Over the weekend, as you may have heard, we had a huge Weblogs, Inc conference, called WINstock 2005, and the majority of the TUAW bloggers (by one) were in attendance, so we decided to record a little "Meet the bloggers" vodcast for those of you who are interested in such things. Unfortunately, Dave Caolo, David Chartier, Jan Kabili, and Victor Agreda, Jr. couldn't make it (although Victor makes a virtual cameo), and they were all sorely missed. It is silly and poorly produced with what we had on hand, so if you are looking for hard-hitting Mac news, you may want to skip this one. We were all too giddy from meeting each other face to face for the first time to produce anything serious. Also, I should warn you that the music playing during the credits at the end *may* prove harmful to the delicately eared amongst you.

The entire video was recorded on location at WINstock 2005 using nothing more than an iSight connected to my PowerBook, and recording via QuickTime Pro. The clips were then slapped into iMovie and edited together by yours truly. The video is a .mov file exported from iMovie using the custom setting for QuickTime, using 3ivx as the codec set to medium quality at 24 frames per
Update: I accidentally mistyped fbz's last name in the credits: it's Serriere, not Serrierre. Sorry, fbz!

hi,
just curious as to why you used 3ivx as your codec in Quicktime. also, you probably ment 24 frames per second, right? also, is the ipod really capable of playing video at 360x240? i thought it was 320x240.
thanks!

I used 3ivx b/c you can get the file small at that rate and still get pretty good quality. It is a .move file so it isn't restricted to the 320 width of the h.264 and it still plays on the iPod, as well as everywhere else.

Is it really command-click to download? On my Mac it is option-click (command-click opens a new tab with the link).
Thanks :)

hm. i am huger than the others put together, and as the overweight spokesperson, i'd like to say, WHAT?
*Smile* I'd like to remind our readership, that this is a Mac blog, not a create-eating-disorders blog.
Cheers!
