Fourth Meeting
When: Saturday, Dec 12, 1992, 12:00 noon Where: Cygnus Support offices
Would it be possible to pay someone to video (or at least audio) tape this meeting (& others)--or at least the scheduled speakers? I can imagine privacy concerns... Maybe someone could get ready to do it and then ask the attendees whether it's okay, or under what arrangement. There will definitely be people there with somewhat informed opinions on whether to trust me. This brings up a fun concept: encrypted digital video and audio. Would it be hard to do IDEA encryption at the standard CD rate? There are schemes to compress video to that rate--how available are they? How much investment in equipment and crunch time do you need? How easy is it to interrupt the bit streams in and out of a DAT recorder? How cheap is the decoder? At present I would prefer VHS. from out of nowhere -fnerd fnerd@smds.com (FutureNerd Steve Witham)

I doubt this will ever happen. Videotaping is a hassle, is even more of a hassle when it comes to distributing the tapes, and is very disruptive. People start mugging for the camera, or avoid speaking at all. All in all, a bad idea. --Tim -- .......................................................................... Timothy C.
