Videos and transcripts of the GPLv3 conference, both days

Ciarán's free software notes

I was really glad that a Fellow of FSFE living in Brussels, Sean Daly, was able to come down to the GPLv3 conference and record the whole thing with his camera. The content is important and high quality, and the goal of this conference was to spread information, so it would have been a terrible waste if we were not able to arrange recordings.

Processing two days of video took some time, and during that time, I worked with Giacomo Poderi and Cristian Rigamonti on making transcripts of Stallman and Moglen's presentations. Finally, everything is online:

Please pass these URLs around to mailing lists, forums, blogs, and news sites where you can submit stories. That would be a very useful thing to do. The videos are available by BitTorrent, so bandwidth should not be a problem.

I don't think it's a a player issue. I have tried it with totem, mplayer, kaffeine and codeine and all showing the same behavior. With other ogg Theora videos, e.g. the video from the first GPLv3 conference, i have no problems.

PS: On some videos of the 3. GPLv3 conference i can move forward/backward, for example the video of Richard Stallman.

I'm not sure

I had a similar problem, but I thought it was just a glitch in the player I was using, so I haven't investigated it. The videos were made with ffmpeg2theora.

Thanks!

I have already watched some of the videos. Seems like the conference was a great success. Thanks to all of you who have created this great recordings and transcripts. But why isn't it possible to move forward and backward into the videos? Are there some technical reasons?
