Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any of the talks live because of my job.  
Hopefully more of them will be uploaded somewhere than last year's...

Survey  recordings

If you physically attended LibrePlanet 2015, please fill out the feedback  
survey so the conference can be made even better next year!  
https://libreplanet.org/2015/feedback


There are some recordings available at
* http://mtjm.eu/releases/lp2015/
* http://nixnodes.net/vid/libreplanet_2015/

I believe many of the sessions got recorded locally but have no idea when and  
where the videos will appear.

I should note that using that website to convert a video is SaaSS (Service as  
a Software Substitute), and should be avoided:

Hi tomlukeywood, the conversion to OGG or WebM is quite easy with ffmpeg or  
libav-tools. FFmepg can be found in Trisquel 6 repositories and libav-tools  
is available in Trisquel 7 repositories.


So the command lines for installation are :

- for FFmpeg
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

- for libav-tools
sudo apt-get install libav-tool

Fot conversion the commands are the following, depending on what program you  
want to use.


- with FFmepg

ffmpeg -i filename.mpg final.ogg
ffmpeg- i filename.mpg final.webm

- with libav-tools

avconv -i filename.mpg final.ogg
avconv -i filename.mpg final.webm

Where „filename” is the name of the input file and „video” is the  
name of the output file (you can name it however you want).


Hope that helps.

thanks for the replys i have found transmagedon video transcoder
seems to be working but i am currently on a x60 thinkpad with a 1.66ghz  
single core cpu with 2gb of ram

and its doing about 1mb per 2 minits :(

so i will wait until i get back home with my 8 core i7 cpu
and 16gb of ram!

The version of Transmageddon in Trisquel 7 doesn't support VP9 yet.

Additionally, I'd recommend scaling the video down if you recorded it in  
1080p. This can be done easily in avconv/ffmpeg (read the manpage.)

Pixel count doesn't tells one much about image quality. For video, it's even  
less meaningful. Search about “megapixel myth”. Most cameras store video  
at 1920×1080 or below (even if the sensor takes more samples) which is ~2.1  
millions of pixels.


Bear in mind that pixel count is just the spatial sampling frequency  
(assuming no digital resampling/resizing has been applied). It doesn't makes  
much sense to sample at a super high frequency if the image has no high  
frequency components to capture, if it is overexposed, motion-blurred, full  
of noise, and so on.


For images, a good exposure, a good lens, lighting conditions and sensor  
noise have an higher impact in image quality.


There is no point in worrying about how many megapixels your camera has if  
it's going to down sample and lose 83 % of the pixel count when recording  
video.


Here are a bit of terms to search if you are interested in knowing more:

Fourier transform
Modulation transfer function
Image noise
Focus
Diffraction
Circle of confusion
Depth of field
Exposure
Aperture
Vignetting
Chromatic aberration
Optical aberration
Sensor size
JPEG artifact

Regards.

libreplanet was very good i flashed my x200 (that i got from the fsf store)  
with a beaglebone

or someone else showed me how to do it

there were lots of good talks that were recorded and i assume will soon be  
uploaded

but i missed the icecat talk as i was flashing libreboot :(

i diddnt go to the party venu as i was way to tired partly due to jet lag

but i discoverd that theres a rely good juice bar near central square,  
cambridge that has awesome carrot and celery and ginger juice!


also remember to remove the 3g modems that come with the x200's
they have direct memory acsess and a propietry os
so it could be a hardware backdoor

also as its a 3g modem its trackable in the same way as a phone is trackable

i gave myn to someone who liked killing them with hammers!

dose anyone know how to convert mpeg-4 to ogv? i tried the ogg converter  
program but i kept crasing and gave this cli error when i tried to convert  
the file:
*** Error in `/usr/bin/python': double free or corruption (fasttop):  
0xb4711790 ***

Aborted

i normally use this website(works without javascript):
http://video.online-convert.com/convert-to-ogg

but the file is 2.9gb making it very hard to upload

are there any alternative programs to the ogg converter that comes with  
trisquel?

I have dropped a mail to Libby Reinish, Campaigns Manager at FSF, asking  
whether FSF can record this years conference for non-recipients.


Actally, last year's Libre Planet conference is available in GNU  
MediaGoblin[1]. So possibly they *MIGHT* use the channel for this year as  
well.


If you plan to record the vedio, use a free media format for that like Ogg  
Vorbis/Theora, Speex etc.

And share it in the community!!

If I were you, I'd share both the MPEG-4 video, and a WebM (not Ogg Theora)  
conversion. VP8 is better than Theora.

why?

also i will share both ogg and mpeg-4 for the unfortunate iexplore.exe/safari

There is a company called Elphel that makes cameras that record in the Theora  
format, but they are very expensive. As far as I am aware, no major camera  
manufacturers make cameras that support that format.
