Open Source/Open Science Videos
Back to the Open Source/Open Science conference page

The following are real video clips of the recorded portion of the Open Source/Open Science conference. Each talk and question and answer period after the talk was recorded. When converting the video into G2 real player files, the encoder running under Windows NT kept giving random errors which caused the recording to stop. Since the talks lasted on the order of 30 minutes each, I was not going to re-record the whole talk and hope that the software didn't generate its random error. Instead, after each error, I rewound the tape 30 seconds, and started recording from that point on. So the breaks between each one of the parts is due to one of these random errors coming from the G2 player encoder software.

I'm recording the talks a couple a day so they will be made available as the recording process proceeds. This will take several days. I will post e-mail to osos-announce-list every time a new clip is made available.

Finally, we don't have a real player server running on our alpha/Linux system which is serving these videos. This means that the whole file will be downloaded first before being played. (Ugg.) The video clips will be moved to the BNL real player server system soon. An announcement will be sent to osos-announce-list as well.
