Hi!
This recording method is very inspired in the Podcast Producer way
of recording lectures. The key points are:
- Fully automatic method (which will not be the case in WOWODC, of
course, as podcast producer should be released one day later and
requires some previous setup!);
- No special software needed in the presenter laptop;
- No restriction to slides and movies previous sent to the movie
editors. Everything that comes out of your powerbook (keynote
presentations, live code edition, etc) is recorded.
Here's some samples of what we are doing. We are still in the
testing phase, and we believe we still can improve a bit the quality
of the video. Also, our scan converter is cheap! :D

(The sound is not distorted... it's portuguese! ;) )
Some advices for the presenters are: use WWDC-like slides (black
background, white BIG text, no tiny letters); use 18 or 24 pixels
fonts for live code edition; work on 1024*768 (our scan converter has
problems with other resolutions, I still don't know what converter
will be available on WOWODC). One may think this restrictions are a
bit awkward, but if you think on it, those are exactly the same
restrictions you have when you are presenting something on a
projected display - and that's exactly what you are doing! :)
So, this is not a way to record video-casts. It's a way to record
live presentations. It's true that small text might become
unreadable, but the text you cannot read on the video you cannot also
read on the live projection, so it's kind of useless. How many of you
can read code the WWDC presenters do live on stage, when using the
regular Monaco-9 font? :)
Also, all the WWDC sessions are recorded this way (except the
"flagship" presentations, like Jobs keynote, where they have a reggie
and several cameras), and people appear to like them! :)
Yours

I'd be willing to shell out some $ for some recorded sessions for
the day...not sure if I can make it to WWDC, but I'd still love
to get the WOWWDC stuff recorded (DVD/Podcast)
Will the sessions be recorded?
We hope to, I just have troubles finding a scan converter so that
we can record what's coming out (slides and GUI) from the laptop
to an another laptop. Stay tune, we will give more details next
week. _______________________________________________
