Hello,

 

I like the video too. 

 

May I suggest that the videos would be able to play in the ubuntu-tour for
the user who already has the flash player installed. But the ubuntu-tour
would prompt to install the flash player for those who has not. 

 

The video would also be included for other release like karmic if possible,
as in I am using it. Just 2 cents. Thanks. J

 

Best regards,

Wilson

I want videos. So I Suggest
 - Videos are started with a link (surrounded by a little explanation) on
the bottom of several tour-pages.
 - if you click, ubuntu-tour opens a local url in a new firefox-window.
 - Videos are played in Flash-Format, because firefox 4 with webm-feature is
still beta
 - If ubuntu-tour is released for Natty, we can use the build in player

 The flash player needs to be installed, therefore we have several
possibilities:
 - flashplayer is a dependency of ubuntu-tour package
 - button in ubuntu-tour to install flash-player via atp
 - tutorial in ubuntu-tour how to install flash-player
 - trust firefox: firefox leads the user to install the flashplayer
 
Or:
 - Don't include videos for the maverick release, because there won't be
many people going through the tour.
 - Therefore waiting for Natty which includes firefox 4. With natty we won't
have any player problem

Using the html5 video tag is possible.

Also playing from youtube is possible without flash, maybe it is even
possible to use the webm version from youtube but i don't know.

I think we should use streaming, but make the tour usable without the
videos.

What about streaming Videos using popular internet video platforms? We can
use html. Mayby the webkitview can handle html5 video-tags? Maybe there is a
way to play videos from youtube without installed flashplayer?
I think wasting hundreds of megabytes of disk space for videos is silly if
users never watch them.
Or there will be additional ubuntutour-screencasts-en packages for each
language.

But using videos is a great idea!

So each language need it's screenshots. Than I have a problem, because Dutch
isn't included on the live-cd, so I need a DVD with all languages. And if
you want videos, in all language to, then all videos are slightly different.

but here is another online screen application: http://www.screentoaster.com/

We'll probably have a few vidoes by the finish.
Tour size we can probably handle. Most likely, the tour, or at least the
images, will be downloaded upon install instead of pre-installed. We'll have
to do something of the sort, since each language will need its screenshots
in a package (ubuntu-tour-screenshots_es, ubuntu-tour-screenshots_fr, etc).

I like the progress we have made already.

But, my initial thoughts for a tour application were some sort of
picture and video howto's.
Texts are always needed and pictures too.
but I do hope we can do some videos too.

Looking at the size of pictures we have already
I wonder if some of that can be made automatically,
this would reduce the amount of files in the package.
but this may be wishful thinking...
