We are happy to share with your our interview with Todd Flaherty. Todd is the writer, director, and co-star of the amazing film, "Chrissy Judy." The film covers love, co-dependent friendships, and re-inventing one's self, shown thru the LGBTQ lens of drag. It is shot beautifully in black and white and has immediately recognizable locations like NYC, Provincetown and Fire Island. Co-star Wyatt Fenner plays "Chrissy" to Todd's "Judy" and both pack powerhouse performances. Shot on a modest budget, the film looks anything but and I cant recommend it highly enough. It premiered in over 30 film festivals, winning audience and jury awards, had live screenings in NY, LA and San Francisco and is currently available on Video on Demand (VOD) at your favorite screening platforms.

After more than 50 years, American Airlines decided to shutter its print magazine American Way. Good decision? Not a chance. Based on data? Probably not. Americans have hit fatigue status when it comes to Video on Demand (VOD). Is this a short-term blip or will things continue to heat up? Spotify launched its Clubhouse-competitor Greenroom this week. The boys discuss who will win the social audio wars. And finally, Netflix launched a merchandise home on the web. The problem is it doesn't really sell anything. Rants and raves include Link-in-Bio startups, which really isn't a thing and how big tech is taking over the creator economy. This week's podcast sponsor is MarcomGather.

Paco and George are pleased to have on today’s guest Tylor Norwood the director of Robin’s Wish. This documentary centers around the final years of Robin Williams and the confusion around why this comedy icon killed himself in 2014.After his death, the media narrative skewed the facts surrounding why Williams died. It wasn’t until a coroner’s report that the complexity of his situation was better understood: he had a severe case of Lewy Body Syndrome.Williams’ widow, Susan Schneider Williams, has become a championing voice for the little-known form of dementia with Lewy Bodies. Showing the frailty of a suffering genius in his last months, Robins Wish is the first time the public is seeing this side of Williams’ life.This story is lovingly crafted by director Tylor Norwood, who has been a guest on Sup Doc for his previous documentary, The United States of Detroit. Tylor was approached by Susan to tell this story, and his team tracked down friends and neighbors while laying out the details of a fairly obscure disease that is very difficult to diagnose.Robin’s Wish comes out on Video on Demand (VOD) everywhere on September 1st.Follow Tylor on:Twitter: @tylornorwoodInstagram: @tylornorwoodFollow us on:Twitter: @supdocpodcastInstagram: @supdocpodcastFacebook: @supdocpodcastsign up for our mailing listAnd you can show your support to Sup Doc by donating on Patreon.

Intro: The Moving Picture Experts Group or MPEG, is a working group of ISO/IEC charged with the development of video and audio encoding standards. In this podcast we look at the MPEG standards and video delivery systems. Mike: Gordon, what sources are we referring to here?Wikipedia and white paper from the MPEG Industry Forum at www.m4if.org/public/documents/vault/m4-out-20027.pdf. we've also got a couple of diagrams from the Verizon website. Mike: What's the history of MPEG? Mike: Are these open standards? Mike: What's the history? Can you tell us about MPEG-1? Mike: How about MPEG-2? Mike: We don't hear much about MPEG-3 - what's up with that? Mike: Let's talk about MPEG-4 now. Mike: What are some of the advantages of MPEG-4? Mike: Let's switch gears and talk about carried video delivery systems - specifically the telcos and cable companies. How is this technology used?It's different for broadcast and video on demand (VOD) content. Let's discuss broadcast systems and look at how Verizon (as an example) is setup. Two National Super Head Ends (SHE) - one in Tampa and the other in Bloomington, IL: - Diversely located - Satellites collect video feeds - Video is converted to digital MPEG-2 and packaged in a 10-GigE payload -  SHE servers “pitch” data to the Video Hub Office (VHO) - Three OC-192 SONET (long haul) rings that drop and continue GigE to VHOs Mike: What is OC-192? Mike: OK, these video hub offices are distributed over Verizon's footprint - what happens when they get the video? Video Hub Office (VHO) ex. Burlington MA Combines: - National Channels - VOD Servers “catch” data from the SHE servers - Off-Air, program guide, public, education, and government (PEG) channels, and local ads are injected - Encrypts all content - Content sent over several 1-GigE links to local Video Serving Offices (VSO, ex. CO) over SONET (medium haul) - VSO then sends it to the OLT and then to the  PON network for delivery to customer. Mike: Broadcast is still done using traditional RF modulation methods - correct? Yes - that will change - rumor has it Verizon will be trialing IP Broadcasting this summer in Pennsylvania - just a rumor! Mike: Now - Video on Demand (VOD) does things a little differently - correct? Yes - VOD delivers IP content to the customer - it is not in RF format: - Content is requested by user via the IP network (private subnet) - Content is then streamed from the video pumps to the Video Distribution Routers (VDR) in the VHO (ex. Burlington) - VDR then sends 10-GigE links to a Video Aggregation Router (VAR) - The Video Aggregation Router (VAR) then sends it to the Gateway Router (GWR) in the VSO (ex. CO) - GWR then sends it to the OLT and then to the  PON network Mike: So - Verizon is combining Voice, Video and Data services on the same fiber? Yes - Here's another nice diagram from the Verizon website:
