My only concern is that it places a heavy burden on the camera operator to make the video turn out correctly. I've botched enough recordings myself to appreciate that this isn't a trivial task. Tore suggested splicing a separate screen video stream into the presenter video stream, but this makes heavy editing with cinelerra a requirement.

Then you load the pieces into kino, cut at the start and end, and export it back out as a single DV file for each presentation. Upload/copy that DV file to a directory on the encoding server and you're done. John
