The Aim

This section, maintained by Valentin Spirik , will focus on the how-to and technical aspects of producing, finding and distributing audiovisual content using the new autonomous media infrastructure.

This is a Wiki - if you, the reader, have information that you feel is missing and want to share: get involved and help building the P2P Audiovisual section!

The Wiki Text

The Wiki text that follows tries to give the reader an overview to the the audiovisual P2P net by filtering the vast amount of available information by asking questions like "Is this useful, can it be recommended - is it somehow in the interest of either the majority of people or a neglected minority?" (Instead of being a link or site that first of all promotes the interests of e.g. a company.)

The Directory

The Directory on the other hand tries to collect related sites and links of all sorts - including commercial services - where the criterias mentioned above might or might not apply. Over time however a critical evaluation of the individual entries can be done.

General Hint about Web Services and Software

Just because a web service has a pretty site or because a particular software is open-source does not mean that it is useful for everyone. Especially in the Web 2.0 world there seems to be a certain tendency - maybe out of sympathy for a P2P related project - to over-hype a service or a software project. While this Wiki tries to point in directions that hopefully are useful, the reader's own critical judgement is encouraged when exploring unknown territory or installing and using new software.

* Navigation by Colour *

To make reading the AudioVisual P2P Wiki easier we are now testing navigation by colour. Example:

This paragraph has two * stars * in its title. This tells you:

The text will be presented in a box on a light blue background. And it means:

This paragraph is considered to be of special interest.

A text in a box on a darker blue background contains a link to another paragraph (in this P2P Wiki section). Example:

Click this link to go to The Directory.

Hint: you can quickly return from there to here by clicking your browser's "Back" button (usually top left in the browser's menu)!

Tip: looking for a specific link or keyword...? Try a text search! In e.g. Firefox Command(Apple)-F (Mac) or Ctrl-F (PC) brings up a convenient search box at the bottom of the browser's page. Keep hitting return to see all results for e.g.: podcast

Media to Mobile Phones/Digital Movie Distribution

<< Previous Chapter << | >> Next Chapter >>

Media to Mobile Phones

Note: Since these distribution channels might not be in place yet, but are said to be important for media distribution in the years to come, we will provide links and examples, but indie content distributors should look themselves carefully at all the details before using any of these services - they might or might not be useful, this is * untested * territory:

Zannel http://www.zannel.com/ wants to offer "Zillions of Channels" and "will be the easiest way to share your content on mobile phones."

Note: We plan to move "Articles in category "Audiovisual" (see further down) to the following 14 subdirectories - until this is done those directories are empty!

The "Articles in category..." underneath have been collected by individual Wiki authors and are linked in various sections of the P2P Wiki. These articles are - even more than the text above - a work in progress. Some entries may only consist of a short description and an URL, while others may have been developed much further:
