It seems like more efficient file transfer technology may be about as important to bringing video production and distribution to the masses as more efficient video compression. I'm wondering how much of a difference BitTorrent made in the downloads of the theora sample files. Is there a record of the number of downloads that were made, and the number of Gbytes that were sent from the server

fast enough, and data transfer costs for video servers are low enough, and video codecs such as RealVideo 10 and VP6 are good enough that online video is practical today. For people who already have DSL, cable modem, or other broadband Internet connections, the biggest barrier to their being able to view any movie Hollywood has ever produced simply by pointing and clicking at some link on the

Having built libtheora-1.0alpha3, I tried it out on a 46 second long, 161 MByte raw dv format video clip. First, I copied these lines from ogg-theora-microhowto.html <snip> mplayer -ao pcm -aofile stream.wav -vo null file_to_be_encoded.avi & mplayer -vo yuv4mpeg -ao null -nosound file_to_be_encoded.avi & encoder_example -v 1 -a 1 stream.wav stream.yuv > theora_file.ogg

As far as video playback is concerned, it seems to mostly come down to how the video is compressed - although Gnash (the open flash player) still has a ways to go to play flash media as well as the closed source flash players. For the Colingo activity and library, we've found it very difficult to find optimum settings for flash and instead have decided to go with Theora. We've managed to

The HD video is online at: http://www.dailymotion.com/creative/video/x8a2rm_firefox-in-motion<theora at xiph.org> We have a low-res Theora encoding up to test the streaming in Firefox 3.1 beta 3 at: http://ozprod.com/Firefox-in-Motion.html HD Theora should be available via BitTorrent next Tuesday.

Hi, installing Office 2007 was a breeze, I then added the override for riched20.dll. Word works fine AFAICS except for font anti-aliasing, but that's not crucial for now. Powerpoint can import .wav files but not .mp3 files. More crucially, I'm unable to import .mpg or any other video files. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-470842.html has maybe a similar problem (year-old

Perhaps this is a stupid question, but would it be possible (probably alot of work if possible) to have a bandwith sharing video stream using something similar to bittorrent? Basically, bittorrent but playing the video as it's downloading. Is this possible/feasible or is it just wishful thinking? Paul Messina

Hi everyone, I'm trying to use samba in a small video post production house but we are not getting the performance we expected. Our setup: - CenOS 5.6 x86-64 - samba.x86_64 (3.0.33-3.29.el5_6.2 and 3.6.0rc1) - Intel based server (One 4 core Xeon E5620 @ 2.40GHz, 8 GB RAM) - 4 Intel Gigagit ethernet NIC ports with 802.3ad bonding connected to a switch configured tu use 802.3ad - 8 2TB 7.2

Reviewers who have published comparisons of video codecs recently tend not to publish their source video clip, nor encoded video clips.? It might help promote theora if there was a link we could provide to a nice source clip, only one or two minutes long with a mix of action and talking head spots, with several versions of it compressed in theora format; maybe 250 kbps, 500 kbps, 750 kbps, 1 mbps,

At home I have CentOS 4.4 running on a Compaq Presario with an ATI Radeon 200G video chipset. Naturally, the linux driver support ATI offers are pretty crappy, thus many postings to many web sites on problems and possible resolutions. I forget where, and natually I didn't bookmark it, but there was one web site that provided the exact working solution. From then on, my video support

Hi, This is just a quick note to let you know that we, York Student Television, have just moved our 'Watch Online' section (http://ystv.york.ac.uk/watch/) to Ogg Theora, which means there's a archive of about 7.5GB's worth of content in Theora freely available under a Creative Commons license for all to download. We're a small TV station based at the University of York,

Hello, I hope I can write it to this list. I would like just to remind our offer. We have "academic" connection to internet, so it is possible for us to store/host here large non-commertional videos in ogg/vorbis/theora. Maybe it will be more comfortable for people than bittorrent videos. Wen can provide FTP and HTTP access. share:/data# df -h . Filesystem Size Used Avail

I have a Dell server with four bonded, gigabit interfaces. Bonding mode is 802.3ad, xmit_hash_policy=layer3+4. When testing this setup with iperf, I never get more than a total of about 3Gbps throughput. Is there anything to tweak to get better throughput? Or am I running into other limits (e.g. was reading about tcp retransmit limits for mode 0). The iperf test was run with iperf -s on the

A sample video can be downloaded, using BitTorrent, from www.theora.org. It's in the Contents section on the left side of the page, and labeled "CC spots." What you actually get

I'm playing the "Honey" movie (both Honey-small and Honey-large) and I notice significant slowdown during periods of lots of motion (when the camera shakes, when the first man hops into bed, when people turn around and approach the camera, etc.). The audio plays smoothly all the time but when there is a lot of motion, the picture freezes and resumes when there's less motion.

just to let you know I posted a frontend to ffmpeg2theora and mencoder using the latest kommander. It's still in early developement but it'll get more feature with the time hopefully :) http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=17831 Pat __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

In order to experiment with the theora encoder, I bought a mini-DV camcorder a couple of weeks ago; a Panasonic PV-GS9 for $250. I wanted a mini-DV because it is claimed that capturing video from the camcorder to a computer over a firewire cable results in an exact copy of the recorded video. That was not my experience. The video I captured to my computer over the firewire cable, using both
