Re: [videoblogging] A Reason the Use Flash?

2006-01-24 Thread Deirdre Straughan



Since I've had several people ask (not just in here) about how I use Flash on my site, I've written up a page about it: http://beginningwithi.com/vlog/process.html

If you put something on the internet, someone will find a way to use it if they want to. Even if you streamed it or used flash, someone could use a screen recording program to make a copy of it. The way you protect the work is to license it according  to your wishes. Then if someone misuses it they are in voilation of the license. You can't physically stop people from using it though - just read any conversation on DRM anywhere on the internet.

Nothing naughty or embarrassing.)
My QuickTime  files can be downloaded and not only re-edited but can be re-released in unauthorized compilations.  Some of my subjects would not be happy about that.  I would like to reassure them that the videos can be viewed but not altered. And, if possible, that they cannot be re-distributed.
My questions:Should I switch to Flash? If I do go to Flash, is there an encoding app that does not cost  several hundreds of dollars?  I am new to vlogging and would like to ease into it as I see how it progresses. 
Any ideas?ThanksStan Hirsonhttp://hestakaup.com/

I'm not sure if there's a way to re-encode Flash; from what's been said in this group, I would assume not. At any rate, it's not easy or obvious to the masses how to do it.I use the Flash version of Sorenson Squeeze, which cost $99 and the quality is good. You can (as I do) play with your settings to choose the best compromise between file size and quality of encoding, 
e.g. if you've got a moving subject against a moving background (probably the case with horse training), you'll need a higher video bitrate, but audio might not matter so much if it's not music so you can squeeze that down. 
Feel free to look at my site for some examples, unfortunately, I stopped putting up encoding details a while ago, but some of the earlier ones might have that info still. Maybe I'll do some samples at different resolutions... one of these days in my abundant spare time! (Maybe the Sorenson Media site already has something like this.)
Let me know when you've got something up - I love horses! (And if you dig deep enough, you'll find video on my site of my daughter and her horse, when we still had him...)
