Thanks, for that, very useful comments.

I haven't used ogg/theora at all before and I am fairly new to media 
production on Debian in any case, so your comments are very useful.

In this instance I used Kino's defaults for best, mid and low quality 
ogg/theora  output. And mid quality MP4 (so that there was a decent 
quality, low file size version).  The original set was a large number of 
Raw DV files at 720x576 @25fps (PAL) with 16 bit audio.

As for naming, you are right, the archive.org set 
(http://www.archive.org/details/20081902_FSUK_Manchester_Talk) is 
probably better than the torrent, (this probably) comes form my general 
lack of torrent experience with torrents, although I would say the file 
name is probably OK if it remains consistent over future versions,  and 
assuming I add informative meta-data in future.


Torrents are definitely the way to go for this kind of thing, although 
some streaming or otherwise browser accessible versions (of a lower 
quality) are probably a good idea too.

Thanks again.

Andy.
