Step into a YouTube video

[dmurfet]

As discussed in an earlier metauni-dev meeting.

Suppose there is an audio recording of a seminar, and a recording with timestamps of all the strokes made on metaboards during it. Write a backend script that processes the audio file, splits it into < 7 min chunks (for Roblox), compresses and uploads the MP3s to Roblox, imports them into an experience and syncs them up with the recorded strokes, to automate the production of "replays". If the YouTube recording is posted, then there can be a link in the description taking you to this "walk-in" of the video, where you can dial the server to the same time as you are at in the YouTube video and continue watching the seminar "in the flesh". You can walk around and discuss it with other people, etc.

An early experiment in this direction was https://www.roblox.com/games/6461013759/Landau-Ginzburg but the production process is too labourious when this is done manually.
