We still haven't found a decent tool for recording terminal sessions - I really want something that records text *as text* (better for accessibility, better for rescaling, smaller payload), but (a) nothing I've found does what I want, and (b) it obviously doesn't integrate with classic pixel-stream video, so I'll be happy with whatever's easiest to produce.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

I've talked this over with Will (I've cc-d him so he can pipe up if I have it wrong) before because I was wondering about having a category for Software Carpentry videos. The consensus we reached was to index events versus one-off videos. If you or anyone have a corner case that you think might fit, I'd recommend opening an issue in pyvideo/pyvideo.<br>
<br>
Now on to the next questions.<br>
<br>
For hosting, right now I'd say to host on YouTube and also upload the file(s) to a bucket on the Internet Archive. I have $reasons I can tl;dr if anyone is curious.<br>
<br>
For screen capture and audio,<br>
<br>
I'm going to cc Carl because he knows more about the hardware method than I do. I'm also cc-ing Greg because he has thought about this a great deal.<br>
<br>
Can we fip this list to public so that I can link to posts to people who aren't subscribed? I could link this one to the Software Carpentry list and ask if they have more recommendations.<br>
<br>
For software, I don't have experience with that, but on the Software Carpentry mailing list there was a post about this recently, <<a href="http://lists.software-carpentry.org/pipermail/discuss_lists.software-carpentry.org/2015-June/003148.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://lists.software-carpentry.org/pipermail/discuss_lists.software-carpentry.org/2015-June/003148.html</a>> and as of that post, Camstasia is recommended. I have no experience with it.<br>
<br>
For stuff without sound, I am obsessed with finding tools for excellently recording terminals, I don't have a favorite and I haven't experimented a whole lot. I recently discovered mkcast, <<a href="http://lists.software-carpentry.org/pipermail/discuss_lists.software-carpentry.org/2015-July/003200.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://lists.software-carpentry.org/pipermail/discuss_lists.software-carpentry.org/2015-July/003200.html</a>> which is neat because it overlays characters you type. That's nice for teaching because it shows invisible characters.<br>
<br>
on a tangent, for live casting, I've used ttycast before, which was kickass because it gave a webpage where people could follow along and copy-paste text. but better would be something that allows live casting which displays an overlay of the keys that are being pressed.<br>
<br>
For format choice<br>
<br>
From my point of view,<br>
<br>
1. Anything that you can upload to youtube so that I can embed it in pyvideo.<br>
2. Anything that is a FLOSS friendly format that you can upload to <a href="http://archive.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">archive.org</a> <<a href="http://archive.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://archive.org</a>> or wikimedia commons so that I can provide a link to a downloadable file that anyone can use.<br>
<br>
A nice feature of <a href="http://archive.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">archive.org</a> <<a href="http://archive.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://archive.org</a>> is that you can upload something and it will transcode the heck out of things and you'll end up with all kinds of formats. You might want to do the transcoding yourself in order to get the best results, ask Carl about that because he has a lot of experience transcoding things and picking formats and picking the best settings.<br>

Outside of conferences, is it possible to submit videos one<br>
records of their own desktop? For example, say I want to record<br>
myself going through a tutorial with just screenshare and audio.<br>
How does this work? Will PyVideo host? What software and format do<br>
I need to use?<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I finally wrote a wiki page about how to suggest videos for<br>
<a href="http://pyvideo.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">pyvideo.org</a> <<a href="http://pyvideo.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://pyvideo.org</a>>.<br>

<br>
This goes in a little bit of detail about the type of<br>
information we'd like<br>
about videos.<br>
<br>
cheers!<br>
