Howdy Y'all!

Some time ago, Puttabong emailed me that there should be more OSx86 video tutorials.

I thought it was a good idea, but at that time, my camcorder could only output analogue A/V. So I bought a cheap EasyCAP USB2.0 DC60+ for about £13 (Windows Driver) to record the native output from the client computer (using the S-Video output on the GFX), and recording the screen using a camcorder.

Here are my results:

IMO:
S-Video is best for showing users how to configure their BIOS for OSx86, or maybe typing in a command, booted into -s

Camcorder (with zoom) is better for recording GUI in OS X, usually the S-Video on GFX cards with OSx86 tend to fail, as did mine in the video.
------------

The Pros:
Handy utility for native video capture

The Cons:
Needs to be connected to a separate computer running Windows.

----------------------

These are my opinions, what do you think?

By the sound of it, we want to encourage more OSx86 Tutorials!

Cheers,
