Video Podcast # 185 is finally up!

Rico · August 03, 2008, 09:57:54 PM

Well, after having to encode the file about 5 times (long story) the show is up and done! :taz
I made the quality level a bit higher so the file size is BIG (about 440 meg). If anyone has trouble with a file that size, let me know and I can post a smaller one some where later on.

Here's where it is for now:

Thanks! I think it was more like "Obsession." Where's a red shirt when you need them? ;)

Hey everyone, :cheering

Downloaded the podcast and looked at it on my iPod both while getting ready for work and at my desk. Thanks Rico for including my video and I promise I'll never use YouTube videos again so we won't get that chinese martial art dubbed film look. Great to see a face on the so many TrekSF forum members.

Jen, killer writing and acting on the voiceover review of your episode. Interesting that would both of our videos would end with a tribute to our dads. Great sunset.

Rico, nice dancing at the end of the cast as I 'm sure you were happy after all your hard work putting it together and the great work on your music video. Wow that isn't the little puppy you spoke of only a few months ago! :biggrin

All and all a memorable <-( Boy I use that word a lot don't I? ) podcast. Happy Summer 2008 fellow TrekSFers! :eekout

;D

Great video podcast Rico! I enjoyed seeing everyone again. Thanks for all the hard work on your part Rico and on everyone who did a clip! What an encourging group of folks! (and how creative!)

I thought each video was unique and very cool.

AWESOME!!!!!

Jen · August 04, 2008, 10:20:04 AM

Great Podcast Rico. I know how much work that can be. Thanks for doing that. GREAT videos everyone. Bryan and Moyer you guys crack me up! I enjoyed everyone's comments. VERY well done.

One thing I noticed about my own video...My M4V file (ipod video), after being compressed again when you exported, was very pixelated and the audio was out of sinc. The original was dead on. Was it the compression that caused that glitch? Should I send a higher res MOV file next time? Just let me know in the future if you need me to reexport something I send... I can always re-do it. I hope my videos weren't what caused you so much trouble. Maybe it would help you out if we all would export in the same format and file size for the next video podcast. I would hate for you to go through all that trouble again.

Again, LOVED the vidcast! Thanks for letting us share the spot light with you Rico. Your special guests were great!

KingIsaacLinksr · August 04, 2008, 10:34:03 AM

I forgot to say, Rico, that is the best intro for Star Trek I've seen yet. Excellent job.

And kaylee is cute.

Your dancing could use work however....;)

I tried to get similar formats but not everyone has the same equipment, software, etc. Recompression can cause some weird issues. For example, Bryan's file ended up pretty good and the base file total size he sent me was about 175 MB. But I did the best I could.

For future reference (and future shows) I would suggest you (and others) send me larger - less compressed footage. When we get near doing another one of these I will send out the requirements. Oh - it wasn't your video that was hanging up the encoding either - it was another one.

P.S. Feel free to share a link to your less compressed video for others to see.

Darn, I knew I should have sent a bigger file. Sorry about that. I think I sent a MOV last time, now that I think of it. Oh well. The podcast was still awesome. You did a great job, and I enjoyed the music video. I got a little "verklempt" after watching it. ;)

moyer777 · August 04, 2008, 11:02:45 AM

How did you like Don's tatoo? Wasn't that funny?

metron07 · August 04, 2008, 11:12:56 AM

Oh no, Rico please don't tell me it was mine. Even though I sent your a iPod format video, originals where a mixture of Youtube converted to WMV and uncompressed AVI from my camcorder.

I agree with you, less compression will be the ticket next time around. Perhaps Mpeg2? The file sizes will be about double in size but you should see no problems. Jen's idea of high bit rate MOVs might also work.

I'm sorry if I was the one who caused you grief. :confused
