[IMC-Video] imc-video Digest, Vol 51, Issue 20

hi ben,

i think schock's idea of installing filmforge and plumi *now* is a good 
one. we can compare from there, and discuss the functionality that needs 
to be added to achieve what we want with video.indy after that, along 
with who is going to do it and with what resources.

but i'd much rather see something happen than wait until a piece of 
software can do *everything* we want it to turns up. software 
development just doesn't happen that way, you have to get something out 
that people can look at, play with and work on.

the current video.indy software does not have a development future, so 
this rule does not apply here. the functionality we want will not be 
added to it. Drupal/Plone do have viable development communities so the 
chance of getting the software to do what we want after picking one of 
these is much higher.

your questions are very important, but i think these can be worked out 
along the way, we don't have to wait.

indytube has the capacity now for distributed transcoding, according to 
an email from john duda it's primary developer. that doesn't answer your 
question about distributed hosting/serving of the video files, but it is 
one step towards making the software more viable for the indymedia 
network through sharing CPU load amongst servers.

indytube (the transcoding/flash-embedded code) has been implemented into 
Plumi but also into some Drupal sites i believe (and is transportable to 
any CMS with some dev). is filmforge using this schock?

just my thoughts.

cheers,
anna
