I am using ffmpeg :::link::: to dynamically convert mp4s with amr audio from my phone to flv video with mp3 sound when they when are published to my journal. I know the player sucks. The problem is that ffmpeg doesn't write the metadata that the seek feature is relying on. I have some work arounds in store as well as some pretty fancy new stuff in the works.

wow, magic lists. Hey, (e:paul) - is that an mp4 embedded in flash? or recompressed to flv?

Video at last
Category: video
After a bit of wrestling with this mobile video format crap and not having any google to help I finally unconvered my problem. Now .mp4 even with .amr audio works and converts into flash video. Fixing up the crappy player I stole is the next step but seeing as that is dynamically added I can go ahead and start blogging videos from my phone at last.

Here is a really lame test video. I promise stuff actually worth watching later.

Buffalo Gay Pride 2006
By the way gay pride is this weekend. I want to do new estrip street interviews (e:news,332) like we did in 2004. Anyone want to be the interviewer. Maybe (e:jill) again?

The world's largest drag show is also this weekend. It should go into the guiness book of world records twice, once for the world'slargest drag show and once for the world's worst web site. I feel bad for them, they could have raised more money if the web site was nicer I think. The intro looks nice, although I am not a big fan of flash spalsh pages but then the inside is a mess. They would have been better off just having a myspace, lol.

Remember the flyers for pride last year (e:paul,3395) . Too bad I barely handed any out, no pun intended.

I got this great pic of true buffalo ants going nuts over spilled blue cheese on the warm concrete.

Gay And Lesbian Democrats
Category: politics
I had no idea how much fancy was in stonewall democrat. Here they have a giant fancy tent set up in the plaza outside where (e:hodown) used to work. The place across from the golden somewhere they have ice skating in the winter.

I hated working at HSBC but some part of me really misses the culture of downtown buffalo business daytime in the summer. It is constantly bustling with people and stuff to do.
