In a situation like that, I would say calling Mr. Hudack on his cell might be in order. That is, if it's really a Blip issue - but based upon what you've described, I don't think it is. What you describe sounds very strange. Know there's an autoplay option in Blip's show player configuration

[videoblogging] A free flv player hosted on a public domain?

2008-07-10 Thread David Terranova
A client of mine wants to embed a video (hosted on another client¹s server) on their myspace page. Ideally I would get them to install an flv player onto their server, but the problem is that they don't have one. Does anyone know if there¹s anything like JW Player that doesn¹t need to be hosted

2008-07-10 Thread Jen Simmons
640x360 is a frequently use and highly recommended 16x9 size. Your problem is that while your image is in the 16x9 shape, your video is really still 4x3 with black lines filling in the difference. You gotta set up a workflow in one way or another that *crops* off the area where the black

Yes that’s what I meant: I just need to host the player that will load an flv on [my own/client’s] server. I’ve got a feeling JW Player is built to not allow crossdomain use, exactly for this reason. I’ll see how flowplayer works otherwise... Thanks for the tip!

This actually brings me on to another point. I’ve been having all sorts of problems when using public players (that aren’t my own) to play my anamorphic 16:9 FLV videos. When uploading to blip.tv, for example, the widescreen video would be squashed into a square (1:1). After a lot of fiddling

Nice! I've been meaning to ask - who's editing HD, and how powerful does your computer have to be to be efficient? Can a MacBook Pro handle HD editing effectively? I'm wondering what the minimum spec is, and what people are actually using for fast render times, etc. Rupert
