Video archive of the US Congress


Short MetavidWiki Extension Screencast

December 18th, 2007

Updated screen-cast available here


you can grab the original xvid/mpeg4 clip (37.9 MB) and if all else fails its posted on youtube

As we work hard towards release candidates of the metavid Wiki extension and the official launch of the metavid congress archive project I thought I would quickly share a little preview of what we are up to. Its a very rough screencast my apologizes for the low volume and rough ending. We will make better screencasts to help with documentation and promotion of features in the future ;)

About MetavidWiki Extension
MetavidWiki is an open source extension to mediaWiki (the software that runs wikipedia) it also builds off of the semantic mediawiki extension. All the video is encoded with ogg theora (the open source patent unencumbered video codec) and the dynamic video segmentation and metadata export is handled by annodex. Many of components are modular and reusable outside of mediaWiki such as mv_embed and the sequencer.

Once the site is launched you will be able to play with these tools directly! If you can’t wait come by #metavid on freenode and I will likely share our development server url with you … but expect to be recruited into documenting bugs ;)
