Hello Mark, If you're speaking about using QuickTime Player to record, following the line of the discussion of a few days ago, there are File menu options for "New Movie Recording" as well as "New Audio Recording". Just as with the audio recording option you can navigate to the "Recording Options" menu button, VO-Space, and choose the quality of your recording and its "Save to" location. Unlike audio recordings, you don't have to VO-tab in order to use the shortcut for a new movie recording (Command-Option-n) when you're running VoiceOver. If you don't use the "Choose…" option to select a specific location for your movies in the dialogue window (using all the default Finder shortcuts among your navigation options like Command-Shift-d for "Desktop", Command-Shift-o for "Documents", Command-Shift-h for your top level home directory, Command-Shift-g for an arbitrary "Go to folder" path that you specify, etc.), then I'm not sure, but I think the recording might be saved to your account's iMovies folder. You could always check by using a Spotlight search. When you stop recording the file should show up under the "Open Recents" option of your File menu with the name "Movie Recording". (I checked this to find out the name assigned.) I think that using the Command-O shortcut to open a file (also listed in the File menu) may open your default location for these files, but I'm not sure since I separately set up a location. However, if you did a spotlight search on "Movie Recording" and used Command-Return to move to the location in Finder, you could certainly find this out.
On a laptop or with an iMac you'd be using your default iSight camera to record a video. I'm not sure what happens with a Mac Mini, especially for people who are trying to run without a monitor.You also have sharing options once you stop recording and play back the video. By the way, in the earlier discussion about Audio recording, Sarah said that she doesn't bother with large programs like Amadeus Pro for short recordings. Well, neither do I, but there's a very old audio recording program that we used to point people to called "Audio Recorder" that still works in all the versions of the Mac that I've ever tried. And when I mean "old", the date of the last README file that came with this is 2008. It was written by a guy named Ben Shanfelder, and distributed from his dot Mac (and later from his MobileMe) web account. You can choose your file format in the profile, and I think the default is WAV. MP3 requires installing the LAME library, which I did a long time ago on one of my machines, but which would probably be a pain to do now. (This was back when the default MP3 encoding scheme used by QuickTime and iTunes wasn't as good as it is now, so the LAME encoder for MP3 recording was used.) Anyway, it all still works in a really small profile window with options for choosing the recording format type if you don't want to use m4a by default. I kept a copy of a valid download location, and checked that this still works: http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Audio/Audio-Recorder.shtml I do find Softpedia a pain to get to the correct link, but this still worked correctly (without malware) when I tried over the weekend. Before version tracker got taken over by CNET you used to be able to download software from there, as well as from the MacUpdate site. HTH.
