We were able to record that Intro to Podcasting presentation I gave on Wednesday, and the video has been processed and compressed. The audio is a bit wonky because the microphones were fixed and all turned on – and I wasn’t wearing a lapel mic so I get hard to hear as I wander around the front of the room. Next time, I’ll wear a lapel mic, and warn everyone that all of the microphones are on all the time to avoid the paper rustling and desk drumming that got picked up.

Thanks to King for working his video compression ninja skillz on the rough VHS source. He pumped out a small (iPod) and larger (computer playable) version.

    each mic adds ambient noise. you’re right, people should know enough not to tap on mics :P

    sigh…the interweb is still so young. your vid won’t play on RealOne/MediaPlayer/Quicktime/DivX player on my XP kit :(

    they each try to update, but fail. got the audio at least.

    yeah, but there were about 30 live microphones – that’s a lot of gates… It’d be easier to either enable the activation buttons, or tell people to not tap on the microphones…

    avoid the rustling and drumming with a noise gate on each line?
