http://ytd-meego.googlecode.com/ could use some help. Actually a lot of help. First I have to document the plan. And get some community feedback on whether it is a good idea. Summary of current thoughts: http://appdeveloper.intel.com/en-us/node/2406 ............... Citizen Journalism with Youtube-Direct for Meego Submitted by Niels Mayer on 24 Nov 2010 22:15:55 This article describes the architecture and design decisions porting the Youtube-Direct[1] handheld application for the Iphone[2]/Android[3] to Meego, using Qt Quick/QML for the UI, and additional C++ extensions for handling HD video capture, geotagging, and uploading to a youtube-direct enabled website. Such sites are primarily used for "citizen journalism" [4] by empowering users with powerful smart phones to collect video and submit content to participipating sites. As http://ytd-meego.googlecode.com is a new project, the architecture choices and prototyping effort to date will be described. The advantages of using Qt's declarative capabilities will be explored, describing the benefits to iterative design and prototyping that Qt Quick can provide. However, since this application pushes the envelope of QML's support for Multimedia capture/preview, the article will also discuss adding QtQuick/QML support to an existing C++ digital camera application/library (such as FCam[5]) which provides a QML-based prototyping platform for smart-video camera applications, such as ytd-meego. Closing the article, some future thoughts on the possibilities provided by the new generation of hybrid video/computing platform like Meego on Nokia N900 or N8: with the veracity of news and video footage always in question, such platforms can make use of existing platform cryptography libraries which can be applied to digitally signing an embedded timecode, geotags and other information embedded in the video. Using cryptography, an initial "chain of custody" on the video could be established, such as a specific certificate issued by the news organization that ensures the platform/software/submitter of the information are not forgeries. By watermarking digital signatures of GPS geotags and a monotonically increasing timecode into the video, edits, photoshopping and omissions to that video become "provable." These are innovative uses of video that can only be enabled by having a complete and robust mobile computing and telecommunication platform like Meego built into the "video camera."
