I had seen the video Jay Dedman recommended on Web 2.0 before from e-learning circles or wherever, and it struck me that people here commented on it seamlessly when, as I recall, there was no video in it! On the Internet a movie has become something quite different from a video. A movie can be made with no video, or video can be embedded in a movie. Video is the stuff that comes out of digital video cameras or Web cams. Maybe it seems seamless because online sites like YouTube or Eyespot are automatically turning videos into movies? What do you think about the distinction between (a) movie and (a) video?
Practical questions, if I may: Do any programs do both screencasting and video editing or movie making? Can you get good results as a workaround by pointing your camera at your computer while Websurfing? If so, what kind of lighting and other techniques would work best?
