Envivio iLiveTV

logtech — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 04:51:43 +0000

Envivio iLiveTV is a new service for the iPhone and iPod touch that allows you watch live TV from online. Envivio uses Apples new HTTP streaming format which allows for the live video to be streamed right to the phone or iPod. iLiveTV works over 3G and of course Wi-Fi, however your mileage on how well the stream comes through may vary. Over all on a Wi-Fi connection the stream came through fairly well and only had a few buffers in the beginning. iLiveTV is a online app only and there is nothing to download. This is a ok idea, however the interface can be a little odd. At the moment the app only has about 6 channels including KRON, KTEH, KGO-TV and few others. These may not be main stream channels but it is a good experiment that works well. If you would like to try this for yourself you can be put on their waiting list for a password for the site. Check out the pictures below.

Download video and audio from video sharing sites

logtech — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 22:39:16 +0000

Now that video sharing sites like Youtube.com are very popular it is no wonder why people want do download from these sites. Here is a list and instructions on how download videos and audio from these sites.

One of the easiest sites is keepvid.com. All you have to do is paste the URL of the video (make sure it is the direct URL) into the box and click download. It will download the video as an .FLV, which can be a down side if that’s not the format you want.

A second website will download and convert the video this site is called, vixy.net. This is one of our favorite because you paste the video URL into the box, select which type of format you want (MOV, AVI, MP4 (iPod) 3GP (cell phones) or just the audio MP3), and click start. It will convert the video and then give you a download link. When picking a video conversion type you may want to consider MOV and AVI are higher quality and could be used for DVDs, while MP4 and 3GP are lower quality.

The only problem with sites like these is they don’t always download the video the first time so you may want to try a few times or try a different site. We are going to put a list of other downloader sits below if the above don’t work, comment if you have a question.

If using Firefox you can use this plug-in: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006

Hulu Mobile

Hulu.com, the popular video on demand website, has sealed its self off from being accessed on Skyfire 1.0. Skyfire is a relatively new application for cell phones which allows people to access content most cell phone browsers don’t support like Flash. This was very disappointing, but it seems they are doing this for a reason. If you look back a few months ago hulu did a similar thing with boxee. They blocked there content from boxee and just about a month later came out with their own desktop application. So it seems obvious what they are planning, come out with their own mobile application. If they do come out with their own mobile application how are they going to do it? There are several ways a site like hulu could go about this. They could create their own mobile applications for devices like the iPhone, Blackberry, Pal Pre, ext. However, if they do go this path their content will not be available on all devices and they will have to create applications for each device. On the other hand they could create a mobile website which could be reached by most mobile browsers; this would have a wider distribution but limit capability and quality. They could reach people either way but it would be much easier if the world could come together and create a stranded for web videos on the computer and on mobile devices.

Sling.com Review

logtech — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 05:14:25 +0000

I spent the past week taking a look at sling.com. Its from the makers of popular Sling box (I have one and must say I love it). Sling.com allows sling box users to view videos like on hulu, and soon short clips that people have captured using their sling boxes. You can also watch your sling box through Firefox, or Internet explorer browsers just by installing a plug-in. Everything worked very well and I did not run into any problems. The videos that you view on play in a sling.com’s own player but the content is streamed from sites like Hulu. We are hearing that sling.com will be coming out November 10, according to Techcrunch.com
