Encoding for the Next Generation: MPEG-2/H.264/VC-1This session was part of the all-day Next Generation DVD track sponsored by the DVD Association. I talked about the various options for and issues in encoding for high definition, focusing on Blu-ray but also talking about digital downloads. It's apparently become somewhat infamous, with mentions of it over at Doom9 and AVSForum. Although now that I look, they're both from the same guy... Here's the deck: Encoding for the Next Generation.pdf In-Depth Microsoft SilverlightThis was a three-hour media-focused overview of Silverlight and the Expression tools. It took a look at encoding and hosting video and audio assets for integration, and  incorporating those into a Silverlight Rich Interactive Application. I used a shorter version of the same presentation for the "Successfully Set up your own Streaming Media Solutions in a Worship Environment" track, so I won't bother to include both. Here's the deck: In-Depth Microsoft Silverlight.pdf I've been blogging versions of the tutorials. So far I've got: Tutorial 1: Default Settings (no blog post there, as it's just a demo of the pretty-good quality that EEv2 can do without changing ANY settings, automatically adapting to the 480i 16:9 source). Tutorial 2: Movie Trailer at 2 Mbps Tutorial 3: Encoding screen recordings (less the navigation demo in the online version) Now I need to figure out a good .pptx to Silverlight conversion workflow.And if you like this stuff, don't forget about my class at Stanford in June. en Tue, 21 May 2013 21:28:04 GMT Tue, 21 May 2013 21:28:04 GMT Rev9
