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,
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?

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.

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.

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?

Dear Sebastiaan,
Thank you for your patience. We have been inundated with ProRes requests.
If you are developing on Mac OS X, no ProRes license is needed as it is
available on our platform.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Wikimedia Nederland is researching the options to set up a publicly
available file server for uncompressed video footage. 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?
With kind regards,

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
