My new festival girlfriend talks to you, and gives me some podcast tips. An update on future podcasts.

poly-p man was nice enough to provide me with a script to convert video that I create with recordmydesktop from ogg theora to avi with mencoder like this;

#!/bin/bash
FOO=0
echo "Name of OGG"
while [ $FOO -ne 1 ]
do
   read OGGNAME
   if [ -e $OGGNAME ]
   then
      FOO=1
   else
      echo fail
   fi
done
echo "Name of AVI"
read AVINAME
mencoder $OGGNAME -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -o $AVINAME
echo "done"

In this Screencast I will walk you through the setup of a torrent on a home box behind a nat router.

I set it up using Azureus, and help from frencz 1z, a listener that emailed me after he heard my concerns over bandwidth. I received the best results playing the video with mplayer. If your player complains about the file format just rename the .ogv to .ogg.

The video is best viewed full screen.
