[MPlayer-users] NODAEMON Need video help for fight against software patents

[Robert Michel]

Salve,

next week there will be the voting about software patents in the 
European-parlament. You can help to make PR against it. 
We need 3 DVB-S Eutelsat recordings today.

Especialy someone with experiances with "streamdump" could help,
he could dump all languages at the same time. This is working
- how?


I need your support. Next week will be a voting about software patens in the 
European Parlament. For informing and influencing this voting there was a 
conference about software patents in Brussels last wednesday. I tried to 
record this conference. But more professional was a broadcast of the Press 
conference by Europe by Satellite, the news agencie of the EU via DVB on 
Eutelsat.
I tried to motivate people to record this high quality DVB-S stream, but no 
one did it ;(
But there is a second chance to to it, Sunday 21.09.2003 at 12:00h-12:32h

This broadcast is free of charge, so the FSF and other organisation are free 
to store this on their servers. There is already a streaming server with the 
english verson of the press confernce:
http://www.optimalstream.net/external/ebs/

This is a MPEG4 stream, is Mplayer working with it?
How?


WHO CAN HELP WITH THE RECORDING?
Would be great to have the other languages German, French and Orignal one
as well.

AGAIN, THIS MATERIAL OF EUROPE BY SATELLITE IS FRREE OF CHARGE,
this mean we can used it as we like and store it in high and lo video and 
audio bitrate on servers in the interent to make PR for the right voting 
about software patents next week!

OK HERE IS THE SECOND CHANCE: SUNDAY 21.09.2003 12:00h!!!!!
Inbetween WE YOU THEM EVERYBODY should try to find sombody with a DVB-S card 
and a LNB to Eutelsat to record this on Sunday for shure with all 4 lagnuages 
and with engough redudance!
Also one ore more Servers are needed to store this recordigs.
Someone who will start convert this to smaler bitrate dirctly on Sunday 12:45 
is also needed.

Please forwared this mail and try to find DVB-S users!

PS: I still need people for a video-postproduction as well:


Status Video-Post-Production "Software Patents - It choice is yours"
Von: Robert Michel <news at RobertMichel.de>
An: bxl at ffii.org

Salve,

to look forward what  it would be possibel (beside the mistakes) to do with 
the video:

STATUS:

VIDEO
+ 1,5h video exist 
+ its converted to MPG. 
+ You can find this Draft-video on a a 
    please visit the bxl at ffii.org list archive to find the URL and please 
   download it only when you will help for the postproduction! 
   http://lists.ffii.org/mailman/listinfo/bxl/
+ if you want to post-product this videos I can give you the adress of a  
  second server which my be faster (when you have a fast connection)
+ THERE IS A REBROADCAST OF THE PRESSCONFERENCE TOMOROW

- 1h in the middle part of the conference dos not exist based on a cammera  
  failure
- This video need a coulor corrections
- THE BROADCAST OF PRESSCONFERENCE is in English only

AUDIO:
+ There exist an analog copy of Original, German, French sound
+  David GLAUDE gave the tapes to a friend for audio2MP3 conferting
    (That's the friend that did the recording of JURI meeting.)
    This are now ready and as MP3 on the server.


POSTPRODUCTION:
There three possible Post-Productors:
Jonas Maebe (offerd by his sister - but her hasn`t an internet connection(?))
Jacek Gancarson (slower internet connection)
www.linux-tv.org (contacted by phone and email waiting for a constuctive feed 
  back)

SERVERS:
+ media.ael.be could store the finished videos
- But which format?
- How to stream the videos?

The Greens are going to prepare a reader for Monday and they would like to 
have video on their webpages of the conference, especial with speach of 
Daniel Cohn-Bendit. Till Palme, the Assistant of him has contacted me.

Does somebody has a good contact to the greens in BXL, (also webmaster) to 
clear this over the weekend - how the file for them should look like?

IDEAS FOR CUTTING:
for aktiv people would be interesting to see the whole recording, but for 
political influencing some short clips would be better.

Do you have ideas what to stress with this material?

Would we be able to produce spots with speakers?


Important for me was that it`s it was impressive how mid-size companies are in 
danger of this pantens and how active they are (more than just FSF) and
the Paradoxon of the interest for free markets of small companies and the 
interest of close the market of big one -- like the WTO-conference ;)


PRESS CONFERENCE REBROADCAST BY EBS:
I still unsccessfully by searching somebody to record it digitaly ;(
But a converting of these recordings in 4 languages and diffent formats/sizes
are needed. 
This should be cleard who when will converted this and publish it tomorows
afternoon!
