[edit] Link deleted for video file extensions

I tried to add a reference with an external link for a list of video formats by file extension (which I find very useful, considering this isn't already written in the article and was directly linked to the article section I tried to edit) and my edit was immediately reverted by MrOllie, on whose Talk page I can not write because it's protected. Don't you think such a list would be useful? The external link was to an article, on a non-commercial, reference website. What did I do wrong? Yehonala (talk) 14:26, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Example of Video

it seems that the wiki for video would contain an example of a video, or even a few consecutive photos set in motion, like a flip-book. wikipedia abounds with pictures, yet the wiki for "video" contains no videos? YOUareTIGERBAIT (talk) 19:40, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 'Most Video Taped Day

This one line mentions the September 11, 2001 was the most videotaped day in history needs some work...does anybody know why it was so? All I can think of happening that day was this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11_terrorist_attacks But I'm not sure if the attacks could be responsible for increased video capture, and at least not enough to cause a record. In summary, elaborate. I'm curious and incapable of research. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.228.3.53 (talk) 00:28, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] VTR

Meeds something about the 1" vtr format as well...name, anyone???

[edit] VGA

No mentions of VGA?

[edit] Wikipedia video policy

Halló! I am new at Wikipedia. Question: Are there some similar topics for video as for image (Wikipedia:Images Wikipedia:List_of_images ...)? Gangleri 14:04, 2004 Sep 25 (UTC)

Check out the page: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Video_policy --Gary D 20:59, Sep 25, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 360 degree videos

Is there any information around about 360 degree videos? There are already digital camera's that do this, but would be interested to know if such technology exists for video.

They had a "ride" at disneyland that was a 360 degree video. If you didn't already see it... too late... they got rid of it for good reason.

[edit] Video=Videocassette

The article currently says that in the UK the term video is used to refer to a videocassette. This suggests that it is limited to the UK, but I've heard it used that way as well in Southern California. Is there in fact any English-speaking area where the words video and videocassette are not interchangeable? Theshibboleth 22:51, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] VHS "bit rate"

This line needs correcting / removing / explaining: "For example, VHS, with a bit rate of about 1 Mbit/s" VHS of course is an analogue format (and a crap one at that but there we go), so of course it has no bit rate associated with it. Anyone feel like tidying this up? colin99.

That rate probably refers to the amount of digital information in VHS-to-NTSC, NTSC-to-VHS, VHS-to-PAL, or PAL-to-VHS conversion, but I'll try to verify that. The Rod 15:26, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PAL, SECAM and NTSC

The line:

"PAL (Europe) and SECAM (France) standards specify 25 fps, while NTSC (North America)"

is imprecise changed it to what it says for formats Old Analog section although thats pretty imprecise as well

[edit] Film vs. video

The intro and second paragraph say that film is a kind of video, but only non-film formats are treated in the rest of the article. To me (and many others, a quick google reveals), video is explicitly not film. The crux of the definition of video in the first sentence of this article is moving-picture technology for tv or computer monitors. Am I missing something? Is there any reason to define celluloid film as video? ntennis 01:42, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

What other word would you use to include all moving images, both on small monitors and on the big screen ? As opposed to, say, "sounds".

--65.70.89.241 19:18, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

We used to say "motion pictures" or "moving pictures" and you now tend to hear simply "film". But ntennis is definitely correct: the visual portion of film isn't "video"; video is an electronic representation of an image.

[edit] Video Recording + Screencast

Added a Screencast ref to 'See also'. Also I'm concerned there is limited info on 'Video Recording' perhaps with links to decent HOWTOs. There isn't a 'Video Recording' section in the parent page Video, to which 'Video Recording' is redirected. Should there be a separate page (instead of redir) or section for the large topic of 'Video Recording'? Awildman 22:33, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
