Kumoricon's appearance on Freedom TV

[JeffT]

On August 16, Kumoricon appeared on a local program, Freedom TV, to talk about anime and Kumoricon. We now have our appearance available for download:

Dawn and Cassie talk quite a bit about the history of anime, the growing fandom in the US, and what to expect at Kumoricon.

It is 38:26 in length, MP4 format (H.264/AAC). There are three sizes available for download:

DVD quality (720x528) [1.09GB]
iPod Touch quality (432x320) [435MB]
iPod Video quality (320x240) [243MB]

It is high-quality 60fps, so may not actually play on the iPods, though. But, it will play in Windows Media Player on Windows 7, QuickTime on Windows or Mac, or VLC (or your favorite player of choice with the appropriate codecs installed).

Update, 2011-02-04: This video has been re-encoded using better techniques to support leading browsers and mobile devices, at a smaller file size, and now plays embedded in the page (download links are still available):

cassie is so quiet...

[JeffT]

Yeah, the volume changed a little bit through, sorry. This is actually because of some out-of-phase problems in the original stereo source, but I converted it to mono to make this less annoying. If you adjust the volume at the point it goes quieter, it should be ok for the rest of it.
