If you would, how would you feel if you could easily share those videos with the rest of the world? Thanks to online video websites, you can. If you are interested in creating your own video, on just about whatever you want, and share it with other internet users you can, by using Google Video.<br /><br />Google Video is one of the most popular online video websites, along with YouTube. Google Video is an online video website that is most commonly known for its wide selection of available videos. These videos commonly include popular television shows, sports recaps, celebrity interviews, music videos, and homemade movies. When most internet users arrive at Google Video’s main page, they are there to find online movies to watch. Google is the place that many internet users go because they can not only watch free videos, but they also buy popular videos, often for less than two dollars.<br /><br />Although a large number of internet users visit Google Video to watch fun videos, not everyone does. A large number of individuals head to Google Video’s online website to look for more information on the features that allows them to make, upload, and share their own videos. If you are one of those individuals, you can easily learn more by visiting http://video.google.com/. That link should bring you directly to Google Video’s main page. Once at the main page, you will find information on how to make and upload your own homemade video.<br /><br />One problem that you may notice with Google Video is that there are times when you cannot upload your videos, often due to site maintenance. This is something that is usually only temporary; therefore, you shouldn’t be alarmed if you are not able to load and share your own videos with other internet users. The best thing that you can do is what until the feature becomes available again. In the mean time, you may want to upload your movie to another online video website, such as YouTube. Although, it is important to note that Google Video is a great place to share your video with the rest of the world. For that reason, you may want to regularly check back to see if and when you can begin to upload your movie.<br /><br />To upload a movie to Google Video, as well as most other online video websites, you will need to first make a movie. There are a number of different things that you can use to do this. Perhaps, the best recording device to use is a camcorder. Camcorders are great because you should be able to make a video just about anywhere you want and at any time. If you are unable to use a camcorder, you should also be able to use your webcam; however, you may be required to stay around your computer area. Many cell phones and digital cameras have video recording capabilities; however, the recordings tend to be short and without sound. <br /><br />Whether you make the decision to use your cell phone, digital camera, webcam, or camcorder, you will need to load your video onto your computer. Once this is done, it is likely that it will be recognized by a moving making software program. Most computers come equipped with these software programs; therefore, should not have to install any new programs on your computer. If your video is fine the way that it is, you will want to save it. If you want to edit your video, you should be able to, depending on the type of moving making software program your computer has. When saving your movies, you should save them as one of the most common movie formats. These formats commonly include .MPG, .AVI, .MOV.<br /><br />As previously mentioned, you will want to visit Google Video’s main webpage to learning more information about making, uploading and sharing your videos. You can do this by visiting http://video.google.com/.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572873540051765364.post-6263151512393456392007-07-25T18:48:00.000-07:002007-07-25T19:02:41.193-07:00Join The Video Revolution - New and Distinctive Video Sales Tools Are Now Available!Join The Video Revolution - New and Distinctive Video Sales Tools Are Now Available!<br />Copyright © 2007 Chuck Bauer<br /><br />Waiting. And waiting. Yes, I have been waiting for a new electronic sales tool to arrive and it has finally made its way to the marketplace - video e-mailing, live video broadcasting and video training blogs! Best yet, it all works off my laptop and I can operate all functions, virtually!<br /><br />I must admit, I have been an electronic junkie since the beginning days of e-mail (even before the days of Al Gore discovering the Internet). Using an electronic infrastructure is certainly a way to increase your sales efficiencies and profits, not to mention working smarter versus working harder. Most of my highest net profit sales coaching students totally understand what I mean. You should too!<br /><br />Watching the e-mail world over the past few years - I have seen a dramatic decline in its overall usage. Mainly because of spam filters and blockers and I think that as humans we have grown tired of all the useless garbage that gets forwarded along in the electronic world.<br /><br />I wasn't sure what would be the next great move in electronic communication. Now we are on the cusp of a great new electronic revolution - and that being video communication. Just look at the advancement of <a href="http://www.youtube.com">http://www.youtube.com</a> and you know what I am talking about.<br /><br />Know this - all my Students and High Level Sales Executives that I work with are always on the LQQKOUT for distinctive and cutting edge sales tools and the video communication tools suite is just one of the many new electronic sales tools that I have discovered.

You'll also create a tremendous bond with your customer base. I did my first "live" broadcast just last week with a client in Palm Springs and the results were powerful. They dialed into my website, in real time, and saw yours truly and my presentation, right over their computer - LIVE!<br /><br />Here is a list of the complete "suite" of items that I am not only using for business and yet I am offering these services as a reseller.

With the phenomenal growth of YouTube.com many other videos sites are coming out of the woodwork... sites like MetaCafe.com, Blinkx.tv, and Bolt.com, just to name a few. These sites are great if you want to watch some funny or interesting clips, or share videos with the world. I can easily eat up 2 or 3 hours of my day on any one of these sites. But what if I want to put video on my own web pages? <br /><br />Some of these sites allow me to upload my videos to their site, then they give me the code for my blog, or whatever. This works perfectly fine for the video enthusiast that just wants to share his new skateboarding tricks with his buddies on his blog or My Space account, sure. But what about those of us that want professional-looking videos on our websites? We don't want to use our video files as is; as huge .avi or .mpeg files. If we kept them as they are they would have to play in the clunky Media<br />Player that we see so many others doing online (those that don't know any better). Not only is this eating up their bandwidth since these files are enormous, but the playback is often slow and choppy. On top of that, not everyone has Windows Media Player on their computers. And what about Mac visitors? They may not be able to view the videos at all. Here is what we want to be able to do:<br /><br />We want to convert our videos to the standard web video format of today's "YouTubes" - Flash. (This saves a TON of bandwidth!)<br /><br />We want to be able to choose which "skin" to put on our videos (a "skin" is just the look of the video player). We want to be able to send people to a specific URL after they watch our videos. We want to be able to adjust the quality settings to achieve a top-quality online flash video.<br /><br />We want to integrate the videos into our websites cleanly and seamlessly, with simply cop-and-paste html code.<br /><br />We want all of this and more... we want it all! (greedy bunch of folks, aren't we ;-) )<br /><br />And, lo and behold, there is a solution (cue heavenly music). It is a software product called "V2F", which stands for Video-to-Flash. Check out the video examples to see what I am talking about - <a href="http://www.easywebvideo.com">http://www.easywebvideo.com</a><br /><br />There is a demo video on the site also that shows just how easy it is to use, hence the name of the web site. It truly has made putting videos on any web page a snap. I urge you to check out this awesome new software at <a href="http://www.easywebvideo.com">http://www.easywebvideo.com</a>, because you don't need YouTube! <br /><br />============================================================<br />Shawn Pringle is the owner of TopNet Solutions, a company providing a range of online services and solutions. His latest product is V2F from http://www.easywebvideo.com <br />and he is constantly making improvements and updates based on user feedback, all of which are sent to existing users free of charge. ============================================================<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="http://thephantomwriters.com/free_content/db/p/you-don't-need-youtube.shtml"><br />Read More Articles From Shawn Pringle</a></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
