Hi Jason,

Thanks! Looks like I missed a great presentation, thanks for the links 
to your slides.

I offered to do a basic edit on the video from the livestream. Francis 
sent me an mp4. I'm using Quicktime to cut it into hunks--can easily 
save as a .mov or export as a m4v. I was aiming to convert them to mp4, 
but then wondered where the files were going to be stored or uploaded...

In addition to this year's livestream account http://bit.ly/c4l13-stream 
I see that there's also http://www.livestream.com/code4lib From what 
others have said on the list it sounds like there isn't a central place 
where video is being kept. For the Access conference in 2011 we put them 
on the Internet Archive: 
http://archive.org/details/DavidBinkleyMemorialLectureembodiedHistoriesTheWeightOfData 
For last year's Access conference in Montreal they put the videos up on 
Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/accesslibcon

I'm not a digital library person (and I know there's a bunch of smart 
folks who work in that area on this list), happy to let others make the 
bigger decision about how we archive conference slides and video.

I want to split these files into the sessions because I want colleagues 
to be able to view some specific talks. Ideally I'd like to split them 
up in a way that's useful for other folks too.

Thanks again,
Tara
