Welcome to Hacker Public Radio.
|
|
My name is Drupes.
|
|
Today I'm going to be proposing Hacker Public Radio Video.
|
|
So recently, as well as when HPR was being started, some people have wanted to do video
|
|
recordings.
|
|
Now I'd like to propose a solution to this often requested feature.
|
|
There's been many problems that have been brought up about this video idea, and I feel
|
|
I have a solution to all of them, including it in this proposal.
|
|
Now I don't run HPR, though I was involved in the founding.
|
|
And this discussion was going on on mailing lists, on the mailing list, and IRC, private
|
|
emails, other places.
|
|
And I wanted to bring the conversation to the audience as the show is run by the audience.
|
|
Now I'm going to begin with some problems and get your problem solving gears turning
|
|
in no order.
|
|
HPR is radio, not video.
|
|
It's in the name.
|
|
HP TV or Hacker Public Radio Television or Hacker Public Video, whatever it's confusing
|
|
and it screws up branding.
|
|
There's already video shows that people can use, like Hacker TV, for example.
|
|
It's hard work creating video, bandwidth and hosting, to space, it's limited.
|
|
Some are unable to view video on portable devices.
|
|
Video will overtake audio content.
|
|
It's just bad.
|
|
You can get off my lawn.
|
|
Now all these problems are avoidable, even the changes are bad part.
|
|
And there's a lot of positives for having video.
|
|
We can grow our community.
|
|
More topics are accessible, lots of things that I want to do.
|
|
I really been trying to figure out how to do in video for like years now, or trying to
|
|
do an audio for years now.
|
|
More interesting content can be produced.
|
|
You know, a capture of a screen session is really, really boring in audio, but could
|
|
be somewhat exciting in video.
|
|
You could see more of my pretty face because I would like to do a lot of these videos.
|
|
And it's also easier to have our video content syndicated through other blogs and things
|
|
like that.
|
|
Like Make Magazine doesn't really, or makes blogs, excuse me, doesn't really say, hey, listen
|
|
to this audio somewhere.
|
|
And say, look at this cool video of somebody doing this.
|
|
And I'd like to have more, hey, look at this cool video that was HPR content.
|
|
So anyway, that was a long way of getting my proposal.
|
|
Now I think we should definitely release video under the HPR brand.
|
|
Here's the kicker.
|
|
A regular audio show to accompany the video must be produced and contain different content,
|
|
which means not just the audio of the video.
|
|
So I would produce a video for say about me and my kids shooting off rockets because
|
|
building rockets is awesome.
|
|
Audio for it wouldn't just be my kids sitting there waiting, screaming, daddy, let me
|
|
push the button, and then just like the video would be.
|
|
And so the audio would be different, excellent.
|
|
That's a great idea, Andrew.
|
|
So even if your audio does actually work as a standalone thing in your audio, you'd
|
|
want to say, why don't you go to this link and view the video or you can find the video
|
|
here.
|
|
So right there, your audio is different than the actual audio in the video.
|
|
So yeah, there we go, HPR episode with an accompanying video.
|
|
Now videos should be released on hosting sites like Vimeo or archive.org.
|
|
So that would cover our bandwidth problem and custom URL from hackerpublicaready.org should
|
|
be created.
|
|
So you could see hackerpublicaready.org slash droops kids shooting rockets, whatever.
|
|
This eliminates bandwidth problems.
|
|
It allows audio only people to still have audio content.
|
|
So they're not having to listen to dead space in video when it's just dead space in audio
|
|
in the audio part of the video.
|
|
Man, that sound confusing.
|
|
Everything stays as radio, but some episodes have bonus video content.
|
|
Excellent.
|
|
Now creating videos hard and this will keep it from overtaking audio.
|
|
I mean, really, if every episode had an accompanying video, that'd be awesome.
|
|
Now if people wanted to contribute to existing shows, then they would.
|
|
Community members of HPR want to contribute to HPR and we should let them.
|
|
Come and say, no, we don't want your community content.
|
|
If the community accepts this, I would really like to create a short 10 second intro and
|
|
start creating my first video and I'd also like to help create any code needed to make
|
|
any of this happen and get that rolling.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
So what I'd like to do, we'd like to have some video.
|
|
We'd like to have an accompanying audio that goes with the video and the audio be a standalone
|
|
HPR episode that has that bonus video track going along with it.
|
|
That would be awesome to me.
|
|
And anyway, my name is Drupes and this has been Hacker Public Radio.
|
|
