Okay thanks for the feedback, it was very helpful. And yes it will be fine to upload the original. I've also made another video, (I added a cc-by bumper at the beginning) about USB Booting (very basic, I know.) I also tried to render the videos in .ogg, but it didn't work for some reason, so they're in mpg2 at the moment. You can download the video original video here: http://www.mediafire.com/?0kbvbxyydw9lds2 And the USB Boot tutorial here: http://www.mediafire.com/?s2gg0w2rjbbnnom
David, you raised an issue about the sound, I'm not sure why that is, as it works fine when I play it on youtube. There is a bit of a stutter right at the beggining, that was just a quirk of the video editor I was using (Kdenlive) The rotating Ben is a 3D model I made on Blender3D. The textures were from photos I took of my own Ben. The blue patch (and there is also a red dot) is just light in the original photo. I might refine the model for future videos. About Joe being the default editor...oops, that was a bit of a mistake. When I was recording it just seemed like the right thing to say :P I might go ahead and change it in the re-upload. Thanks for the correction :) ==jadon On Sat, 2011-06-18 at 13:44 +0000, Wolfgang Spraul wrote: > Jadon, > seriously this is awesome! > I believe this is the first Ben NanoNote tutorial video... > (David: I could hear the audio just fine playing directly from youtube) > > Before giving you feedback on the video itself, would it be acceptable > for you to upload the original (.avi or whatever you had) to some place > and confirm that you license it under cc-by or a similar free license? > That would allow me to convert it to Ogg Theora, upload to the Qi wiki > and embed on pages there...
