<body><div>Hi Hiram,</div><div><br /></div><div>This won't be of much immediate help to you, but a few of us set up a Wikipedia page with the goal of maintaining an updated set of best practices for LDD during the PARADISEC tools and methods meeting one or two years back, but despite an initial flurry of uploads and edits, very little has been done since. It would be great if listmembers would consider posting information like this on that page whenever you find it, since as you point out, things move too quickly now for most people (or even groups) to keep track of everything.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_documentation_tools_and_methods">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_documentation_tools_and_methods</a></div><div><br /></div><div>Cheers</div><div>Mark</div><div><br /></div>

<div>Subject: [RNLD] Current best Video practices in LDD</div><div><br /></div>
<div id="x46341003820944e" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;"><blockquote cite="31B1628A-735D-43FE-B131-8E3BDF24418E@e.ntu.edu.sg" type="cite" class="cite2">
Hi All,
<div class=""><br class="" />
</div>
<div class=""> I’ve been trying to find updated information about current best practices in LDD, when recording video particularly. I follow the ‘record the best quality audio and video you can given recorder and storage needs’ guideline, and I usually record
with multiple devices (and audio at CD-quality as a minimum), but I don’t seem to be able to find any more specific guidelines since E-Meld’s recommendations: <a href="http://emeld.org/school/classroom/video/index.html" class="">http://emeld.org/school/classroom/video/index.html</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="" />
</div>
<div class=""> These seem a bit outdated to me - one of their recommendations is to choose AVI over MP4 as a recording/storage format. But AVI is basically not used anymore for various reasons and many recorders now only record in MP4 format. There is also
no discussion of resolution, and I'm wondering whether FHD (1080p) is preferred over regular HD (720p) when possible (or 3M HD: 1296p? or 4K?), or is this not really necessary and rather overkill?</div>
<div class=""><br class="" />
</div>
<div class="">Could someone point me in the right direction? I seem to recall an RNLD thread along these lines, but I can’t find it through a search of past emails. Is there a Wiki somewhere that is updated? It seems that these recommendations would change
every few years, given the rate at which digital video resolutions continue to increase.<br class="" />
<br class="" />
</div>
<div class="">Best,</div>
<div class="">Hiram</div>
