User:Richard001/Commons:Video draft

I think we should have a page about videos called Commons:Video (or Help:Video?). I'm going to try to construct one slowly here and move it to that location when it's worthy of it.

• The importance of video - some things can't be shown with just a static picture. Also, what shouldn't be added as video, e.g. where only the audio is relevant.

• Finding video online (Flickr, YouTube, other sites; OTRS), making your own

• Converting, problems with transcoding (lab?)

• Editing video, e.g. removing/changing sound; cutting etc.

• Uploading video: Categorization (video categories, don't forget normal categories)

• Audio: Many videos include audio. Separate audio versions? Categories for video with/without audio?

• File size, (length/quality), bandwidth and performance

• Getting videos to play
