The web server is on its knees as predicted and the entire department is affected. So, I have had to remove the high bandwidth/quality streams off the web area. But they are available in the the CD-ROM set (name-your-price ordering).
I plan to add a lot more material in diverse areas -- electrical engg, CS, mathematics, physics etc. I need to strike a balance between putting valuable free stuff and being voluntarily compensated (using name-your-price ordering of high-quality versions) so that i will have the incentive to put more free stuff.
this is indeed a pilot in open distance education -- i would invite views/comments on how best to balance all these considerations..
Folks,
I have been successfully slashdotted -- my sys admin figured out why the site is so sluggish.
One way to reduce the load is to order a CD-ROM set. I have amended the CD-ROM ordering page -- so that you can contact me and name your price for the CD set (i do have a suggested amount).
Does someone know a way to extract MP3 audio out of ASF video files? Is there a utility that can do it? Also can someone suggest a utility to convert ASF files into MPEG format?
Yes you can right click and download each file. i hope to convert it into a non-MS format (eg: mp4) sometime soon when i find the tools and i can batch process it...
Interestingly my research is in the area of "traffic management":)
The best solution I have for those being traffic jammed at my site and really care about the content is a CD-ROM set that can be ordered there (sneakernet still beats the internet:)
As some others observed some lectures are not there -- i will have to remove those links. Those were exam days or class cancellation days. The content should be intact if you skip those days.
BTW, do you guys know other sites with freely available audio/video of courses? I found one on the MIT site on Linear algebra...
This is slightly unrelated to the overall discussion. I am in general looking for freely available online audio and video classes. I have put my classes online recently (i am a prof in RPI):

I did see a video class on linear algebra in the MIT open course ware site. Are there any others available.
