Re: [WIP] The Forgotten Release Commentaries

The reworked video is ready for upload. As stated above, I sticked to the longer version, the shorter one can be considered a backup. I also have prepared transcripts in English and German, as well as subtitles with accurate timestamps.
It would be nice if some of you could proofread the transcripts.
@ ElderTroll:
The YouTube video hasn't gone live because of the ominous abscence of the account's password.
Making the video took me a good amount of time. The actual work on the script, the sound and video recording, and the editing of the raw data, only cost me two days.
Cursing OpenShot for its infamous runtime error on Windows, cursing Windows Movie Maker for crashing when too many video snippets are opened in one project, cursing Windos Movie Maker for poor output quality when using .flv files as source data, cursing SUPER for not converting those video files properly, cursing MediaCoder for the need of solving simple arithmetic problems in order to go on with video converting for free, and - again - cursing Windows Movie Maker for crashing due to .ddl problems in regard to .wmv decoding, took me another three days.
Add one day for polishing, writing the translation, and providing accurate subtitles - finished.
With optimisations regarding my workflow, three to four (full) days seem to be possible for a smaller release. OpenMW 0.37.0 is in a league of its own though.
Your plan amazingly mirrors my idea for a release plan. I would suggest to release the first video as soon as possible, and let it work its magic for two weeks. After that, the second and the third video could be released in a shorter interval - depending on the progress of version 0.39.0.
After my exams (i.e. at the end of next week), I should be able to work "full time" on these videos. I will definitely give it a go.
