Sony HDR-HC7 Illinois Snow Neighborhood HDV Master Reduced To iPod Compatible Size

Watch the video
Example of footage from the new Sony HDR-HC7 HDV Video Camera which just arrived in stores this week. Shot by Jeremy from the SonyHDVinfo.com Sony HDR-HC7 Forum in a suburb of Chicago 2.8.07. Thank you Jeremy. 14 second original H.264 export of native 1440x1080 HDV file from Final Cut Express HD was 165 MB. I ripped a DVD image from it with Toast 8 then crushed to a maximum iPod compatible size with Handbrake leaving only 4.2 MB. Still looks pretty darned good don't you think?

CBS-Rocketboom Part of CSI-"Killer" 2.2.06 by Jerry Bruckheimer


Watch the video

Last night on CBS' #1 show on all of TV, CSI, Amanda Congdon appeared in a FAKE Rocketboom from above the Las Vegas Strip warning the locals not to go where two were recently murdered in the same evening. You can't buy this kind of publicity. Yes it's not a REAL Rocketboom episode. And neither are the murders REAL. This is another classic moment in the evolution of Video Blogging and product placement publicity. Congratulations Amanda and Andrew Baron of Rocketboom and thank you Jerry Bruckheimer, Executive Producer, for placing them inside an episode.

This is from an EyeTV2 HDTV source recording and is Video iPod compatible.

11.8.05 CBS-NBC 99 TV Show VOD on Comcast Cable and DirecTV Systems Early 2006


Watch the video
CBS News Reports it and NBC will offer hit TV show Video On Demand (VOD) for only 99 on Comcast Cable and DirecTV systems. This is only half the $1.99 Apple is charging for ABC shows, shorts and music videos via iTunes. Will Apple match their price? Will consumers be able to record what they pay 99 for? Will they be able to burn ripped versions to CDs or DVDs. And will the shows be offered in their original widescreen HD versions?
 
These are the questions that need answers between now and when these new services begin early next year.

Bambi Francisco discourages anyone from buying an iPod. Alexis Christoforous intro-outro.


Watch the video
This is a most confusing "report" from Bambi Francisco who on the one hand describes lots of free content on the web followed by a recommendation not to buy the video iPod because she says it's got lots of expensive limitations that will be fixed with an enhanced version in January.

1. 44% web users have created their own content.
2. Not easy to move your existing collection of videos to the iPod Video
3. Will cost more money to make them work on iPod
4. 10% of all video on the web is home or new studio made

Alexis Christoforous asks, "Do you think the Apple Video iPod is worth buying at this price point? A little hefty between three and four hundred dollars to watch movies on a two and a half inch screen." - ignoring it still plays music and displays photos and has 50% more space than the previous 20 GB model that was $299 two weeks ago.

Bambi - "Right. First of all there's limited content out there. If you can watch a two and a half inch screen for an hour long then this product is for you. But then I don't think for the majority of people out there. It also takes a long time to download content onto that video iPod. And also a lot of the files that you have on your computer these days will have to be converted. And that's going to take money. And if you want to watch those videos on a TV, that's going to cost an additional amount."

Bambi - "So wait for January, there's an enhanced version coming out. That's what I hear. So save your bucks and wait 'til then."

Alexis - "Post Holiday Gift."
