Hello all,<br>
<br>
The video recording from this week's talk at IBM by Indulis
Bernsteins is now available for your viewing pleasure from <b><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.plug.org.au/video/2011/">http://www.plug.org.au/video/2011/</a></b>.
Its a 685MB video lasting 1 hour 40 minutes, and is in the Google
"webm" format (VP8 video with vorbis audio) at full <b><i>SD</i></b>
resolution (720x576@25fps). This is the first time we've encoded to
this format, and we're continuing to tweak the parameters for the
encoding, so there is a chance that the video file will be updated
in a few days time.<br>
<br>
Thanks again to IBM for hosting us, to Indulis for giving this talk,
to Tim Bowden for playing director and switching the vision, and
Hugo & Alastair who did cam op work this time around. <br>
<br>
We're desperate for more bodies to get involved with the AV project.
See <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.plug.org.au/projects/video/">http://www.plug.org.au/projects/video/</a> and jump on the AV
mailing list at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.plug.org.au/mailman/listinfo/av">http://lists.plug.org.au/mailman/listinfo/av</a>. No
experience is necessary. Our AV effort is currently based around
DVswitch (which is very good). We're about to spec out the mics
we're after to scale up to multiple presenters and capturing the
audience questions from the room - so if you're into your audio,
we'd love it if you helped out. AV crew meets up once in a while to
get the kit together and try stuff out. If there are other events
you'd like to live stream and/or record, then bring it up on the AV
list. Any PLUG member can borrow the kit and use it (on a
you-break-it, you-replace-it-immediately basis ;) ).<br>
<br>
We'd love feedback on the video as well (note that we're doing ZERO
post production other than encoding). <br>
