Please don't worry about making mistakes or not being able to analyse the game correctly, it happens to all of us. I'm sure there are a lot of people in the community who could be good commentators, but haven't even tried it yet. This is a good change to give it a shot.
On Sunday I will need help with video recording. I will definitely be recording the chessandgo vs Fritzlein game, but since it will most likely overlap with The_Jeh vs woh game I won't be able to cover the later game. If someone can volunteer to do a video recording of that game it would really help out. I have noted down the settings I use with Camtasia.
http://arimaa.com/arimaa/videos/camtasiaSmall.txt
I found these settings after much experimentation to produce very small size files, very good sound and video quality (for the small size), and have very little lag between video and audio even after hours of recording. Hope someone can help with recording the last game.

I think I will be able to help with that

We might not. I still hope someone decides to jump in at the last minute.

I think the question meant whether we could have two channels of audio?
Sorry I can't commentate this week, I will be asleep during all the other games.

Is this the last minute?  I'd be willing to try talking about one game this weekend, though I would definitely prefer to play the role of sidekick! There is the potential for background noise here...
Either of the Sunday games would work best for me, though Sat is an option. I'm not sure about doing the recording, it seems someone else can do that?

Yes, we can have two channels of audio, Omar just needs to create them on the team speak channel.
Also I want to know if Omar wants me to record audio and video or just video.

Hey that would be great. I'll be there trying my best to make sense of the games in real-time  if you can join in it would help out. I think we might need help both days.

If you can record both the audio and video that would be great. I've found that Camtasia works very good for recording both using the settings given in the link I posted earlier. Also turning off the sound in the client helps so that even if the audio video sync gets off it is not as noticeable. I use the JavaScript Development client when recording the games since it has labels on the trap squares and makes it easier to identify the squares, but feel free to use which ever client works best for you.

Was the game Simon - Tuks recorded? I don't see it on Omar's video index and I have nothing for the Wiki yet.

If the preliminary game times for Round 3 of the finals hold up, I can commentate for either Sunday game. I probably shouldn't do both back-to-back, though, if I want to have a voice on Monday. I'm happy with either if other folks have a preference for which they want to do.

If anyone wants to listen to me again, I could talk during the later Sunday game. If there is anyone else considering being a commentator for the first time, here are my first impressions about the experience:
1. It was fun.
2. It was easy, especially since I thought only one person was listening. (There was a fairly well attended game overlapping the one I was talking about and I didn't notice when a bunch of people switched over after the other game finished.  )
3. It will hopefully improve my game - I think the toughest part was remembering to look at and discuss the strategy from both sides of the board.

OK, I will lay claim to commentating the earlier Sunday game, Tuks vs. chessandgo, if that isn't too presumptuous. I find that I enjoy doing solo commentary, but if anyone would like to do team commentary with me, speak right up.

I thought you did a great job of commentating. It would be great if you could cover the second game on Sunday.

Thanks to Nombril and chessandgo for covering the second game today. Not only was my voice about to give out, it was far more relaxing to kick back and let other folks do the hard thinking. I already knew chessandgo was a great commentator, and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Nombril is too. Thanks guys! The experience of watching a live game is vastly enhanced by the audio feed. I think we're really on to something here.
