Collaborate Using SpinXpress
I've been working on a process for use on the Alive In Baghdad project that will allow us to transfer high quality video across the Internet. In this way, Brian (in Boston) can select 15 - 30 minutes of video and send it me (in San Antonio) in a few hours saving us the time and expense of sending tapes via Fedex.
Basically, the process involves compressing a high bit rate QuickTime movie (2000 - 2200 kbps) and then sending it directly from one computer to another using SpinXpress. I've documented the process, including the compression settings, on our wiki and created this screencast that takes you through the first part of the process; installing and setting up SpinXpress.
The end of my write up on the wiki includes some ideas for streamlining the process that I hope to get worked into new versions of SpinXpress. So I'd love to hear what your ideas are. What problems do you face collaborating with people over the Internet? What type of tools would make that easier?
