OT: The State of Video Capture Spring 2007

[Mark Powell]

You might look at the Visual Communicator product from a company called
Serious Magic.

http://www.seriousmagic.com/ 

The company has been acquired by Adobe, so I don't know how they plan on
integrating it into their offerings.  It is very script-based ('script'
as in the playwright/Hollywood sense, not in the progammatic sense) and
like everything has its pro's and con's.

Hiya,

Had a little think:

Keynote can export to QT movie format:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Keynote/3.0/en/key18.html
I'm assuming this can be scripted.

Script the audio (pre-recorded and tagged): Tag the QT mov to pull in
and play the audio - Save the QT mov with the audio.

Convert the QT mov to DVD format. I haven't done any QT mov conversions,
but I have used VisualHub (http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/) to
convert other file types to DVD. I recall there being an additional
download to do this from the Apple site (the mpeg2encoder methinks) for
VisualHub to do it, but I can't be sure right now.
It also exports for iPod, so you could offer that as an alternative to
the DVD...

Don't know if this helps.

Cheers,

Luis.
