I think I speak for all of us when I say: Kermit video. Now. Oh, yeah. Bekah -- http://www.missbhavens.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Adam Quirk, Wreck Salvage [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ...and one of me standing in front of the TV singing Rainbow Connection along with Kermit.
Fwd: [videoblogging] Test a video on you phone/handheld?
Nokia N93, running Opera Mobile and Flash 7 - I get to see the whole home page fine because Opera Mobile lets you see all the images as they should be and at various levels of zoom, but there's no Flash video of course (Opera only handles Flash 7) and when I click the Cellphone image/link nothing happens because it doesn't like the javascript. I could download the Quicktime and Windows videos by clicking on them because they're direct links to the files on Blip. HTH. (Also, if I click the Cellphone link on my Mac Firefox, it freaks out and goes black and doesn't allow me to go back or anything - presumably the javascript swaps the CSS to a mobile.css or something, does it? A less stylish answer might be to have a direct link to the file and maybe even (sigh) a text link? I love your design, by the way.)

Re: Fwd: [videoblogging] Test a video on you phone/handheld?
On a LGVX8100 cell phone from verizon I could not get any of the videos to play. I also have a mobile site with video on it to here: http://m.billshackelford.com I found out the cell phones with verizon's OS with the openwave browser do not support video at all (which is most of them). I was able to determine that more phones are comptible with .3gp than with .3g2 it appears across the providers. I think your idea of posting a link to a windows media file is a good idea for all the Windows spartphones out there. I will be adding a link to my iPod compatible files off my moblie site because it will be compatible with the iPhone. Cell phone podcasting looks like it will take off with the iPhone :) Is your .mov files ipod compatible? Great videos :) - Bill http://billshackelford.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Rupert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Nokia N93, running Opera Mobile and Flash 7 - I get to see the whole home page fine because Opera Mobile lets you see all the images as they should be and at various levels of zoom, but there's no Flash video of course (Opera only handles Flash 7) and when I click the Cellphone image/link nothing happens because it doesn't like the javascript.

Re: Fwd: [videoblogging] Test a video on you phone/handheld?
Yeah, lots of Windows Mobile devices out there now, hence the .wmv link. And yeah our .mov's are totally iPoddy. I loved Home Movies. Very soothing for some reason, even with the quick cuts. I really wish my parents or grandparents had taped stuff back then. I do have some VHS tapes from the early 80's of some of my t-ball games, and one of me standing in front of the TV singing Rainbow Connection along with Kermit. I need to have my parents send me those before they decompose. PS, if you stick a bit of javascript in your embed code, when someone clicks in the box all the text is automatically selected. Like this: input name=embed type=text value=some code that embeds a video onClick=this.focus(); this.select() Just learnt that the other day and was momentarily impressed with it. -Adam On 3/8/07, Bill Shackelford [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On a LGVX8100 cell phone from verizon I could not get any of the videos to play.

Re: Fwd: [videoblogging] Test a video on you phone/handheld?
Thanks for the code snippet.. I will plug it in. The Kermit video sounds like a new episode for your vlog :) My home movie footage unfortunalty had to go through several conversion processes before I could get it on my Mac. The original 8mm film was transfered to VHS a while back. The VHS tape was captured with a PC in Windows Media format. I had to buy the Flip for Mac code to then get the .wmv file into iMovie where it converted it to DV. I edited it and then exported it to the web formats. I hope one day to have it recaptured directly from the 8mm film to a Computer. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Adam Quirk, Wreck Salvage [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yeah, lots of Windows Mobile devices out there now, hence the .wmv link.
