How I was able to convince to move NCERT for Open Video Format #ogg #open-standard-advocacy

Its again a great day at NCERT. I went for educational meeting and training purpose. During the meeting I told to capture videos and put up on web. The Joint Director madam, told that they need some sort of streaming server which NIC cannot provide and huge number of videos are lying on harddisk and taps. After meeting we went to computer room and I shown the if the convert their video in ogg format it can be streaming directly in Firefox 3.5+. Madam was quite happy to see this and moreover the size was reduced after converting into ogg format. I discussed about recent HTML5 development. In Govt sector the problem is about awareness. Nobody know these things exists. Anyways, My next task is convert huge number of Videos into ogg format using some script (uhhh 3 hour task...) and then setup their website.... My next level is to put these videos on with Creative Commons license.

I always have lots of activities for student and many projects, Do contact me to share my work load

Keep reading me... Let me repeat my favorite quote

"Rok sake to Rok lo"

That a job well done!! Now the next goal would be to make the institutes like NCERT more aware so that their site does away with things like flash and asp and doesn't feature notifications like "This Site is Best Viewed in 800 x 600 Resolution and IE 4.0+". The unaware computer users, when would try to view the ogg streams in their archaic IE5 or IE6 and the browser would sit mum, they won't understand the real problem, that is, PLBKAC, and would blame the technology used for the streaming.

बहुत बढिया, जो बात प्रैक्टिकली समझायी जा सकती है वो बता कर नहीं। आप थ्योरिटकली उन्हें लाख फायदे बताते ogg फॉर्मेट के लेकिन बात न बनती जबकि अब बन गई।
