Fwd: [Olpc-open] Video/audio from David Cavallo's Learning team talk, Friday 2:10pm-3:45pm.

2008-07-13 Thread Brian Jordan
Can anyone convert the .mov to flash video or a Windows Media Player
acceptable format for Jane? ffmpeg or iMovie 08 could do the trick.

I can't do any video conversion until I'm at the office on Monday, and
even then I have an especially busy day.

David -- can you put your slides up online somewhere or send them to
me to do so? One could then use the slides alongside the audio, and I
could then http://www.slideshare.net/ (site for syncing audio and
slides for in-browser viewing).

Cheers,
Brian

I am very happy to receive your E-mail and I would like to see it in
video, but I am unable to get Windows player to accept the codec for
OGG.  If anyone receiving your E-mail, and mine, I hope they can make
the adjustment that will permit all of us to see and hear this
important message.  Thanks very much, JaneB

 Hi friends,

 (a) Video:

 http://dev.laptop.org/~bjordan/davidstalkdirectfromcamera.mov 1.6G

 (b) Audio (better quality):
 http://dev.laptop.org/~bjordan/davidstalk.ogg 57M
 http://dev.laptop.org/~bjordan/davidsTalk.mp3 88M

 I would like to have this edited a bit to (1) merge the good audio
 recordings (b) with the video (a) and (2) cut off when the slide
 presentation portion is over (and it turns to discussion), as I think
 this is a very good standalone education-on-XO explanation. Can
 anybody do this? I don't currently have an editor that can handle that
 .mov format (iMovie 08 can handle that).

 I'd love to see this on Dailymotion / Youtube + promoted!

 Cheers,
 Brian

VLC ...

Hi all.

 Can anyone convert the .mov to flash video or a Windows Media Player
 acceptable format for Jane? ffmpeg or iMovie 08 could do the trick.

Sebastien Adgnot is currently converting the file and putting
it on the OLPC dailymotion space.  That will help overcome codecs
issues or low bandwidth connections.

He'll give the link when this is done.

 David -- can you put your slides up online somewhere or send them to
 me to do so? One could then use the slides alongside the audio, and I
 could then http://www.slideshare.net/ (site for syncing audio and
 slides for in-browser viewing).

That'd be great!

Actually, I found the discussion part more interesting (maybe because  
I am familiar with many of the educational ideas David re-iterated).

But the discussion of the strategic gap in actual software development  
for the OLPC platform should be interesting to any developer (hence  
I'm taking liberty to forward to devel@). Or the plea to focus on the  
needs of the developing countries. Or that we need much more powerful  
creative tools than Pippy, Etoys, or Scratch. Or how we can even  
develop rich activities while the foundations are still being built.  
Etc.

I urge every developer to listen to this.

PS: It would be interesting to know who was present as I recognized  
only some of the voices (unfortunately the camera did not follow  
speakers in the discussion).

Off of the top of my head:

David Cavallo, Cynthia Solomon, Greg Smith, Michael Stone, Joe Feinstein

 (unfortunately the camera did not follow speakers in the discussion).

Sorry about that -- some technical explanation: I was juggling the
conversation-following-re-aiming of a very directional handheld
microphone (which is what is used for the audio recordings) with
occasionally standing up to adjust the camera's shot... which was in
the middle of the conference table and on a photo tripod (which
results in especially especially jerky/jarring pans). I figured it was
best just to leave the camera on David after some initial attempts to
follow the fast moving conversation and resulting in a lot of
this-is-half-of-somebodys-face shots :)

Things that would make this whole process smoother and professional
looking in the future (without having to hire a professional):
* video tripod / arranging the presentation room to be more conducive to filming
 - including placing all likely-to-converse memebers of the
audience in a simple-to-have-in-frame location (or having two cameras,
but editing that can be a real pain)
 - Re: handheld shooting, having cameras on a tripod is much
better for digital compression
* iMovie 08 so we can deal with those bizarre .MOD--.mov files
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Bjordan/1CC_Camera
* unidirectional microphone recording to SD (or a simpler setup than
my current analog mixer/SM-58)
http://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=1916

I welcome discussion, and thanks for the heads up:
