Hey Pine!

I'm looking at streamlining the import/upload process for videos among
other things, and would be more than happy to help with this.

If the files are already cut up into presentation-sized pieces, then I can
handle the batch conversion/upload, and the experience will help me with
designing tools for the next batch! If they need cutting still, we'll
figure it out. :)

If network speeds are a problem for uploading the footage in its current
state, we can work out shipping or otherwise transporting a portable drive.
(20G isn't super huge in video terms, so it might be easiest to ship it to
me in Portland and I'll do the batch-conversion and upload from my end. For
very large collections we may have to ship things to the data center
directly and that requires more coordination.)
