| description | This paper focuses on modifications to an institutional repository system using the open source <a href="http://dspace.org">DSpace</a> software to support playback of digital videos embedded within item pages. The changes were made in response to the formation and quick startup of an event capture group within the library that was charged with creating and editing video recordings of library events and speakers.
This paper specifically discusses the selection of video formats, changes to the visual theme of the repository to allow embedded playback and captioning support, and modifications and bug fixes to the file downloading subsystem to enable skip-ahead playback of videos via byte-range requests.
This paper also describes workflows for transcoding videos in the required formats, creating captions, and depositing videos into the repository. |
