The FAB&PP Video Gallery

I have always been interested in using my www.fabandpp.org web site to publish videos of my poems. Because of the way the most popular format is licensed (by RealNetworks™,) the hosting fees are typically stated as per-stream, per-month. In the case of an otherwise inexpensive web site, the fees for even a couple of modest video streams could more than triple the monthly cost.

In the past, when I was hosting some of my sites my own systems, I attempted to use the low-volume, entry-level, non-commercial and 'free' streaming server from RealNetworks™. There were some drawbacks, the most notable being that I would have had to make some serious modifications in my home-brew firewall setup to allow these streams to go 'out.' And even with those modifications, not everyone would have their player configured to receive the content in the same way I was delivering it. If you're interested in technical details, you can visit the RealNetwork™ web pages intended for server administrators.

In any event, I gather on this page a small gallery of poetry clips. For each clip I have tried to identify the source format, and the various conversion steps used to produce the final output.

I must add my usual disclaimer that all of these clips are copyrighted by me, and you have permission to download them for viewing only, not for reproduction, sale or other forms of commercial exploitation.
