Re: [backstage] RDTV launched
No sound on RDTV_ep1_5mins.ogg until 2:21 when the Beeb micro talk starts?? Also video in wrong aspect ratio had to be set manually to wide-screen. Tried on several players - please advise. Good first effort though. Pity - as .ogg is a better container, shorter download than the .flv or .mov I wanted the 5 min version. This one: http://ftp.kw.bbc.co.uk/backstage/rdtv/RDTV_ep1_5mins.ogg Can anyone confirm which of the others works OK?

We are planning to have even more formats supported in the next week or so. So if Mpeg4 isn't to your taste, you should hold out for the Ogg Theora, Xvid and WMV versions once I crank up my Quad Processor PIII Xeon box :) The 30-minute .mov version seems not to be there? Also, count me in for wanting an RSS feed too. I'm interested, but lazy; I'll be much more likely to watch if I can just subscribe to it as a podcast with iTunes.

Re: [backstage] RDTV launched
I'm ex archives myself (but only from 6 years back- hardly the old school) but I think I an help point you in the right direction. I'm at KW this week, then away for a few weeks, but I can make email introductions. Maybe help with interviews when I get back. a On Fri, Apr 10, 2009 at 12:43 AM, Dan Brickley dan...@danbri.org wrote: On 10/4/09 00:09, Ant Miller wrote: Hmm, I think I know just the people to ask about that one- an episode on metadata, bringing in everyone from /programs to written archives, and not skipping over the inestimable mr Silver Oliver too- that could work! Yes please! I have a bit of time through the NoTube project to help chase interviewees or ideas too. But how far back can we go? Anybody got contacts with folk from the very early days of the BBC archive. When did things first start being catalogued carefully, and how, etc...? Nearby in the Web - http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/catalogue.shtml http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/catalogue.shtml?chapter=5 ... great interviews, but it seems like only snippets from something perhaps longer are online? I love hearing about the example searches people ask of the archive, ... really stretches the capabilities of even modern metadata / search tools, and makes you think about what must be buried in the BBC databases if only we knew how to find it again.

Re: [backstage] RDTV launched
It worked for me but something weird is going on - the audio from the Kevin Rose section was loud and clear and then it suddenly sounds very quiet distant. This is a great direction that the BBC is trying out. I'd like smaller file sizes available and RSS though. The sizes available for this first episode are ludicrous!
