 For the talks there will only be standard definition video recordings,
most probably NTSC.  There are not enough HD cameras around, and real-
time processing in software is marginal on current hardware.

 Besides, publishing HD is too much of a space and bandwidth hog for us.
The audience is quite limited, too.  Not everyone has multi-megabit
Internet connection, a large display and a fast computer.
