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). Konarak Ratnakar.

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,

Editors "We Edit Wikipedia"
Hey Subhashish, I think it's a great idea. In case people are thinking of recording such a video, I would love to help you edit and here are some suggestions for community members:
- Put it on your next meetup agenda. Do it in the meetup itself
- It could be one single person saying "I edit wikipedia" or a group.
More than 1 is welcome 3) For editing purposes, it is better if you record video in room with LESS noise and MORE light 4) Try and keep video in MPEG, Avi or MP4, so that while editing we don't have to convert and lose quality. 5) You can use any normal digital camera, even your (iphone) camera :P Just try and minimize shaking.
Cheers Noopur

Deal all,
As a part of helping the community to reach out to more people apart from the presentations, handouts, FAQs and mailing list support we also
have
need for more visuals. Audio/Video clips containing Indian Wikipedians sharing their message "I EDIT WIKIPEDIA" or "I EDIT AN INDIAN LANGUAGE WIKIPEDIA" or "WIKIPEDIA IS HELPING ME DOCUMENTING MY HERITAGE" will create impact among people and motivate them to contribute to Wikipedia. Many people use Wikipedia in a daily basis without being aware of they can also [Edit] it, social media, Youtube, mails containing link to such a video can be
used
to reach this message to them. Moreover, such videos which are already there in Outreach (outreach.wikimedia.org) Bookshelf might make some people
feel
it's project being managed by some foreigners. Seeing some real Indians editing Wikipedia with the Main page of an Indian language background will definitely make this message clearer.
If there is a fairly good no of community members located in anywhere
in
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.
