7. hot-linking with an http://http file structure to hide source of video when pulling from another domain.
been curious about this one. feel free to explain ;-)
and yeah, we all think its sweet (tries not to hop on the 'ubercool' bandwagon) that they are going to prep a book for release.... moving this thing forward... assuring its legitimacy. its great.
despite our opinions about the hacks thing... its just surfacy opinions... nothing to read too deeply into.

I am surprised to hear the number of people who think this Oriley
hacks thing is a bad idea. I think it's probably the greatest honor
yet to come out of the whole videoblogging group. I have Spidering
Hacks and Google Hacks and they are exceptionally great.
Oriely is editing the book so they will assure it meets their
standards I assume.
I can easily imagine how it will be so easy to come up with 100 solid
hacks, that meet even the strictest definitions of hacks, the
challenge may be to ONLY have 100.
In the same way I get creative fulfillment from writing, I also feel
pretty good about the kinds of solutions I'm forced to come up with
on a daily basis just trying to keep our videoblog afloat. I assume
everyone has tons of little solutions that they make up to suit
tailored demands.
Wouldn't the following be just a few of the thousands of common ideas?
1. apple widget to grab latest video from xml feed
2. interface public webcam to update on blog
3. home made teleprompter from hacked laptop screen, mirror and glass
to place over camera lenses.
4. building a mechanical, external switch to trigger controls via
infrared or sonar.
5. creating various MAX/MSP Jitter patches for compressing,
streaming, looping and effecting video
6. revlogging hacks.
7. hot-linking with an http://http file structure to hide source of
video when pulling from another domain.
8. creating an index file that checks to make sure server is healthy
and if its slow or crashed to divert to a backup server.
9. inserting url pings in quicktime when user reaches a certain point
in the video.
10. how to seed a torrent and then release yourself from the seed
while keeping it alive off the other seeds
11. how to meet people through webcams by finding out the location of
the cam's IP and then calling.
12. how to hack your audience by renaming your files.
13. how to code your site to associate all images and various video
distributions to the same post, without coding each item.
14. how to capture any file, even DRM or protected files.
15. how to convert any file to any file
16. using php or pearl script to randomly grab videos from a directory
17. how to hard code an xml template to create enclosures.
18. create your own rss to TV feeds.
19. how to make a bean-bag to mount a camera on your bike.
20. how to edit on your videocamera in realtime.
21. building a 555 timer circuit to start/stop camera at time intervals.
22. building a motion sensor to trigger a videocamera on.
23. tons of easy video tracking methods for input values.
24. pulling in feeds from various places like del.icio.us,
blogdigger, friends, etc. into videoblog
25. how to exclude certain authors from being downloaded through
community feed subscriptions <-this is my all time favorite ;)
To name but just a few obvious ones. . .
