we now have 2 finished screen casts: hello world (.flv, ~29mb) markup inheritence (.avi, ~8mb)
i emailed dan, whether he could provide the hello world screen cast as a smaller file, but haven't got a response back. so as for now, we'd have to use wicketstuff.org (which is fine by me, btw). i very much would have liked to use ShadowBox [0] as a video player, but since it's GPL licensed, i don't know if we want to / can use it. thoughts?
