Snakes and Rubies video/audio available
Remember that Snakes and Rubies thing, for which we Django developers and Ruby on Rails creator David Heinemeier Hansson met in Chicago to talk about rapid-development Web frameworks?
Finally, video and audio of the event are available.
Django core dev Jacob has been working long and hard to edit the 13 hours of raw video into manageable pieces. So check them out! And remember: please use the torrents if you can; our servers will thank you kindly.

Hrm. The Django presentation movie, mp4 format, seems to stop around 29:28. Anyone else having this problem?

Can we have a torrent for the 3 seperate videos and/or mp3s?

I'm having trouble opening the "David's Rails presentation" (not the iPod version). When opening in QuickTime (latest version on Mac, I play H.264 movies all the time), it says it doesn't recognize the file format (error -2048, meaning file is empty). VLC also throws an error:
access_file: file /Users/peter/Desktop/snakesandrubies.mp4 is empty, aborting
access_file: file /Users/peter/Desktop/snakesandrubies.mp4 is empty, aborting
main: no suitable access module for `/Users/peter/Desktop/snakesandrubies.mp4'
Seems the movie is corrupt, anyone else having trouble with this file?

Never mind, I downloaded the file again and now it runs happily. Must have gotten corrupted along the way.

Seems the sound is a bit out of sync with the video. At least in mine it appears to be so. The best success I've had viewing it is in VLC (running on Ubuntu Linux). If you're bittorrenting the file, I wouldn't think you should have any corruption unless the master was corrupt.
This is a great resource, BTW. Only about 1/3 of the way through it. Hope to finish up soon.

I've dumped the beginnings of a transcript of the video into your wiki - I hope that's OK.

(Currently: the meeting introduction and Adrian's Django presentation, with the intention of adding the Q&A sections later this week. Not sure if I will attempt the Ruby presentation, it's longer and fairly solid with code).

Jeremy: sorry if the sound is out of sync. There were multiple video and audio sources and I did the best I could to line 'em up, but it looks like I missed a few places. Hopefully it doesn't detract too much.
sfb: Wow, that's awesome! Thanks so much.
