From what I gather these are 30C3 recordings from a CCC-TV website. The recordings have titles like FPGA 101 and Programming FPGAs with PSHDL.. There is no about page and the home page has further topics like, SIGINT13 video release, SIGINT12 video release and 28C3 webm release.
I'm confused..
The schedule with abstracts of the talks can be found here: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2013/Fahrplan/schedule.html
Those are the video recordings of day 1-3. (Day 4 is happening today)
> In this talk, artist Trevor Paglen discusses his work attempting to “see” the various aspects of the secret state. In examples ranging from tracking spy satellites to foraging through the bureaucratic refuse of CIA front companies, Paglen will discuss methods used to identify and exploit structural contradictions in classified programs which render them visible, and comment on the aesthetics and politics of attempting to “see” secrecy.

I've been to HOPE conferences in New York, fun but terribly expensive, these look similar but slightly more technical. I'd be interested in a comparison/contrast from people who've been to both HOPE and CCC cons.
The videos and the podcast feed for them can be fed into MIRO which will feed into my mythtv setup so I can watch them all at home. Unfortunately, I prefer listening to audio of conferences in my car, have done that for many years, and video isn't going to work, or at least would be tremendously wasteful. Perhaps there will be mp3 files and a podcast xml feed of them for the CCC presentations sooner or later.
Apart from the talks there are usually workshops, special interest groups (knitting, BSDM,...) and dedicated space for socialising and collaborating with others on projects on site.
Being in NY makes accommodations expensive, but Hotel Pennsylvania rooms split a few ways aren't that bad.
My take on HOPE vs. CCC is that HOPE is much more explicitly political, especially outside security. 30c3 was pretty much the "CCC NSA event", though, which was unusual. Both are fun, but my favorite conferences are the Dutch HAL/HIP/OHM/etc., and USENIX Security. I have super high hopes for Real World Crypto NYC 13-15 JAN, and excited to speak at ShmooCon 17-19 JAN in DC.
