[Helpers] Video update - Example lesson up

[Gustaf Grefberg]

Video update!

The first sample video is now up on the FTP, you can find it in the
gustaf folder and it's called Videostape3_2_Libido.avi  

I've compressed it in Divx format. It's quick to use and gives high
quality
with little artifacts. I don't think it can be streamed though, but it's
good for view/preview purposes. I've halved the resolution from the DVD
so the file is reasonable in size (It's video-CD size & format)

I've done the following:

* Noise reduction on the audio (I may have overdone it a bit, there are
some faint artifacts, I may go over it again to make sure its optimum.
The original sound is very sharp, metallic and the noisefloor is very
hissy, so it definitely needs some washing

* Compressor & Light roomtone on the audio. To be heard well on small
multimedia speakers (as well as with better clarity on a hi-fi system),
the dynamics of the voice is evened out a bit. It's standard procedure,
I have been fairly gentle with it to not squash it too much, like they
tend to do with TV-commercials. The roomtone is very subtle, but gives
the sound a 
slight stereo effect for clearer presence. 

* Intro. I have done a new intro with the FSTCD picture and lesson title
sliding in.  Also instead of images popping in and out, I selected short
smooth fades & crossfades between the events. This is a suggested intro
with what I have currently, please let me know if you want it changed in
any way, and give me links for the material you would like me to use

* Video fadeout at the end. If you want I can add a small copyright text
on the green-blue background in the end.. If you do, provide me with the
text
you need. 

Do you want any changes to the picture style itself? Is it too bright,
dark, 
saturated, etc? Let me know what you would like to see done, and I will
do my best. 

Until I hear back, I'll keep preparing lessons and continuing to keep
notes. 

Some files have skipped frames. This causes a bunch of problems with
video&audio sync. I can manually either duplicate frames to fill in or
squash/edit the audio dialogue to match up. It means extra work, but if
there is no other way to do it, I'll take care of it at the best of my
ability.. Not sure if it comes from the DV tape copy or if it is an
artifact in the original tape itself. 

Here is the current list:

Tape 3 a
VTS_02_1		Witness lesson		Broken frames in the
beginning
VTS_02_2		Libido			No sync problems
VTS_02_2		Roleplay &Resp.		No sync problems
VTS_02_2		Brain Gender		No sync problems
