Given your comment on making Peak Moment more edgy like submedia, I glanced at the homepage default video on submedia.tv. I'm no video analyst, though I sure see influences of modern music and fast-change video clips (not to mention the ubiquitous violence, though I didn't catch the humor in this brief piece). My question to you, and I mean it seriously and hope you'll give some thought to it: How would you suggest we might change Peak Moment videos in the direction you have in mind? What would help the content stick with viewers (i.e., my primary intent is not entertainment but serious stuff about our future, but I'm okay wrapping it with some entertainment if it helps the message get through and stick in peoples' minds)? Said a more extreme way: If you had to deliver information that might save somebody's life, how would you package it? Let me add that the above assumes few constraints for producing the videos. Our real-life constraints are that we're a two-person production team, the videographer is also the video editor, AND we produce them as half-hour shows for cableacasting on community access TV, AND we produce them every two weeks. AND we have no foundation or grant funding. I don't want your thoughts to be bound by these constraints, but wanted you to know anyway. Looking forward~ Janaia janaia@peakmoment.tv Hi United,

Well, one really important thing is to make sure you have a nice and easy "download" link so that ordinary people can put your video on a USB stick, plug it into their USB-ready TV or set-top box and just watch it. It's much nicer to watch videos on TV than on a monitor. It's not too hard with blip.tv, but I think vimeo makes it a bit of a pain to find the download link. The other thing is format conversion, I guess. I'm no expert either, so I guess there's something nicer than ffmpeg2theora out there by now. What have you missed?
