Video update

Oh, to be 20 again!

I imagine if I were 20 I’d be more technologically agile. I’m still struggling with Google Video. I can’t manage to get my stuff uploaded. And Friday is bearing down on me, with the next installment of Friday Video Blogging due in just 2 days.

My first video on the web was back in 1999, an episode or two for a SoHo venture I was all excited about. It was definitely too soon then. Last winter I did a family web site laden with video, and family struggled to see it.

I have high hopes for Google moving video forward. I just want to find the time to focus and get it to work.

UPDATE: Google progress, it’s being verified.

ANOTHER UPDATE: An upgrade to iMovie HD (I also have Final Cut but for the moment don’t want to get into that) means I can export directly to MPEG 4 and should improve future uploads. Anyone know of public domain video programs?
