I would just like to say I'm very grateful for the WGs that used Meetecho
to record their sessions. The HTML5 versions works out of the box with no
plugins in Chrome both on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine and Chrome on my
Windows7 machine. The sync of sound, slides, picture and jabber room is
excellent and makes it very easy top follow what's going on. Some other
recordings focus too much on the video of the speaker, where I'm of the
opinion that it's the slides and the sound that is most important, and
current incarnation of Meetecho solves this very nicely.
I applaud these efforts and hope we can end up in a situation where all
meetings at the IETF is recorded in this way.
I would really appreciate if the plenary recordings were not chopped down
is so many tiny pieces. It would be perfectly sufficient if there was
an overview page that gave the time positions of the individual parts.
The meetecho video from the plenary is very close to useless.
One can neither recognize faces, nor mimics of faces on these videos.
Still, because there is video, and body movements are still visible,
the video stream captures attention. But it's disappointing to
keep watching the video and realize at the end, that the video
stream conveyed pretty close to zero information.
Kill the meetecho video stream and make the bandwith avaiable for
better audio quality. ;-)
