that would rock. don't know if there is a SMIL player for linux, though.
Realplayer8 will (just about) do it. We'd already decided here that we'd
re-record David's presentation (with all powerpoint effects and a
steinway ;-) and use it as an exemplar of fun with SMIL ...
sounds good. question: does "helix code" include support for SMIL?
Don't know.
but I guess if all of us were hacking on all the presentations, it shouldn't take too long....
Hmmmm, does anybody know if quicktime can *save* SMIL? [it can read it, AFAIK]
If you open a '***.smil' in QuickTime Player, you can 'Save As ...' a composite '***.mov' (which optionally includes all it's parts in one file). You /may/ need QuickTimePro to do this. I don't believe this is reversible.
Side Note:
Unfortunately RealPlayer SMIL and Quicktime SMIL use different extensions (and associated namespaces) and are therefore incompatible <grrr!>.
Geeks appear to hate having RealPlayer installed, QuickTime is not available for Linux.
So maybe the SMIL idea was not that great :)

PS. I have sample QT SMILs I made for my students if you want something to play with.
