QuickTime Web Video Publishing Made Quick & Easy

April 162010

DV Kitchen 2.0 includes a completed redesigned publishing room which now has some amazing new features that have never been done before.

In this article, I walk you through how to publish a video using QuickTime as the platform.

Here’s how it works.

When you enter the publishing room interface, you are given the option of selecting a clip that has already been uploaded to a remote server, or one that you have either just encoded or imported from another program.

Having done that, you are offered the choice of three publishing platforms, Quicktime, Jeroen Wijering’s flash player, or ShadowBox.

Again, in this example, we’re only concerned with the QuickTime platform. Drilling down into the Quicktime option, you are presented with 3 sub options:

1. Normal Quicktime embed
2. Default poster frame
3. Custom poster frame

The normal Quicktime embed is a great choice if you just want your movie to appear in a web page quickly. DV Kitchen will generate the required html code automatically and offer the option to upload to your web server then and there.

That’s how easy it is. Note that you can have DV Kitchen generate a whole html page or just a code snippet. The snippet is useful where you are hand coding your html or where you have a blog or other CMS platform. Just copy the snippet and drop it into the page wherever you need it..

You don’t have to type in where your movie is stored, height, width, or any of that stuff. It’s compatible with all browsers and every platform . . . it just works.

Multiple Embeds

Okay, so that’s a great publishing option if you only have one video on the page. But what if you have multiple videos on the same page? It’s not a great idea to have them all start buffering at the same time because it will make the browser very sluggish.

That’s where the poster options become useful. The default poster frame simply places a default image at the start of the clip as a kind of placeholder. It looks great and will suffice for many situations. Once you click the play button, the movie replaces the static image.

If you want to create your own graphic, the manual tells you where the default graphic is stored, so you could have a company logo or similar.

The custom poster frame option is a new feature that allows you to scrub through the video to be embedded and select a frame to use as the poster frame. DV Kitchen will grab a still off the frame, upload it to your server and write it into the html embed code. It’s pretty slick.

There you have it . . . QuickTime video publishing made quick and easy with DV Kitchen, the best video converter for mac on the planet.

Getting The Greatest Video Games Experience.

April 152010

People who’re old enough to reflect upon the 1980’s will probably truly have the capacity to realize exactly how far video gaming has come. At one time the only real places to have exciting gaming experiences would likely have been in amusement arcades, whilst home game enthusiasts were playing a much more inferior system.

Today however, considering the never slowing march of technology, the home gaming is literally incredible.

Though, it has been contended by a few, quite well for me, that even though sensory experience has changed, the game performance hasn’t been in a position to keep pace and that it is really still at an equivalent place.

Currently though, as a result of technology improvements your home experience is developing fast. LCD TV’s and audio systems together with specifically made gaming add-ons are truly producing something really exciting to keep folks spanning various ages hooked.

An example of one of these simple accessories is the Playseats Evolution Gaming Seat. It is in fact a gaming chair which can be set up to perform like an actual racing chair. It can work with a gamers choice of gaming wheel and control pedal, and can be run by all the major gaming systems, including PC’s.

The chair is made of good quality leather and is available extremely reasonably. Even though, people definitely will have to make sure they have enough space for the Playseats Evolution Gaming Seat before getting one.

This chair and the rest of the accessories are all available on the web. Just make sure to read customer reviews before continuing with an order, because several aren’t really as good as they’ll appear to be.

It’ll be intriguing to find out the way the home gaming sector goes on to press development in it’s goal in the direction of a real life experience. Although, my personal main desire is that they can continue to drive the actual playing experience as opposed to just what game players are able to see and hear.

The WRT160N Review.

The Good: The Linksys WRT160N comes in a compact, sleek design. It sports an easy-to-use Web interface and offers a good set of networking features. Its included software is very helpful for setting it up with both Macs and PCs.

The Bad: The Linksys WRT160N doesn’t support the faster Gigabit standard for wired connection, nor does it have USB support.

The Bottom Line: The Linksys WRT160N Wireless-N broadband router has consistent performance, good range, a helpful software application, and a good set of networking features. Its lack of Gigabit and USB support are the only major knocks against it.

The way to get The most from Your Copying Budget

April 132010

Furnishing toner for my laser multi functional printer seems to be an endless, on-going task. And the price tag on the cartridges tends to make me more miserable. This is why I made it a personal mission of mine to lessen the money i devote to toner. I decided if I concentrate on three principal areas I could begin to feel some relief. These areas are: the amount of printing i did, recycling suitable items and refilling the cartridges on my own. I had to exercise more control over what I was printing. By merely checking what I was printing, I ended up being able to reduce a fair quantity of pages. First, I would determine whether what I was going to print really had to be printed. If I actually had to print it, then I would determine whether I required every one of the pages, or if I could merely print some of the pages to attain my goal. I realized that through the use of a no cost Firefox program to take screen shots, I would be able to minimize the number of pages I had to print by a lot when I was printing off websites. Before, when I was printing websites, I’d always print one or more page i didn’t require. Toner

Not all spyware is nefarious. Occasionally it is just used for marketing reasons by monitoring what links you click on and what internet websites you spend your efforts on. Still, most people think it is definitely an intrusion of their privacy, and usually do not like the idea of being spied on. That’s exactly where spyware blockers come into play. You may have spyware blockers built into the operating system or browser that you simply use. If not, you’ll be able to get a blocker from the internet or buy a computer software program at your neighborhood electronics shop. It is essential to buy spyware blockers that are updated regularly.

Teleprompter Training Tip #18: The Finished Produc

April 112010

Your performance is finished and it’s time to see how well it went.

The first thing you’ll encounter watching the video will probably be your vanity. Don’t sweat it. This is a perfectly normal state of affairs for almost everybody.

You’ll probably think you look and sound a trifle strange. This is perfectly normal for a very simple reason. The view you usually see of yourself is an image reflected in a mirror, not how the world actually sees you. It can be strange at first to see your left side where you’re used to seeing your right side and vice versa.

Some camera angles can also be unflattering. You might see yourself as looking overweight or even slightly unwell.

Delivering polished performances involves self criticism. Not being negative, but constructive criticism. Assess your performance and try to remedy any distracting or awkward habits.

Don’t split hairs here. Your objective is to give a sincere, polished performance.

They say the truth is reflected in the eyes. Are you captivated by the scrolling screen or making a dull, monotonous delivery? Are you moving around? Are you breaking eye contact?

It’s all about getting an appreciation of your own performance. More importantly, do you look like you believe what you are saying?

When you are ready to bring your presentations in-house, use professional teleprompter software . . . it will make a huge difference to the success of your production.

The Amazing Spyware Verdict

April 102010

A couple of weeks ago, I had such a huge brush with fate that I was alert if I would ever make it out alive. I had just opened up my new laptop, and was getting ready to present my memorable sales presentation in preparation for a sales speech I was going to give at this horrific convention the very next day. My computer, however, was utterly frozen, as if I’d downloaded some unspeakable spyware or something. Suddenly, I shrieked like a school girl who’s just found her lunch box filled with hungry cockroaches. Several people ran up to see what all the hubbub was about. Some good spyware adware removal software is just what you need, said an angelic voice from just over my right shoulder. I was particularly grateful as I accepted with good strangers advice, and we all lived happily ever after.

IMEye Review – Any Good Ones?

April 102010

Anyone hear anything about IM Eye? I’ve been getting a lot of emails about it from various emails. Everyone is hyping it up as the latest and greatest keyword research tool. I’ve looked at it, and it does look pretty cool though. Huge database of highly searched keywords and the ability to filter them down very quickly to find good low hanging fruit to tackle. Still, I really don’t like to buy any expensive product like this with out reading the reviews. Searching for ‘IM eye review’ really doesn’t return too many valuable results. The most accurate one I’ve read so far is this IMEye Review over at MisterFong.com. It’s pretty in-depth and seems relatively unbiased. Anyone else know of any other good IM Eye reviews by people who have “actually” subscribed to the service? Please let me know.
