Watch the videoExample 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?

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 Video3. Will cost more money to make them work on iPod4. 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."

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 EyeTV 500 HDTV source recording and is Video iPod compatible. Original was 136 MB and this is 3 MB.

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.

Viewers Make Rules in New Media World

Click on Image to Watch Video in QuickTime Player. Alexis Glick for Today, Thursday 10.13.05 Steve - "...and you kinda get video for free as a bonus." Continuous Caption: Handheld TV - New iPod Plays Video Anonymous Consumer in an Apple Store - "I've actually been looking for something that I could play video on." Omar Wasow, Technology Analyst - iPod has gone from an early adopter technology buff market to a mainstream mass market phenomenon now a part of our culture. Alexis - "Their new test is to find out if people will buy video they have to watch on a two and a half inch screen." This is not necessarily the case. You can watch on your TV and you can watch on a video headset or external portable TV with a bigger screen - can you say light FLAT screen?. Let's be clear Alexis. THIS IS NOT A TEST. There is no downside for Apple to add video playback capability for no more money and 50% more space at the $299 price point. You get a free video with every album you buy. Video Podcasters now have a way to reach the consumer like never before. And broadcasters have a way to sell shows after they air in a new window between original air and rerun, before and after DVD sales. NBC could Video Podcast the Today Show with advertising included for free and sell that market to advertisers for a small premium or others who will pay less for VidPodcast ONLY ads. The revolution is being Video Podcast and is being vlogged now. You do not have to watch videos on the 2.5" screen. Steve - "There is no market for video on the go today. So we're going to have to create it." We think there is a large market for video on the go today. And Apple is not going to have to create it. What Apple is doing is providing the solution to a long standing challenge. And that is huge. Kudos to Apple. I love Apple. But the market has been getting pent up with anticipation for this solution for years. Remember Archos? It is like an iPod only bigger, heavier, and more expensive without a Mac interface. But it is also a DVR which iPod most certainly is not yet. I will be very surprised if Apple will be able to keep up with demand for these new iPods before sometime next summer, IF THEN. I think there is going to be a waiting list from here into next Spring at the soonest. It will be a case of capacity incapable of meeting demand for a long time. Affordable technology and our new inexpensive broadband internet distribution system has just now fallen into place. So it's really about the synergy of pent up demand meeting new affordable technological advances - not Apple creating a market or doing a test. Thanks to Al Roker for ordering his last night. You the man Al. Matt Lauer's close - "I know it's going to be huge. Absolutely. Everything they do is huge right now." You took the words right out of my mouth Matt.
