Keep them coming Jamie. I really enjoyed both videos. They are helpful and encouraging, and hopefully everyone is able to see and hear them.
Thanks.......Shep

is there a way to download the file? I'm wanting to be able to splice out segments so I can create the tv show I was talking about.

You can download it from Google Video. There is a link on the Soulforce video page. However I don't think you would be able to edit it because it would be a *.gvi file for the Google Player. You would need to have either the original *.avi or *.mpg file. There might be a program to convert it somewhere.

The way I create the online videos is through use of a firewire capture device (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000C8TD6/soulforce-20) on my computer. The original capture is 3-6 gigabytes. I then use Adobe Premiere to convert it to an MPG that is half the dimension and slightly reduced in quality, but only about 10% of the original file size. That file is usually about 300-600MB and I delete the original capture. I then upload that large file to Google video and they convert it to a lower quality version that can stream on most broadband connections. It's good quality for the web, but I'm not sure the resolution is high enough for cable tv.

Jamie, you're awesome! :) I had no idea you were such a tech guru. When I'm rich, I'm going to have to hire you as a consultant! :)

Well, I'm the webmaster for both Soulforce.org and EqualityRide.com so I better be. :)

The next Soulforce video is now available for online viewing.

How Can I Be Sure That God Loves Me, Too? A Sermon by Rev. Dr. Mel White. (http://www.soulforce.org/article/mel-white-sermon-video)

[NathanATX]

You mean it "is" available... :)

[Jamie McDaniel]

You mean it "is" available... :)
:lol: Yeah, "the next video is now available" rather than "the next video is not available" would make the announcement a bit more significant.

[NathanATX]

And it's a great video... I just put it on my website.

I also put them on my blog, http://blog.myspace.com/nathanatx and my myspace profile, http://www.myspace.com/nathanatx. I've gotten a lot of great responses.

[NathanATX]

I'm seeing the videos start to pop up all over myspace now. :)

Here is an inspiring story. A Baptist minister in Texas wrote this blog entry after seeing the Lewis Smedes video.

This article on yahoo news...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060228/ap_on_en_mo/myspace_the_movie

Mentions a website "youtube.com" with millions of participants.

I would LOVE to upload some soulforce movies to that site, but they have to be in .mov .avi or .mpg format.

Is this something you could do, Jamie?

(I like keeping you busy...) :D :lol: :p

Good idea, NathanATX. I was reading about YouTube.com after I decided to go with Google video. Seems they are very similiar. I suspect Google probably saw how popular YouTube.com was and decided to do their own. Anyhow, if it will get the Soulforce message out there more, then I'm on it.
