==== Food and Power ====
Here's a stupid movie by SamuelKlein, ArjunSarwal and myself:
- * [[FoodAndPower/FoodAndPowerLow.ogg]] - [16MB] OggTheora stream, quality 5
* [[FoodAndPower/FoodAndPowerHigh.ogg]] - [26MB] OggTheora stream, quality 7
* [[FoodAndPower/FoodAndPowerMed.ogg]] - [62MB] OggTheora stream, quality 10
+ * [[FoodAndPower/FoodAndPowerLow.ogg]] - [16MB] OggTheora stream, quality 5
If your computer cannot play the above links, you should really consider installing
a free media player, or just switching to Linux which comes with all the free media
players and codecs out of the box. Meanwhile, here's a workaround:
- * [[FoodAndPower/FoodAndPowerMed.avi]] - [103MB] original AVI stream from our shitty camera
+ * [[FoodAndPower/FoodAndPower.avi]] - [103MB] original AVI stream from our shitty camera
These also prove the quality of the OggTheora codec. After seeing this, I think
I'd recommend using it for its technical advantages in addition to its legal advantages.
