[HacktionLab] Mobile video blogging advice needed

[petespeller at riseup.net]

we did a lot of this sort of stuff from Beijing for the olympics actions.
it was something i wanted to talk to people about at hacktion lab.

one of the systems used was a Samsung Q1 with a normal camcorder through
an analouge usb tv card and a 3g dongle or wifi where available. it's a
bit slow/crashy but you get a better picture than with a phone.

sending an email with video attachment (from mobile phone or

>> Site located at http://forest.lab.obin.org/
>> Send email to mobile at anarchotv.org
>> Then once the email is sent run http://forest.lab.obin.org/cron.php to
run the tasks that would be performed on Cron
>> Once the Cron task is run your video should appear on the front page
first as a download link for the original file and then once the the
video has managed to be converted to an flv file as a click and play
video
>> Current input video file types accepted on the test site (but not fully
tested): avi mov wmv mpeg mp4 mpeg2 dv 3gp 3g2 mpeg4 flv
>> File size maximum on the test site: 16 MB
