Re: [videoblogging] Bi-Weekly Vlog Videoconference, 8/27/2005, 3:00 pm
As this wasn't part of the topic I did not want to divert the issue. I am wondering. the flash meeting went great for me video and audio and it works well with like single people hoovering around different computers there the headshot is enough. However what if there are 20 people in one room? I would need a bigger picture to see the people all. I can't see where I can change the size of a picture so I can have smaller once for indiciduals joining and bigger pictures for groups on the other end. Do I miss something?

[videoblogging] compression
Hi everybody, I hope this is not inappropriate. I am looking for free (not trial versions but real free) compression tools a) for powerpoint where I include soundfiles and b) for video files I made with windows movie maker for example and a webcam. (or other free tools which can caption webcams) I am moving into doing lot of teaching long distance webcam and /or powerpoint both with voice but I try to get a file of the presentation as a backup to people per e-mail in case like webcam connections don't work... And as I work mostly with NGO's with no money I look for no cost ways. I apologize if this mail is inappropriate Cheers Gregor Dr. Gregor Wolbring webpage: http://www.bioethicsanddisability.org blog: http://wolbring.blogspot.com/ e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Member of the Executive of the Canadian Commission for UNESCO Chair: Disabled People's International Bioethics Taskforce Biochemist at the Dept. of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Faculty of Medicine University of Calgary, Canada Adjunct Assistant Professor for bioethical issues at the Dept. of Community Rehabilitation and Disability Studies Faculty of Education University of Calgary, Canada Adjunct Assistant Professor with the John Dossetor Health Ethic Center, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada Founder and Executive director of the International Center for Bioethics, Culture and Disability Founder and Coordinator of the International Network on Bioethics and Disability http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Bioethics/join Yahoo!

Re: [videoblogging] compression
Dear Jake, thanks 1) in regards to windows movie maker if one wants a decent quality the compression ends up 1MB per minute which is not good enough as talks/lectures tend to be around 45 minutes one can safe on the level of a dial up but there the webcam quality is pretty bad 2) regarding powerpoint yes there are a few powerpoint compressiontools but you still have to pay I look for a totally free one I will look into the producer option ZIPs by now are increasingly problematic as many e-mail recipients filter them out. Like my university sees every zip file as a virus threat and they don't come to my inbox. As I work with many in developing countries the ones I deal with have a computer but they don't have money to buy all kind of software. and I often have to do multi outputs as sometimes I have blind people in the audience sometimes deaf people (that why I have the powerpoint and use the audio to describe what is on the powerpoint). Is open office better sizewise ? Not all of them have fast internet access so webcam is often not an option. But in general I found MSN messenger 7.0 work very nicely to give presentations but for the webcam fast internet access is needed. I might be naive here again if this is inappropriate just ignore it THanks Gregor Jake Ludington wrote: PowerPoint is a little more complicated because the files tend to be bloated to begin with. You can conserve a ton of space simply by using a high compression setting in a zip application. If you are outputting an video presentation from PowerPoint, your can get a compressed video file by using Microsoft Producer instead of creating a compiled PowerPoint deck. The other option here would be to purchase one of the many $30 apps specifically designed to compress PP files. Jake Ludington http://www.mediablab.com http://www.podcastingstarterkit.com Yahoo!
