Video Sharing on the Internet
Many folks, who like shooting videos, also enjoy sharing them with others. The easiest way to do this, is to upload your movie to a video sharing website like YouTube. Most of these sites limit you to a 10-minute flick, and/or a 100 MB file. Also, these sites will re-compress the video you upload, so in most cases, you are not going to see the same quality on these websites as you would on your computer. So, you may ask, how do I go about uploading the best quality file to a “YouTube”, while remaining within their file size guidelines? I spent a week reading articles about this vary issue.
What I typically do nowadays is to:
- Download the original video footage into my computer from my mini DV camcorder.
- Create a movie for viewing using video editing software (i.e. Adobe Premiere, Apple FinalCut, Microsoft MovieMaker, etc).
- Export the movie as an un-compressed AVI file (DEINTERLACED!)
- Use Quicktime Pro ($30) to encode the AVI file into an H.264 (Mpeg-4) movie file.
- Upload the movie to a video sharing website.
- Done.
You may watch some of my videos on YouTube.com and Blip.tv by searching on the following “helmet camera mikie”. I typically use QuickTime Pro for encoding the final edited AVI file to H264. One tip to help your videos look good on the Internet is to make sure you de-interlace the video when you encode it!

Below is a list of some video sharing websites for your reference.

Hi there Mike,
I don’t know if this is something that can be useful, but I found it useful for me when doing fun things with my webcam… and more…
When I want to share my content off my webcam or computer to my friends or family, (since I really am not the type of person to want to put videos for everyone to see on YouTube like sites)… I use a really neat program called:
Quickeo.
What I find special about Quickeo is that it basically is an email program that does all sorts of magic for me without having to understand much of anything about the complicated stuff…
You edit an Album, pick the images, videos, music or other files, type in your friend’s address(es) [or select from your address book if you have already sent one] and type in a nice little message, choose a theme [3 provided I think] and press Send, and you’re done…
Your friend(s) receives a nice little email with a link which sends them to a
webpage where your content gets auto-played for videos, and slideshowed for images etc…
Neat, simple, and it works pretty nice…
The software still has a few issues but it’s getting better all the time…
You should check it out, you can download your copy where I did at:

Hope others like it,
Sincerely,
E.
