Hi Robert,

    is it possible to put the media up on other than Real format?  The Real players, both hd and normal quality, both crash for me on mac OS X 10.6.

I did this dance too... Hmm... Seems the Mac installer comes with some kind of translation tool that's advertised to be able to output MPEG, maybe we can use that to save others the trouble of installing the Real client. 

If I figure out that I can handle the conversion without spending any money, would folks have interest in the artifact produced?

This is a fun talk, I'm only about halfway through it, but I must admit having cracked up when he said, (and I have to paraphrase, because I don't have it in front of me,) "...if we were physicists, and we didn't understand what Newton did [slight dramatic pause] we should be shot."

LOL!

I'd really like to have it in my local disk, and in any format that lets
me pause and resume, or go back to listen to some part again!

It will be uploaded as H.264 and in some Flash format as well. The portal has a slightly old server to run the conversion queue, it usually needs 2-3 days to create the Podcast (h.264) version.

If you are on Linux this might help:
  1. Go to [1] and download the top most RealPlayer 11 RPM package
  2. I guess on systems that support the RPM package format you just have to install that package and find out how to start the RealPlayer. (Skip to step 6)
  3. On Debian/Ubuntu you need to install the "alien" package doing something like "sudo apt-get install alien"
  4. After that you can convert the RPM package into a DEB package with "alien RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm"
  5. Install the resulting DEB package eg. "sudo dpkg -i realplayer_11.0.2.2315-20101118_i386.deb"
  6. Launch RealPlayer (on Ubuntu do "/opt/real/RealPlayer/realplay")
  7. Select the menu "File>Open Location"
  8. Enter "http://stream.hpi.uni-potsdam.de:8080/Archive/HPIK_SS11/HPIK_2011_07_21_01_hd.ram"
At least that worked for me! :)

That would be good. I even tried Win7, and I can't get the Real Media

Drat. Tried to convert this, but I just get a dialog that says "convert only works from a local file." I don't see an option to pull the actual video file down, and IIRC .ram files are like trackers that point at a stream rather than being the actual video data? I have a feeling that the reason I'm unable to do this is by design, but I'm not certain.

I believe it is "by design" of the real stream server and client. But if
the server doesn't disable access from the web server, you can get them.
The http urls are:
http://stream.hpi.uni-potsdam.de:8080/Archive/HPIK_SS11/HPIK_2011_07_21_01_STREAM_video.rm 

http://stream.hpi.uni-potsdam.de:8080/Archive/HPIK_SS11/HPIK_2011_07_21_01_STREAM_desktop.rm 

The smil file is in an attach I just sent to the FONC mail list, you can
get it from there.

Cheers,
Juan Vuletich

If you're using windows, and you don't want to install RealPlayer, you can use VLC on the links below directly...

I believe it is "by design" of the real stream server and client. But if the server doesn't disable access from the web server, you can get them. The http urls are:
http://stream.hpi.uni-potsdam.de:8080/Archive/HPIK_SS11/HPIK_2011_07_21_01_STREAM_video.rm
http://stream.hpi.uni-potsdam.de:8080/Archive/HPIK_SS11/HPIK_2011_07_21_01_STREAM_desktop.rm
The smil file is in an attach I just sent to the FONC mail list, you can get it from there.

This worked for me and VLC works with it. Thanks Juan.

Yes, it would be nice to somehow sync the two videos.

I know administration does understand much about open format, but the
use of Ogg/Theora will just make straightforward the watching of these
videos worldwide, system independently.

Ok, I downloaded the files .rm to my box (Fedora 15 i686) & converted to
mpeg (ntsc-dvd format) with:

ffmpeg -i $FILE -target ntsc-dvd $OUTPUT_FILE

So, I have both files in mpeg format. If someone have a suitable place,
I can upload files so other people can use them. I'm not sure about
copyrights and stuff like that...

Best regards,

Casimiro
