As a video nerd... Taping the meetings isn't much of a problem. Taping the meetings and making them understandable to someone watching later, especially on-line is a huge undertaking.
The issue is in the details. To just videotape a "talking head" lecturer is one thing. But to show the details of what they are talking about requires either: 2 cameras & a scan converter (1 for wide, one for closeup's at the speakers position, and the scan converter to convert anything from the computer to videotape). I know from experience that you cannot shoot a computer monitor with any camcorder less that about $5000 unless you can set the monitor to exactly 60hz. You need a feature called clearscan which is not available on consumer models. or 1 camera, a excellent producer, and lots of free time after the meeting to run around and try to get closeups of everything the speaker pointed out. Plus post production facilities (editing) and someone to transfer all of the computer screens to a video friendly format. This though would be the perfect project for a Public Access Television Station since they have everything to do this with. Unfortunately BR does not have one of these. Anyone up for a road trip to Lafayette? sorry to rain on the parade. kw ================================================ BRLUG - The Baton Rouge Linux User Group Visit http://www.brlug.net for more information.
