iSight Vlogging
I'm testing video uploads on Vox - they work! This is a (meaningless) test Quicktime movie, shot with my new MacBook's built-in iSight using the free Quicktime Broadcaster and saving to the Apple intermediate codec at 320x240. That codec seems to be the only one that can capture isight video in high quality at 30fps, even at 640x480.
I then opened the resulting MOV file in Quicktime Pro ($30 from Apple) and exported it as an MP4. Seems to have worked. Now that I can do it easily I can use the iSight to videoblog.
Sorry it's such a stupid video. I was experimenting on the plane home and was too embarassed to actually say anything with people around. Next time I'll take it into the plane's bathroom. Or maybe not.

Very cool. Now Video Podcasting from the plane as you travel.
You looked squashed in that video lol.
Leo, can't you just pop in iMovie 5 (Assuming you have iLife 06), and record from there? I would assume iMovie uses apple's codec?
Please don't take it into the bathroom. They would need to make a new tag that says "this is not good" if you did that.
lookin a little nervous there leo. not bad quality though.
So glad to find you here on Vox, Leo! Love your work. Sorry this has nothing to do with your actual post. :)
very nice... but I take it you hate flying, which must suck because you do it a lot.
canada and back, etc.
Thanks, I keep thinking it had to have been that easy, but was thinking iMovie had to be involved.
That makes me think I will test some video with my Desktop and see how that works. I will report at my vox home
Hey Leo
As mentioned above I was wondering why you didn't use iMovie to make it? Does QT Broadcast enable anything special?
