 We can manage that, given some time.  Time was
scarce, and we did not set up nightly batchjobs.
If cropped and tuned videos had all been ready
the same day they were recorded, then automated
encoding would have made sense.

 MPEG1 is pretty much in the clear in that respect,
and it is playable everywhere.

 The optimised Theora codec is fairly new, and it
is needed for realtime compression or playback of
high resolution video. (Yes, I would like to do
