This may come as a positive surprise to those who have been watching the Apple-Adobe-Flash feud closely.

If you recall, one of the issues with videos on the web is that there really is no single format standard. Flash is about as close to a standard as can be, but with the Apple-gadget eco system refusing to work with it, a big chunk of the web is just not available to iPod/iPhone/iPad owners. H.264 is what Apple and cohorts want to replace Flash with on HTML5 based sites, except there are some major problems with that.

Now imagine a video standard that can be played on HTML5 web sites, but will also work through Flash if so desired, and will be supported by Firefox, Opera, and Chrome almost immediately, with the other browser guys presumably to follow shortly as well. Now imagine this format to look about as good as H.264 video, except it’s free and there are no licensing issues to deal with. Ever.

That’s WebM.

WebM will utilize the VP8 codec, which is a codec developed by the company On2. On2 created the ubiquitous VP6 codec (used a lot in videos encoded to Flash) and was bought by Google a while ago. Now Google has announced it will release this codec for free. That by itself is great news but the juicy part is this:

VP8 (video) will be combined with the Vorbis audio codec and the Matroska container format to create this new web standard, WebM. You’ll notice that all these codecs are free. If you worked with these codecs you’ll also notice that the quality is excellent.

Google also announced that it will begin converting all YouTube videos to this new WebM format going forward. Brightcove is about to do the same. So the largest video site on the planet is moving ahead with this codec. WebM is backed by Google, Mozilla, and a growing number of other big guys. Yes, WebM will be the new web standard.

Except of course now it’s cool to be in porn. I can’t tell you the number of girls (mostly from good families) who want to shoot porn for my clients. Being in porn is the new cool. Except it’s not new at all…

Adult directors and producers: notice how well done the sets are – lighting, staging, costumes, blocking, and audio are all beyond the ordinary porn fare. I dare say some parts actually look damn close to the actual Seinfeld show.

One can tell that these guys actually took pride and care in their work. They realize it’s a different game now. Ordinary and half-baked doesn’t cut it anymore.

New Sensations is the company behind this. They’ve been doing great work for years so I’m happy to see them still in the game and doing well. They acquired a bunch of adult sites and combined them into one massive affiliate program (NSCash). Probably one of the better ones, overall.

Check out the Seinfeld XXX Parody trailer here. Looks pretty well done, doesn’t it?

J-SiN and me had a lot of fun so the interview went  a bit long and it’s broken down into two parts. Part one is up right now.

If you’re thinking of starting to shoot naughty stuff, or are already doing that and need some tips or a refresher or two click on over to SiN 2.0.

While you’re there, download and listen to all the other great podcasts and interviews with some of the smartest minds in the industry. Never hurts to learn a new thing or two, does it?

UPDATE: as of 10/20 the second part is available now too on Sin 2.0. The second part of this podcast deals with proper equipment choices and post-production tips.

From a video perspective it shows how even a very short video can make the hair on your back stand up if done right. Short and sweet is good.

Think about that next time you edit your masterpiece.

Their technology allows video to be manipulated by using still photographs as a reference. This means you can significantly increase your video quality by dialing in the photograph’s higher resolution information.

So for example if you have blown out (ie overexposed) parts, this will help you.

This technology also allows you to mask out parts of the video by creating a mask on just a single frame of the video – the software does the rest.

Check out the video for the demonstration.

I’m really excited about this and haven’t stopped thinking about new possible uses for this. I want this. Now.

Unfortunately no details on when the technology is ready for us is available at this time.

Here is more info on this promising technology.

Please read very carefully and understand that this workaround may or may not work for you depending on your editing program, installed codecs, and other factors. Also, read the Comments for more info.

While working on a new Aziani trailer I came across one of the recent Abbey Brooks videos. I thought I’d share a screen shot of the video with you so you know what you can expect. And another screen shot of Abbey’s fantastic tits, because I’m in a good mood. Hmmmm….Abbey!

(And yeah of course Abbey gets completely naked and does her thing with toys and stuffs nylons in her pussy, orgasms on the Rocker and the Sybian and all that. But I’m not gonna show you that here. Cause I’m mean. Hehehe)
