Ah.  When I was doing DV capture, some time ago, I found that frame dropping
was pretty hard to avoid.  Even running to a five disk RAID-0 with a gig of
memory for caching I found that none of the common file systems at the time[1]
would robustly keep up.

In the end I found the most reliable "solution" was:

while sleep 1; do sync; done

That works independently of the filesystem; testing showed that XFS hurt less
for other things at the same time, but there was little other difference.

Ugly, but it kept data flowing out smoothly rather than in bursts that tended
to cause frame dropping.  Sadly, given the figures that have shown up in the
current per-BDI flushing work on the kernel it *still* looks like 2.6.30 has
problems keeping a smooth dataflow on create — though that might finally
change in the .31 or .32 timeframe.

Regards,
Daniel

[1]  XFS, ext2, ext3 in all three data modes.

There are a couple of other possible causes:

*as Martin suggested disk isn't keeping up (in the capture - assuming DVGRAB).
Though my experience of capture (Kino/DVGRAB)  is the computer display 
has/should
have lower  priority - so, I have to track the capture on the camcorder display

*I noticed the files on the server are quite large. I've had problems playing
high quality video and suggest reducing the quality to "broadband 320x240"
(audio, which is the important bit, is still good). This may also help at the
server end.

Varying the quality is an output preference in Kino/ffmpegtheora but I don't 
know
the parameters would be if you are using raw ffmpegtheora.

2009-05-31 Thread Martin Visser
Yes, I had the same issue.

I actually found that Movie Player (totem) actually does a better job in
playing then mplayer. (mplayer basically shows garbage/blocks, whereas totem
just does a freeze-frame for a second or two when the errors occur). My
guess is that during the transfer from camera to disk (maybe using dvgrab??)
that video frames are being dropped - possibly due to your capture
workstation not keeping up with the firewire/1394 transfer. The fault-mode
displayed doesn't seem to what you would normally see because of an encoding
issue, but I could be wrong.

From memory, your slides were in PDF. However, slideshare is asking me to
download flash - which I have a  policy of not using.

Following up on the presentation, I have a couple of questions about the
project/plone:
*did the project produce HTML or PDF/Word?
*any strong/week points/frustrations you/your clients found which were Plone 
limitations/features

*does plone provide support for templates (to for example generate HTML tables)

some time soon,, when fancy automatics happens.
If anyone notices odd sequencing in the video then I can re sequence the 
components. The camera gave me really weird numbering of the component 
files, I think I have cat-ted them together in the right sequence, but 
if it is wrong email me and I will redo.
SLUG server seems to be missing storage at 
/home/slug/slug.org.au/root/videos/

Know, the feeling I once went to the effort of connecting an external

recording Marcel Marceau - video without audio is useless.

As with all these things, getting the formula right is useful. I noticed 
the
camera was at the back of the room, perhaps those who have viewed the 
video can

provide feedback on whether this works for them.



side is hard to get speaker and screen together, from the back it is 
lower resolution but workable.
I figure the camera position is close enough to get a reasonable view. I 
am not at full telephoto and have speaker and screen in view. And there 
is power supply. also it doesn't interfere with the limited seating supply.
I want to listen to the speaker, rather than spend all my time worrying 
about camera angles, so I am generic about filming.
Dynamic camera would be better in question and answer, but only if their 
was a runner with audience microphone.
I would like speakers to paraphrase the question at the start of their 
answer, but that is hard for non experienced, and non prompted speakers, 
so often fails.

Next month it will all be different in a different venue.
Google potentially offers some much more exciting video/multiple 
cameras/flash presentation. We may see speaker, with video of speaker, 
image of slides from the laptop, crowd microphone and camera, in a 
composite image; equipment and potential is there in the Google 
building. We will probable just bumble along as usual with what we have, 
pending experience setting up in a new venue, and help on the 
technology. I am told there is a stereo mini-jack microphone feed, which 
is what I need. But later things could be much better. If you can make 
this work then step forward, because it is way over my head.

If you know about flash and U tube then I probably need help.
There are always debates available about free formats but lets get 
something up that is useful for our audience.

I have used a side of room camera position, which worked well. I did try

much success) to pan to members of the audience when they asked questions
- but occasionally randomly panning to the audience - does provide 
variety without

We've got some stuff up at http://mirror.linux.org.au/pub/lug/slug/

Unfortunately, a dodgy audio cable meant that we don't have decent
sound for quite a few talks. That was rectified a while ago, but we
just need to get around to getting them all up there.

As I am attending tonights talk, I will take my camera along. If it is OK with
Jeff and the SLUG committee, I will record the talk and make the video and/or
audio available as an Ogg File.  I am prepared to make the Ogg file available
under a creative commons license, incorporating appropriate credits in the 
footage.
Ofcourse distribution is still an issue...so, offers of servers would be 
welcome.

Personally, I don't think there is much ROI on recording, editing and
publishing video of talks, but I would be interested in other views.

My videos of some non-SLUG talks has been uploaded to youtube.
