Do not despair!

    blinkx AdHoc rewards you for sharing videos. Next time you embed a video from a video-sharing site, simply run the embed code through blinkx AdHoc first to start making money. When you add the embedded video, it will have contextually relevant ads placed near or on it. If your viewers click on these ads, the advertiser pays blinkx, and blinkx will share 50% of that revenue with you. How does it work? http://adhoc.blinkx.com/

    Hi Phillip.

    blinkx adhoc sounds wonderful. Thanks for sharing that info. Many video sharing sites have similar programs.

    And yes dear, I HAVE been doing videos a very long time. Since before most of you were born!

    Hi Manolito.

    Interlaced and progressive refer to the technical way in which the video picture is brought to the screen. The frames are interlaced together to form what appears to be one image. In all my years of producing video, this is not something I have ever really had to be concerned with except for having to de-interlace still frames in order to stop them from being jittery.

    The video file format shouldn't be affected by interlacing or progressive. It is a different issue.

    The file format a video is in will determine what kind of software you need in order to play it.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks,

    I am a member of a website that publishes all it's videos in mp4 format, which I don't seem to be able to watch on my PC either through Windows Media Player or Realplayer. Is there something I am doing wrong? Can I convert these videos into .wmv or .mpeg files which I *can* watch?
