Thanks Stephen.
I picked up on your reference to the sound settings issue in #3712 and made a
new explicit report at
http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=8886
(see also #8887, #8889).
(I noted your remarks about sound going out sync but didn't do anything in the
absence of reproducing this myself.)
I will obviously now be setting up some sort of soak testing rig, which might
flush out some other issues. At present the only blocker issue I know of is
the audio settings, I'm trying to establish if there are others.

Is there any timescale on this talk?
Many thanks,
Ben

The sound component is broken on the Mac version of videograbber in two
ways:
1. There is a sound panel to set parameters, but they don't always 'stick'
when set and there is no instruction available on how to save the params for
the next time as one can do with the video settings.
2. There is a intermittent bug in Quicktime that can cause the sound to be
ahead of the picture. I've used a few applications that rely on QT for
video capture that have the same sync problems. The only thing that has
worked for me for pro video capture on the mac is Final Cut Pro.
Too bad, too. I had created just the app I always wanted for video archiving
integrated with a database - and had captured quite a few videos that I
eventually had to do over with Final Cut. Oh well.
However, for short clips VG might work very well. Not sure about the long
term - it may have to be restarted occasionally. Video is hard. This memory
intensive stuff has a tendency to crash more often. Videograbber has all
the stuff you need to capture - you should be able to set up an automated
test for your idea in little time.
There has been talk of a new, privately commissioned external for
audio/video. Stay tuned.

Does anyone have experience of using the rVG over a long term like this?
Does it hold up?
War stories, witness statements, views or suggestions gratefully received.
