At debconf5 we went for quality so we dumped the DV stream uncomrpessed from laptops directly to a LAN server or to an external disk. It was very hard to do two things at once e.g. if you sent it over the network you couldn't write to disk as well, since it would give drops in the firewire dump. The reason we went for quality was that it was decided that the end result was more important than having the stream. With HQ dumps we could do some cutting/mixing afterwards. So no there was no technical reason, well we choose to do it in a way that hindered streaming. With that said I haven't seen any planning for the Videoteam at Debconf6 at all.. But I won't be attending so I haven't paid much attention... So where have the videoteam been hiding? -- /Erik
