Re: [activities] proposing a talk -HTML5 Media - serving video

Hi Marghanita,

I'd be happy to do just the initial bit. Though I think people will
get a better feeling for the full functionality of online video with
the demos. But I'm sure I can find a way to do 20min with the initial
bit and some select demos, which sounds most appropriate given the
current way in which SLUG talks are run.

There is not much to do on a server - you upload the video and Apache
or any other server supports it, as long as the mime types file is
adapted properly. I can mention this in the talk, too. The problem
about "thrashing" the server is simply the problem that loads of
bandwith is used by videos when lots of people are watching the
videos. The server was responsive all the time and had a very low
load, but was just serving lots of data - as is expected with video.
This is why we need the NBN. ;-)

Cheers,
Silvia.
