If you want to see what Bruce has in mind for this project, download http://129.88.100.74/BOINC/2008-09-11_10:23:20.asf (19 minutes, 98MB)
You will need a version of VLC to be able to view it. Sound is abysmal. (the text on the right viewer as well, btw. Whomever thought that filming a white screen was going to work... ugh. ;-))

Gom plays it, and if you reduce the brightness, the text is satisfactory...

My Linux Mplayer saw it but it was difficult to see the slides. Those of David Anderson were much more readable.

Nice talk by Bruce ( suggest bass boost and/or treble fade ). Of particular interest is :
- The likely upcoming use of radio data ( not IFO data ) from Aricebo to search for a particular type of binary pulsar systems.
-- Will have shorter/faster/smaller WU's and not via BOINC locality scheduling.
-- Big potential for discovery of new, ie. previously unknown, stars/systems!
-- The psychological advantage of indicators of progress to focus/retain/enhance user interest.
- Discussions with NVidia re coding of GPU's for E@H apps.
- Something about screensavers I couldn't quite catch. ( I have some general OpenGL code/framework just awaiting ...... )
- Possibility of publishing raw data, suitably organised, for general examination/perusal. NASA does this already after a year or so from collection.
- Possibility of user written apps I think, within some framework.
Cheers, Mike.

RE: - Discussions with

I've put this problem to the developers at QMC@home and their told me that they are developing an application which should be available next year. I had difficulties reading the Bruce Allen slides (too bright and no contrast). I appreciated all lectures by David Anderson, including the tutorials on Bossa and Bolt for clarity and readability of slides. Next year in Barcelona.

As I mentioned, if you turn the brightness down, which can be done in GOM Player by pressing "E", the slides become very readable... Yes, you do have to turn the brightness down to where the rest of the image is so "dark" that you can't see anything but the screen, but do you really need to see him talking? If so, then you can go back a second time with brightness on full... ;-) This is very similar to turning off a set of lights (or all lights) in a room with a projector...

With mine Seamonkey, Mplayer and Mplayerplug-in, compiled by myself on SuSE Linux. all slides were clearly visible except those of Bruce Allen. My Kaffeine lacks some libraries for copyright reasons. But I enjoyed the talks by David Anderson

Lowering contrast made the slides clearly visible. Using kmplayer with mplayer backend, OpenGL video output, just rightclick to adjust contrast/brightness.
