Thanks. Please let me know the exact URL you had trouble viewing, and double-check the sizes against the index listing on http://download.laptop.org/content/conf/20080520-country-wkshp/Video/2008-05-20/ to ensure you have the whole file. There are multiple versions of each talk, and it's possible that I goofed encoding some of them, but it's tedious for me to view them all (again!) to figure out which one you might have been having problems with. The source DVD seems to be complete, so I should be able to correct any problems you find. If you originally downloaded the files before Tuesday, you might also try redownloading them, as you may have been seeing partial files before then. Finally, the .ppt files posted at http://download.laptop.org/content/conf/20080520-country-wkshp/Presentations/ are in most cases the originals. I converted them to PDF in OpenOffice, but I didn't have time (or the Microsoft software) to verify that the PDF conversions were accurate. In at least some cases, the .ppts seem to have been saved without the images they referenced. If people are willing to do the work to determine exactly which files have which problems (and/or give me better PDF/ogg/swf conversions where OpenOffice/gstreamer/ffmpeg is falling down on the job) I'll pester the people involved for missing bits and update the versions on download.laptop.org. On the other hand, I can't help it if the slides for some of the talks are uninformative =). (Actually, I'm already doing what I can, which is trying to get video to supplement the slides.) Unsplit DVD-format video for Wed, Thurs, and Fri should be ready on Monday (I'm told); it will probably take another few days after that to get it encoded in more viewer-friendly formats. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
