I played around with CamStudio a bit and realized there is a "save to swf" button.  This might solve the problem with quicktime running in the browser.  I tested and it seems to work well.

Right now i can't get the window to resize but i will have our programmer look at it in the morning.

1. start a thread telling everyone that the study group is relaunched and let them know how to upload a video. 

2. as part of this, first person to upload their video will get reviewed first. 

3. subsequent uploads by people will get reviewed on a weekly basis, and i will choose who is the next video to get reviewed. this will mostly go in order of uploading but significant weight will be given to people who review other's videos, and you wont get a vid reviewed until you have made a significant review effort in at least one other video. if i think some video is particularly interesting/significant/different i might bump it up the list. 

i think its best to leave it as an open ended group so there will be no "members" as such, which will encourage people who can only contribute occasionally 

any other ideas? if not, i will go ahead with this in a few hours and try and get the ball rolling

im afraid i cant do much better than that without using camtasia. 

any ideas RFB/preator?

i noticed that it does have a slight problem in the browser as well, i will try something different tonight.

i have used camstudio, virtualdub and the xvid codec. 

i will make a quick vid on what i have done, and if you want to make a better "official" vid i am cool with that also, but this is a 5 minute hack's version of it so that people can get started. 

going to have another play around tonight and see if i can get something working. 

if you could do the video tutorial (or even a text based one would suffice i think) that would be excellent - i have spent about 90 minutes tonight mucking around with it, and i couldn't stop the picture from flickering, and in any case the size was about 8 meg per minute which is obviously too high. 

thanks

the video would be something like this

1. things you need to download - camstudio, universal replayer/hem, codec 

2. settings for camstudio

3. show people how to set the screen up so that it shows only the replayer

4. show them how to upload to their own member blog

video shouldn't be more than 10 mins in total

what do you think?
