Since it seems to help if you embed a link to a point in a RealPlayer video stream in a .ram file, I added that capability to my Link to a point within a RealPlayer video stream tool. It now provides a ready-to-go downloadable .ram file. Just save it and upload it to your blog and link to it. Should be pretty browser-proof.

I am creating a list of Video Sources: sources of video with information on if you can link to it. Feel free to add to the list!

Reuters Television provides raw, unedited video from their reporters. It would be great if we could link to (part of) a video and provide our own commentary, thus creating personal TV networks. Maybe embedding it in SMIL.

The problem is: I can't seem to figure out how to find the URL of one of those videos. It looks like they're embedding Windows Media Player or Realplayer in a custom Flash wrapper player. Ideas welcome!

Bloglines | News: "Today we added support for RSS enclosures. If an entry has specified an enclosure, a link to the enclosure will be displayed when you view the entry. Enclosures are typically used to distribute large files, like video and audio clips."

An excerpt from a BBC news video (interview with Seymour Hersh) talking about how the torture was institutional: Seymour Hersh 0:22 to 0:44 (Link created by the Link2Real Tool).

I wrote a tool (still quite beta!) to make creating links to certain parts within a video news item easier. I think we need to take back the discussion of news events, and linking to certain parts within video is a part of that that has been missing. Hopefully tools like this will help.

Feedback welcome. I hacked the code together (it's been years since I did any PHP), will refine later. The biggest thing it does is look at the source of a .ram file. I couldn't figure out how to do that manually.

Follow up: there seems to be a strange bug. Will fix tomorrow.
