Wanna work together, latest Creative Commons promotional video
Looking at my TechTalks Tagcloud, I just discovered this talk by Mike Linksvayer (CTO of Creative Commons). In it was this unreleased 3 minute video: Wanna work together, CC promotional video to be released in november 2006 [10 MiB], Creative Commons Attribution licence 2.5. I had to extract it, convert it to ogg theora and now you can watch it too downloading only 10 MiB instead of 220 MiB for the whole hour talk.
Update: Mike posted his CC slides online, acknowledging that the text could have been bigger.
Update2: Creative Commons just released the real thing. See their blog for more info.

Good job on extracting the ‘wanna work together?’ video. Thanks.

Thanks, it wasn’t too hard. The licence for the talk was “cc attribution”, so I figure it was ok to extract. This is what I used to do it:
$ ffmpeg2theora cc.avi -s 302 -e 485 -o wanna-work-together.ogg
-s for start time, -e for end time (after some fiddling, got it on the second try).

The irony… it requires flash on their site and it has an add attached with pay-through for them !
I prefer your version. Fortunately the original was CCed ;)

Yeah, their viral marketing plan isn’t taking off at all. Wonder why….
I played with revver a bit but it knows nothing of theora unfortunately.

FWIW the talk moved to http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=9214789446321452386 (no idea why) and there’s now an ogg version of “Wanna Work Together?” available from http://creativecommons.org/support/videos
I understand DVD and source files will be online RSN.
