I just added a transcription-in-progress to the latest tutorial on WordPress.tv.
Michael, I’m going to be out for a bit here, but could you do a pass on the transcription for errors/typos? The editor in me is screaming that someone else needs to take a look at it before I mark it as final and accept the message dotSUB gives me that “no more changes will be permitted.” 
Wading into the dotSUB waters.
Checking out the dotSUB situation while still working on file transfers in the background.
Finished the WordCamp video pass; set up some alerts to keep an eye on the greater community and make sure we’re doing everything we can to help users find the help they need.
Projects for the rest of the week include:
Also hoping my upload of WC Denver video doesn’t stop mid-process while I’m not here to babysit it.
Just blogged about our dotSUB collection: http://snipr.com/fc4bj
Finishing up transcriptions, blogging about what’s new on WordPress.tv, doing some research for a new series of tutes, *and* a gentle drizzling of animation to boot. Variety rules.
This dotSUB thing is cooler than I thought.
It’s awesome. I’ve transcribed about 40 videos in a couple of days. Had a good chat with Michael, the CEO today – some interesting discussion points to talk about
Animating, transcribing and thinking through the logistics of shooting some first-class WordCamp footage, interviews & presentation content
Wow, dotSUB produces SRT and other downloadable subtitle files when videos have been transcribed. Meaning that you can download subs for the HD videos from our feed.
Please get in touch
Hi Michael – thanks for stopping by. I just dropped you a line.
Getting stuck into making transcriptions for our videos
Ok, so just as I uploaded the final video to dotSUB we had our first volunteer to start translating them. I’ll be adding links from WordPress.tv videos this week, and making a dotSUB tutorial, but if you know someone anxious to get started, the collection can be found here: http://dotsub.com/mediacollection/f7dd279f-6b91-4e99-b1d7-638276ac571e

This is Michael Smolens, CEO of dotSUB. We can set WordPress up on with a project management system so the project manager can allow captions/timing to be changed. We do not make this easy, as once a video has multiple languages done with the same time code, and then the caption is changed, all the different langauge versions are wrong, and it is impossible then to fix everything.

Thanks for picking up on this, Michael – much appreciated.

Ryan – will try and take a look today, thanks for this. I had the same fear before, but I figure people will let the very occasional typo slide if it gets through
