Streaming videos for the Hooding Ceremony

For the first time, we are making h.264 stream videos for this year's hooding ceremony through QTSS and I decided to put the videos on iTunes U (iTunes player required), too:

Below is a sample video in HTTP and RTSP (Quicktime player required):

Opening Ceremony Introductions
HTTP: http://acdn.csufresno.edu:8080/FresnoState07/http/OpeningCeremony.mov
RTSP: rtsp://acdn.csufresno.edu/FresnoState07/rtsp/OpeningCeremony.mov

The work is kind intensive since we need to rip the DVD, separate them to chapters, and 'hint' the videos form streaming. Also, we receive a list of titles to chop the videos and have to make adjustments later. That doubles the work since any change requires re-render and hinting. I will ask for time stamps next time.
