Guardian video/vlog#4


This week's vlog is a bit of a cheat. I've done a piece for today's Guardian and it has a video to go with it - although for some reason the video is not yet appearing on their web site. Am trying to discover why. Anyway, I'm posting it here too as this week's videoblog.

It features:
Friendly Fire cockpit video - The Sun (click on ‘see moment brits were hit’ in right hand menu.)

Red Hot Rails - San Jose Mercury News

Travis Fox's Darfur report - Washington Post

Challenge Lup - The Sun

Daily Telegraph

New York Times

vlog#1



I've finally managed to finish my first stab at a vlog, after getting bogged down in various technical mires over the weekend. It should work (I think) in Internet Explorer and Firefox - but i'll be interested to know whether it actually plays out there in the real world... let me know if you can.
Similarly, it's not properly streamed, but is coming direct from my site. Please do let me know if it doesn't work properly.
For those that know about such things its compressed into flv format using Riva Converted - I'd also be interested to know if there are better methods.


I did suggest in an earlier post that I'd be looking for some constructive criticism for these first stabs at video, but as Adrian Monck so rightly pointed out, that's consultancy. Which I probably can't afford.

So I'll settle for the unconstructive assassination. Go ahead, make my day.
