Waxy.org: Internet Power, Volume 1: Flashback to the VHS-Era Web 1 Citation Lately, I've started collecting old VHS tapes about the Internet from the early- to mid-1990s. While most of these are pretty corny -- think Gabe and Max's Internet Thing -- they also inadvertently captured pieces of the web that don't exist anywhere else. The Internet Archive's earliest snapshots were in late 1996, so anything before that is extremely sparse. The videos, silly as they are, still represent valuable documentation of the early web.
I spent most of the day yesterday working on a workflow to digitize VHS tapes, settling on VCR to MiniDV camera my Macbook Pro with Firewire. These tapes are pretty worn, so the quality's not great, but that almost adds to their charm.
Here's the result: the first volume of a two-tape collection called "Internet Power!" from 1995. I've included some select quotes and screenshots below.

Digitize video for Easter: MAGIX rescues VHS to DVD for enjoyment over the holidays 1 Citation Amazon.de Widgets It takes time to digitize video, since transferring from VHS to DVD is only possible by playing back the entire cassette material. It?s not an absolute must that users watch a 90 minute long film from the first to the last take, but the analog material must appear at least once on the monitor in full length to be completely digitized. Normally, we just don?t have time for this in our day-to-day routine. Why not use some of the spare time over the holidays to do it? MAGIX Rescu, technorati.com

Years after it was originally supposed to arrive, Internet video is here and making up for lost time. Steve Jobs has made it the focus of Apple Computer's new strategy. Nearly every major media outlet is obsessed with figuring it out. And video file-sharing site YouTube, non-existent two years ago, now has buzz rivaling that of the original Napster.
So it makes sense that ad dollars should follow the new medium. Market research firm eMarketer predicts that U.S. online video advertising is expected to total $385 million in 2006, up 71% from a year ago. That's more than twice the growth rate of overall U.S. online advertising spending, which is projected to reach $16.7 billion this year, up 34% from last year. Online video advertising could hit $1 billion by 2010, says JupiterResearch.
But advertisers and Internet video aren't a perfect match yet. The main problem: While Internet users now seem happy to watch clips on their computers--a recent poll says that half of them have done so--they may not be watching the kind of stuff that marketers want to buy ads on. YouTube boasts that it has stored 100 million video clips on its site, but the anything-goes nature of them--home-brewed stuff mixed with clips of copyrighted, unauthorized material--makes some advertisers wary. Meanwhile, professionally produced content you can find at established Web sites has a harder time drawing eyeballs.
"Advertisers and Web publishers have been waiting for consumers to watch--it's been a pretty slow build,'' says Jeff Lanctot, vice president and general manager of Internet advertising agency Avenue A/Razorfish, a subsidiary of aQuantive (nasdaq: AQNT - news - people ). "The interest and demand of online advertisers has outpaced that of online consumers."
It's a point of view seconded by Greg Stuart, the Interactive Advertising Bureau's outgoing chief executive.
"The big stumbling block now is continued consumer adoption of video online,'' Stuart says. "If you talk to the online publishers, they say they cannot get enough video impressions to sell. There's not enough relative to marketer demand.''
Ian Blaine, co-founder and chief executive of thePlatform, a Seattle provider of digital media services says some advertisers have told his clients that they would buy far more advertising if only the clients had enough impressions to sell. It's a problem rooted in both the need to digitize more content as well as in the difficulty of drawing the critical mass of viewers necessary to make major ad deals worthwhile, he says.
"For a big campaign to work, they need 100 million unique impressions,'' he says."That's sort of a bar for it being interesting. There are plenty of people watching video. The challenge is where are they watching it. It isn't a lack of eyeballs but a lack of aggregated eyeballs."
Meanwhile, the relative scarcity of online video ad inventory has caused the cost per thousand impressions to climb about 15% to 20% this year, estimates James Kiernan, vice president and associate director of digital media and innovation at MediaVest USA in New York.
While a 30-second ad during a prime-time broadcast TV show typically fetches a CPM rate of about $20, a 15- or 30-second online video ad currently commands a CPM of around $20 to $50, Kiernan says., blogmarks.net

Plot Digitizer - Math & Science 1 Citation A program used to digitize scanned plots of functional data. This program will allow you to take a scanned image of a plot and quickly digitize values off the plot just by clicking the mouse on each data point. The numbers can then be saved to a text file and used where ever you need them. Plot Digitizer works with both linear and logarithmic axis scales. Besides digitizing points off of data plots, this program can be used to digitize other types of scanned data (such as scaled drawings or orthographic photos)., blogmarks.net
