RE: OT: The State of Video Capture Spring 2007
You might look at the Visual Communicator product from a company called
Serious Magic.
http://www.seriousmagic.com/
The company has been acquired by Adobe, so I don't know how they plan on
integrating it into their offerings. It is very script-based ('script'
as in the playwright/Hollywood sense, not in the progammatic sense) and
like everything has its pro's and con's.

Hiya,
Had a little think:
Keynote can export to QT movie format:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Keynote/3.0/en/key18.html
I'm assuming this can be scripted.
Script the audio (pre-recorded and tagged): Tag the QT mov to pull in
and play the audio - Save the QT mov with the audio.
Convert the QT mov to DVD format. I haven't done any QT mov conversions,
but I have used VisualHub (http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/) to
convert other file types to DVD. I recall there being an additional
download to do this from the Apple site (the mpeg2encoder methinks) for
VisualHub to do it, but I can't be sure right now.
It also exports for iPod, so you could offer that as an alternative to
the DVD...
Don't know if this helps.
Cheers,
Luis.

And we are taking a hard look at "must have" equipment. Some background: (Apple only, OSX) We are ramping up video production in a big way and getting from a Keynote to a DVD is right now an incredible "jump thru hoops" where, using SnapzPro on our biggest G5 dual processor desktop production station (which we move into a "sound room") where we run the Keynote with a high end mic attached to the box to get a humungous Apple Animation file which we can then convert to full screen presentation quality for DVD etc. It works. We looked into converters before. Total Training production Manager in New York (if you haven't seen Deke McClelens training videos you are missing a treat!) told me they they used a $25,000 plus video converter for their work but that there were less expensive models that would still do a good job in the $4,000-6,000 range. Meanwhile another team member here was talking with Apple Education dept who recommended a low end model $400.00 or something. Well guess what, non-profit org bought the $400.00 model.. it was a disaster we sent it back... Meanwhile we developed the SnapzPro work flow and did a few productions with that. So much for history: SnapzPro recently announced an Intel version which should run on our new intel machines when they arrive, but I wanted to query the list on hardware options or software alternatives. We need to be able to dub over during runtime play-recourd, voice input from an external mic. All insights, past experience "wisdom" "best directions" etc welcome email me off list unless you think everyone should hear what you have to say. Obviously the SnapzPro is "price is right" vs a $5M conversion box.. but I would be interested to know what a hardware solution might offer that SnapzPro cannot... Thanks!
