Hi,
I'm a video idiot, but as I've started to perform with Gem visuals, I think I should learn up a bit on how to record video and sound together. Recording only audio works fine from within Pd or through Jack, but how do you Gem/PDP/Gridflow users go about with recording a complete video performance for archive purposes? I would prefer something which would allow me to plug into the VGA-out of my laptop and the soundcard's output as well and which would then capture the complete video and sound data to <what?>
Thanks for any pointers.

i can only talk about GEM. best quality is of course to use pix_write to get single images and render them afterwards. unfortunately this migth slow down the framerate heavily (depending on your patch) and so it becomes useless for life performances.
i ususally just plug in a dv cam into my svideo output, and audio from the mixer as well. the result is not more then a docu as i usually work with xga. but also the quality of svga is not that good. if you only have a vga output then you need a scan converter. there are some cheap ones and so is the result. many of them are even "software aided" and then you might be stuck with a certain OS. if you need to go for this solution i would try beforehand or ask around for which one you decide.
cheers

Hi,
also a GEM user. pix_write is way too CPU-hungry for live performances, the only way i've found to use it properly is to set the gemhead framerate as low as possible
I'd rather do some X-forwarding to any other machine and run xvidcap
