WordCamp 2007 Videos

by John P.

Welcome to all my brethren that are attending the WordCamp conference in San Francisco. Yes, I’m the guy that’s doing all of the filming today and tomorrow. A few folks have already asked me when the videos will be available so I figured I’d start this thread to keep everyone updated.

There is a considerable amount of editing and converting which has to be done to share the 15 or so speakers, so please be patient with me. I’ll begin the work when I get back home to Dallas on Tuesday, and I’m hoping to begin posting videos by the end of the week.

I’ll obviously post them in a manner that is shareable, though I’m concerned about the quality of the video since sites such as YouTube generally butcher the resolution. I normally use Revver.com for posting video that is a little more critical, but if anyone knows of a site that does a good job with higher resolution videos please let me know who. Ideally I’d post these at 640×480 or higher resolution so the presentations will be legible.

So, if you want to get notification when I start posting the videos please just drop a comment below and I’ll update everyone on the list as I begin.

You can try uploading them to viddler.com. They tend to do a good job with high quality video.

Ok gang, I could use a little assistance with testing…

I just posted the first video here. If you could check it out and give me some feedback I sure would appreciate it. A few things that I specifically need comments on are:

  • How is the sound on your end?
  • How does the video look?
  • Any issues with viewing the video?
  • Do you have any issues embedding it in a post?

Of course any other feedback would be great as well.

My fingers are crossed that everything is OK…

John
