Last week I brought my HD camcorder to Penny Arcade Expo 2009,set it on high quality (12mbps, 1080p, 30fps), and recorded the entirety of NCsoft's Aion panel. Then I encoded the resulting52-minute-long AVCHD files at half resolution in MP4 format, variable video bit rate (2500kbps average), constant audio bitrate (160kbps AAC), to arrive at a nearly 1000mb large single file. I then uploaded this file to AionTube.com. Want to watch it? Here's a direct link.

Also, here's the description of the panel which I copy/pasted from PAXSite.com (it was also in PAX09's official program):

Friday 1:30pm - 2:30pm, Wolfman Theatre

Aion and the Evolution of the MMO genre

A major challenge facing MMOs today is that of wooing a global audience while remaining culturally relevant to all--delivering compelling gameplay and evolving a storyline that resonates with players around the world. Learn how NCsoft’s latest blockbuster MMO,Aion™, is addressing these challenges head on and helping to drive the evolution of the MMO genre. Key members of NCsoft’s Aion team will be on hand to talk and answer questions about the making of Aion and how it attempts to advance MMOs in a variety of areas including writing,emergent gameplay, and culturalization. We'll also be conducting a special giveaway for a select number of audience members to be revealed at the end of the panel; you don’t want to miss out on this opportunity!

If you want to embed the video on your site, or wherever, use this code:

You can leave off everything between the <noscript> and </noscript>tags, if you're feeling confident. It should still work.

Enjoy!

P.S. There's a little sweepstakes going on right now at AionTube.com. Anyone who uploads something is entered into a drawing for some PAX swag, which will be held on the 19th. So upload stuff! >:3
