hi ale,
 
Nice your set up, thanks for sharing.

A friend just bought a vga to usb, great stuff for recording desktops, bit of delay in the signal seems unavoidable.

In this years edition of the fosdem meetings in brussels, I helped a bit with the video recording which gave me an opportunity to look under the hood of their set up. 
The crew from debconf works on this, so the workflow uses dvswitch, maybe it is not what you were thinking about, but it might be interesting to have a peak anyway at how they organise. Here's agood starting point:

good luck + ,looking much forward to it !

Peter

p.s.: some background:

for the past LGMs river valley offered us the recording of the LGM
talks, last year it offered us the post-processing work and we had to
found a compatible camera to record the talks.

this year they couldn't afford to record the talks, without us paying
them for their services (which would have been fine if we would have
had the money for it).

currently, i'm trying to set up a system that costs a fraction of what
we would have had to pay to river valley, but i could not get all the
material together, yet.

the goal is to be able to put record everything live on a hard disk,
reducing the need for post production to a minimum.

i plan to use:
- vga2usb (i'm buying it today) to capture the screen
- a webcam to record the person talkin in a PiP
  (the idea was to have a Pan Tilt Zoom Internet Video camera to get
  some dynamics...)
- freesee to put the images together

the linuxwochen guy told me that it is likey that there will be
microphones available... but could not give any details, so i will have
to check when i'm in vienna at the beginning of the next week.
and react if needed.

if anybody has better ideas, you're welcome.
irony is at this point not welcome.

ciao
