We at Bristol Traffic are trying to provide shallow entertainment that brings in viewers and will do whatever it takes to achieve that. We believe this will differentiate us from mainstream media in a way we have yet to determine.

]]> Comment on Vimeo for Video by Craig Hellen http://prbristol.co.uk/blog/2008/10/27/vimeo-for-video/#comment-272 Craig Hellen Mon, 27 Oct 2008 17:11:10 +0000 http://prbristol.co.uk/blog/?p=276#comment-272 some good numbers there! I would say that vimeo does not allow HD embedding at present, they are currently using this as a carrot to get people onto the vimeo site. The reason vimeo is now allowing HD is due to them embracing the new capabilities of the new flash player, allowing h.264 videos to be played in their native codec (i.e .mp4). I have not played with flash cs4 yet but in cs3 its a bit hacky to do it, but it's doable. Hot on their heels youtube now allow higher resolution .mp4s to be served up (though not in HD) I have a blog post on how to get the higher quality videos served up on youtube here: http://podchains.net/blog/youtube-now-does-mp4/ Cheereo! some good numbers there!

What is the money going on? The cost of the "child poverty blog" is particularly troubling. I guess if you don't "get" new media, then you'll be prone to letting "experts" talk you into parting with your money. But, really, the minsters should know better by 2008! Blimey!

They are not registered (in the main) on media disks etc. We have (I think) now got a very comprehensive list of all shades of opinion. I see where you are coming from with the Andrew GIlligan and he was very bitter to his arch rival Alistair Campbell and here in lies the point. As a PR you can only hide the truth for so long and telling our right lies will catch up with you at the end of the day (as it did for Alistair in the end). .... Hi Anarchist,
