Thanks for the going deep video Charles.....order has been restored in the C9 universe and all is well Smiley

Only thing I'm noticing in this video is that the sound volume is really really low....and my speakers have to be all the way up...maybe you could boost the volume on the videos during the encoding process?

Yeah, sorry about the volume. In fact, the mic on my camera basically died during this interview and thanks to our sound guru Michael Lehman (Niner Ultraguy) we were able to salvage this video. So, unfortunately, you'll need to crank your volume, but it is well worth it!

Since this interview, I've gotten a new camera and this sound issue will not happen again (at least not this bad).

Again, Dr. Lehman saved this for us. (We almost didn't release it and were going to start over, but this is a great discussion and we didn't want to lose it)

Thanks for salvaging the video Dr. Lehman and Charles!!!

It's a great video!

Good to know that you realized the issued but that it won't be a common issue with future C9 videos!

Thanks again for another awesome going deep video. Smiley

Great video. Thanks. Smiley

I'm in the minimalist camp. Don't replace my legs!

Hey Charles at the end of the video you said you were at T-minus 7 minutes......it was a great video....but can you just let us know why those last 7 minutes were cut?

Yes. I edited it out because we discussed stuff that is not ready for public consumption at this point in time. Nothing Earth shattering, mind you, but we had to cut it just the same.

Thanks for the explaination. I figured that was what happened.

That got me to thinking....you know what would be cool. On the day that Vista launches Channel9 should launch a series called, "Secret Stuff" where all of the videos of Vista stuff that couldn't be shown on C9 during the development cycle(or that had to be edited out). By that time(the Day Vista launches) most everything will be public and it would be just be a cool "publicity" stunt to drive traffic to the site.

I don't know....the idea just seems really cool....because we'll be able to see everything that you guys were dying to show us but couldn't for various reasons. Just a thought.

Interesting idea, Zeo!

It's unfortunate that sometimes we have to cut out stuff from our content (we really dislike editing not just because all of us are as lazy as Scoble(his words, not mine! He's not lazy...) Smiley

, but because we feel it diminishes the transparent value of the video. That said, we aren't in the business of hurting our business. Make sense? We like to think we can be Transparent and Smart (from a business point of view) at the same time. Some things are better left unsaid and sometimes when they are said during one of our unscripted, unrehearsed interviews, well, we just have to do a little editing.

I like the idea of after ship "bloopers", if you will. Good thinking, Zeo!
