SplashBlog Demo, My First Video

Filed under: Software Video Vidal — over 4 years ago
 To totally show off today, I am posting my first video blog entry. I took my handheld video camera to CTIA on Wednesday and recorded some clips. My first clip is a demo from my friend John Chaffee, President of Splash Data. In this video, John demonstrates his product SplashBlog which lets you instantly publish photos from your camera phone to an online photo blog to share with others. I thought this would be very appropriate for my first video blog. It's a great product, and I will let the video speak for itself. Click here to view video.

How hard was this? Plenty. I attended a presentation last weekend at Webzine 2005 about video blogging which pointed me to the excellent tutorial site http://www.freevlog.org/.

What could possibly go wrong? I had immediate video compatiblity problems between the my PC and SC-X105L camera. I couldn't get either Quicktime Pro or Windows Movie Maker to edit the AVI videos created by the camera. I downloaded numerous codecs, and diagnostic tools. Interestingly, I could view my videos just fine in Windows Media Player 10 but editing them is a different matter. After a lot of messing around (read days), and downloading stuff, I was able to get this done using Ulead Video Studio 9 which also includes a plug-in to make PSP movies in MPEG4 format. The PSP verison of the video is very cool. I didn't get a chance yet to play with all the cool editing and mixing features of Ulead Video Studio 9.

Now, I am the media, and I can broadcast video.
