Hi everyone! :-) I am supposed to get (for the first time) into the world of making youtube clips. I have a webcam, a microphone and a big hard drive configured and ready. The question is: what would you suggest as an easy-to-use yum-installable app that could handle a couple of minutes/hours of recording? People who are about to use it are complete noobs, and I would like to give them a user interface of type "start the program, press record, talk for a while, press stop, press save, quit the program". That is, if something like that exists for CentOS (version 5.6, if it matters). I don't mind proprietary/patented/nonfree A/V formats, codecs and stuff. Anything goes, of a typical amateur youtube quality. I just need something that generates video clips in the simplest way possible. Any recommendations? TIA, :-) Marko

Kino is availalble from the rpmforge repo and installs cleanly via yum under CentOS 5.x.> > I don't mind proprietary/patented/nonfree A/V formats, codecs and stuff. > Anything goes, of a typical amateur youtube quality.

Regarding how to shoot talking heads, I'd envision recording a webcam window, probably contrived but feasible. Mixing other recorded material in would be possible too. -- Eduardo Grosclaude Universidad Nacional del Comahue Neuquen, Argentina
