Hi
all,
I'm happy to announce
that finally I've been given the go-ahead to
release AGVCR to the community.
It was a program I started writing
around January and it was ready for
release in a workable incarnation
some time in June. However, due to possible
'intellecual property'
concerns from 'those that deal with those things' at
IU, I was unable to
release it back then. I declined to mention it to the
community at large
until this release so as not to 'tease' people with a
product they could
not get. I won't get into griping about that on this list
:> Some of you
have known about this program earlier since we have had
AccessGrid
meetings that I have recorded. For those parties concerned, we
can
communicate off-list on the best way to get the recordings to
you.
AGVCR is a program to record
and play back the RTP/RTCP stream that an
AccessGrid conference uses. The
amount of data it gathers is certainly
non-trivial, a few hours of recording
with a number of participants can
easily reach a few gigabytes in size.
Timing and minimal overhead
information is embedded in the file for accurate
playback.
The website for the
project is here:
http://iri.informatics.indiana.edu/~dcpiper/agvcr/
I invite anyone interested to take a look, download and use it to see
what
you think. I welcome feedback, please bear in mind though that it
is still
being actively worked on. A number of changes have been made of
late, so
testing has not been as extensive as it probably should be,
but that's
another reason to get it out there. The website has source
for
Linux/Unix and a precompiled binary for Windows. I may add
pre-compiled
binaries for popular Linuxes if there is
interest.
Thanks,
Derek
