The DV Show Podcast

Well, after 3 years, the hard drive on the server that hosted all of our new and archived podcasts crashed and burned last night at 1:10 a.m. We’re thinking the cooling unit was to blame as they got so hot they couldn’t handle it any longer and no one was there that early in the morning to monitor and fix it. Good thing we have a backup server and archived podcasts.

What does this mean in the meantime? New shows will still be up, but if you’re looking for an archived show it’s not going to be available. We have tons of work to do to restore the files from thousands of data CDs the podcasts were archived on. Wow, what a way to celebrate our birthday! it’s like starting all over again.

Ken Freed, a New England rep from JVC, will be on hand LIVE at The DV Show studios, to introduce JVC’s new camcorder line. This is your chance to interact and get your questions answered on their new ProHD 200 series and the 60p workflow with Final Cut Pro’s latest upgrade. Join us Thursday April 3rd, 10:30 a.m. EST. This page will be updated when we are live.

It seems YouTube is currently offering Higher Quality (up to 850 kbit/s A+V) videos to certain locations only, and testing out several different quality formats.

You can see if your video has different versions offered by YouTube, by adding “&fmt=18″ or “&fmt=6″ to the end of the URL, like in these examples:

Example 1

Here is a low quality 320×240. When you add the secret code at the end, it gives you this which turns it into 480×360 high-bandwidth material, and higher quality audio!

Example 2

This is low quality 320×240. And adding the code gives you this.

Now uploading in FLV format could be a questionable activity, since obviously Youtube will convert your video in more than 1 version so they can decide which one to offer to the viewer. The only downside noticed until now is that they don’t offer stereo-audio.

We just returned from the Camera Company’s 18th Annual Pro Video Show at Stonehill College in Easton, MA and what a fun time we had broadcasting live over the internet!

A continuous stream of global viewers got the chance to interact with vendors and guests such as Sony, Glidecam, videouniversity.com, Canon and JVC. Experts in lighting and web video were also on hand to interact and sales people from the Camera Company demonstrated and recommended products for viewers inquiring about types of equipment they needed.

A viewer had a question about a Sony Product, we walked right over to the Sony booth and answered the question….it was interactive television at its best.

Special thanks to the staff of the Camera Company: Marty Feldman, Al Uckerman and owner David Katz for inviting us. Thanks to all who joined in through live chat offering suggestions and posting URLs and a big thanks goes to Jay Duchin from Duchin Productions for giving us a much needed hand on the floor when we ran into those technical issues we anticipated.

We’re going to get the video all archived for viewing shortly.
