Hi,
Many thanks for the comments guys. I'm bowing out of this discussion now, since it should be noted that _resources_ are the primary issue really. (My understanding is that the Pycon US kit requires more than one or two people trying to film all the tracks in parallel ...) _People_ and kit specifically - in that order. Software is much simpler. (esp given awesome people like yourself and others have been writing stuff :) Since /people/ are hard to come by[1], I'm aiming to adapt approaches from work for very low end kit. In terms of what I'm thinking of is a low end version of a system developed at work called "ingex", which can be found here: http://ingex.sourceforge.net/ But that's completely the other extreme from what I'm thinking. (It's based primarily around uncompressed SD and uncompressed HD, and presenting it in a form suitable for immediate editting in an edit suite.) [1] I had 3 awesome volunteers this year[2] - which meant we had managed to record 1.4 tracks this time vs about 0.8 tracks last year (when it was just me videoing). [2] Marijn Vriens, Richard Barran and Walter (who only gave his name as Walter or WalterPy :-) That said, DVSwitch looks very interesting and very cool - many thanks for the reference - I'll take a look and a play :-) Looking through the FOSDEM slides, it looks like people is a problem for you too, so I'll keep you posted (if you're interested) off list about what I'm doing. Anyway, as I say, I'm bowing out this discussion for now. I'll post links to the videos once they're up. (Probably about tuesday for the transcode & upload to be completed at a guess) Regards, Michael. _______________________________________________ EuroPython 2010 - Birmingham, 17-24 July 2010 - http://www.europython2010.eu EuroPython mailing list EuroPython@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython
