The issue is not of quality, but of the format itself.
OGV is an open format, and hence all videos on the Commons are also in the
OGV format. Correspondingly, all audio is used in OGG.

Srikanth,
The Theora (.ogv) format you are talking about, I don't think has a good
quality, instead we should use Matroska (.mkv).

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?

these efforts should be combined.

India (e.g Pune, Bangalore and Mumbai community) we
can ask the
community
members say it altogether aloud apart from one/two community members
speaking in their own language. I will be posting the details in the
community village pumps, you are allowed to send as many people's
footage as
you can provided the video and audio quality are reasonable good. We
will be
collecting footage from all the communities and do a post production.
