Unfortunately I don't have the soft on the machine I'm using now.  I can re-sample the movie tomorrow. Just tell me what format, resolution and bps to use and I'll check whether it's possible.

Maybe this page could give you some pointers. Like I say, if it will be too much trouble I can download the other one and upload that, it will just take me a couple of days to get round to it as I'm snowed under at the moment.

I have re-coded the movie as FLV that is accepted directly by the youtube service. There are two versions:
ArimaaPL-hi.flv - Hi quality, 1280x720 2400(v)+128(a) kb/s ~90MB total
ArimaaPL-low.flv - Low quality, 640x360 750(v)+64(a) kb/s ~30MB total
The quality of the second one is substantially degraded, the first one is just slightly worse than the original MP4.

Eh, I compared the compressed versions to the uncompressed one directly and they look worse.
I've uploadet the full version to YT, the address is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfK91XAek9c - it can be linked wherever necessary once it's processed there.
If it looks bad or if you don't like it to be done this way I may well delete it from there.

It looks good (I obviously can't understand a word). Cool, you say "Gol" like the spanish do, and "W" is a word in Polish?

"W" is a Polish word indeed. Main meanings: "in", "into". We have also the word "z" - main meaning: "from". When speaking you glue these words to the ones following them. Well, in France you have a word "L"! 
In the title I used a little trick. Direct translation "Learn to play Arimaa" would require changing the game name to the form required by the grammar. So I used "Arimaa - learn to play it". Note that in Polish you say you play "into" a game.
The main reason I decided not to avoid to make declination forms of the word "Arimaa" inside the movie was somewhat similar to the reasoning behind "l'Arimaa" in French - to create an impression of talking about something the listener should be familiar with.

Cool
Well, "L'" is a contracted form of "Le" or "La", so it doesn't count (or half-counts ^^). How do you pronounce these "Z" or "W", do you glue the sounds to the next word, or do you have some "vowel" in the pronunciation (like "Wuh"?), or... ?

We glue, like in French "l'eau". In some cases when gluing is not possible due to too complicated sound pattern resulting we extend "w" and "z" in writing to "we" and "ze" (e like in English "get") e.g. "we wraku" (in a wreck) or "ze strony" (from a page) and pronounce accordingly.
The "w nią" in the movie title is pronounced like "vgnon" pronounced as a French word.

O-okay!
I have finished the Polish spoken version of the "learn to play Arimaa" video. Here it goes:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI4h8czCsn0
I think it may be linked wherever necessary. I think I'll put it on BGG and popularize it in a few gaming-oriented services in Poland.

Thanks. It turned out great. I've linked it on the main page now.

I've thought of making a Hungarian version. Right now I'm ready with translating almost every line, I will want to consider them some more times and ask some people to read them, too.
Is there a way to make a beta version subtitle to be able to show people for judgment?

EDIT: I have set up a Google spreadsheet for anyone who wants to create subtitles in their language for the video. The way it works is, you copy the Template column into a blank column and then write over the top of the English. Of course, let me know if you'll be starting in your language. You may also find these translation tips useful. |

I somehow must have overlooked this thread. I can do a german version. Do I simply say the subtitles out loud or should I change something when the time for saying all words is too short?

Going from memory here:
Saying the subtitles out loud is a fine place to start, but I think if you have time to make adjustments to the phrases that would be OK as well.
