Screencast Video Accounts and Testing

[Ubuntu Clips]

Hi all,

Alan, thanks for the meeting notes and I hope that you're feeling a bit
better.

A couple of additional issues that come to my mind:

Google Video and YouTube accounts for the screencasts. It seems to me that
it would be good to have one account in Google Video and YouTube for all of
the screencast team contributions so that users can find them and watch them
in one channel. I've registered some accounts that I thought might be useful
for us: ubuntu.screencast, ubuntu.screencasts, etc. If we agree to go this
route we can use these, please let me know and I can pass along the
usernames/passwords.

Screencast testing. My experience with video conversion for Windows and OSX
is that the process can be a little finicky and lead to mixed results. For
example, although the .avi and .mov files may play under Ubuntu with the
right codecs installed, they may nonetheless *not* play in Windows Media
Player or Quicktime. Given that contributions will be produced using various
tools, it would be worthwhile to test all submissions on Windows and OSX to
ensure compatibility. Does it make sense for us to have a testing (sub)team,
which would include members that have some sort of access to either Windows
and/or OSX?

Cheers,
Michael
