[…] A new section on the newly owned Sony video property Grouper site [Hmm Grouper review] is offering ScreenBites of some 100 movies. The clips range from short to extremely short. Some arguably don’t even qualify as a bite, more like a nibble. […]

It was a Windows client, Doug, which did leave out Linux and Mac users but very few responded with that being an issue. I think it was more about people’s unwillingness to record their voice. A text message is more anonymous than voice. And much more anonymous than voice and video.

Tdavid,

What tech did you use to allow webmasters record and leave audio messages? Did they have to download a client? Was it Java or something else?

Thanks,
Doug

Thanks for the info BT and the tip on the profile, Sean, I wondered why I didn’t see the “checkbox” mentioned in the Help. Guess I’ll have to install that Grouper client after all.

Hi TDavid. Your user profile on grouper.com isn’t public. If you want people to see your profile, you can change that setting in the grouper client. Go to Tools | Edit My Profile and scroll to the bottom. Check the “Show My profile in the grouper directory.” That way if you post more videos, people can easily follow links to other videos you’ve posted.

Hi, Tdavid. I left you a video comment response back on the Grouper site. http://www.grouper.com/GlobalMedia/MediaDetails.aspx?id=1002475&tf=1#cmt

BTW you can take the autoplay off your embedde video thusly:

1. Edit the html of the video clip.
2. Find the text that looks like this in the entry:
FlashVars=”vurl=http%3a%2f%2fgrouper.com%2fflv.ashx%3fid%3d775704%26rf%3d1&vfver=8&ap=1″

3. Change ap=1 to ap=0

Thanks for the nice review.
