[Audio-video] Stallman recording details

[Elaine Adolfo]

On Sept 10 Dr. Stallman will be speaking at Stanford. We are working  
on recording his talk and I was informed by his assistant to contact  
you regarding advice on how best to make the recording that is good  
for further use.

This is what I have so far:
Recording formats:

Please make sure that your recording is not compressed with a
substantially lossy codec (unless it is an Ogg codec).  If we have to
transcode the file, starting from a lower-quality base will reduce the
quality of the result.

It is best to provide audio recordings in the original recorded sample
rate, up to 44100Hz.  Monophonic is generally adequate for speech
recordings and saves a lot of space over stereo.

For video recordings, please save the master recording, which will
probably be in miniDV format.

Are there other instructions you could provide?
