BroadSnatching – Get that Content

HOW-TO: BroadSnatching to a Portable Media Center – Engadget – www.engadget.com
From the article:
Getting video on a Portable Media Center is a fairly complicated task, but not because it’s all that hard, it’s just because no one has ever shown folks how. It’s a lot easier if you have a Media Center PC (MCE), but even if you don’t have an MCE, we showed you how to put DVDs on your Portable Media Center when we reviewed the Creative Zen.

BeyondTV – Keeping my eye on this one!

BeyondTV: BeyondTV – An offline internet TV project

This is an undercurrents project to create a real alternative to the centralization of media by narrow corporate power. Its not an Indymedia project as quality control is too much of an issues- TV with out quality control is not open to normal people to watch. Most activist media is made for a tiny minority of popule and is un-intelligible/un-whatebal outside this minority.

The project will work in a number of stages the first being a functional full screen activist TV channel, based on MPG1 and MPG4 content from the current archive of ruffcuts and euro/US Indymedia newsreal CD‚Äôs (we have over 20 hour of programming encoded and access to at least another 20 hours). Secondly stage we add ‚Äúautomatic functionality‚Ä? and some user input into viewing choices. Third stage a re-write to create a decentralized user rated P2P universal TV network when we have good experiences of the idea working in a practical way. I feel it is paramount that we start at the beginning using simple, thus reliable, tools and techniques.

A two-day explosion of interactive sight, sound and technology from the student artists and innovators at ITP.

An oversized Greenwich Village loft houses the computer labs, rotating exhibitions, and production workshops that are ITP — the Interactive Telecommunications Program. Founded in 1979 as the first graduate education program in alternative media, ITP has grown into a living community of technologists, theorists, engineers, designers, and artists uniquely dedicated to pushing the boundaries of interactivity in the real and digital worlds. A hands-on approach to experimentation, production and risk-taking make this hi-tech fun house a creative home not only to its 230 students, but also to an extended network of the technology industry’s most daring and prolific practitioners.
