Hi, I'm seeking a movie, called "Digital Voice Conferencing" Danny did when he was at ISI, demonstrating packet voice technology in the '70s at Marina Del Rey. It used to be linked to by a WIRED article on Danny -- https://www.wired.com/2012/11/he-engineered-the-internet-to-... but the the embeded movie has vanished. We (Computer History Museum) would be super grateful if anyone had a copy or knew of one lurking on the internet somewhere. Can you help?

Could this be it?

Either way, that video is amazing, even if it makes Danny the “heel” of the call. Take 5 minutes and watch it—it’s an incredible window into how far things have changed in 40 years (especially because at the time, what’s in that video is Deep Magic). Thanks for finding that!

>it’s an incredible window into how far things have changed in 40 years

It's also entertaining to see the aspects of conferences calls that have stayed the same or even gotten worse in the last 40 years :)

The only thing it was missing was someone saying “can everyone please go on mute”

YES! Thank you so much. Gosh, it seems obvious?? But nothing related to any of the title keywords or danny cohen or ISI or packet voice came up. Whatever you did, THANK YOU!!!

This looks to have been posted on Danny Cohen’s own YouTube channel; there’re several other of his videos on it too

Steve Casner shows the video here in this talk, and provides some context: https://youtu.be/av4KF1j-wp4?t=3284
