to put a video on his web
page, which I did in several formats, none of which he is able to
access from his computer.if someone has a problem watching your
video on their machine...itsnot YOUR fault.very oftnen its a person
who doesnt know how to install the most basicsoftware for viewing
video.Quicktime and WMV.we're also all the unfortunate victims of a
war between MS and Apple.they dont want to play nice with each
other.my suggestion is just make video thats easiest for you.if
you have a Windows machinemake WMV.if you have an apple, use
QT.i have a Mac computer but can watch both formats easily.if
your viewer has problems watching your videossend them a link to the
correct player. I have studied all of Josh's excellent training
videos and tried everything and nothing works consistently.
I am so confused and so frustrated. It's not like I'm posting
anything terribly creative or important or anything else. And
my god have I learned a lot in the past six months, but at every
turn I come up against another brick wall when someone says "I
tried, but I can't view your videos."i can watch your
videosyou must realize that you

Randolfe, I just went to the YouTube website, to see where you formed this impression, and did not see anything about their owning of content.

Re: [videoblogging] the continuing frustration
I didn't notice that particular statement in the
FAQs and didn't see any place where it mentions that. I did notice that
they say no nudity and that it should be "appropriate for all audiences."
My stuff isn't on a par with yours. It's not nearly as professional and
pretty appropriate for all audiences, so I guess those two issues don't bother
me as much. The one thing that DOES bother me is the amount of copyrighted
material that is posted to YouTube, direct from TV or other material that you
know is not the work of the poster. However, they may be cracking down on
that a bit now since it seems to be less than it was.
I still much prefer Blip, but for those who are
unable to see the stuff I post to Blip, YouTube is a nice compromise, for me
anyway. It seems to be getting better in the last month.

Re: [videoblogging] the continuing frustration
not a thorn here bev i still firmly believe that *most* people have trouble seeing videos. i have no evidence, but i think the odds of internet users being able to view one of video is less than 1 in 6. that is, it's half a crap shot at this time, the best way i know to make sure people see videos is to teach them to vlog and use tools like fireant i realize that learning to vlog and rss can be a huge hurdle for some, but look at the benefits the more you vlog, the better you view? markus BevSykes wrote: I really rarely read this group any more because (a) you are all so far above my head now thatI can't keep up, and (b) I suspect I"ve become a thorn in many sides since I now rarely receive any response at all.

Re: [videoblogging] the continuing frustration
at this time, the best way i know to make sure people see videos is to teach them to vlog and use tools like fireant Has anybody tried the google reader? I'm finding it much easier to use than FireAnt, though it is much less versatile, I realize, but it seems to be the nice plain-vanilla tool that works for me.i realize that learning to vlog and rss can be a huge hurdle for some, but look at the benefits the more you vlog, the better you view? Six months ago, I didn't have a clue about most of this stuff, and I am so grateful to everyone for all that I've learned! -Bev SPONSORED LINKS Individual Fireant Typepad Use YAHOO!
