[ubuntu-uk] Thursday night movie

[Alan Pope]

Ok, so it's a screencast, not a movie.

Tonight is "Installing Flash Player 7 and 9 (beta) on Ubuntu".

http://quickones.org/videos/20061109_installing_flash.mpeg (70.8MiB) (ouch!)
http://quickones.org/videos/20061109_installing_flash.ogg (23.1MiB) 
http://quickones.org/videos/20061109_installing_flash.mp4 (12.5MiB) (320x240)
http://quickones.org/videos/20061109_installing_flash_audio_only.ogg (4.3MiB) (no video)

Might need to rethink the mpeg one - it's huge. I'll probably keep it back and not 
distribute it from now onwards because it's useful as a "master" but maybe distribute something 
slightly more bandwidth friendly - or just tell everyone to watch the OGG :) All the videos were 
mastered from the MPEG2 video. 

A longer video this time. Ten minutes. It also briefly covers a little about installing packages 
and a little about repositories. Mostly it's just "getting flash working". I think 10 mins is 
about as long as I'd go for a tutorial like this. Apparently humans can only focus their 
attention for around 7 minutes before tuning ou...   ooo shiny things..

Note I have also made an mp4 version at 320x240 which *should* play on a video ipod or any other 
video player. I don't have one so can't tell if it works or not, could someone else test? I know 
a collegue at work has a Sony phone, and another has a Creative Zen device, so I'll ask them if 
it plays on those.

Clearly scaling 1024x768 down to 320x240 is never going to make for readable text, however with 
the audio it should be understandable, and you can make out what's going on.

Finally there's an audio-only OGG/vorbis version just for completeness really.

I'll upload to google tomorrow because it takes so long and I'm tired :).

Feedback, as ever (positive and negative alike), appreciated.

Cheers,
Al.
