Buck, I actually looked into this a few weeks ago when it was first brought up. I'd basically want to use whatever open video standards are out there, and my current hardware is not really up to it. Also, I've never really done video recording before, so I imagine someone with more experience would be a better choice. To do a good video, everyone that talks would need a mic, and you would need a good camera man. These things could happen, but it would take a heck of a lot of prep and planning.
I've been thinking that instead of taping, how about some kinda groupware based on-line demo where one person is talking via voice and showing viewers how to run commands and use apps? The viewers could respond via IRC to another operator helping to run the show. I don't know of any free software to do the voice and multicast video streaming. Does anybody? This could be captured to a video file for re-viewing.
