[AG-TECH] Recording and streaming access grid session using Windows Media Encoder or VLC

[Thomas D. Uram]

I'd like to point out that the V* code from ANU includes the 
AGVCRToMPEG2 project. All of this code, which was previously on 
agcentral.org, is now available in the UChicago subversion repository here:

    https://www.ci.uchicago.edu/svn/if-media

I've had mixed success with AGVCRToMPEG2 so far. With some work, it 
could be the missing link for recording and playback of AG sessions in 
standard movie formats.

If you're interested in this code and end up making changes that you'd 
like to contribute back, you'd simply need to get a UChicago account.  
I'll send separate mail to the list with more details soon.
