Hello,
I like the video too. May I suggest that the videos would be able to play in the ubuntu-tour for the user who already has the flash player installed. But the ubuntu-tour would prompt to install the flash player for those who has not. The video would also be included for other release like karmic if possible, as in I am using it. Just 2 cents. Thanks.

So I Suggest - Videos are started with a link (surrounded by a little explanation) on the bottom of several tour-pages. - if you click, ubuntu-tour opens a local url in a new firefox-window. - Videos are played in Flash-Format, because firefox 4 with webm-feature is still beta - If ubuntu-tour is released for Natty, we can use the build in player The flash player needs to be installed, therefore we have several possibilities: - flashplayer is a dependency of ubuntu-tour package - button in ubuntu-tour to install flash-player via atp - tutorial in ubuntu-tour how to install flash-player - trust firefox: firefox leads the user to install the flashplayer Or: - Don't include videos for the maverick release, because there won't be many people going through the tour. - Therefore waiting for Natty which includes firefox 4. With natty we won't have any player problem On 23.09.2010 08:26, Silas Lenz wrote: Using the html5 video tag is possible. Also playing from youtube is possible without flash, maybe it is even possible to use the webm version from youtube but i don't know. I think we should use streaming, but make the tour usable without the videos.

Mayby the webkitview can handle html5 video-tags? Maybe there is a way to play videos from youtube without installed flashplayer? I think wasting hundreds of megabytes of disk space for videos is silly if users never watch them. Or there will be additional ubuntutour-screencasts-en packages for each language. But using videos is a great idea! On 22.09.2010 19:29, Ivo Reumkens wrote: So each language need it's screenshots. Than I have a problem, because Dutch isn't included on the live-cd, so I need a DVD with all languages. And if you want videos, in all language to, then all videos are slightly different. but here is another online screen application: http://www.screentoaster.com/ 2010/9/22 Alexander Lancey <[email protected]> We'll probably have a few vidoes by the finish. Tour size we can probably handle. Most likely, the tour, or at least the images, will be downloaded upon install instead of pre-installed. We'll have to do something of the sort, since each language will need its screenshots in a package (ubuntu-tour-screenshots_es, ubuntu-tour-screenshots_fr, etc).

But, my initial thoughts for a tour application were some sort of picture and video howto's. Texts are always needed and pictures too. but I do hope we can do some videos too. Looking at the size of pictures we have already I wonder if some of that can be made automatically, this would reduce the amount of files in the package. but this may be wishful thinking... 2010/9/22 Jason Cook <[email protected]>: > I aggree that basics are important and if we don't have time for a proper > advanced section, then we should wait. > PS: I love the name Natty too > > On Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 7:27 PM, Alexander Lancey <[email protected]> > wrote: >> >> I think it will be a goal for Natty (I love that name).
