Oh, so sorry, dear Stashers, but real world concerns have pushed me to the brink of a couple of urgent deadlines… namely, audio and video production for the upcoming NORML Conference in Berkeley. I’d hoped to post today, but the video has been especially troublesome. Why must there be so many different incompatible video compression file formats, anyway? With audio, it’s MP3 and if it’s WAV or WMA or AAC I can get a freeware converter that’ll make it MP3. But video? Egads!
Talk to y’all tomorrow. — “R”R

I am the host of the NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog. I'm married, live in Portland, Oregon, and I am a registered medical marijuana caregiver in this state. I've worked days as an IT geek and nights as a professional musician. Previously, I have been the host of my own political talk radio show on satellite radio. I've been the High Times "Freedom Fighter of the Month" for my work producing Oregon NORML's TV show, "A Cannabis Community Forum", and for helping to institute Portland's wildly successful medical marijuana cardholders meetings, where we help sick and disabled Oregonians acquire cannabis plant starts, learn gardening, and understand the medical marijuana law. I've dedicated my life to bringing an end to adult marijuana prohibition and re-legalizing cannabis hemp, and I'm honored to be chosen by NORML to be our daily voice.
For both audio and video conversion, I suggest FFMpeg: http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/
“FFmpeg is a complete solution to record, convert and stream audio and video. It includes libavcodec, the leading audio/video codec library. FFmpeg is developed under Linux, but it can compiled under most operating systems, including Windows.” (and Mac).
Good luck,
JD
