hi Digital Divide Network community -
i've uploaded to the web a rosetime (i.e. video interview) with DDN member
siobhan champ-blackwell, from omaha, nebraska. siobhan is one of the most
active members on the DDN list. this is an opportunity to meet her in person.
i've created a link to her rosetime at http://rosetimes.com
you can learn more about siobhan at her DDN profile
http://www.digitaldivide.net/profile/siobhanchamp-blackwell
the above-mentioned interview is best viewed with a high speed internet
connection. i did post a smaller file -- with a static graphics -- to give
dial-up users a taste of what rosetimes are about.
these quicktime videos are best viewed with firefox, safari, opera or
camino web browsers. you might need to download quicktime (free) from
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download
i've tested these rosetimes on linux systems and they play fine using
mplayer on a fedora core 4 box. these video files also play fine on windows
computers.

btw, on the right side of the rosetimes.com web site i've posted a link to some
quicktime files explaining how anyone can create rosetimes using imovie and
quicktime pro. i've also posted info on the kind of equipment needed to create
rosetimes.
i should point out that you don't even need a digital camcorder to create a
good looking/sounding rosetime. as long as your camcorder has a microphone input
jack, you have the tools need to create a rosetime.
to show the potential of analog-shot video, here's some video i shot a
couple years ago with a donated sony 8 mm camcorder.

if you shoot on analog video format, you do need to convert it to digital
form to create a rosetime. that's not all that difficult these days. many
digital camcorders can perform that function. perhaps you have a friend who owns
a digital camcorder that you can use for the occasional video conversion.
if there's anyone on this list who'd like to try creating a rosetime,
kindly send me an email off-list with the subject: creating a rosetime
