Hello, Peter, Abhishek, and Kaveh,
I am contacting you because you are all listed in our directory as
volunteers who could offer help with any Ogg conversion needs.
Richard Stallman is going to be giving the convocation speech at Lakehead
University tomorrow and I recently discovered---to my horror---the they
are going to be using a proprietary format.
The person in charge of recording, Alan Auld (<address@hidden>,
Multimedia Services, Lakehead University, Phone (work): +1-807-766-7147),
sent me the following e-mail:

Hi Jeanne;
I've been doing some research regarding encoding the video feeds. Encoding
a recorded stream to the OGG codec can be done without much effort, but live
streams are another story. This is not something we can pull off in a day as
the encoders required are not an easy install. I am open to ideas. Could
you please call me to discuss?
regards,
Alan Auld

This is outside of the field of things with which you volunteered to help,
but I was wondering if you had any suggestions or knew of any quick fixes.
The speech is tomorrow afternoon. If you can think of anything, it would
be great if you could e-mail him.
Thank you very much for your time and for any suggestions.
Sincerely,
