: Alter the source code for AlephOne to save every screen to hard drive! ha! :)

: I've tried this it too, and it really looks like you'd have to alter Aleph
: One or assemble a ton of screenshots. At least with Quicktime Pro all you
: need to do is drag and drop all the images to put them together. Import
: the first frame, move the slider all the way to the right, then drag and
: drop the frames into the window. Then you can export it as a different
: format.

: Without special software to sync the capture with the display, you're going
: to get the capture in mid-refresh.

: Does your Tibook have S-video out? Have you tried that? according to apple's
: website it comes with converter cables if your video hardware doesn't have
: s-video. A basic DV camera with firewire would let you capture to tape
: through the S-video, then you could capture from the camera back into
: iMovie.

: Did you ask the Rubicon guys how they did it? I'd like to know.

   Ack! I forgot to post a follow-up! I ended up using Snapz Pro, set to capture a movie at 4 frames per second, and recording while playing back the film at second slowest speed (since the slowest is just a still image). I then opened the resulting movie in QuickTime Pro, exported it to DV Stream, imported it into iMovie and sped it up there. I still need to speed it up a little more (as it stands, it's just a tiny bit slower than it was when I was playing), but there's probably a way of doing that... somewhere...
   Oh, and I really like the S-video idea. That way I could capture it on full screen, instead of having to set it to 640x430-HUD or whatever the setting is. I can't test it out, though, because I don't have a DV camera... but, if I ever get one, I'll definitely want to try that.

Bye-ya,
