World: r3wp

will there be a link from the 'devcon' site to the 'live' broadcast 
page?

currently, I uses the link in AltMe to get to it.

Sorry to break the perfect binary power ;-)
And 33 isn't even a prime!!! What are you doing, Kaj? ;-)

Kaj, you're on the same flight as Ernie and Hein, i think.

that number is without (most) spouses. (some spouses are actually 
attending too) we're going to be around 40 at the banquet :)

yeksoon: yes there will, i plan to have it "public" as soon as the 
conference start. i will continue doing tests in the next few days. 
i also found a P2P video streaming solution (SopCast), but it is 
only available on windows and i haven't had any chance to test it 
with my camera yet.

8 days to impact

:)

gabriele, have something for you in a couple of hours

for the streaming part, it will be good if we decide on the format 
to use and have it 'announced' on the site.


that way, we don't have to scrable to get the clients or decoder 
etc on the actual day

yes. if everyone is ok with H.264 (best quality, only QT 7 AFAIK) 
we can use that, otherwise we'll stick to H.263 (should work with 
VLC etc.)

i want to check if sopcast can do anything for us... i'll keep you 
posted.

I think H.264 (QT7) is fine with me.

In fact, I love the quality.

I'm excited and look forward to the broadcast. Has anyone translated 
the time schedule to the different time zones?

The guide was created on 2004 but most info should still be valid. 
Hope it's useful. :)

non potable
 ...

This might be helpful... http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html?p1=157

Brock, perfect. Now I know what time I will be missing everything 
: ^)

Me too.. ontop of the hours of activity I have a busy weekend.  I 
hope the sessions will be archived for later playback as they were 
last year.

Yeah, same here.

FFMPEG claims they support H.264

http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/index.php

So it should work in recent versions of most open-source players. 
MPlayer, VLC, theoretically even Syllable...

Kaj, it does on my system. Of course the container format needs to 
be handled by a splitter from a different source, but that may not 
affect VLC and such.

I think FFMPEG does the .MOV container format

i'll see if latest vlc can play what's coming out from QT Broadcaster.

Graham: "NON POTABILE" is how that is written in italian. :)

I was talking about the MP4 container format. We were talking about 
portable formats, right? H.264 in Quicktime requires version 7, which 
is still a little shaky on Windows, and absent on Linux. MP4 doesn't 
require Quicktime, even if the standard file format is still a derivative 
of an older version of the Quicktime file format.

I'm mostly concerned since there is no chance I'll make it to Italy 
this year :(

about recorded files, they will be standard MP4 files with MPEG4 
video and AAC audio. should be playable anywere.

Yeah, when I saw non potable I thought Graham was making reference 
to not having a place to go to the bathroom.

I get timeouts trying to access the site ... and have over the last 
week I've tried to access it. Any chance of a mirror?

if anyone wants to mirror it. let me know. it's very strange though...

latest VLC does not play H.264 (just tried)

the quality with H.263 is lower... but it works on VLC too.

is there one (cannot feed more than one from here) brave soul connected 
from europe and with VLC or QT?

I have just a few minutes to spare befor I leave to do an install. 
Do you want me to test? Same URL?

rtsp://217.133.2.35/teststream.sdp  , but not sure you can get it 
ok from usa.

Timeout - Live Broadcast Paused.

Sorry. I need to go. Have an appointment in 20min and I am 40min 
away.
