I use my digital camera

My webcam is in another state right now. So I use my Canon PowerShot SD450 to record, and have been putting them up on youtube and transferring them over to Seesmic.

@bear said something I’ve been fighting since I started… so I’ll let him go first.

So indeed, what is ideal for Seesmic? Again, I’m on Linux, so my good image editing software can’t be used, but I recently overcame my problem with ffmpeg not converting the audio when going from AVI to FLV. This is my new string I use, “ffmpeg -y -i MVI_4590.AVI -acodec mp3 -ar 22050 MVI_4590.FLV”. I tried half the day to get a video converted this way to upload to Seesmic. It actually showed that it uploaded once, but then never showed up in my list of videos. So I ended up uploading it to youtube again and pulling it over from there.

Maybe I should call myself the chief betatester, ok, alphatester.
