I was thinking about how some "how to's" have screen shots of the actual screen and I think this is a teriffic Idea. I thought about taking it a step further.by using video with a person doing the actual process like doing something in gimp or setting up kppp. With this the person is talking or coaching a person through the process. Then I thought you really don't need the person in it all you have to do is show the screen video but still have a person voice.
I have listened to the linux show. And I thought it would be neat to see all of them on their webcams up on the screen. There should be a program which stiches all the webcams to one window. This made me think about a scripted video show like the linux show, which someone could click on anytime and it would give news or a show topic. Then I thought this would be a good for a video how to for the people who really like to be taught visually. Which brought me to the question I asked earlier. My brother in-law has a Cannon XL-1 video camera and I thought this would be a perfect for a video show like the linux show. However I don't know how much bandwith I would need to stream video. I would think there is a video streamer for Linux? It could be in a mpeg format. I think it would be something that might be needed. Does anyone know of some open source video streamers?
