I envision this as combination of two parts:
- * powerful editing suite running locally to annotate video
+ * powerful video editing suite running locally with annotations
* good web interface with sync between slides and video
1. video file in Ogg Theora format
2. pdf file with slides of presentation
+ 3. create html file with meta-data
-all other meta-data should be stored in git under media/
+All of this is stored under media in directory conference-lecture.
If you have different file formats, go ahead and use ffmpeg2theora:
on the web, oggz tool has chop support, so extracting part of video is
very easy and possible.
+When re-encoding video materials following command line gives more-or-less
+resonable video size while inserting keyframes for nice seek:
+
+ ffmpeg2theora -p padma --keyint 1 source_video.flv

VIDEO EDITING
-I really don't want to learn another set of tools. I like mplayer,
-it works on all platforms I'm interested in (including EeePC and
-PlayStation 3) and i all-ready know keyboard shortcuts for it.

+In fact, with this tool, I need 3-5 times more time to finish material,
and with most video editing solutions available in open source,
I needed at least 10-20 times more time to do anything useful.
Effective subtitle editing requires preroll. This is feature from my U-matic days
because scopes (U-matic video recorders with magnetic tape) couldn't speed up

+This was crucial concept for implementing the following workflow with mplayer:
1. press i to record EDL point (start of subtitle)
2. press i to end EDL (end of subtitle)
3. press , to enter subtitle (usually you want to enter subtitle after end of sentence)
- 4. preroll 3 seconds before subtitle and review it

5. continue subtitling, goto 1
+You can also use F9 to add subtitle (nicely located near i key) or F12 to enter vi

SLIDES

+In presentations which are created using Takahashi method (lot of slides with
+transitions which follow speaker) you might use just add subtitle to mark

+Which in turn is based on jCarousel from

+
+I removed most of nice design, added support for slides and made it

+
+
+Additional media info (author, title, location, date) is kept in hcalendar.html
+using microformat which defines classes. For more info about hCalendar see

+
+TRY IT OUT
+
+Create media/conference-title/www file with source urls for video and presentation
+
+ # install dependecies from Debian packages
+ $ sudo bin/install-debian.sh
+
+ $ cd media/conference-title
+ $ wget -nc -i www
+
+ # create metadata
+ $ vi hCalendar.html
+
+ # create presentation.pdf symlink from pdf file with slides
+ $ ln -s original-slides.pdf presentation.pdf
+
+ # annotate some material
+ $ ./bin/mplayer.pl media/conference-Title/video.ogv
+
+After adding first slide you will get visual overview of all slides
+which is useful when typing in slide markers [42] in subtitles.
+
+When slide reisze finish, you might want to open http://localhost/html5tv/www/_editing.html
+in Firefox (you will have to open it through http server!) and check final result.

+MULTI MONITOR SETUP
+I'm using awesome as window manager, and since HTML5TV uses xdotool to focus between terminal
+to enter subtitle and mplayer, it will switch to same virtual desktop on *both* monitors,
+so it's helpful to start ./bin/mplayer.pl on same virtual desktop at least with awesome.
