The media archive is both a logistical and technical solution to the large amount of multimedia (video/photo/other) captured at OWS that today remains unseen and/or unused. The goal of this project is to increase our video output productivity by establishing this central repository of media that can be shared by the community at large, edited, and distributed to the world. The archive resides on high performance servers owned by the NYCGA located in downtown Manhattan on a very fast Internet provider. Authors of content may upload their videos directly online as well as physically hand-off video files in their raw form on the street during actions and bi-weekly at media dump locations designated. Media in the archive is organized and tagged by the author, as well as the community so that it is easily searchable. All media is backed up at multiple locations in its raw form, and re-encoded into multiple formats and parts, and uploaded to You Tube (with authors permission & full credit given)
