BBC R&D TV, Episode 1 (5 minutes)
R& D TV : Episode 1 What is R& D TV? It's a monthly technology programme made up of interviews from knowledgeable BBC developers, BBC project experts and experts from around the world. The programming comes in 3 forms. A brief 5 minute video, containing all the very best bits A longer 30 minute video, containing deeper conversations The Asset Bundle, containing everything we used and didn't use to make the videos above We expect most people will just enjoy the videos every month, so the 5 minute and 30 minute versions will be fine. If you want to explorer more or see footage which didn't make it into the cut for what ever reason, the Asset bundle is your friend. The clips are raw straight from our cameras and although this may be too much for most people, it makes great footage for those who want to remix and mashup our footage with there own or others. Where do I go to download? There are some versions to download here to get you started, R& D TV: Episode 1 - the 5 minute cut in Flash format R& D TV: Episode 1 - the 5 minute cut in Quicktime format R& D TV: Episode 1 - the 5 minute cut in Ogg Theora format R& D TV: Episode 1 - the 30 minute cut in Flash format R& D TV: Episode 1 - the 30 minute cut in Quicktime format R& D TV: Episode 1 - the 30 minute cut in Ogg Theora format There are even more formats available on FTP site . You should download the version which your machine can play safely without additional software. Generally Quicktime plays on Macs, Windows Media files on Windows and Mpeg4 and Xvid versions work across the board. Ogg Theora is a new open codec which you will need software for it to play. We are also going stick the same videos on YouTube and Blip.TV. As for the Asset Bundle , well that's a lot trickier but we're hoping to host it at Archive.org alongside the next generation peer 2 peer service P2PNext . What's the catch? You can watch, rip, redistribute and remix all the contents of this package under a creative commons non-commercial attribution v2 licence . We're pretty excited and ask you to please tell us what you do end up doing with the asset bundle, so we can learn what works and what does not work and fix it next time we release another asset bundle. How do I find out more? Because of the distributed nature of the project, we have much more information about the project, footage and people involved on our own blog sites. BBC Backstage is the developer network for the BBC and is one of the partners in this collaboration along side BBC RAD Labs who create and prototype ideas within the BBC. Both have entries explaining the project and both blogs contain comments for further feedback. Any problems, questions or emails of support with these videos, please contact us on [rdtv at bbc dot co dot uk].
