Short form:
  Google now has both parts of 'the future of d', marked private until I
finish watching both parts (uploaded before I got a chance to watch it,
so doing so directly from google rather than the file I sent).

Long form:
  Google video is a pain in the ass.  It accepted the first upload (over
a gig), but wouldn't let me view it.  The second time (700 meg version
-- lower bitrate) I tried to upload it, it took all night.  I started it
when I got home last night and after 4 hours, it was still trickling
slow over (no where near my bandwidth caps).  It finished while I slept.
 I started the upload of the second half to occur while I was at work
today and it looks like it took 3ish hours (for another 700 megs).

I'm going to finish watching both halves tonight while more videos are
uploading.  As I watch them, I'll mark them public and post the relevant
info on .announce.

The primary reason I'm watching them is that at least one of them is
_supposed_ to have a discussion at the end trimmed out.  I don't
remember exactly when it occurred (other than that it was on the second
day).  It diverged into the single issue that I was asked to stay away
from when I got permission to host the conference... licenses.  That's
the ONLY topic that won't be posted publicly and only constituted about
10-15 minutes.  Quality is the second, and won't stop me from uploading
unless it's outright unwatchable.  Making sure they're _my_ videos is
the third.  I won't want to be responsible for posting videos from other
amazon presentations publicly by accident.  It'd take a lot of really
stupid accidents to have that happen, but it only takes watching 'em
once through to be certain, so it's a small price to pay.

The quality of the parts I've watched as been 'ok' but not 'great'.

More soon..

Later,
Brad
