Subhashis exactly, you might know this, but Xiph (developers of .ogg /.ogv) doesn't
even endorse .ogv. And .ogg can be used with Matroska. Though I'll convert the videos
in .ogv.

That sounds good Konarak, and apart from the loss of quality most handy cam users might
not be aware of converting them to ogg, but once you convert raw footages to ogg there
will be difficulty to edit, because normally the final avi/mpeg is converted to a open
source format and uploaded in Commons.

Hey Srikanth, that's fine by me, twas just a suggestion, because in .ogv there is loss
of quality due to compression.

Yes, they are also being invited to participated, it's about Indian Editors and Indian
faces.

@Ashwin, the videos you, Nitika and Swaroop are working will be hardcore outreach videos
to teach how to edit Wikipedia.@Konarak, thanks a lot buddy, let us get the footages and
we would definitely seek your support for the post production. Moover, we would be more
than happy if you lead the event to get the videos done in your place from the community
members.
@Srikanth, the final video will be in Commons and obviously with .ogv format. But the raw
footage will be in .mov/avi/mpeg, they are the formats used before editing. After editing
we will convert the final video into .ogv.

Subha,
What about the Indian English Community?
Noopur,
Thanks for the ideas, but one small suggestion. Format- Keep it OGV.
We can't be promoting an open project with a closed format video no?
Konark,
Good to see young brains like you volunteering on this.
Ashwin,
Can I have a link please?

Nitika & MikeLynch & some others have just begin working in this field
and a prototype video on how to create an account has been made. Imho
these efforts should be combined.
Warm regards,
