Some problem of TimedText namespace
by Shun Fukuzawa 11 Aug '15

11 Aug '15

Hi guys, I made Japanese subtitle for the movie on commons. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/TimedText:Knowledge_for_Everyone_(no_sub… But I encountered 2 problems. * This namespace ignores templates. So I can't put the license template to it. This template is not appeared on the movie. * It ignores also line breaks of subtitle. Especially, Japanese phrases don't have spaces for reading, so it's hard for audience to understand immediately. Anyone has a solution to this? Thanks,

Opinions: Category for video?
by Andrew Lih 28 Dec '14

What are your opinions of having a category for "articles with video" in WP? The one was created for en.wp is being considered for deletion. When the numbers were small, it made sense to try to track these, but perhaps Phoebe's suggestion that it stay a parent category and we label sub-categories may work? What have others in other WP communities been doing? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2014_… -Andrew

Best practices for identifying video in Wikipedia/Commons?
by Andrew Lih 12 Dec '14

12 Dec '14

I'm wondering what people have found to be the best practices for identifying video in Wikipedia articles. A number of issues: - One of the problems is the OGG is a container, so simply parsing article Wikimarkup may not be sufficient to identify video content. - You can go by category, but this is not always fully accurate - Are GIFs that are animated considered video? Some are, and some aren't. Interested in hearing what people think, or whether we have a taxonomy of video types that are well defined. -Andrew

Re: [Wikivideo-l] Mox file format

This is also the basis of the 'DCP' format used for distribution to theatres with digital projectors, so there's simplicity in standardizing that for archival of finished films. Of course JPEG 2000 and MXF both specification with gratis distribution, but I'm not aware of any patent restrictions on implementations. -r

Fwd: license needed for hosting ProRes files?

Wow, it took them over 3 months to *not *answer my question. But, as I am developing on Mac OS X, it looks like there's nothing holding us back to host ProRes files. Now who has a huge server to spare? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Apple ProRes Program Office <ProRes(a)apple.com> Date: 2014-12-03 22:26 GMT+01:00 Subject: Re: license needed for hosting ProRes files?

This would be a ftp server or a similar service. The uncompressed footage will not be played back by the server. For playback the files are client-sided - by the uploader - compressed to smaller and open formats (WebM of OGV) and uploaded separately. Questions: 1. Under the conditions mentioned above, would it be possible to use ProRes as a/the codec to share the uncompressed footage? 2. Is a license needed to share ProRes files? 3. If so, are there solution where this be done without a license? 4. Does the hardware and software of the server affect above?

Results of video-challenge on Wikipedia
by Jesse de Vos 02 Dec '14

02 Dec '14

Hi all, I have written a blogpost about our positive(!) experiences with organizing a video-challenge on the UNESCO World day for Audiovisual Heritage. You can find it here: http://www.beeldengeluid.nl/en/blogs/research-amp-development-en/201412/vid… Most notably, over 400 videos were added to articles within three weeks. We're very open to suggestions how we can improve these type of 'contests' and perhaps there are people who would like to join in for next years' World Day of Audiovisual Heritage (7th October 2015)? :) Best, Jesse -- Met vriendelijke groet, *Jesse de Vos* GLAM-wiki coördinator *T* 035 - 677 39 37 *Aanwezig:* ma, di, do <http://www.beeldengeluid.nl/> *Nederlands Instituut voor Beeld en Geluid* *Media Parkboulevard 1, 1217 WE Hilversum | Postbus 1060, 1200 BB Hilversum | * *beeldengeluid.nl* <http://www.beeldengeluid.nl/>
