My first video blog: The Eric Rice Fanboy edition
June 28, 2005 - 6:45pm — bmann
As mentioned in the video, this is all thanks to Eric Rice.

Putting this together was pretty easy. I have an iSight, so I typed something like "isight video recording" into Google, and got this MacDevCenter article. It told me to go get Apple QuickTime Broadcaster, so I did. Make sure to put your network settings to Manual Unicast (as in the screenshot) and it will work fine. Then crunched it down from 40MB to just under 5MB with iMovie. Do I have to go through that step every time? Not sure.

nice
nice first video!
video blogging certainly suffers from a lack of a good name!
do you have a feed with enclosures i can subscribe to? for FireAnt or iTunes?
The feedburner
Hello there
Congrats for your first videoblog!
I've only just discovered it I and wondererd:How does this feedburner thing work?I' already have an account but I don't see any difference..
Have a good day
Y.T.
Feedburner creates enclosures
Feedburner will create video blogs and podcasts automatically, even if your system doesn't support it.
You can find more info at videoblogging.info on how to enable this for your Blogger / Blogspot blog.
And yes, my feed likely isn't working correctly yet: I have to do some upgrades.
No "real" podcast/videoblog feed yet
I'm eating my own dogfood, and Bryght's release of the next version that supports this automatically is a week or so away.
I'll see about making a podcast/videoblog feed available through Feedburner. In the meantime, I did make a separate Vlog category that you can check. Hmm...and maybe I need to update my two feeds post to include separate vlog/podcast feeds.
Good video blog.
Hey Boris,
Good video blog, you are correct that there is a strong personal connection. I haven't seen you in ages; it's good to see a person after ages, even if not in person. This has lots of potential for family blogs with kids away at school or on travel. Why not call them "vogues"? Blogs are public, video blogs are public, might as well cast off the odd word, "blog", for something more appealing. Strike a pose, and whatnot. ;)
The PowerShot S2 is working out very well, excellent pictures even just on the LCD alone. Your advice has paid off. Thanks.
Vogues...
Heh. Funny name. Why not just call it posting video to the web? Or video publishing...I hate all these stupid names.
Glad to hear the S2 is good for you. I'm tempted to upgrade myself, but the S1 is still great for me. Actually, I debated doing my video with that (It would work, and the video is great), but the iSight is already connected to the computer, so no import step.
