Hi SoaS folks... plus Greg! If you do find a way to do this it would be wonderful. But, it will have to be easy to explain to parents, teachers, and kids. They are our target audience (right?). I'll forward a copy of this to Greg Dreshler up at UCSB. He was one of my booth volunteers from SCaLE 10X and is very knowledgable about how to use Parallels. Maybe he will have some ideas too. If you guys can figure this out and show me how, I will write the documentation to make it easy for our target audience to do.

He wants to be able to use SoaS on a Mac to record screencasts of Activities such as FotoToon and Memorize being used in combination with Record (both audio and camera) I now spent some time trying to get this to work on VirtualBox but didn't find a solution. Is there some reason why this might not work at all or are we simply missing something here? You need the VirtualBox Guest Additions or equivalant compiled inside the Guest OS before this has any chance of working. If you are inside the VM click the Devices menu and install Guest Additions. This adds a new device that you can mount as a disk. From there the Guest Additions need to be compiled. there is a script for that. I am not sure if you are allowed to distribute the compiled Guest Additions with a preconfigured VM image. VMWare has a similar feature, I am not sure about Parallels. Dave Any help, links, suggestions, etc. would be much appreciated.
