Calvin Walton 42e195bbe8 Rewrite the audio/video encoding components for BigBlueButton.
I've been working on this for a while, and it's adapted from code that
has been fairly well-tested on a wide variety of recordings. I've found
it to do a more accurate job of combining multiple webcam files, and it
should be more accurate in the audio as well.

Another key feature is that it does fewer re-encoding steps during video
processing, which should both speed it up and hopefully improve quality.
The settings on the VP8 encoder have been tuned somewhat as well.

BigBlueButton

BigBlueButton is an open source web conferencing system for distance education.

It supports sharing of slides (PDF and any document readable by OpenOffice), webcams, whiteboard, chat, voice over IP (using FreeSWITCH), and presenter's desktop. It can record and playback sessions (slides, audio, and chat), runs on Mac, Unix, and PC computers, and is supported by a [community of developers] (http://www.bigbluebutton.org/support/) that care about good design and a streamlined user experience.

The use cases for BigBlueButton are

  • One-to-one on-line tutoring
  • Small group collaboration
  • On-line classes (25 or less)

BigBlueButton is built using over [fifteen open source projects] (http://www.bigbluebutton.org/components/).

Getting Started

All the core information is at the [Google Code project page] (http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/). Here are a few quick links

If you want to see how BigBlueButton works, check out these two videos

After watching the videos, if you want to immediately try out BigBlueButton, the project maintains a live [demo server] (http://demo.bigbluebutton.org) that anyone can join.
