Dear all,

I’m happy to announce that finally the development contract by VWA has been awarded to Dan Dennedy, lead developer of MLT and of Shotcut. He will develop it on a VM on the Internet Archive cluster. Target date is January. The specs are here:

Marco,

The first objective is to be able to share high quality footage with each other to enable offline cooperative editing. The second would be online cooperative editing. The server that does this would be separate from commons, only final edits would go to commons.

A rough sketch (that I need to update following the discussions lately):

I am having problems seeing a clear line in this discussion. Could someone help me clarify what the archival file format is going to be used for exactly?

* Internal format for the "video server"? (e.g. export rendered sequences to the archival format and create lossy/SD transcodes for consumption (w.commons) and keep the archival format for future/subsequent edits)
* Uploading videos to the "video server"? (I.e. Prior to upload to the video editing server, every video has to be transcoded into the archival format... Needs a lot of bandwith, imo...)
* Storing source videos on the video editing server? (I.e. After upload to the server, every video is being transcoded into the archival format and deleted after successful transcoding)
* Uploading lossless video to commons? (Patent situation needs to be considered...)
* Several of the above and/or other?
