*Video:radio clash goes to africa in this 1 hr 24 music special from ethiopia, south africa and london
Finally have this on MutantPopTV – for the moment because of Vimeo’s current oddness and slowly uploading to other places this is the only place you can see it in full as one file. Crazy but true.
If you encounter jerkiness then it might be best to let it load for a bit and buffer…it’s not a small file and my server’s hamsters sometimes get tired. Also running stuff or downloading in the background can slow down Flash video, as it tends to be more CPU intensive that other sorts of video – there don’t let anyone tell you I’m not informative…
Remember you can share it by the little menu in the corner, but keep a mind for my poor bandwidth will you? I hope to have a full length video on Vimeo or Viddler or something soon, but who knows?
This is the long-delayed video part of RC: 183 – I really really didn’t want to post it as two parts and will post a hopefully higher quality single version as soon as it converts/uploads and Vimeo stops being shit (I may have a long wait).
I could list a long list of how this has been a nightmare,from broken lights and scrambles to get the only worklight in christendom in the fun environs of Leyton, from Adobe Media Encoder taking 7 hours to create an empty file and the scrabble to get anything out Premiere and it’s usual crashes, frequent crashes and comepletely wrong estimated sizes of QuickTime Pro conversions, and now Vimeo is flaking out with it’s conversions stopping at 4% even with a Plus account. I think this’ll be the first and last video podcast, at least til I have money to get new non-shit hardware and software (6 months-1 year+). Sorry but this doesn’t pay costs loads and I haz no money. *shrugs*
Also that means no iPod downloadable version, don’t have the server space without this server falling over, unless someone wants to donate me the money to upgrade libsyn so it can store a 400-500Mb video, it aint gonna happen. And given it’s taken days of QT crashes to get this far I doubt we’d get there anyway.
Anyway I hope you enjoy it, it’s taken FAR too long.
As I mentioned before on the blog I went to Ethiopia and South Africa for 2 weeks, and to honour that occasion and of the 5 years of Radio Clash I resurrected the travel podcasts – with a twist. I shot video on my iPod and camera so there is a complete video podcast of 1Â 1/2 hours and also here is the full 2 hour music podcast it’s based from.
Includes music (and video) from all over Africa – from Ethiopia, South Africa, Nigeria, Malawi, Angola and Kenya, and the first ever solo remix from me, as Fingertrouble – that video will also go live separately, and the track will be available for download.
I hope to have a full length video on Vimeo or Viddler or something soon, but who knows?
