Snow

Viper007Bond — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 08:58:53 +0000

Just thought I’d post a little video of some snow we had on December 29th (I was mistaken in the video as to the date) as a test of my new Flip MinoHD and of VideoPress.

It went on to snow another inch or so, but was melted by the next day of course. Snow around here (Portland, Oregon) rarely lasts more than a day or two.

The black and white rally car part at about the 1:20 mark is from Top Gear 13×03 by the way.

The Muppets: Bohemian Rhapsody aka YouTube Adds 1080p Support

Viper007Bond — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 10:32:17 +0000

YouTube has supported 720p video for a while now, but if you have a monitor that’s more than 1280 pixels wide, then you’ll be happy to know that YouTube has been rolling out 1080p support for the past week or two.

So what’s the difference? See for yourself using this hilarious example of The Muppets covering Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. Click on the little “HD” button in the bottom-right of the video frame, select “1080p”, and then press the fullscreen button. Of course 1080p video itself is nothing new, however it is something that’s rather rare when it comes to streaming video. I for one am incredibly happy that YouTube has decided to move into the future instead of lagging behind like they have in the past when it comes to video quality.

Now if only I could choose 1080p from the embedded version…

“3D” Projections On Buildings

Viper007Bond — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 11:10:44 +0000

Check out this really cool video from a company that uses a powerful projector (or projectors) to overlay a 3D version of the building onto the real building and then manipulates the image to pull of some really awesome effects:

YouTube Adds High Quality, Stereo Audio Videos; My Plugin Updated

Viper007Bond — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 06:54:16 +0000

UPDATE: This post no longer applies (or works) as YouTube now has built-in HD support for embeds.

Wired is reporting that YouTube now has a 720p-ish (reports vary on what resolution it truely is, but it’s sure good) video playback support. Even more important, the audio is stereo instead of mono (you can really hear the improved quality).

YouTube’s default video resolution is utter crap (not sure what the resolution is) and the existing higher quality video was 480×360. This new video resolution is 2-3 times as good as the previous “high quality” resolution.

To prove it, here’s some sample videos. The difference is more apparent if you click the fullscreen button, especially if you have a large monitor. Make sure to also have your speakers or headphones on to notice the improved audio quality.

YouTube Default (Low Quality)

YouTube’s Previous High Quality

YouTube’s New HD Quality

You don't appear to have Flash installed or are using an out of date version. A recent version of Flash is required to view this video.

I have added support to my Video Quicktags plugin but note that if a video does not have the HD quality version available (99% or more don’t), it will drop back to the lowest quality format. As a result, I don’t recommend making the HD format your default on your blog. Instead, set the quality to 22 like this:
