Hi Ben,
For recording yourself, you just need to get VIC and RAT to transmit,
so you'll need to go into the options in VIC and select 'Configure on
Transmit' and then check the 'Transmit' box. After you're transmitting,
boost your quality and bitrate sliders to something pleasing and you
should be off and running.
If you have problems getting AGVCR to receive packets via localhost, as
has happened some times, then you can always use a multicast address
(pick something like 239.1.x.x (where .x is greater than 1) and set your
TTL to 1 so you don't end up broadcasting across the internet. Pick a
suitable port number too. If you connect VIC and RAT to those addresses
and you see other people on there then choose another address. Or you
could hang around and chat to them, maybe they're trying to record
themselves too...
One other way is to either book a venue or use a local venue server and
record yourself that way by joining the venue and letting the AG start
the tools and run AGVCR from that venue.
I know I need to get the AGVCR website running properly again with its
FAQ. I'll try doing that some time :)
