Apologies for cross-posting! What is the status of the work mentioned below on an AGVCR to MPEG encoder? Any other suggestions in getting an AGVCR session encoded to a more usable format? The ability to create a stand-alone CD w/ AGVCR & the media tools is great, but a little intimidating for Windows newbies who haven't ever heard of AG and don't have local tech support.
We've played some with Windows Media Encoder in screen-capture mode, but the performance and quality just don't seem to cut it.
