Hi z5..

I have read your request at your site (ADA) also

I have the machines and the demos (by the way there are awesome!)

but the problem in capturing them is that the signal the bvision gets out its not grabable by TVtuners or TV equipment, and I 'm not aware of something that can grab 31Khz signal...
the only I can think of (and I can do it) its play that demos on my projector and do a screener with my camera.
except if someone knows how to grab video from 31Khz+ signals

for AGA/ECS/OCS is easy by just conecting a video or a TVtuner grabber on the composite of amigas..

EDIT: Just inform me if screener is enough and I will do it at weekend..

NO. Tvs don't sent at all the vga signal at scart....

downconverters? any example? because if there are exists are very usefull..
even if they only output composite or svideo, ofcourse the best is an RGB to RGB conversion, but..

OK I will have a screener ready at this weekend... I think the quality will be good enough, the only problem I can think of is that black will not be "REAL" black.
as for sound I will sample it directly in a wav file and then I think someone here is capable to do a simple syncro the video and sound via windows movie maker,imovie,final-cut or premiere, I'm just totaly stupid when it comes to editing. the avi will also have the sound that camera takes, but it will be mono, and bad quality, but enough good for someone to make the sync correct.

Syncing it should be no problem as long as the original camera sound is there. I can do it if no one else offered to do that. Just send me a PM or something.
Though.. i prefer that you leave the video audio uncompressed pcm if you use xvid/.avi since i recall there sometimes being some issues with mp3 in vbr. I use cool edit for syncing, so pcm/wav is much easier to work with. Mpeg2 is also fine..


I will have both video and audio uncompressed as it was grabbed if you like.
when I have them ready (I hope tonight) I will send you user/pass and address of the ftp to download it, but because it will be hosted on me, my max upload will be about 100KB/sec
edit: as for cameras audio I don't know what is the format that it records but it will be embeded on the video file , I will also sample the audio seperately
