Monday FOMS / Hack Day
Session Facilitator: tracey jaquith ((tra@tracey_pooh) from Internet Archive)
mark boas (jplayer.org) (@maboa twitter)
has some exciting ideas on word-only playback of audio/video; mashing up; editing video/audio using text alone (for example, move words around
ben moskovitz and tracey (@tracey_pooh twitter) and mark talked about "ransom videos" -- sending text of a video script or written work (eg: short story) and then have it play search results for the pieces of text, alternating between speakers/video sources (similar to a "ransom note" of cutup words/text glued to a page to convey a wider meaning)
jan (http://pan.do/ra) gapless playlisting all sorts of awesome stuff
michale dale (wikimedia + kaltura) talked with eric carlson from apple about an iOS way to start buffering a 2nd video while another is playing (this is already possible in browsers using JS and best practices are 2-3 video tags where one is playing, the next clip is loading but not showing/playing). The iOS technique is to use a 2nd <video> tag w/ CSS visibility:hidden and then toggle the two <video> tags' visibility but not quite working yet on iPad.
tom stroll (strollmedia.com) had some ideas for using things like google goggles to determine metadata about each frame of a video as another way to find/match videos to text
george chriss (@openmeetings twitter) -- would like to bump the priority up of this but doesn't directly hold him back now
