Almost four months after the last CCC congress took place, the promised recordings of the lectures got released. The process took apparently so long because it was initially planned to release the audio files together with video captures of the talks. Unfortunately some problems occurred during the encoding of the videostream causing the video not to be in sync with the audio anymore.

Nevertheless the audio files are now available via Bit Torrent. Get them here (Ogg Vorbis, 2.19 GB).

I never really got why videos are so important anyway. The audio together with the slides of a talk are more than enough to follow and understand the content. I don’t see the added value of video, beside the cute lecturer’s facial expressions.
