+<h2>Accessing Recordings</h2>
+
+<h3>Streaming Audio and Video</h3>
+
+<p>By streaming, you can enjoy a recording without first waiting for the
+file to download.</p>
+
+<p>Most of the ogg files have been encoded in a stream of 20Kbit. Most
+Internet users, including those with older modems, should be able to listen
+to the files streaming from our server.</p>
+
+<p>You can 'stream' by either (1) playing the file while it is downloading
+(recommended) or (2) putting the file URL directly into your media player.</p>
+<p>For example:</p>
+<p>(1)</p>
+<p class="emph-box"><code>wget -q 
//audio-video.gnu.org/audio/file.ogg&amp;ogg123 file.ogg</code></p>
+
+<p>(2)</p>
+<p class="emph-box"><code>ogg123 
//audio-video.gnu.org/audio/file.ogg</code></p>
+
+
+<h3>Resuming Downloads</h3>
+
+<p>Files on this page are served via http through the Apache web server.
+Apache supports the range header. Clients can therefore resume transfers by
+specifying where, in a stream, the download must resume.</p>
+
+<p>wget with the -c switch will continue a transfer if a smaller file of
+the same name exists in the download location.</p>
+
+<p>For example:</p>
+<p class="emph-box"><code>wget -c 
//audio-video.gnu.org/video/&lt;filename&gt;</code></p>
+
+
+<h3>Peer-to-Peer access</h3>
+
+<p>Many of the speeches are available via peer-to-peer sharing services
+such as Gnutella. SHA1 hashes are available for all the current audio files,
+to assist finding them on P2P networks and verifying once downloaded.<br />
+<a href="/audio/sha1hash.txt">http://audio-video.gnu.org/audio/sha1hash.txt</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>Command to create SHA1 hash using GNU privacy guard:</p>
+<p class="emph-box"><code>gpg --print-md sha1 some_file.ogg</code></p>

+<h2>Guide to Formats</h2>
+
+<h3>Audio Format</h3>
+<p>
+We distribute our audio files in <a href="https://wiki.xiph.org/Vorbis";>
+Ogg Vorbis format</a>.  We avoid MP3, because it is impeded by <a
+href="//www.gnu.org/philosophy/patent-reform-is-not-enough.html">software
+patents</a> in some countries.  The Ogg Vorbis format is technologically
+superior to MP3, and is <strong>not</strong> encumbered by patents. The
+sound quality of speech recordings on this page is not indicative of the
+quality you could expect from Ogg Vorbis when applied to HiFi audio. 
+Please avoid transcoding HiFi audio from MP3 to Ogg Vorbis. By doing so,
+you will create Ogg Vorbis files of a lower sound quality than the original
+MP3. Instead, please encode to Ogg Vorbis directly from the uncompressed
+source.</p>
+<p>
+The <a href="https://wiki.xiph.org/Vorbis#More_information";>Vorbis wiki</a>
+provides lists of software and hardware that support the Ogg Vorbis format.
+The Ogg Vorbis project is part of the <a
+href="https://www.xiph.org";>Xiph.org</a> project, where you will find <a
+href="https://www.xiph.org/vorbis/";>resources for developers</a>.</p>
+<p>
+The Ogg Vorbis files available here have been made using an encoder
+released in March 2001. This encoder probably provides inferior sound
+quality to the latest codec, but does provide compatibility both with very
+old and new decoders. If you have any trouble playing an ogg file, please
+ensure your player/ plugin/ library is a release of April 2001 or later.</p>
+
+<h3>Video Format</h3>
+<p>
+We distribute our video files encoded with the Theora video codec,
+encapsulated in an Ogg transport layer. Both our video and audio files
+therefore share the .ogg file extension.</p>
+<p>
+The Theora video codec has been designed as a free video codec unencumbered
+by patent licensing restrictions. The technical brilliance and superb
+compression rates of the Theora codec should not be allowed to overshadow
+its most important asset: <a href="//www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">
+it respects users' freedom</a>! Many recent GNU/Linux distributions already
+provide support for playing theora video. Visit <a 
+href="http://www.theora.org/";>Theora</a> for more information or to
+download players and codecs.</p>
+<p>
+We use WebM instead of Theora for some videos; WebM is another more recent
+format, also unencumbered by known software patents.</p>

+<h2>Request for Recordings</h2>
+<p>
+If you are planning to attend a GNU event, please make a recording. It is
+polite to ask permission from the event organiser. If you wish to make the
+recording publicly available in a digital format, please choose one which is 
+accessible to free software. Theora or Vorbis are the best choice as using
+one of these will add support to Free, open, unencumbered formats. Please
+choose the license we use for the speech recordings and remember to embed
+the license into the digital file so that anyone else who receives a copy
+of the file are aware of their freedoms.</p>
+
+<p>
+If you have a good recording from a GNU event, and you would like to share
+it with us, please send an email to &lt;<a
+href="mailto:audio-recordings@gnu.org";>audio-recordings@gnu.org</a>&gt;.
+The best recordings will be added to this page. We are interested in both
+audio and video recordings. We can accept the source in a wide range of
+formats (eg those supported by ffmpeg). We will transcode to a standardised
+codec for the site, and optimise the encoder settings.</p>
+<p>
+When submitting recordings, please provide the following information:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Who recorded the speech/ who owns the copyright</li>
+<li>The name of the event where the speech was recorded, Including City
+and country</li>
+<li>The date the recording was made</li>
+<li>Confirmation our usual license is OK to use: <cite>Verbatim copying,
+distribution and public performance of this entire speech recording is
+permitted in any medium provided this notice is preserved.</cite></li>
+<li>The names of introductory speakers</li>
+<li>The title of the speech</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+We prefer to receive speech recordings as a single file rather than split
+into sections, but if the original is in many parts, we can join it if
+required. If the original file for the recording is compressed with a
+lossy compression format such as mpeg, divx or a proprietary format,
+<b>please don't transcode the speech recording before sending it to us.</b>
+Given that we transcode any file we receive to different bit rates and
+frame sizes, and insert copying information, inserting yet another
+transcoding stage will simply degrade quality.</p>
+
+<h3>Audio formats</h3>
+
+<p>We prefer original recordings in the original recorded sample rate up
+to 44100Hz. Monophonic is generally adequate for speech recordings and
+saves a lot of space over stereo. We will accept the recording in the
+original file type. If the original file is large, you may wish to
+transcode to 64Kbps mono ogg vorbis.</p>
+
+<h3>Video formats</h3>
+
+<p>The same is true for video as for audio. Send the recording in the
+original frame size. If already compressed with a lossy codec, please
+send the original. If your original is uncompressed or has a very low
+compression/ large file size, please compress using theora with video
+quality set to 5 or more.</p>
+
+<h3>Transcriptions</h3>
+
+<p>If you have a transcription of a speech by a GNU speaker, or would like
+to make a transcription, please contact &lt;<a
+href="mailto:audio-recordings@gnu.org";>audio-recordings@gnu.org</a>&gt;.</p>
