Lots of the talk is about user interface design, and onscreen demos, code walk-throughs, etc., so does it make any sense to record some audio, since the 'podcast' edition won't be given much consideration (as in clarifying what's on the screen, etc.)? A professional presenter might think to do that, but that's not our m.o.. I did a video recording of a meeting once (~2 hours). It took something like 10 hours to edit, balance, normalize, gamma-adjust, figure out compression settings, upload, burn to DVD, etc. and then maybe 4 people took a look at at least part of the video, and the quality was still only mediocre. Statistically, everybody who was interested drove up to the meeting. I'm not saying we shouldn't do it, but that we need to recognize that such things are real work (volunteers are welcome) and that it has to be worth doing. People who know what they're doing are also welcome - maybe there are easier ways to accomplish the same ends, but I doubt we're going to see a professional camera operator with real lighting and RE20 mics at a LUG meeting anytime soon. It would be cool if there was a technology solution, but I'm not aware of any. -Bill ----- Bill McGonigle, Owner Work: 603.448.4440 BFC Computing, LLC Home: 603.448.1668 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cell: 603.252.2606 http://www.bfccomputing.com/ Page: 603.442.1833 Blog: http://blog.bfccomputing.com/ VCard: http://bfccomputing.com/vcard/bill.vcf _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
