Panelists: Ben Novak, Microsoft; Yvette Soler, Real Networks; Chris van Rensberg, Headspace, Inc.; Phil Wiser, Liquid Audio, Inc.;

It is only within the past few years that streaming audio on the internet has become a practical undertaking. Several systems exist that use different audio encoding schemes. Some applications use streaming audio as part of a multimedia experience and others provide audio as the main focus. These systems are making the idea of "Internet Radio" a reality.

W 5: Internet Audio Production
Chairman: Steve Mack, RealNetworks, Seattle, WA, USA
Panelists: Ioan Rus, Telos Systems; Rick Schwartz, Liquid Audio; Representative from Microsoft

Internet audio is here to stay, and now it has to compete with video. This double-edged sword has decreased the bandwidth available for audio and driven codec research into ever better low bit-rate algorithms. But none of these are perfect, and in this workshop we will explore techniques to combat the side effects that accompany lossy low bit-rate encoding.

Sunday, September 27, 2:00PM
W 6: Audio on DVD
Chairman: Skip Pizzi, Microsoft, Redmond, WA, USA
Panelists: Edwin Dolinski, Electronic Arts, Inc.; Roger Dressler, Dolby Laboratories; Jim Taylor, Author, DVD Demystified

DVD will soon become the new format of choice for distribution of audio, video and multimedia to consumers. A professional DVD format may also soon emerge. The formatting and functionality of audio on DVD will be significantly different than previous systems in several ways. This session will discuss these differences, describing how they will affect audio production techniques and the listening experience for DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, DVD-ROM and recordable DVD formats. A panel will include experts from the worlds of DVD encoding systems, DVD consumer hardware and DVD media production.
