February Meeting – Show Notes

Thanks to everyone who showed up at our February Meeting: Compression In-Depth

The show ran a little long. We'll program a bit differently going forward. Interest in Compression for the Web was very strong. We clearly didn't give Craig enough time to get through this complex topic. As a result, we'll be doing a 1-day seminar allowing us to cover this material much more methodically - as well as get to actual "recipes" for creating great-looking video. We're working feverishly to bring this to our members in the next 6 weeks.

Below are a list of links featured at the meeting, listed by segment:
