[FOSS4G2016] promo video

[Gert-Jan van der Weijden - Stichting OSGeo.nl]

In it's current state the promotional video doesn't reach the goals it could
reach. I can image a lot of viewers don't watch it until the end, because of
the bandwidth bumps.
Which is a pity, since the video itself is absolutely brilliant!

Whether this het solved by a) creating a lowres-version or b) hosting at
Vimeo / YouTube / Cloudfront doesn't matter to me.


Regards, 

Gert-Jan

Hi Till,

That a lot of users access the video, might be a reason why it's so slow.
But even on not busy times HD video will not stream to Asia
(Japan) without ongoing interruptions for loading.

So you could have various video sizes or you could use Amazon Cloudfront for
example to stream around the globe.

I don't exactly understand what you mean, that the website should be the
first point of contact. Having it hosted with a free (!!!) Vimeo account
doesn't prevent you to embed it in your website. Someone could link to this
URL (http://2016.foss4g.org/files/foss4g/media/videos/foss4g2016_youtubehd-v
ersion.mp4)
and access it directly as well.

Daniel


PS: it took me more than 1h to download the video to Japan and I have fibre
internet connection. I'm pretty sure that it's fast for you ;-)
