CSTD Screencast

May 16, 2005

I'm at the Canadian Society for Training and Development Learning Innovations Symposium in Fredericton, New Brunswick. So what do you do when you went to the wrong room and missed a session. You take your microphone and Quickcam and walk around the room interviewing the booth operators. Yes, it's another screencast. This link is to a page with a Flash video - no controls, I lost the controls. I discovered that Swish, which I used to encode the screencast last week, wouldn't convert a file this long. After searching around for a bit, I found an application called Video to Flash Converter that took my 115 megabyte .wmv file and rendered it into a managable Flash file (but as I said, without controls). The video rocks and rolls, but there's some interesting content. I'm still not very good at this, but I'm getting better.

(p.s. you may ask: why would I put such undeniably bad content on my website? Because people need to know the process - it doesn't come out perfectly the first time, there's a learning curve, and even experts struggle with this stuff. You don't walk in just knowing how to do it, and it's important that people see this process, so they know that it's not just them).
