How can I access the media server to update an old video?

Way back in 2002, I uploaded a video about why schools should use Python:

https://openbookproject.net/pybiblio/pythonvideo.php

I maintain the Open Book Project website using a shell login (login.ibiblio.org), but I can’t find where the video is located (on another machine I bet).

The URL for the video is: https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/multimedia/video/obp/IntroducingPython.mpg

Despite its age, the video is still useful, and I would like to update it to an HTML5 supported codec.

Could I do this?

Thanks!

What you want is owned by you and accessible form login1:

jelkner@login1:~$ pushd /public/html/pub/multimedia/video/obp
/public/html/pub/multimedia/video/obp ~
jelkner@login1:/public/html/pub/multimedia/video/obp$ ls
intersect.mpg  IntroducingPython.mpg  IntroducingPython.ogg
jelkner@login1:/public/html/pub/multimedia/video/obp$ ls -dlh .
drwxrwsr-x 2 jelkner 1114 4.0K Dec 21  2006 .

You have the most control if you do the transcoding on your own machine and upload to us, so we would prefer if you took that approach. Let us know if you need anything else to get this working.

Thanks! I’ve taken care of it. I just didn’t know where to find it. ~ Jeff
