Not working at this very moment.
Later it will be incoporated into the Multichat.



How to get the most and best out of Videoblog:


- Service 1 is a videoblog application, however yet in a rough state.
- It works very well and fast, more features will be added soon.
- Next available feature will be an admin page to control the videoblog.
- To have your own personalised videoblog, read below the section:
  "How to create your own videoblog box".


How to use ...
1. Click "Add Comment" to be able to add a videoblog.
2. Click "Allow" in the Flash window to continue.
3. Click the now showing "Tools" icon to set the quality you want.
    Change the resolution to 320x240 to get a decent video quality.
    Set bandwidth to about 60-80% of your max. available upload (KB/s).
    The fps should be sufficient to have a smooth and  fast videorecord,
    but note that this is depending on webcam and environmental lighting.
    Set quality at first to 80, but lower or rise it when needed (max. 90).
4. To record, click the "Black dot", when recording it will be flashing red.
    To stop recording, click the red dot.
5. To set the capturing device (webcam), click right mouse button to
    get into the Flash settings menu. Now you will see there several icons.
    Click the webcam icon to select the capturing device you want to use.
6. Click the microphone icon to set the recording device and recording level.
    Note the level gauge when recording, adjust the slider when needed.
    Best setting at normal speaking level: Gauge should be green-yellow.

Play the recordings:
|< 
  Go to the previous recording
> ||  Play or Pauze (toggle)
>|    Go to the next recording


Note 1:
Several settings are influencing the datastream, like quality, framerate (fps)
and resolution. People may want to use a program like DuMeter to monitor
the used bandwidth. The upload bandwidth (given in Kilobytes/sec) should
not exceed your available upload bandwidth, but should always be lower.

Note 2:
If the recording level is too low, look if there is a microphone "Boost" option.
If available, you may find it in the advanced recording microphone settings
of the audiomixer panel. However, some "boosters" (pre-amps) are adding
a lot of extra noise. Try what works the best for you.


How to create your own Videoblog box:
The "Create new box" should be used when people want to have their own
Videoblog on their internet site. When clicking this, a window will pop-up.
Just add your email address and you will get a confirmation email shortly
after that with a link which gives a personal html webcode. Copy this code
onto your internet site to create your own videoblog. See some Examples
