Doug,

This kind of videos are great! I would recommend a higher resolution, but not a super high quality version. Perhaps a 640×480 resolution would be enough to appreciate much more the details, while keeping a good BW balance still.

Gerd,

We are trying to determine the best way to make the files available. When the series is done, it should be available in some form for download. Keep watch for it here.

Hello,

can you please put the video files also for download on this site?
I cannot view the video in my browser (probably a firewall issue of my company), but download has worked.

Many thanks - the videos are reaal helpful.

My view concering video size is that “large is better”, particularily when one is viewing computer screens. A flash based streaming option is my top choice from a size / bandwidth tradeoff vantage point. While I’m not an expert, on my own blog I’ve hosted full sized screencasts … while starting to use YouTube essentially for advertsiging and a a “lower quality” version which serves to attract people to the better viewing experience.

Thanks for your efforts.

Andrew,

Thanks for the feedback. The series takes a turn for the more technical starting in part 2.

Since you are familiar with our webinars, how do you feel this compares with them?

Thanks,
Doug

Rich,

This movie was produced at “You Tube” resolution. The small size makes it ideal for embedding into the blog.

Higher resolution would need to open a second window. Do you think that would be OK? I personally like the embedded nature of the video, but could be convinced to make higher resolution one in the future.

This video was made in two stages: First melding the live video with the full resolution screen capture. Second was zooming and panning on the screen capture and bringing it down to the smaller size. It would be pretty easy to put the full resolution video up at the end of the series. Would you want streaming, or download? The download of the full video would be 9GB! It could be broken into smaller pieces too.

Let me know!
Doug

Jiro and Doug,

I find this type of video useful but think it is better placed in the Matlab webinars. I do think your usual videos detailing interesting features and tips work well in a blog though.
