Dear Videographer,

I'm off to the Underground Seminar IV. If you want to see some amazing presentations on internet marketing, you can watch via this link Underground Surveillance. See if you can see me! I'm demoing some of my new technology at the seminar... but first...

Every week I bring you a new video that illustrates great video, great marketing or both. Enjoy!


More from the Amazing Flip Camera:

Mr Video says "This little wonder keeps amazing me. If you keep the camera steady (tripod) you can reduce compression artifacts. "

"People On Your Page"
by Perry Lawrence

Since I added my little walk-on-video character to my page, I have had a steady stream of people want to know how to do the same thing. I have posted a bunch of tutorials and many people have been able to do the same thing on their sites. Many others have been able to launch successful web companies using the techniques I have taught them.

Unfortunately, it's a bit of a hack to get the code right, the playlist right, the java script right, and get it all embedded correctly. So, it is still out of reach for some who really want the effect but want an easy way to implement it.

So I created People On Your Page - "Put People Where You Want Them".

POYP will allow you to put your clip on any page in under 5 minutes... (wait for it...) for FREE.

I am demoing the technology at Yanik Silver's Underground Seminar this weekend! I'm a bit nervous but totally stoked.

If you want a sneak peak too, just go to http://www.PeopleOnYourPage.com and sign up for beta notification.

POYP will allow you to have multiple clips, multiple playlists, and manage your clips via a friendly and simple UI. Just paste the code into any site and you have a walk on video clip.

I like the tag line - "Put People Where You Want Them". With these walk on clips you can interact with and direct your visitors and tell them what you want them to do next. Sign up, take a tour, press this button, go here. A live person on the page is better than text and audio. It's the perfect way to "step into the picture" and help a customer along or give a friendly reminder. And, with POYP you can actually put people where you want them - literally! You can place a clip on any site and on any page.

Sign up for a beta invite and I'll keep you posted of our launch.

Video Gear Review
Here we go! My favorite part of every "Tip of the Week". This is where we get to look at some neat toys tools!

I just found a nice video sharing community called eyespot.com. What makes eyespot so nice is that you can actually upload and remix video via the browser.

But that's not all. Scroll down on the front page of eyespot.com and click on Partner with us. This will take you to a sign up page where you can actually use their technology on your own site! I have instituted for the members of AskMrVideo.com and you can do it on your own site as well - for FREE.

By signing up for Personalization Suite - Standard you can get an uploader, a player and even the mixer for your own website and community.

Perry - I bought he Vegas 6 and the Vegas 8 upgrade - looks super - just got it and want to say thanks!

Here is a question please.

I am looking for a tool to extract the movie from a DVD - I hve my videos on a DVD - of my seminars etc. but I want to extract them and cut into 10 minute or so segments.

Does Sony do that? If so - do you have anything that shows how to do that?

I have tried a lot of methods like changing the DVD extension to wmv but I can't get it to work right to cut or convert to FLV.

Is there a simple DVD extractor?

If Sony Vegas does it great - if you have anything that shows how - Priceless!

Thanks guy - see you at Yanic's. Definetly owe you a drink - Water - rootbeer - beer - whatever -

Terry

Hey Terry, I usually use Cinematize which I love. In Vegas 8 you can go to:
File>Import> DVD Camcorder Disc

Then select your DVD and Destination. Once digitized to your HD you can use it like regular footage.

Easy!
