Seriously, just get NextDayVideo to do the video; it's cost effective and low touch. They have done a huge number of events including PyCon AU (the last 3 events, plus an LA event) and PyCon US (an event 4 times the size of LCA). The biggest restriction for them is how fast the upload pipe is, with sufficient upload speed they really do provide videos the next day. They know all the tricks to getting good video and where all the problems occur (for example, making sure you pick up chargers, cabling and spares from the A/V place). <b>It's taken them 5 years to get this right, it is <font color="#ff0000">not</font> something a new team is going to get right first time.</b><div>

I was an A/V cameraman for LCA2011 and LCA2012, and would love to do the<br>
same for LCA2014.<br>
<br>
The setup for '11 and '12 was more-or-less the same -- same software,<br>
even an overlap of a lot of the same people. This means it's already a<br>
solved problem -- a wheel that doesn't need to be reinvented for 2014.<br>
<br>
LCA2014 probably won't have 16:9 or HD, but this is about *achievability*.<br>
