Got it Phil. Thanks. We've "figured" out Sothink, express scribe, and furry sync. It appears that furry requires a conversion of any flash videos to WMV; not a problem since sothink has a converter program.

Now to do a membership site.

The real issue though is the videos from the CNN's, ESPN's etc. What are the copyright issues with those? Can you post those? If not then you're left with the videos from about.com seemonkey etc. & is there enough for a membership site?

Hi Rick,
Thanks for asking.

You're being stumped by copyright issues to video news stories from CNN and other news outlets.

Don't be.

I made that post in order to give a real-life example of what to offer the over fifty million deaf people, globally.

I personally chose to offer video news items after being inspired by my favourite news aggregator, The Drudge Report:

http://www.drudgereport.com

As you can see all that page is, a vast link farm to great news stories. News columnists and News bloggers fight to get linked by Drudge.

Matt Drudge is one smart cookie of a journalist who a long time ago figured out that all people needed was to read the latest, hottest news.

No cared to go hunting all over the internet for news.

Today Drudge boasts millions of page views daily, and is regularly read by some of the powerful politicians and media moguls around the world.

I figured that I can do a Drudge Report with video, but on much, much, smaller scale...and to narrow the niche even further by offering the service to deaf people.

That's the key right there...narrow niches.

I chose news videos for the deaf, but you don't have to. There are hundreds of other niches to be exploited.

Here are a few that are ready and rearing to go:

!. World Cup soccer. Hurry, kick off begins June 23, 2010.
2. NBA finals
3. Anything to do with the "gommit" (government) as Don Alm would say.
4. Health and Fitness
5. DIY (Do It Yourself)

These are just a few niches to get your creative juices flowing. My buddy Phil can suggest tons more.

Please do not restrict yourself by thinking of offering just membership sites. I started by offering packages of videos for just seven bucks.

Ask Phil whether or not this is true: people are generally lazy to do research for themselves. This is why people like Phil, who have taken the time to learn how to do efficient research, are earning good money.

The internet is a vast storehouse of information just waiting for the smart entrepreneur to get rich.

Go for it!

God loves you.
Brent.

P.S. - Tomorrow you`ll learn why I kissed the deaf market goodbye, and is saying hello to a hardly scratched multi-multi-multi (did you hear me? I said multi) BILLION dollar market.

Talk about taking candy from a baby. Tee-hee.

OK, I'm getting there, thanks for your help. Which "free" program do you use to add the subtitles (.srt) to your video?

At the very least I'm learning a new skill. Who said you can't teach an old dog new trix? Woof, woof!

After trying a number of them, I settled on Subtitle Horse for it's ease of use.

I created my first video! Yea Me! My head is spinning, need more coffee. That was hard work, passing my last kidney stone seems easy by comparison.

I'm gonna try a few more before I go full bore with World Cup videos.

thanks.

I'm workiong on a video too.

SNAFU! A recap before I get to the problem. I'm running SoThink video capturer. It doesn't seem to capture all the videos even when I run the SWF catcher also. No problems, there are plenty to get.

I have four I've downloaded that I've transcribed. Next the flash videos need to be converted to wmv, I am using Freeze flv to avi, mpeg, wmv, etc
For some reason furysinc doesn't recognize flv and I don't know why.

Next I transcribe the videos at 30% speed with Express Scribe and save as txt file.

I had trouble downloading Subtitle Horse, I don't have the programs (.php?) to run it so I am using furysinc. It's fairly easy. This creates an .srt file. The .srt file and the wmv must be in the same folder and have the same name. The tricky part is that I need to be running a submux program in order to see the subtitles.

I have not figured out how to embed the subs into video permanently. So if I were to upload or just email the video the subs don't show up because the other computer doesn't have the program to play subs with video like my laptop. Once I get a handle on this then it's just converting the video back to flash and uploading it to my award winning site.

It's really not bad & hopefully will figure out that little problem b4 the World Cup starts Friday!

I have 4 videos done so far, my wife thinks they're good, I just need to synchronize a touch better. It may be a matter of having longer sentences or more sentences or something. I'm learning.

I love it!
I ab-so-lute-ly love it when people
take action even though they don't
have all the immediate answers.

Good for you, Rick and TW.
(Rick, when I see your name I always think
of the famous Rick Dees

Because you both have taken the initiative
to actually DO something with this, I'll
try to take a little time away from current
project in order to do a quick video showing
how I do subtitles.

Watch for that soon.
