What about (C), putting them up on a world accessible server like
fiasco or IGLU? Neither is a viable option right now due to hard disk
and bandwidth considerations, but that should improve soon.

I'll give you a blanket approval form for my lectures when we meet next.

As I understand, IGLU will get a new server with a huge HD soon, accesible 
 worldwide.
If this does not work out, then I think an even limited web access is 
compulsory, since it will allow people to get the information without 
being dependant on a single person (and bothering him), or being dependent 
on physical access.
After all, most of the requests so far for recorded lectures were from 
people who live relatively far.

  Latest version of mplayer play RM and QT files under x86 GNU/Linux,
although open codecs are preferred, as you are not limited to x86
architecture and proprietary code. Therefore, I recommend opendivx.

RealMedia 9 codec are the best in the market both in compression and

Hi

Publishing the lectures is very good idea.

Maybe the Computer Science Department at the Technion will agree to host the
files (give us some web space) as it hosts the lectures (gives us the room)

It depends on the quality and high quality video will have to be that large.

  I agree. An ogg version of the audio would be very useful to those without
broadband connections. I suggest making two versions - low quality (for
dialup) and high quality for broadband/ISDN.

Why should every lecture be that large? I'm no expert but I've
downloaded realmedia lectures from http://www.aduni.org/courses/java/ at
around 50-100MB. I admit knowing nothing about video or audio codecs.

Maybe you could release audio only .ogg or .mp3 versions on
www.haifux.org. Releasing audio only versions with a tarball of that
lecture's slides could be a low bandwidth alternative.

The people at http://technetcast.ddj.com/ do this often, resulting in
3-10MB mp3 files.

  If Guy Edri agrees to burn the CDs, I see no problem. Guy, did you encode
all lectures already to the PC? If not, I suggest creating VCDs which are
playable on most DVD players. You'll need dvgrab, mencoder, vcdimager, and

  Instead of (or in addition to) using the technion broadcast server which
limits you to streaming only and currently works only inside the Technion
network, I suggest putting MPEG or DivX;) files online for download. Note
that each lecture will be several hundred megabytes, depending on
compression. I see www.haifux.org has nothing close the amount of diskspace
needed to host such a project. Maybe one of the linux-il corporate sponsors
could donate a server/HD for the purpose of hosting these lectures?
