This tale was read by request. As Ambrose Bierce was a friend/adversary of Mark Twain, both were journalists in San Francisco, I felt it appropriate for SLClemens to present it at The Deck in Second Life. The recording was made April 25, 2011. It was recorded as a screencast using gtk-recordMyDesktop. This program produces an ogv file. I then split this into it's audio and video tracks using oggSplit, then processed them with PiTiVi and rendered the project as an ogv file.
YouTube, while it will play ogg audio it will not play ogg video. Consequently I converted the output to flv. This is unfortunate as the ogv is a superior format for difital audio-video. I was also required to split the file into two separate files as YouTube has a maximum time length of 15 minutes.
