<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=406413115-21022008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>I'd recommend you storing the AG meeting audio and video
data locally using AGVCR and then converting this data to your desired
format.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=406413115-21022008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Unfortunately, I don't know what convertion software is
available!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=406413115-21022008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Presumably you're planning on 'playing' the meeting from a
PC (either live or recorded), converting the VGA signal with a scan convertor,
and capturing the AV signal with a DVR?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=406413115-21022008><FONT face=Arial

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=406413115-21022008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>So you'd simply capture the entire VGA output, i.e. Desktop
1, as opposed to a nice AVI file that only shows the video
clips.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=406413115-21022008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>I suppose you could capture with AGVCR on the node PC,
transfer this data onto another PC with AGVCR installed, play it back there, and
loopback the video into a capture card (similarly with audio) and save it in
your desired format.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=406413115-21022008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Alternatively, I believe some DVRs have a built in DVD
writer, so it wouldn't matter about the on screen menus. You can of course
output the DVR to a PC's AV capture card - but you're going from PC to DVR
back to PC again!!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
