RIP mobile users 💀 This video is under 3 minutes but weighs in at 350 MB. A 4K video with PCM audio in a mov container. If vlogs are going to work on Nostr video compression really needs to be implemented on clients. The wrong encoding formats means a large chunk of users wont be able to see or hear it, and it will kill peoples mobile data plans quickly.
The most compatible seem to be h264 video with AAC audio. This will work on desktops, Android, and iOS.
I don't know shit about any of this.
I just film on my phone and upload it without changing any of that stuff.
On centralized platforms this all happens on the server, transparent to the user. Anything you upload is compressed and converted to the correct formats. On Nostr it's not universal. That's why a lot of videos don't load for you, and possibly some other users can't view yours.
I have noticed quite a few videos just won't load sometimes.
I assumed it was just because I'm Australian and our government intentionally destroyed our infrastructure and bottlenecked our internet for censorship purposes
Amethyst has a really great option to not download video (and other media) when on mobile.
Excuse me, this is nostr ser. We have to break things for freedom’s sake before we come to our senses about what’s best for the community
nostr:npub1m64hnkh6rs47fd9x6wk2zdtmdj4qkazt734d22d94ery9zzhne5qw9uaks bringing the heat 🔥
OBS is the standard streaming software for good reason, it's easy to use and works great. There is lots of work to be done to make Nostr a destination for video stuff.
If it's more than a minute, I'm not watching it 🤷♀️. Unless it's nostr:nprofile1qqszd44fgen4ucpl3hjt7muuaazzqdahp3lwu9c07phdweelcdxf3ugpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqppamhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5q35amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwvajhgctvvfujucm0d5hhvvgv2xxnf because she's hilarious and I love her. I use youtube equivalent for learning how to do knit or crochet things, I don't like watching people drone on to a selfie camera. I'd rather read what people have to say. K.I.S.S. keep it simple stupid.
Yes. Be concise. Have a point. Get at it.
This goes for notes too. I don't want to read your novel people 😂
Amen brother. I ramble occasionally, but it's usually when I'm excited about a project and trying to get all the details in. Or when I'm drinking...
You never take it too far. Just right 👌
You're too kind. I much prefer chatting back and forth to a long ass note upfront. It's so much more fun.
Yes. Talking with, rather than talking at, is better.
💯 More people need to realize this.
There needs to be a pop-up if you go over a certain number of characters:
"Did you want to write a long form article instead?"
Or a bot that does cliffnotes 😂😂😂
Both of these are great ideas!
Like just give me the takeaway 🥱😂
TL:DR I want the meat of the story and I'll read the fluff if I'm interested.
I'm getting flashbacks of recipe sites. Spend 5 minute scrolling past the story to get to the instructions 😂😭
Exactly!! I don't care about your grandmother's lavender farm and fresh baked pies Susan, I want to know how to cook rice in my instant pot 🙄
i think this started with James Beard’s American Cookery. It was written like a memoir with recipes. But that unusual style turned into a formula…
It's kinda funny because I like YouTube channels that combine history and recipes. But the story has to be interesting. That's the key.
when it becomes a formula, its uninteresting
It keeps you on their page so they get ad money. I have the "Too Many Eggs" book that gives a history on all the recipe types which is fun, but it gets a bit tiresome when it's EVERY SINGLE recipe and it's the same story every time.
someone does something unique and interesting,
everyone copies it, it becomes uninteresting and tiresome
We totally need a tldrbot 👀
I wish Amethyst supported writing long form notes. It should auto switch the note type. It just renders markdown and everything by default so Vitor didn't see much reason to use a special note type, but I think it makes sense to.
I like the freedom rant when a rant is really needed.
I don't understand the difference between long form and regular content and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.
You’re the sweetest! But I always use a file compressor. Most of my videos start at like 100Mb and I will get it down below 10 before I post, which I feel good about because I don’t need super high quality shit to be silly 😂🫂
No you're the sweetest 😆🥰
Right, people be taking themselves way too seriously filming 4k for cell phone video viewing.
It’s literally just wasteful 😂
In more ways than one. My time is valuable. 🤷♀️
So fucking valuable. I value your time 😂
I spend it wisely watching your sillies and yarning. 🔥🤣
Tehehe I need to spend mine more wisely. I’ve just been pacing around the house looking for a vape that no longer exists for almost 2 weeks 😂
Oh damn, you're almost 2 weeks in! Crushing it 💪💪. Yoy need to break out the loom again when the rages die down.
I noticed when I downloaded your video to add the song to it. Good job nosholé 😎👌
I’m an idiot and even I can do it 😂🫂
🎯💯
