===Conversion of video from wmv to mp4 format ===
Most of the time, when we dub the tutorials into other languages we find that the filesize of the resultant tutorial is high. Since, these dubbed tutorials will not be used for dubbing into any other language (always use the original tutorial for dubbing purpose), here is a method by which one can reduce the filesize of the dubbed tutorial.

Ideally, save the movie in '''BEST QUALITY''' in Windows Movie Maker. Then convert the output '''.wmv''' file to '''mp4''' format using '''ANY VIDEO CONVERTOR'''. The settings for this are as follows –
#Output Profile – Mobile Phone MPEG-4 Movie (*.mp4)
#Video Options
#* Video Codec – mpeg4
#* Frame Size – 640X480 or 720X540
#* Video bitrate – 128 or 256 (go higher if the video quality is bad)
#* Frames per second – 15
#Audio Options
#* Audio Codec – aac
#* Audio bitrate – 64
#* Sample Rate – 11025 or 22050 (go higher if the audio quality is bad)
#* Audio Channel – 2
#* Disable Audio – No
#* A/V Sync – Basic

=='''What should we do after we dub the audio?'''==

==='''Do the following to submit an ''.ogv'' video with a good video quality and less file size '''===
===='''Step 1'''====
#We recommend that you dub/record using '''''Audacity'''''
#:(it is available for all OS : Linux Distributions, Windows [all versions] and also for Mac OSX)
#After you record in '''''Audacity''''' -
#* Click on '''File -> Export -> save as *.mp3'''
#* This will export the final audio as an "*.mp3" file
#If you are using '''''Movie Maker''''' -
#* Convert the output file as an "*.mp3" using '''''Any Video Convertor (Free Version)'''''

----

===='''Step 2'''====
#After that '''download the original ".mov" English video from this link''' [http://spoken-tutorial.org/english-videos http://spoken-tutorial.org/english-videos]
#Place the '''dubbed audio''' file '''''(.mp3 format)''''' and the '''downloaded English video''' file '''''(.mov format)''''' in the same folder.
#:'''(Please Note that, you have to use '' [http://ffmpeg.org FFmpeg] Command Line'' for the following process
#:So ensure that it is installed on your machine.)'''
#Do the following in a Linux machine -
#*Open the '''Terminal''' and go to the folder using '''cd''' command
#:For e.g. '''''cd Desktop/linux'''''
#Here '''linux''' is the folder in which I have saved the audio and video files for conversion
#:In my case, the file names are :
## '''English Video''' : linux-basic-of-syatem-admin-english.mov
## '''Dubbed Audio''' : linux-basic-of-syatem-admin-tamil-dubbed.mp3

----

===='''Step 3'''====
#First : Remove the '''English''' audio from the downloaded '''English mov''' video
#:Type the command :
#:'''''ffmpeg -i''' linux-basic-of-syatem-admin-english.mov '''-an -vcodec copy''' linux-basic-of-system-admin-english-video-without-audio.mov''
#:This command will remove the audio from the input video ''(linux-basic-of-syatem-admin-english.mov)'' and
#:save the output video ''(linux-basic-of-system-admin-english-video-without-audio.mov)'' in mov format itself
#Second : Merge the dubbed audio with the English video without audio
#:Type the command :
#:'''ffmpeg -i''' linux-basic-of-system-admin-english-video-without-audio.mov '''-i''' linux-basic-of-syatem-admin-tamil-dubbed.mp3 '''-vcodec copy -acodec copy''' linux-basic-of-system-admin-tamil.mov
#:This command will merge the dubbed audio (in .mp3 format) with the English video with out audio (in .mov format) and
#:save the output in .mov format (linux-basic-of-system-admin-tamil.mov)

----

===='''Step 4'''====
#Convert the dubbed mov file into ogv video
##We have the dubbed video in '''.mov''' format with the same quality like the original English video
##But we need it in '''.ogv''' format.
##To convert '''mov''' into an '''ogv''' video, use a Firefox add-on called '''Firefogg'''
##We have to use the latest version of ''Firefox Web browser'' (Firefox version 5 and above)
##Click on this link [http://firefogg.org/ Firefogg] to add this '''add-on''' into our ''Firefox Web browser''
##Follow the steps shown and install '''Firefogg'''
#Now, we can convert our videos into ogv videos
## Open Firefox
## Click on Tools -> Make Web Video
## This will open the firefogg conversion process in a new tab
## Click on the '''Select File''' option
##:[[File:Firefogg-1.png|400px]]
## Browse the File
##:[[File:Firefogg-2.png|400px]]
## After selection the file, it direct to file format/preset page. Click on '''Advance Options'''
##:[[File:Firefogg-3.png|400px]]
## In the advance settings page,
##*Change the '''Format as Ogg(Theora/Vorbis)'''
##*Set '''Audio Quality as 5'''
##*:
[[File:Firefogg-4.png|400px]]
## Click on Encode
## It will prompt you for the location to save the output video
## So, choose the location where you want to save
## Also confirm that it is saving in '''ogv''' format and click on '''Save'''
##:[[File:Firefogg-5.png|400px]]
## The conversion process will take some time
##:[[File:Firefogg-6.png|400px]]
## After the conversion is over, it will show the preview of the converted ogv video
##:[[File:Firefogg-7.png|400px]]

----

So finally we will get the dubbed video in '''OGV format''' in '''GOOD QUALITY''' with '''LESSER FILE SIZE'''
Note that, the video filename should be submitted with proper Naming Convention as shown below :
foss-name-level-topic-name-language.ogv (linux-basic-basics-of-syatem-admin-tamil.ogv)

'''Here the Outline stage is complete.'''

'''Glossary'''
# Create a link named '''Glossary''' on the outline page.
# When clicked, it should lead to a page on which each contributor to this FOSS will enter the technical terms used in the scripts with the definitions for those terms. These could be domain-specific terminology, abbreviations, acronyms, etc... Ideally, this should be an alphabetical list.

=== About Us (Spoken Tutorial) ===
The Spoken Tutorial project is about teaching and learning a particular FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) like Linux, Scilab, LaTeX, PHP & MySQL, Java, C/C++, LibreOffice etc. via an easy Video tool - Spoken Tutorials. Some of the salient features of SELF (Spoken Tutorial based Education and Learning through Free FOSS study) Workshops are -
# This method is highly conducive to self-learning.
# Once one gets started any student or faculty can master the FOSS.
# UG, PG or research scholar students and even teachers of Science, IT, Engineering, Commerce, Management disciplines can learn any of the FOSS.
# The training workshops are conducted remotely via a video conferencing tool, Skype.
# Typically, the first workshop at any college is of 2 hours duration.
# To start of, any college which is organising the workshop needs to get a computer lab ready with machines that support sound and have VLC player and internet. There is no lower or upper limit on the number of participants. This just depends on the number of computers available. For additional participants laptops if available can be used.
# The main organiser's computer needs a webcam via which the Spoken Tutorial team can monitor the workshop.
# On a convenient day participants take an assessment test and on clearing it get certificates from IIT Bombay.

As a first step the organiser can identify a student coordinator to publicise and conduct the workshop. Students have a lot of energy and are very enthusiastic about such activities. Participants of course benefit. Student coordinators too get a special certificate, and a T-shirt! More importantly, they develop Event management and Project coordination skills.

'''All of the above mean a big deal to students for their career with recruiters and at PG interviews.'''

Today SMEs and Govt. departments are moving to Open Source Software like Linux. Students with this knowledge will have an edge in the job market. They can also become entrepreneurs and use Open Source Software in their businesses, saving money vs., if they were using Commercial Software.

Net it is a win-win situation for all and the best part….all the workshops are conducted FREE of cost. We are having a very good experience with colleges across the length and breadth of India with this format. They start with one and move to cover more batches, more departments, the different FOSS....All working together to Bridge the Digital Divide in our nation.
