I think twitter is a double edged sword.
On the Boobtupe, as our teach wants to call it, they had this documentary (for intimie VPRO so you know its not a crappy doc.) about twitter, and there was this guy that only came out of his house to make a picture upload it and look at other peoples pictures. He did his work at home, so that didn’t really help his social live.

I am not using twitter “yet”, and i don’t follow people on twitter either.

Hi Che,
If someone uses too much compression, then the quality will suffer, but other things will make a video look bad including wrong video rate settings, type of codec used, and frame size and others.

The reason Marina’s video have the best quality is because she first starts out with a quality camera, expert lighting and she meticulously tweaks all of her settings. In another words, Marina cares about the quality of the result and she conscientiously does something about it. There is some work and effort involved.

Most people just click on the default settings of their equipment and hope for the best. In the case of uploading, Marina has studied which settings work best for her and which don’t. Marina talked quite a bit about it in the Forum.

PK Will the compression rate affect the quality in the video on my end when I view it?

I ask because some YT channels seem to play better than others. HFW appear to have a better quality about them while others do not play as well.

Odd that you replied here.

My buddy is uploading about 4 gig files and I think that file size is successive. So Marina’s largest file is 68 megs so thats a good size for HD. I’ll let my friend know he needs to use compressor and get it down to a more manageable size. He has like a dozen computers, think he can dedicate one to just run compressor.

Thanks.

Captain Jack, regarding your tweet to Marina:
@hotforwords How long does it take for you to upload a video
on average and file size?

Regarding size:
Take the recent HFW video Pajamas.
It is 58 seconds in length and the file size is 15 MB.
The largest size HD HFW video uploaded so far is the one entitled Gorby, Dec 12. The file size is 68 MB at 4 min 10 sec.

Regarding time to upload; in the Forum, Marina had said that it took forever to compress, but that it was worth it. At another time, I think she said it took about an hour to upload.

YouTube quotes 1-5 min upload for every 1 MB.
Take the average HFW video to be around 25 MB, then the time to upload would be 125 min or 2 hours worst case. Best case would be 25 min.

Marina, it struck me kind of funny when
you said in the beginning of the video that
you had been using Twitter in the past few months.

For some reason, it seems that you’ve only used Twitter
for a few months, but actually you’ve been using
Twitter since Oct 10, 2008, more than seven months.
Here is a screen shot of a Twitter page I saved
back on Oct 31, 2008. Amazing how quickly time flies by.
