Hi Stephan

I would like to show my talk ("Selling Pharo-based Solutions" at PharoConf) to my team and enhance it for the next time. Just out of curiosity: are you still working on those videos? Otherwise, would you mind to provide the video file somehow?

Cheers and thank you for your work,

Chris

Hi,

I'm very happy to see that the initiative to make video recordings
of the PharoConf and MooseDay has resulted in so many
screencasts already published. Great work!

And now the first feedback:
- Format conversion: 62 of 72 GB done, processing the whole weekend.
- First 13 minute part currently encoding and uploading.
   Still about an hour and a half to go.
- I would like to receive the presentation files to combine them
   with video.
- Some of the material is difficult to use. Zoomed out too much
   it is difficult to follow the speaker and the beamer screen is not
   readable. Combining a screencast with the video only makes
   sense when zoomed in (talking head size).

Why does this take so long?
- the video is in a format that I cannot work with directly, so needs 
transcoding.
   I have been using VideoMonkey for this, which is based on ffmpeg. I have
   the impression that this ffmpeg is not using the GPU, but only the i5.
   I'm open for suggestions on better software for this in the future, as it 
takes the
   whole weekend.
- I switched from iMovie to Final Cut Pro X. That allows non-linear editing,
   so I don't have to wait for rendering to cut the movies. It remains 
responsive
   even during the format conversion.
- video is much larger than the equivalent length of screencast. That creates
   a upload bottleneck. 13 minutes of HD video is 733 MB. My home upload is
   1Mbps (2 hours), so for uploading more material I'll ask someone at our
   local university.
- I'm spending a limited amount of time during the weekend (and none next week).

Stephan
