We anticipate this will be a very popular event driving lots of traffic to the video and audio feeds. Do you have streaming servers to volunteer for SLoW use?
Some questions:
- Does anyone have the possiblity to offer a scalable system i.e. something like S3 from Amazon or Media Temples' Grid-Server?
- Where could the material be archived? Some suggestions: Internet Archive, Ourmedia, in Europe we have something like Video Active
- How could traffic be reduced? There is i.e. Coral Content Distribution Network which is some sort of peer-to-peer content distribution network which can handle files up to 50MB
- Which software can be used for the live-encoding? Some suggestions: a) Transcode, which is command-line driven and can be clustered, b) FFmpeg server
- What kind of media-formats have to be converted? Input? Output?
