Many Ways to Videoblog

 

Live from Cellphone

  • quality is lower even with 3G and WiFi, not great for anything with text e.g. slide presentation
  • resolution is lower (176x144 aka "CIF" to 320x240 to 640x480)
  • buffering is a problem (what if you lose connectivity?), you lose the remainder of your cast
  • you typically can't get original file, only flash aka ".flv" files
  • easy and no need for USB and Bluetooth chain of pain
  • qik.com, flixwagon.com, bambuser.com, comvu.com

 

Live from Laptop

  • higher resolution than cellphone
  • can use mixer and DV and HD cams
  • also typically can't get original
  • easy and no need for USB and Bluetooth chain of pain
  • advanced: use program like camtwist to combine slides and speaker and stream combined feed
  • ustream.tv, mogulus.com, blogtv (allows 2 cameras at one)

 

Non Live to Videosharing Websites

 

  • full spectrum of video cameras: point and shoot digital camera up to pro camera  can be used -> optional editing -> upload to website
  • blip.tv - advantage - original file and creative commons
  • youtube.com - advantage - traffic and popularity
  • google video - unlimited size videos
