By process of elimination, I'll volunteer for Hippo-Fritzlein. We have guests over that day, but they're supposed to leave before 4pm

Thanks, Adanac, for keeping the crosstable updated throughout the preliminaries. I found myself constantly consulting it.
Jean, I am thrilled that you will be commentating a game in this World Championships! I won't be able to listen live, but hopefully Omar will be able to record it so that I can replay it Saturday evening.

I've linked every commentary in this folder
http://arimaa.com/arimaa/videos/2011wc/
to the Wiki. There were other recorded broadcasts that haven't been uploaded to this particular folder yet but I'll wait until they're in this location so that we have a consistent and permanent link for all the files.
There are 8 video files from the 5th round, so that's a particularly good place to start if you want to review the games:
http://arimaa.com/arimaa/mwiki/index.php/2011_Open_Classic_Round_5
EDIT: Hmmm, now that I think about it, just use the top link for the video files. It's much easier to find what you're looking for  . But the 2011 WC Wiki links will be good for archive purposes as new players browsing the Wiki won't be familiar with the first link above.

If Omar is there he'll record it and have an .avi file loaded onto the site within 30 minutes of the games finish 
If Omar's not there then you may need to record it yourself and thank the sponsors (reading their names and thanking them should be enough if Omar's not there - but he usually is).

Oh wow, I've finally listened to the commentary of my game with rabbits. I'm totally unintelligible during the postgame interview. I don't know whether it's due to the mic or the bad english accent or what, but I can't commentate a game if I sound like that, nobody is going to listen  I'll do some teamspeak tests to check it out.
As a side note, the move sounds are way too loud in this recording, much louder than the commentator's voices, it would be better I think to lower them a lot if possible for the future recordings, or even to mute them perhaps.
EDIT: Just tested it a bit in TS. I had to reinstall the client before the start of the WC, but I forgot to check the settings. Now I have selected the noise reduction option, and it's much better. Strangely enough the french accent remains unchanged, but at least the sound appears to be much better

I listened to that interview during the live broadcast and it sounded fine to me. But the entire audio recording for that broadcast came out slightly garbled. All of Omar's recordings that I listened to in rounds 4-6 turned out great, so I wouldn't worry too much about the sound quality. I'm sure it will turn out great

Ok cool. Although with noise reduced on my side and a good quality recording, I don't have any excuse anymore

I should be able to record all the games this round. But it would be good to have a backup in case anything goes wrong. Preferably the backup should be someone not doing the commentary, but logged into TS. Capturing both audio and video would be good, but even just an audio capture is fine.
I'll have to remember to turn off the sound in the game client. If the commentator keeps the sound in the game client on, it should be OK and won't come out too loud.
Greg, some of the other videos in the ftp area, but not in the videos/2011wc area are the ones which did not turn out good. Some don't have the audio and others have a AV sync problem. I am putting only the good ones in the videos/2011wc area.

That's great about the video files, but what about the audio files? Are you going to permanently store those, or throw them away because they have no video?

I'll try.
And to C&G, I was able to understand you as much as I understood Adanac or Nombril, you are more than qualified to give outstanding commentary.

Err thanks for the kind words, if everybody could understand me that's good. Perhaps listening to the recording on my laptop which has a bad sound did make it sound worse than it was. In any case my microphone settings are now correct, so I'm gonna sound better
