let’s do this!!
Mozilla’s own John Lilly will be teaming up with Prof. Lawrence Lessig and Prof. Pam Samuelson to key-note (yep, 3 different keynotes) at the first ever Free Culture Conference. If you’re available October 11th and/or 12th, I would highly recommend you check it out!
Should be a great conference. I’m particularly excited to meet up with other Free Culture activists.
See you there!
Yesterday I demoed this to the team at Eye-fi, and they said I was the first person to show them video sent over wireless from a consumer camera (+eye-fi). One of the first implementations of wireless video on consumer cameras, I’m pretty stoked! It means you can use your cheap Canon camera to auto post data to youtube, or some other video sharing service.
If you are not familiar with Eye-fi, it is a special SD card that allows you to upload photos over wireless as you take them. It does not, however, upload videos as you take them. This is because it only looks for valid JPGs. I was able to achieve video uploading by creating a spoofed JPG with CHDK that embedded the video. Eye-fi uploaded the JPG, then the AVI was decoded client side.
To use this, you will need to make sure your camera is supported by CHDK (see table on the homepage). I’ve posted the patch over on the CHDK forums. You can get a built firmware for my camera (SD700IS) here.
