  I vastly prefer the audio-only format of TechBytes.

  It will still be produced, maybe even more regularly than before. We are also assembling the content in this site. One thing we tested yesterday was the possibility of doing both video and audio at the same time, in addition to audio-only shows (with different guests at each show).

  There are a couple of easy ways to split the audio tracks from an OGV file.
  
  One is to use the 'oggSplit' command from the OGGvideotools package.
  
  For example, $ oggSplit techbytes-video0000.ogv unknown type ID 7e4d122b creating file creating file creating file
  
  The "unknown" (timeline) and "theora" (video) files can be ignored/deleted. The "vorbis" file provides the audio track.
  
  Another option is to use the "oggz-rip" command from liboggz (this tool may already be present on your system).
  
  For example, oggz-rip techbytes-video0000.ogv -c vorbis >techbytes-audio0000.ogg
  
  The '-c vorbis' option specifies the content type that is to be extracted. Note that the output needs to be redirected to a file (else it will be displayed in your terminal as ASCII garbage).

  Thanks for the detailed tip. Tim is finding out about merging/decoupling and currently we also look into the possibility of making a high-quality audio version that includes songs in between parts. Your recommendations will help.
  
  Basically, I had a good think about this and it might be good to return to guest shows (like the one with Jono) for the audio sessions and do both video and audio for the shorter ones. It helps make everything tidier, too. But we're still just learning how to do it properly.

  There seems to be a gap between section 1 and section 2 introduced by the editing.

  Yes, there was an error. We're still in beta quality. ;-)
