Hoping is good, making it happen is even better. Does anyone have the

Funny thing. Most video clips from conferences I've seen are fairly
poor quality. I don't know if it's the recording or the compression
after it been uploaded. But these days many phones have pretty good
cameras, like 1080p.
I have some expertise & some equipment; But I plan on getting more
shortly anyways (and could run it too).
Something to consider is encoding the videos and could ship them on
dvd/blueray. Hmmm, with dvd it would have to be avi/mkv's while on
blueray if the options allow could use the player rather than having a
computer file format, then it's only a matter of time before I can have
them all burned.
On the other hand, if we have something like 1000 people wanting discs,
it might be possible to have them made once we make the original (course
the minimum may be 50,000 which wouldn't be an option at this time).
But if we consider almost everyone has the internet and youtube is
available and allows HD and long submissions for this type of stuff that
quickly seems like a silly option.
If we're to film the conference, we'll make it available online for
free. No disks, no DRM, no red tape - that's for sure.
The advantage of paying to be at the conference is, well, being there,
and also the timeliness (we may upload the videos later, which is common
practice).
Do you plan to be there? If we can count on you taking care of
reasonable-quality recordings, please let me know.
