Hi all,<br><br>The Theora file are eventually ready. We managed to have Paul Rouget from Mozilla Europe (just next door) to do a nice encoding (well, you be the judges).<br>I copied the files on the usual page:<br><a href="http://firefox.ozprod.com">http://firefox.ozprod.com</a><br>
<br>Originally they were on Paul's personal work directory:<br><a href="http://people.mozilla.org/~prouget/Videos/">http://people.mozilla.org/~prouget/Videos/</a><br><br>Any thoughts about optimising Theora streaming?<br>
<br>Also let me know which native format would be great for you for testing purposes. I believe we were working with ProRes but it's all supposed to be QT hot out from Final Cut Pro.<br><br>Laurent<br>

</div>No need to apologise. It's not your fault that the default behaviour<br>
of some software and websites is poor. I think we needed a reminder to<br>
nag <a href="http://archive.org" target="_blank">archive.org</a> to fix their transcoding system.<br>
<br>
There are a number of people on this list (including myself) who can<br>
help with preparing a good encode for wide distribution. Ideally<br>
they'd want to start with the highest quality source material you are<br>
able to get for them. Feel free to call for help.<br>
