I have grabbed and reencoded The NIST WTC7 webcast, and made it available here:

(I have not had time to follow all the pertaining discussion here, so my apologies if this has already been handled.)
Cheers, Jakob

Only a protion of the webcast
Jakob,
Your file is 25.8MB and 12:48 in length. This is only a portion of the webcast. Did you expect the flv to contain the entire webcast? Did you grab it while it was streaming live or has NIST archived a stream on their site (I haven't checked yet)?
OK, checked. Was your transcode to FLV from a WMV file (1_wmmulti.wmv) that was 112.11MB in size? I am doing a grab of that one now to see if it contains the entire webcast. If not, maybe it will be continued and I can grab any additional parts.

FIXED!
Thank you for the heads up.
Yes, of course I expected the flv to contain the entire webcast! ;-)
My homeserver had aborted the upload to my webhotel, and I had not verified the completenes of the upload before I posted here.
My flv is from a grab of the live webcast - but the quality is quite nice.
I was not aware if this would be made available later by NIST, which it seems it is now.
Glad to help!
I tried a grab of the stream from NIST's site and,after taking an excrutiatingly long time, it froze with about 1MB remaining. No big deal but, it appears to be a WMV. I'll take a look at it later and compare quality with your FLV I'm downloading now (which is abot the same size).
Geeklog is cool, no? I've been playing with it as a computer/Internet news related blog to see if I can extend it to other things..
