Comments on: The Ethics of Screencasting in the Read-Write Web Era http://www.brooksandrus.com/blog/2008/12/03/the-ethics-of-screencasting-in-the-read-write-web-era/ This is the blog of Brooks Andrus. Here, at irregular intervals, you may find digital noise centered around the activities of an early 21st century technologist. I work for TechSmith Corporation, but this web space and the views found on it are entirely my own.

I've previously used the Kimili plugin to embed flash from Jing, but now that I've upgraded to Jing Pro, I can create videos in MPEG4 format. However, few WordPress plugins allow me to embed MPEG4 videos into posts. I tried the Anarchy Media Player plugin, but it doesn't seem to work in 2.7. I see that you're able to embed the Jing videos directly into your posts, with the traditional Jing wrapper. I just want to know how you do this. Do I just copy the code that you took a screenshot of? Is there a way to set that up so that it's auto-generated? You post a lot of excellent resources on your site. I need to look at it more closely. Maybe the comment error I received was a fluke. I'll let you know if it happens again. Also, one nice addition on your excellent blog might be the Subscribe to Comments plugin. Otherwise I'm never quite sure to know when you respond. One other question. To record Jing in HD, do I just make the capture size 1280 x 720 and upload to a video service that renders in HD? I couldn't find instruction on Jing and HD. Thanks, Tom Brooks,

I assume what you really want is to have the player working with thumbnails...that's pretty easy. I use the kimili plugin for embedding Flash content in my WordPress blog. Here's what that embed code looks like for me: http://www.brooksandrus.com/jing2/index.php?name=kimili_embed_code.png&width=779&height=580 @Tom – Are you trying to get Jing + FTP setup, or just looking to host the player (you manually upload the files and copy paste the embed code from previous posts)?

I spent a while trying to figure it out tonight but couldn't get it to work. The video tutorial here http://blog.jingproject.com/2009/01/use-ftp-heres-some-embed-code.html cuts out before the end, and it doesn't seem to work anyway. I'd really appreciate some insight into this. Thanks, Tom Brooks, how are you embedding the Jing videos into your site with the Jing wrapper like this?
