I’m actually not sure why anybody _owns_ that content in the first place. It should be that PARBUL is merely contracted to produce and broadcast it, with the production funded by the taxpayer. As it stands, the major broadcasters have a collective monopoly over the availability of parliamentary proceedings (as nobody else would now be able to install *their* own cameras).

Does 24-bit Dolby E actually exist? If so what produces it? SurCode's stuff can produce 24-bit Dolby-E iirc. Also AJA cards can work with Dolby-E but you have to do it right to preserve the metadata. Telestream's FlipFactory (a bit like also allows decoding and encoding of Dolby-E if you configure your 'factory' correctly, PDF at [1].

Rights, dear boy. and Residuals in particular - Equity MU contracts ensure that every time a drama is rescreened the performers get another set of smaller fees. UKGold when it was free based its whole business model on a loophole in the contracts that didn't envisage satellite TV, so had no requirement to pay residuals to performers so it was very cheap TV to broadcast. Whilst some of the performers benefited from fresh exposure, they would also have liked to be paid for it rather than relying on it bringing in new work because they were back in the public eye. f - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

Re: [backstage] New prototype
Hello Again, I'm not sure if reviving this mail is the right thing to do, but I am doing it anyway. I realized this prototype a few weeks ago now - and I wasn't happy with it at all, especially with the design and the lack of features. I almost immediately decided to re-design and re-code the site to offer more information and features in an easier design, I have done this. http://www.radio1now.co.cc is the site in case you can't be bothered to read the top post again. The new features should be easily recognizable, you can scrobble the artists, search youtube and google plus much more. I sort of rushed this release, because I wanted to get it out of the way before Monday, so I haven't competly bug tested it. If you do notice any bugs - or see anything you would like changed, tell me and will be more than happy to!

Re: [backstage] indefinitely live BBC archive?
Whilst, as already mentioned, rights agreements stop us from doing this for most programmes, there are cases where we can do it. It's even part of the service licence for Radio 4. From http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/assets/files/pdf/regulatory_framework/service_licences/radio/2008/radio4_Apr08.pdf: offer broadcast radio content for download for an unlimited period of time after broadcast, although this must not include unabridged readings of published works nor full track commercial music nor classical music Which allows us to do lovely things such as this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/features/in-our-time/archive/ Cheers Jonathan On 28 Feb 2010, at 17:38, Jonathan Chetwynd wrote: indefinitely live BBC archive? my daughter (age 13) asks: why can't the BBC make some programmes available all the time? regards Jonathan ie there must be a large number of programmes that the BBC creates, and owns copyright permissions. why aren't at least some of these available via search indefinitely, aka youtube/bbc - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

What's most interesting is that as you get more recent they get harder to read, as they started out typed but are now handwritten. People don't have typewriters on their desks anymore...

Re: [backstage] indefinitely live BBC archive?
Hi Jonathan As more of our archive content gets migrated into /programmes, it will start to appear in various places and central indexes throughout the site, including search results. However, that's a mammoth task and one we've only just begun. Other archive content you may have already spotted includes many of the clips on Wildlife Finder and Solar System. There are also also some archive comedy clips beginning to appear on the Comedy site. Sorry I can't give a better answer than that, but we're very much at the start of this one, taking our first baby steps.
