Tell the solar NGO that we will put in some Intel-made special devices
some time next year. If they are unwilling to put in the solar panel
now because you don't have the devices now, then forget them. We
don't need them. It doesn't make sense for me to put in a computer
there right now. We don't need a general computer. It will end up
being nothing more than a toy. The cost of a computer is about the
same as that of a 150 watt panel. So it doesn't make sense for us to
put in a computer that we don't need just to get a panel of about the
same price. When the time comes, I'd rather spend my own money to buy
a panel of my own.
Re: VCDs, there's a way to make VCDs from the videos. But I'm not
sure if that's necessary. What's the plan with VCDs? You will need
TV + VCD player + solar panel to play them in the village. If you
don't have those things now, it doesn't make sense to make VCDs. And
it doesn't make sense to acquire those things either because TVs and
VCD players are no good and we will put in better things in the
future. I said before that if you want to temporarily show some
videos to your village, play them on your computer. If your computer
is unable to play them, then it needs to be fixed. In the simplest
case, it might just need a codec, which I can guide Kush to install.
In any case, the proper solution is unlikely to be VCDs. And in any
case, I wouldn't worry too much about seriously showing videos to
village schools yet. Showing a little bit of sample should be
sufficient for now. The main thing is still to make sure we are
producing enough good videos in Rani's school. We will worry about
how to play them in village schools later.
Kush, make sure you are consistently making three copies of
everything---three hard disk copies at all times.

Making a VCD format CD takes a bit of trouble. Kush probably doesn't
know how to do it.
Making a data format CD is easy. You just burn our existing video
directly to CDs. Doesn't take any difficult effort. Kush can do it.
But such a data CD is unlikely to play on a VCD. It can only be
played on a computer. If your computer can't play the videos on a
data CD, the computer needs to be fixed. As I was saying, you might
need to install a codec, which I can help with.
Don't worry about the solar panel guys too much. If they agree to let
it stay, fine. If they want to take it away, fine too. I'll buy you
new ones later. Don't worry too much about putting TV and DVD player
there. Unless your TV is very small, 150w is not enough to power a
TV. So don't worry about the TV.
