Streaming coverage on RIPE meetings
Hi, apologies if this is the wrong list to discuss this matter. Is there any way to provide a better video stream at the next RIPE meeting? The current solution with 320x240 WMV1 encoded video makes most slides more or less unreadable, and the audio isn't that good either (according to mplayer 8kHz, but stereo, with some pretty old WMA codec). I'd love to see an unicast video stream with a higher resolution and a better codec (I'm sure I can offer some relays in various locations if needed due to increased bandwidth). Additionally, a medium-bandwidth standard MPEG2-TS stream for distribution in IPv4 and IPv6 multicast would be really appreciated (again, I think I can offer reflectors if needed). Regards, Bernhard
Just out of curiosity - most(all?) of the presentatios should have been available on their own, separate from the *cast? Did you have propblems to access them in parallel or post-factum? I didn't check as I was on-site ... wondering whether Rosie was available for the community at large, while we were at the meeting? Wilfried. Bernhard Schmidt wrote:

Several presentations have not been available on-line during the meetings. As far as I can remember several working groups have been still missing presentations on the website one week after. Additionally, having the presentation is one thing, being able to follow the arising discussions without getting a headache from blocking video and noisy audio the whole day is another. Have a look at the webcast archive on the RIPE website. Regards, Bernhard
