[nabs-l] Recording NABS meeting

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Christopher and listers,

    Why not both. If you can find someone willing to video the meeting and 
activities software exists that can extract the audio from the video 
recording.  This can be saved as an MP3 file allowing an audio-only version 
to be offered to those not wanting to view the video. The "Straight Talk 
About Vision Loss Series" is done that way. Each video episode has an 
audio-only version. I know because I created some of them for the older 
episodes in this series. Sound Forge and I'm sure other digital-audio 
editing programs have this capability giving site visitors the best of both 
Worlds.

    The other consideration is having enough disk space on the server to 
store these files. Video files are quite large running in to the hundreds of 
megs. Audio only files are much smaller. If you wish to offer lots of video 
and audio content on your Web site you need lots of disk space and band 
with.

You don't have to do a video recording. Sounds like all you need is an audio
recording.
