[OT] Instructional Video

[Richmond]

All the stuff I read on doing this seemed a bit difficult, so I designed
my own method:

1. Use Livecode based standalone on a G3 iMac running Mac OS 10.4.11.

2. Have a VGA to RCA converter connected to the Video-mirroring 
connexion at the back of the iMac.

3. Have the VGA to RCA converter feeding into a Miglia video converter.

4. Have a Firewire cable running from the Migla box to a Firewire card 
on another computer (in this case a Pentium 4 running Xubuntu 12.04).

5. Capture Firewire video using Open Source software on PC.

This has the advantage that you are not trying to do 2 things at the 
same time on a single computer.

I have also done the same, not so satisfactorily by capturing Firewire 
Video with iMovie on a macMini PPC.
