530918 - Upload FyFx video to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/video/

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Laura Mesa [:lmesa] [:lvmesa]]

Please place the "Five Years of Firefox" video on http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/video/ for the 3.6 release.

It should be placed as the first in the queue after "Meet Firefox".

You can find it here: http://videos.mozilla.org/fyfx/

The title should be "Five Years of Firefox" and the blurb should say "Check out Firefox's last five years and see where we're going next."

I've added the video to the Videos page in trunk (r56847). The video is unusually large though:

The dimensions of both the OGV and MP4 versions are 720 x 405, while most of the videos on the site are 640x360. This isn't a big problem - it can be scaled down during playback, but this means more data is download than is necessary.

Beyond that, the MP4 version is 114M, while the OGV is only 24MB.

Jane, 

Does Addis have a smaller version of the video? 640x 360 perhaps? If not, then Steven, let's go ahead with your proposed solution.

Thanks!

Its just those files I'm afraid that are already on videos.mozilla.org/fyfx -- I know the size is a crunch...

Rainer is resizing as we speak. I will reload the smaller version on Monday.

Can we have this wrapped up early next week?  Beta 5 of 3.6 is shipping soon, and it might even be the RC, so it'd be good to have Mozilla.com gelled; thanks!

The page has been updated with this link in trunk with r57399. This updated file is much improved in file size. However, both MOV and OGG versions of this video are still a larger height/width than all other videos on the Videos page.

Hi Steven,

I don't see the video on the staged video page. Am I missing something?
