You know it was bound to happen. After online applications for editing text and graphics were released, video remained one of the few areas on the web where AJAX technology has not been applied. That changes with the launch of Eyespot's public beta: the Web2.0 approach to video (http://www.eyespot.com).
Eyespot is a web service, which allows users to upload and mix short video files, up to 25 MB in size. Additionaly, it contains features for managing and sharing movie collections.
The Eyespot Mixer is a user-friendly way of arranging digital media onto a timeline sequence and creating new videos. Individual movies can be trimmed and cropped, and sound is easily added to the mix. '...Make it an art form. Experiment', says Eyespot. Users can upload their own videos, or take them from a public archive. One interesting feature is the ability to upload videos from phones via MMS.
Eyespot also provides the tools for building communities around the service: video blogs, 'eyespot groups', and media sharing.
Registration is free. The registration process provides the option to fill a new account with sample media from various sources, including independent record labels. "

Interesting accidents
I was absent-mindedly playing around with some stock footage that I'm using for visuals for the band Cue, and while trying to show someone how to export individual audio tracks from Final Cut Pro, I drug a couple of unrelated Logic Pro tracks in there and made a big mess. I exported a movie from the sequence and it's kind of interesting."

Stock footage
Stock footage: "Just how big is the stock footage industry? No one seems to know, but FOCAL is preparing a questionnaire for its members in order to find out. The number is likely to be huge.
Take one low-budget documentary, for example: 2004's 'In the Face of Evil: Reagan's War in Word and Deed,' which recently aired on TBN and was made for $1 million. About $150,000 of the budget went toward the licensing of stock footage.
'There's some absolutely amazing stuff out there, but it can get crazy expensive real quick if you don't know what you're doing,' 'Face of Evil' director Stephen K. Bannon says.
Bannon adds that, whenever he could, he used free footage from the U.S. National Archives, the Library of Congress and the archives of the old Soviet Union's KGB secret police and intelligence agency, as well as other outlets.
In doing so, however, he made compromises: Gone was video of President John F. Kennedy smoking a cigar during his inauguration party, and in was free footage of the president and wife Jacqueline walking into the party. Gone was a pristine version of 1964's famed antiwar 'Daisy' ad in favor of a lesser-quality version that was in the public domain.
And gone were clips from half a dozen of Ronald Reagan's movies, which would have cost Bannon and co-director/executive producer Tim Watkins $10,000 per film. Instead, they settled for shots of the movie posters for $500 apiece."

LinuxElectrons - Fujitsu To Offer 200GB 2.5" Serial ATA Hard Disk
LinuxElectrons - Fujitsu To Offer 200GB 2.5" Serial ATA Hard Disk: "Sunnyvale, CA � Fujitsu has developed a 200GB 2.5' Serial ATA (SATA) hard disk drive (HDD) for high-end audio/video computing applications such as gaming, video editing, audio recording and DVR functionality. These applications are driving the ever increasing need for more storage says Fujitsu.
Within the rapidly expanding IT and consumer electronics (CE) industries, the need for hard disk drives featuring increasingly higher capacities continues to boom. Major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are already shipping products featuring the 160GB 2.5' SATA hard disk drive that Fujitsu launched in August 2005.
The latest offering from Fujitsu builds on nearly five years of SATA development on the 2.5' platform to provide best-in-class low power consumption, unmatched capacity at 200GB, high shock tolerance, and quiet operation. These features come together to allow manufactures to create high-end notebooks that rival the power and performance of their desktop counterparts. The MHV2200BT also features a hardware accelerator that maximizes Native Command Queuing (NCQ) performance, an important feature that enables the hard disk drive controller to intelligently and simultaneously queue and reorder up to 32 instructions, resulting in a significant improvement in overall hard disk drive performance.
'Fujitsu has focused heavily on R&D to establish itself as the leader in the 2.5' SATA hard disk drive space,' said Joel Hagberg, vice president, marketing and business development, Fujitsu Computer Products of America. 'We delivered the industry�s first 2.5' SATA hard disk drive in January 2004, the 160GB 2.5' offering slightly less than a year ago and now, with the MHV2200BT, we have again illustrated that we are committed to bein"
