How about using a single laptop/desktop which we know has working TV-out
(which would certainly cut down on VGA out problems as well) and tell
the talkers to use removable storage or put it up on some server? Unless
they are demoing something odd that prevents us from doing this, we
could then record the signal directly from TV out while feeding VGA to
the projector - we'd probably get much better quality even with a
consumer VCR than with recording - and then edit the two together into a
single stream?
Now that I think, how about having a wireless mouse, so the talker
doesn't have to stand infront of the machine all the time, too? I can
bring mine...
Geek talks being as based on the slides as they frequently are, it's
very frustrating not being able to read the screen (like Owen's
thoroughly bodged talk on Cairo from 6uadec)
