2007 IVRPA Conference in Berkeley: Videos & DVDs now available!
The 2007 IVRPA Panoramic Photography Conference was a huge success, with over 100 attendees, lots of informative sessions and great informal get-togethers -- , everyone had a great time! During the conference, IVRPA member Robert Fisher shot over 40 hours of video of the sessions which we are now offering to both members and non-members. We are charging a bit of money for them in an effort to break even on the cost for the time & materials it takes to produce the videos. We have tried to keep the purchase price as low as possible so everyone may benefit.
The videos are offered online for $8/session for members and $10/session for non-members. The e-commerce engine is called Files Forever, and once purchased your files are there for you to see... forever!
The videos are offered in High Quality H.264 video at 640 x 480 pixels, the same size as regular TV, so they can be played via computers, Apple TV or any other media server that supports QT 7. As a result of this high quality the files are large -- but they are smallest file size for the quality delivered. Expect a 500-700MB download for each.
The sessions online right now are:
Keynote Address - Free: Panorama Tools - Open Source Software for Immersive Imaging

As an alternative to downloading, we will be offering the session videos via Data DVD. The first DVD will have all 6 of the Plenary Sessions on a single DVD, in the same format as delivered online. The second DVD will have the remaining 5 sessions. The cost will be the same as the downloads (plus shipping). The first DVD will be $48 plus shipping for members and $60 plus shipping for non-members. The second DVD will cost $40.00 for members and $50.00 for non-members plus shipping. The total price is very small compared to the cost of the conference, travel and lodging but it is no replacement for being there.
