While the code itself is somewhat above my head, the discussion of this specification recalls my recent videoblog/blogpost in which I propose…

A Rubric for Open Source Cinema (beta)

1. Identification of Objects in the Frame
2. Universal Editing Timeline Metadata
3. Timecoded Text Transcription

I found your blog because rektide actually linked me here once he read/watched the full post:

http://quantumcinema.blogspot.com/2009/09/rubric-for-open-source-cinema-beta.html

There’s obviously some criteria missing — these were the ones I came up with in my initial reaction to the http://www.opensourcecinema.org project after watching the film “RiP: a remix manifesto”

Would be thrilled to have your insights on the ideas I am discussing. Up until now my perspective is admittedly coming from a more artistic angle.

I’m delighted to see such a fantastic, comprehensive list! Hopefully there’ll be DOM interfaces for all these features some day; that would be superb!

Chris Double was supposed to be there, but couldn’t make it in the end because he had to make sure the tag support in Firefox 3.5 worked. Congratulations to Chris on this awesome achievement!!!

Since he wasn’t available, we had a combination of Xiph and Annodex developers that know roughly how Ogg Theora support works in Firefox. I counted that as covering the Firefox side of things together with the moral support that we received in spirit.

Technically there were no Firefox video element developers present – we were there in spirit and supporting though

“This meant we had three browser vendors and their tag developers present”

Who was the third browser vendor and video tag developer? I see Opera and Apple mentioned.

Hub, you’re totally right. I have added a PDF for download. Unfortunately there is no slideshare with a non-flash solution at this point afaik.

Oh irony, the slides require proprietary Flash to be viewed…
