 Verdi just told me that the iPhone only lets you email a 45 second

 Verdi also said that blip currently won't accept iPhone videos through

BTW, one of my favorite apps for the iPhone 3G and 3GS is PixelPipe (it's free).

PixelPipe 1.4.1 now lets you push video to more social networks/ media
sharing sites, not just Youtube. I've been using it to simulcast
photos to twitter and flickr on my 3G, and I'm now psyched that I can
do something similar for video. For services like twitter, it
apparently uploads video as .mov to its own pixelpipe server.

As seen on their blog:
http://blog.pixelpipe.com/2009/06/19/publishing-video-directly-from-the-iphone-3g-s-and-pixelpipe-1-4-1/

Publish video directly from the phone to over 40 services, Apple
provides upload to mobile.me and YouTube however we include Facebook,
Twitter, 12Seconds.tv. Flickr, blip.tv, Vimeo, Photobucket and a bunch
more.

Video upload support for the following: Acrobat.com, blip.tv, box.net,
Buzznet, Dailymotion, Dropshots, drop.io, Email, Facebook, Flickr,
FotoTime, Friendfeed, FTP, Hyves.net, identi.ca*, imeem, ipernity,
Jaiku*, Kewego, Kodak Gallery, kwippy*, Kyte.tv, Moby Pictures,
mobile.me, Nokia Ovi, Phanfare, Photobucket, Picasa, Ping.fm*, Plerb*,
Plurk*, Radar, Revver, Seesmic, Smugmug, TinyPic, Twitter*, Tumblr,
Viddler, vimeo, Vox, YouAre, YouTube.

Just note the bug where video thumbnails won't show up in the app.
They know about it.

My emailed video from the iphone to blip certainly didn't show up at blip
yet, so I can confirm what Verdi said. Not sure about the length of an
emailed iphone video - haven't really tested that. The video I emailed to
blip was probably a 10-20 second test video.

yes pixelpipe is quite cool.
i was experimenting with it a few weeks ago and suggested that a colleague
use it (she often has to upload to many sites for marketing campaigns).

on the other hand, i wish it could be more common to upload to one
server/service and make that media available (allow permission) on other
services.   the social media web is very wasteful of bandwidth.
eventually, this needs to change and be streamlined.

emphasis on the 'allow permssion' ;)

On a related note, it's finally happened... a news broadcast produced
from the iPhone 3GS.

With the exception of Final Cut Pro being used for editing, the video
was shot using the iPhone's improved camera while voice-overs were
done using the iPhone's Voice Memos application.

CBS4 News director, Adrienne Roark, intended to make television
history, so you be the judge.

Re: [videoblogging] iphone 3gs video testing so far

2009-06-23 Thread Michael Sullivan
the iphone video seems fairly good for most casual things.
certainly not a replacement for a dedicated camera like an HD xacti.
and if it was as good, well the phone would probably heat up nice and
quick and battery would drain and of course the disk space would also
quickly fill up and then their is the shitty ATT network to upload the
large HD video through.  yeah, still a ways to go.

personally, i'd be quite happy with a Networked/Internet-enabled Xacti more
than a sexy phone.
a camera that can upload to the cloud.  and maybe a few simple messaging
apps to hook into twitter, facebook with a touch screen.  but the camera is
core, not the phone or ability to run hundreds of apps.
i'd be in the market for that.

Re: [videoblogging] iphone 3gs video testing so far

2009-06-22 Thread Kevin Lim
David,
   Nice elaborate post! :)

Frankly speaking, I upgraded to the latest iPhone for the camera! The
auto-focus and auto white balance of the iPhone 3GS camera are great,
and you can massage the focus by touching on specific subjects on
screen. As you've noted, I too love the decent macro feature.

I agree with the video orientation being a slight issue. I find that
the sensor can't pick the proper orientation if you're shooting video
in odd angles such as overhead view, common in most product review
videos. Hopefully we can get to lock-in the orientation before
shooting in future firmware updates.

Trimming videos on the iPhone is a breeze, and I do wish we could copy
and paste segments between clips. That would make the iPhone the
easiest, powerful mobile video editing smartphone.

Unlike the flip video cameras, the gamechanger for me is the ability
to shoot, edit and upload decent video quality immediately on the
move. While uploading videos to Youtube is simple, Youtube's lengthy
process time (from adding description, encoding, verifying content
signature) makes me shun it towards more quicker sharing systems like
YFrog.us. I shot and uploaded this example mobile video tweet using
Twittelator Pro: http://yfrog.us/14cflz

If the #IranElection has shown us anything, it's about the trifecta of
being in the right place, right time, right network. For the longest
time, I've had too many interesting videos that never saw the light of
day because they were left forgotten in the pile of hard drives.

Finally, the iPhone 3GS actually uses an ARM chipset capable of 720p
video, but it's not enabled in software. Won't be surprised if the
next iPhone would be dubbed iPhone HD.

 of
 day because they were left forgotten in the pile of hard drives.

 Finally, the iPhone 3GS actually uses an ARM chipset capable of 720p
 video, but it's not enabled in software. Won't be surprised if the
 next iPhone would be dubbed iPhone HD.

 Y'all might be interested in my rambling blog post about video on  
 the new
 iPhone 3GS - it's here:
 http://www.davidleeking.com/2009/06/22/playing-with-iphone-3gs- 
 video/

 The video quality is not too shabby - reports are saying it's  
 about as
 good
 as video on the non-HD Flip camera. I'm still a bit confused about  
 the
 whole
 landscape vs vertical mode... sometimes I SWEAR I'm shooting in  
 landscape
 mode ... but when I upload the video to YouTube, it's flipped it to
 vertical
 mode. Same with iPhoto and iMovie ... but not all the time.

 Anyway - check out my post! Anyone else get the new iphone? What  
 do YOU
 think of its video capabilities?
