 If you want an hardware soluion, you can input from a dedicated capture card. Many of them are branded for gaming recording purpose and will do real fine.

-== Conference support ==
+== Conference Guidelines ==
-OWASP Media Project will provide support for recording talks during a major OWASP conference, but in order to assure painless success some hard requirements are to be followed.
+OWASP Media Project used to provide on site recording for talks during major OWASP conferences (20+ speakers), but this is now a thing of the past. In order to achieve a respectable results in quality of content, dealing with an experienced professional vendor is now a must.
-First, here's what you get as an OWASP Global Conference:
+Note that OWASP Media Project will still provide support on uploading, publishing and marketing of the video content as of 2018. Vendor could still be required to upload to YouTube, this is particularly useful if they don't deliver on physical media by the end of the event.
-* Full implication during the conference from directly involved project leaders
+In order to assure painless success some hard requirements are to be followed:
-* Equipment that is pre-setuped and already works. We have laptops and captures cards in inventory.
+* Use HDMI for screen capture
-* Direction and tips/hints on how to achieve best result in an effective but cheap way.
+* Do not record the slides using a video camera and use that as final publishing
-And here's what you need to commit:
+And some somewhat flexible requirements (downplaying them will jeopardize quality):
-* Covering travel expenses for the leaders that will do full time shift on site
+What to NOT do:
-* Find local volunteers to be part of the recording effort
+* Do not use your own laptop for presentations with software recording
-* Respect the ratio of trained volunteers (not counting the on-site lead) of one (full-time) per track recorded
+** We actually suggest software recording for smaller or single talk event, but in a big conference that's a guaranteed headache
-** Basically, 1h of volunteering == 1h of recording. Simple!
+* Do not publish all content at once
-* Trained volunteers must go through *one full day of setup/training the day before the first day of recording
+* Do not expect 100% quality from any vendor
-** If everything goes well during that day, it can be less work and more fun so the team will get to know each other
+** A 5% failure rate is to be expected; you'll loose some recordings, sound will be bad on some, aspect ratio might be weird, HDCP might ruin everything.
-* Any volunteer that is not trained must be paired with a trained one for the first half-day of their shift
+** Some talks will be beyond salvage. We published them in the past but with 700+ videos online now, we think it's unnecessary unless there's a direct demand from the community to see the talk anyways.
-At the end of the day, the alternative is to do use a audio/video company. You'll be looking at a $30,000 to $60,000 bill that you will still have to direct them to do so. Also, a/v folks know their stuff better for camera filming, projector placement and cables, but not about streaming, recording and computer image acquisition; we do. To be fair, the cost of using volunteers is not 0, but you'll be basically paying for people that wants to listen to the talks as they are being recording and we think there's value in that as well. Also, it is recommended that the recording volunteers are used full-time as their job is mostly to be sit and watch the talk and troubleshoot if needed.
+Last but not least, be ready to pay the price. We suggest that you look for sponsors in order to cover the costs. Be aware that you might break YouTube EULA by adding ads inside the videos, especially when using permanent logos. You can however add a comment bellow in text, or do sponsored content in a stand alone video or inside the content.
-If you have the budget, we strongly recommend having a live recording professional crew for cameras *for just the keynotes*. That way you'll be able to achieve the best usage of a professional team while still giving the content to the volunteers.
+If you are lucky, you might find a local enthusiast that will do it for free. In this case, we suggest to have professional recording of the keynotes, and make sure you handle the risk you are taking by having exceptional communication between them and the conference team.
