To exchange programs
The Free Multimedia Program Bank on
Internet is a free service set up by Vidéon association,
with an aim of supporting the emergence and the development
of televisions of proximity. It makes it possible to facilitate
the exchanges between associations and/or the private individuals.
There are two great types of programs
suggested in the bank of free programs of rights:
- With the time of the short audio-visual
programs intended to be diffused by televisions of proximity.
- But also of the elements allowing
to develop new programs (musics, sequences vidéos,
photographs...)
You said television of proximity?
A television of proximity is a video
diffusion carried out regularly by a group of inhabitants
of a village or a district.
The production is often carried out
with average amateurs and represents between 20 minutes and
3 hours. It is diffused at intervals varying from the quarter
at the week for most significant.
The programs of televisions of proximity
present the local information carried out by the inhabitants
themselves, but also of documentary and the less local headings
but concerning the life of tous.les.jours (employment, kitchen,
etc). The objective of these televisions of proximity is to
recreate or develop a social link between the inhabitants
through the appropriation of a media.
The means of diffusion are varied:
- Loans and gifts of cassettes
- Diffusion in the public places ("
television wheelbarrow ")
- Branch on a community aerial
- Diffusion on the network cabled within
the framework of the public access
- Diffusion on Internet
- Other possibilities exist (hertzian
diffusion, MMDS)
- Televisions also use the mixing of
these various means of diffusion
Why exchange?
Televisions of proximity, although not
having a grid continues to fill, however may find it beneficial
to have additional programs which enter within their framework.
They can be thus focused more easily on the most local part
of their programs.
It can seem astonishing to want to exchange
images which have a local vocation. However there are several
interests to set up these exchanges:
- The programs sets of themes (Gardening,
administrative steps, astronomy amateur...), are often not
purely local. They more often have a proximity of interest,
of passion
- The local programs can interest of
the distant people who lived the district or who have there
of the family or the friends (direct accessibility by Internet)
- Districts or villages can decide to
create a " video twinning " by exchanging information
or by carrying out each one a heading on a same topic ("
How organizes itself one on our premises to seek an employment?
")
- The local life in a point is of an
interest for very distant people. That is particularly true
for international exchanges (life of tous.les.jours in a
district in Japan or life of a French village presented
to Japan)
The network of televisions of proximity of Vidéon
association
The non-profit-making association Vidéon,
born in 1988, set up televisions of proximity since 1990.
In front of the difficulty in progressing while being alone,
association A creates in 1991 the network of televisions of
proximity. The purpose of this network is to facilitate the
emergence and the development of televisions of proximity.
Its installation was geared down by the
emergence of Internet which makes it possible to touch a great
number of people with a marginal blow. The Vidéon network
is close
- National Federation of Vidéos
of the Countries and Districts (VDPQ) which gathers a score
of existing televisions of proximity
- of Videazimut, international organization
which federates the various national structures for the
freedom of expression
The three services offered free to televisions
of proximity are: ‹
- An information center on the technical
aspects, legal etc. installation of a television (available
on site
Vidéon)
- A made up network of correspondents
people interested by the production and the video diffusion
(gathered on the mailing list Internet: video@sorengo.com)
and of associations signatories of the agreement "
Video network "
- A bank of free programmes of rights
on Internet to support the exchanges between the associative
producers and televisions of proximity
The search engine
While reaching the bank of free programmes
of rights of Vidéon, you arrive on a search engine
of free contents of rights of diffusion on Internet.
You can inform the fields for selectionner
a list of contents. In particular, it is possible to choose
the type of contents (film, music...), to propose key words
or to choose the language of this program. Click on the button
" Search " to obtain a list of programs according
to your search keys
Results of search and the previsualisation
The result of your search is displayed
in the shape of a list including/understanding a program by
line
You can prévisualiser the film
or the music with the format RealVideo or RealNetwork while
cliquant on the icones RealNetwork at the end of the line.
If two icones exist, you can choose the flow more adapted
to your Internet connection. Although visualization is often
not in full screen, the previsualisation is enough for you
often to know if the program interests you and if you wish
to recover it in a sufficient quality to repeat it in your
turn in format full screen.
Downloading
In the list which results from your search,
while cliquant on the title you obtain a complete card describing
the programs (description, duration, credits, owner of the
rights, elements included...) which you can print or copy
from your hard disk.
You also have the possibility of downloading
the selectionné program. For that, although the program
is free of right, you must leave your name and your electronic
address. You can also add comments on the way in which you
think of using the program or of the suggestions to the author.
This information will be transmitted to the producer of the
program which will be able to thus know that its program is
used. The greatest reward for a person or a group placing
free at the disposal of the programs is of knowing that they
are used and appreciated.
Once this information entered, you reach
the page of downloading. There are often several possibilities
of downloading in particular if you wish to download a film
(which represents often significant files):
- The films in format MPEG1 allow a
use full screen with a quality a little higher than the
VHS. Téléchargez these files when you have
only one traditional telephone link (a film of 5 ' downloaded
with a modem with 56Kbits/s requires two hours of downloading.
Two hours of local connection in off-peak hour, for example
the night, represents a cost less however than sends it
of a cassettte by the post office)
- The films with format MPEG2 are of
a very great quality. It is about the format used by new
numerical televisions and films diffused in DVD. The files
diffused with this format are cepêndant more significant.
You must have a faster connection. You can also make you
help of a university or a local organization which can download
this ficheie for you. Another solution consists in using
fast Internet connections of our Walawa partner. A card
in your PC or a PC proposed by Walawa enables you to receive
Internet by Satellite while connecting on a Astra antenna.
The use of the programs
You have a program now (film, piece of film,
music, photograph, illustration...). You can integrate it
in your emissions or use it to supplement your own programs
while following the rules of Public
Multimedia License
In short, the licence gives you the right
to copy, distribute or diffuse the program without paying
rights of diffusion.
However, a free program is not a program
of the public domain. There is an owner of the program and
you must respect a certain number of rules.
- The program must be diffused in its
entirety, of the beginning to the end, by including the
credits except when it is used with goal of illustration
as envisaged by the law.
- You cannot modify it but you have
the right to translate it (subtitling or doubling) by respecting
the text of origin. You can however include it in another
program (for example an emission of television which would
include reports).
N'hésitez pas non plus à
envoyer vos commentaires ou vos suggestions à l'auteur.
La banque de programme libres de droits sur Internet n'est
pas un service de distribution de films et de musiques gratuites,
mais un véritable réseau d'échange entre
les producteurs et les diffuseurs.
You can add your own contents to the bank of
free programs of rights on Internet and thus allow them to
be diffused by many televisions of proximity throughout the
world. For that it is necessary to follow the following stages:Rendez
vos contenus libres de droits de diffusion
Make your contents free of rights of diffusion
To return a film, a music or a free image
of right does not mean to put it in the public domain. The
Public Multimédia Licence makes it possible to protect
works while making it possible whoever to copy them, distribute
them or diffuse them. Your contents could be integrated in
a vaster program (for example an emission of television),
but could not be modified except for the translation.
For that, it is enough for you to add
to the credits of your films the mention suggested in the
Licence:
((name of the contents, when it is
not included in addition))
Copyright (c) ((name of the holder
of the rights)) ((year)) ((also Add your electronic address,
if necessary as your postal address))

you can add the mention envisaged on the support of distribution
(CD, Cassette...). As regards the musics and illustrations
entering the bank of programs, they are famous being free

Public Licence.
Digitize your contents
The second stage consists in digitizing
the contents to be put in the bank of programs or to convert
them in a format easy to use:
- For the drawings: Format GIF
- For the photographs: Format JPEG
- For the pieces of music: two conversions:
RealAudio format for the préécoute and format
MP3 for the downloading
- For films: two or three conversions:
RealVideo format for the previsualisation, format MPEG1
for the downloading by Modem, possibly format MPEG2 for
the downloading of high quality for the people having high
flows.
Preparation of the RealVidéo files:
In um the first time it is necessary
to download real encoder and real player version G2 on the
site http://www.real.com
(les versions de base sont gratuites)
(the basic configurations are free)
Digitize your film. Often the cards of
digitalization produce films with the format " Video
for Windows " (extension AVI). Your file avi must be
of 160x120 resolution. If your film already exists with format
AVI (in a face probably larger), made a recompiling with your
software of assembly to obtain a new film with the format
160x120.
There are 2 ways of converting file AVI
into RealVideo format: in advanced mode or Wizard mode
- In advanced mode
- To open Real encoder.
- Cliquer " Setting "
to parameterize the recording.
- In the " Setting ",
" Audio " coachman, to choose " 5 Kps
Voice " coachman " Video ", to choose
" standard RealVideo " (12Kps) the total must
make 17 Kps.
- To open " New session "
in " File ". to notch " File " in
Input Source and cliquer on " Browse " in
order to selectionner your Avi file of 160x120. resolution
notch " RealMedia Slips by " in Output and
cliquer on " Save have " in order to choose
the site where the Real file will be converted.
- cliquer on " Ok " then
" Start ".
- In Wizard mode
- To open Real encoder.
- To choose " Record from Device
".
- To notch " audio capture
", " captures video " and " using
media device connected to video capture video ".
To notch " 28 kps Modem ".
- To notch " Voice with Music
Background "
- To notch " Smoothest Motion
"
Conversion lasts approximately 20 mn
for a film of 5mn.
You will have to still build the files
of extension RAM or SMI which will call upon your RealVideo
files. They are simple textual files that RealEncoder can
help you to realize.
Preparation of files MPEG1
To convert a Avi file into file
MPEG, it is necessary to get to you a software of conversion
such as for example XingMPEG 2.0.
Digitize your film. Often the cards of
digitalization produce films with the format " Video
for Windows " (extension AVI). Your file avi must be
of 352x288 resolution. If your film already exists with format
AVI (in a face probably larger), made a recompiling with your
software of assembly to obtain a new film with the format
352x288.
- To open XingMPEG Encoder.
- cliquer on " New ".
- In the " Stream Profiles ",
to choose the standard " STAKE " whose properties
are the following ones:
- System: MPEG 1, 2048 Pack Size
1228.80 kbits/sec
- Video: MPEG 1, 352x288, 25 frames/sec,
15/3 IPB 1098kbits/sec
- Audio: MPEG 1, 44100 Hz, JStereo(4)
112 kbits/sec cliquer on " following ".
- To choose the file avi source in Audio
filename and video filename
- To choose the destination where the
file will be converted.
- cliquer " To finish " then
on " Encode ".
Conversion lasts approximately 1h30-2h
for a film of 5 mn.
Preparation of files MPEG2
Files MPEG2 are larger
than files MPEG1. Although there are software of compression
MPEG2, best is to inform you if in your entourage somebody
has means of material compression (with a card inserted in
the computer).
The lodging of works
The following stage consists in putting
your files on line on Internet. For the drawings or photographs
a simple Web server is enough. For the files of musics and
films in previsualisation (files RealAudio and RealVideo)
you must have a server RealAudio or RealVideo on the machine
which lodges your contents. For the musics and films in downloading,
you must have of broad disk spaces and a good connectivity
of the server.
Vidéon association has thanks
to the partners of the bank of free programs rights of space
to lodge files RealVideo and RealAudio, as well as place for
files MP3, MPEG1 and MPEG2. If you are a television of proximity
or an association of Vidéo production and if you have
problems to lodge your productions, contact us. We can lodge
some of your works free, within the limit of the availability.
Do not hesitate to contact the universities
and the organizations equipped around on your premise to propose
to them to help you to put on line your contents. The more
there will be free servers of contents of rights, the more
the network will develop.
Refer your contents in the search engine
Your free contents of rights are now
on line. So that the potential users can find them and the
selectionner, it any more but does not remain you to refer
your works in the search engine. For that, cliquez on "
refer your productions " in the welcome page of the bank
of programs, and fill the form proposed.
Caution: You will have to as well know
URLs of your works for the previsualisation as for the downloading.
When a person having prévisualisé
your production and considering your card is interested to
download your work, it will have simply to leave its name
and its email and you will be thus held with the current of
the use of your productions.
