Hi,

Just a note for those interested, I've set my transcoding stuff off,
and will be putting them up as soon as that's done - from the view of
release early, release often. Or as r0ml Lefkowitz puts it "get the
crap out there, and then refine" :-)

My estimation is that it will take a day or 2 (solid) to transcode the
whole lot. (looking at the rate of transcode)

This means it'll be uneditted, etc. The talks & tutorials I've got as
videos are as follows:

They're originally captured at 720p30 for those curious, at a rate of
4GB per 54-57 minutes.

Tools used for this are, for those interested in doing it themselves:
    * A small HD camcorder that records to SD cards, borrowed from BBC
Backstage. (Ian F and I share an office) (Model for the curious: Sanyo
XACTI, VPC-HD 1000EX BK)
    * My laptop (couple of years old)
    * External 500GB HD
    * 3x 4GB SD Cards, which needed switching often (many of the talks above
       are in multiple files)
    * 4way gang socket (to keep everything powered)
    * A second hand tripod.
    * I *didn't* use the microphone I had with me due to a horrible
hum it introduced.

Aside from the camera, everything else is just personal stuff, so if
you're wondering "can I do this?", you probably can, especially given
it's all consumer rather than pro kit. (Also, I was on foot/public
transport - never learnt to drive, so if you're wondering "Can I carry
all that stuff around", the answer is certainly yes. Help from anyone
would be appreciated though next time)

Regarding Steve Holden's after dinner talk, I will probably ditch the
video part of that and leave it as just audio, simply because the
video is _so_ shakey. (I left the tripod behind)

Anyway, talks will start going up as soon as they're transcoded. Once
there's more than a handful there, I'll post a link, and there'll be a
link here as well:

Would love to be at the sprints, but I'm back at work...

Anyway, just thought an update might be appreciated :-)


Michael
