Stop Big Media (petition to reverse latest FCC ruling)

Does Your Dream Video Project Need Funding?

What is TheVideoQueen Watching?
****************************************************** Flying Humans. Outlawed in the America.
Have you seen news clips of flying humans yet? It's more like gliding humans but VERY CLOSE to FLYING. These athletes in other countries have created and are wearing winged suits. They literally fly for miles.
THE STORY OF STUFF
Kind of like an eight minute economics, environmental lesson that's actually fun and interesting to watch!
In Grave Danger of Falling Food
In this introductory video to Permaculture, Bill Mollison, the movements co-founder, takes the viewer through the history and developments of the movement.

Answers to your email questions
****************************************************** 1. Have you looked at Maxcast to use on your site. Go to maxcast.com/strott and sign up. ABC.com, Fox.com, CW and more now using the player..There is a revenue stream behind this business if interest. --Stan
QUEEN: A friend of mine has been very successful using Maxcast. Go to his sign up page and try Maxcast and PhotoMax for free.
2. Do you have html coding for mpeg4 playback as well? or would one of the other formats play it back? --Dawn
QUEEN: Do not post mpeg4 for viewing online. Even if a player accepted it (they haven't in the past and I doubt they do now but
didn't research it) the audience will have trouble viewing it. You need to convert your mp4 file to another file yourself with one of these free video
encoders--

3. Thanks for all the good info you share. i'm a new videographer (i have a hard drive sony camcorder). Would you recommend a video editing program for me that's free or very cheap?
Thank you so much. -- Alina
QUEEN: Pinnacle Studio, Ulead VideoStudio or Adobe Premiere Elements. All of these are under $99.
4. Hello, I have an interest to learn how to create good slides videos like this one
http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=N0slq&m=1bfJKSdme5j54n&b=NgknyCbrmWWUsGu7RfIn2w
Do you give training on this? If you do, I would like to learn from you. Please let me know you charges if you do. Best Regards, Gamy
QUEEN: This service will make videos like that one-easily and for free. PhotoShow
5. Is it possible to put a curtain image around a video player? If so, How. Thank You --Mesha
QUEEN: YES! Hire a programmer! But seriously, without seeing an example of what you're trying for I can only offer you this ---> You could create a curtain image and use it as a link to an embeded player. (FreeVideoCoding.com will make the HTML code for you.)
6. I love all the free scripting you offer. I would love to know if you could give me a code that would do the following....
Have an embedded video screen on the page with controls and have multiple pictures of different videos in a list form that if clicked they are able to link and play on the single embeded video screen on the page.
ie. Multiple video's from pictrues in a list to play on the embedded video player on the page without having to open new pages to view.
I am willing to donate money if you could help me out. --Jason
QUEEN: The flash player by Jeroen Weijing supports a file list option. A play list of files. Read about playlist options on this page of his-- http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=Supported_Playlists
