Friday August 19, 2005 may be remembered as the moment in media history when the new media man bit the old media's dog. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Watching CBS veteran Jim Axelrod on the CBS Evening News Eye On America segment enter the VLogoSphere as a kind of alien news man who is so blown away by what the Rocketboom team is doing that he can barely contain himself from his sense of amazement. Hats off to the CBS News team for doing such a great shoot and editing job on this story. Producer Sally Garner really went the extra mile to include viewer turned Los Angeles Correspondent Zadi Diaz 3,000 miles away. "It's really the global show-and-tell," she notes. Very cool. And so true.

I love CBS and I admire Les Moonves. He has already declared the CBS News division is being mobilized to become primarily an internet news source rather than a TV one. That takes a similar kind of vision that Axelrod tells producer Andrew Baron he has. Andrew is incredibly modest and calm. What a rock. Amanda Congdon is the height of low key. She's really a dream anchor - so incredibly mature, modern and sophisticated yet youthful and fancy free.

I made a Quicktime Movie version from the CBS Real Player with Snapz Pro X v2.0.2 for compatability purposes only. CBS reserves all rights to this video and we will remove it from this post upon their request at any time. If you have QuickTime Pro I suggest you save this while you can for historical archival purposes and not to resell.

Don't Use H.264

Don't Use H.264

Took me until after Saturday's Flash Meeting to "GET" my mistake last week. I wanted to be state-of-the-fart using the FutureMedia H.264 video codec for my CURRENT REPORTAGE. WRONG!

 

That way I was insuring that no one would see my reports. So I've learned my lesson and will not be doing that any more. Pardon my redundant posts. At least you can see what I'm doing now.

This is a NEW NON H.264 version still at only 1 frame per second demonstrating that long form video can be compressed and delivered small. The original H.264 compression stills are stil on this version. I have spent a lot of time correcting my H.264 encoding blunder from last week and need to move on to edit and encode more from last week's LinuxWorld Show.

This is a NEW NON H.264 version and completes my redos for this site. I have learned not to use the latest technology if I want many people to see my posts.

Taylor Barcroft explains the difference between the Blip.tv Safari Recorder Compression vs. Final Cut Pro DV Recording and direct Compression to H.264 MPEG4. Taylor Explains this test from this FCP DV recording NOT compressed with H.264 MPEG-4. This is a 3 minute 4 MB file. Very small 1.33 MB per minute and still ok quality. Not as good as H.264. But everyone can see this one. Keep in mind that the Blip.tv Safari Recorder is ALPHA with plenty of time and space for improvement before it is done. This is NEW NON H.264 version.

QuickTime 7 Required

We don't do Windows but Windows does us. Because we exclusively encode with the H.264 codec in Apple's QuickTime 7, if you are running Windows, you need to download and install the latest version of QuickTime 7 for Windows Public Preview 3. We will let you know each time there is a newer version so you can keep updating.

Of course if you are running a Mac, you should already have installed QuickTime 7.0.1 long ago unless you never run or ignore your Software Update... If so you better get busy. If you're still running OS 9, forgetaboutit.

Videography and H.264 MPEG 4 compression by Taylor Barcroft, Video Journalist on a 1.25 GHz PowerBook G4 with FCP 4.5 under Mac OS X 10.4.2. NOTE: Tiger appears to have broken the Compressor 1.2.1 application part of FCP 4.5.

 

Time 3:08 Space 6.6 MB, 320 x 240, 2.2 MB per minute and it looks great even at full screen.

Best viewed full screen with QuickTime 7 player featuring H.264. QT 7 Pro lets you save this so you can view it full screen.

DTV Beta for Mac OS X Released - One Giant Step Closer to the Death of Old Media

Looks like the revolution is unfolding faster and faster every day. And this time Macintosh OS X is given the leadership role. Today is the launch of an open source way for anyone to become a global publisher NOW. But only if the publisher uses a Macintosh running Mac OS X.

Only mass ignorance and hypnosis is keeping old media alive now. Follow this link to the Participatory Culture Website. The revolution is being televised on the internet.

Industry Luminaries Declare Old TV Days Numbered

Broadcast Machine for all website video publishing Channel Creation. Offers optional torrent technology to minimize bandwidth expense for any popular site's serving load. Yet another technological equalizer is making mass or narrow casting possible for all creative individuals. Blowing my mind again. How 'bout yours?

Lan Bui Premieres Video of the Moment's "Fishes" on iTunes

Lan Bui is a genius. "Fishes" is a brilliant essay on the reality of DEATH as a FACT-OF-LIFE.

I recommend subscribing to his new "Video of the Moment" PodCast at the iTunes' Podcast Directory. Keyword "Video".

Current TV Is Internet Video On Demand (VOD)

But not Video Podcast yet. No sign of Current TV at the iTunes Podcast Directory. Wonder how many days b4 they are there?

Watch Current_TV VOD clips here.

Watch "Jumper" by Mark Rienhart. It was featured on the Tonight Show Monday evening. Brilliant piece of video.

Wonder how long it will be 'til Current TV Video Podcasts are more popular than the satellite-cable feed. My guess is weeks not months. 75% of Current's target audience gets their information from the internet - not TV.
