Re: Apache Isis Screencasts

[Dan Haywood <dk...@gmail.com>]

Hi Dave,
Just had a look at these, and they are great.  Really tight, just get 
right to the point, and I think of the right length.

To my eyes the second screencast had very similar video quality.  
However, .wmv is a windows format, so I wonder if that's going to be for 
Linux and Mac users?  Can anyone here on isis-dev comment on that (my 
googling suggests that Mac is supported via Quicktime, but not sure 
about Linux).  Dave: are there any other formats that you can support, 
eg mp4 [1]?

But that aside, a big +1 from me.

Cheers
Dan
