Markup language for video lectures

[Brad]

Another thread mentioned the use of Forth to print early versions of
Starting Forth. Can that be done for video?

Forth could really use more quality video lectures. But they don't
have to feature talking heads. Content could be generated using a
markup language and a narrator could do the voiceover. The markup
language could place audio clips, so you wouldn't have to worry about
re-takes and getting the presentation perfect in realtime.

The format of the output should be something that doesn't need a lot
of bandwidth. It just needs to show text (selectable foreground/
background colors), arrows, curves, lines, highlighting, maybe some
embedded pictures, etc. It also needs to look good at high resolution
(full screen). What (hopefully widely used) format would be good for
that?

It certainly could be, if someone wants to invest the time and energy to
do a good design and implementation. But you have to be clear as to
your objective. There are already software products in existence to do
this. If your main objective is to get the lecture done, your energy
would be better directed at using one of them. If you are familiar with
the existing tools and find them inadequate such that you sense a market
opportunity for a new/better one, then it could be a worthwhile project.

Cheers,

It looks like HTML5 is perfect.
