A few LilyPond videos (in French)

[Valentin Villenave-3]

Greetings everybody,

Whilst I'm hardly keeping up with the LilyPond Report these days, I
have been busy making several video tutoriels about LilyPond and
LilyPondTool:
http://lpreport.blip.tv/posts?view=archive

Unfortunately, these are only in French for now, and do not always
look entirely professional. I'm considering making some in English as
well, but I have yet to determine how to achieve that (not to mention
that most of you guys probably don't want to hear my accent ;-).

Anyway, this is just an example of what can be done. I'm planning to
make more of those (including more advanced, exciting stuff), I've
also been mailing many official institutes in France to help LilyPond
be recognized as a valuable tool for music teachers, conservatories,
etc. No answer so far, but I'll keep trying.

Cheers,
Valentin

Hi Valentin

I viewed the first one - looks really good!  Even though your spoken
French was too fast for me to follow, the display made it clear what
was happening.  I've never tried jEdit and I see now what I would
need to do.  I'll go and watch the rest, but first a couple of
comments:

The Flash format worked fine, but the Microsoft Video format just
hung for ever loading.  This is on Vista.  Don't know why.

The sound was at a low volume, although it was quite audible with my
sound turned fully up.  This may be a problem with my setup though.

An English version would be great!  Don't worry about a French
accent - most English speakers find it quite attractive!  (I was
very disappointed, many years ago now, when the voice in my Renault
25 was a male speaking BBC English rather than a feminine voice
speaking English with a French accent ;)

Yes. I'm re-rendering the videos right now for this particular reason.
I'll also use the native Ogg/Theora format for people who use decent
browsers (i.e. the last Firefox/Chrome/Opera builds).

I'm not sure why. I tried to boost the volume, but then the saturation is ugly.

Hm... When they can actually understand the words, that is ;)

Thanks for your comments,

Valentin

Valentin,

This is a great initiative. I want to learn how to do that! Seriously.
Furthermore, I think they are pleasing in many ways. Also, your voice
is charming. Some comments:

I think so.

Ogg version opens the totem (or gstreamer?) firefox plugin on my
machine, which has no moving cursor.

Flash goes fine -- good.

Quicktime version seems to try to load it completely before playing.

I also hear it fairly low, and left balanced.

Ogg much appreciated :-)
I guess blip.tv is one of the few video sharing websites streaming
also in .ogg

another interesting alternative is dailymotion, see the version for HTML5:
http://openvideo.dailymotion.com/

more information here:

I'd like to do something similar in italian.
It's in my wishlist for next year.
