Have you recorded a full length movie with DIVX? How about MPEG2? Yes. Yes.
Do they play under other programs, or are they proprietay/custom versions of these formats? It's divx, it plays under any divx supported program.
Have you tried playing back these captures on another computer to see if they really are standard issue? Yes. I send them to people all the time. (Home videos of camera, episode of star trek to my girlfriend who missed it because she was working)
What kind of resolutions does it allow you to capture at? greater than 640x480? 320x240? 720p? It's hard to get away with caputing 720 mpeg, that's a lot of data at once for my 7200 ata-100 drive.
At radioshack we had wireless cameras simular to X10's (In a way) that also had battery packs! We slammed them on some RC vechicals, threw them in the roof to lay some wire.
apparently, they've ruled out pluto as a planet. I have the reference, but it's in a big book with no cover under my bed holding it up on it's edge. I supose they consider jupiter a planet, because it is large. "Gas Giant"
We're getting a monorail, plans are final. It's going from Clifton Hill, Casino(s?), Marine land, and possibly to Canada's wonderland (when it makes its way down here in a few years).
Yes, let them use Microsoft solution if they want to. For Aplath's sakes, don't tell the schools right before exams, that they need to do an audit of ALL their computers to find software that does not belong to them. Atleast wait until the summer time when most of the schools re-image their labs, bastards.
If they did this to my school, I'd go beserk knowing some of it would be my responsibility.
So no doubt, here is my solution I have used, beware, it's dirty:
school closes, everyone goes home: 4:30pm, it's a friday, happens to be a holiday on monday.
you gather a group of 10 people for each 500 computers you own. Arm them with the latest customized CD-ROM and if needed USB CD-ROM drive (have 2-4 spare, etc)
Now you run the program proivded on the CD-ROM (which you, developed, easily) which shares all the local drives (C, D, E, F,/usr,/, etc).
Now after all that work, you have every computer available to the network.
You create your list of licenses you own, eg: 260 copys of Windows 98, 390 Copys of Windows 98 SE, and etc, etc.
You now create a list of known installed directory names (stored in a local database on this central server you are using), eg: *\Microsoft Office\* *\Microsoft Visual Studio\* Gather where they are in the drive: *\Microsoft Office\* was in D:\program files\Microsoft Office\
you get the picture. (if you don't, oh well)
Now do the fine tuning, gather a list of install applications from the Windows Installer, and finally grab the version of windows you are running.
Now all this information is associated with each computer in a giant database, and with simple SQL calls you can see how much you own of what. Also how many instances of "quake 3" and "Jedi knight 2" are installed.
You compare the two copys, realize you have 231 extra licenses of Microsoft Office installed (since you only own 200), so you goto the secretarys office, guidance office, english rooms, and maybe the library. you realize thats 195 licenses right there, awesome! then you pick 5 extra computers to have office installed, and run your "Cleanup script" which uninstalls office (or deletes it). Do this for every version, eg: office 2000, office 97, since you may own more versions of office 97 than you do 2000, do the higher end version first. That's about as complicated as it gets.
Fully automated, and not to hard to do over a long weekend.
regarding to intercompany transfer of the software, "yeah dave, head of the child company, i'll give you the latest software we use for out inhouse book keeping, however, it will cost you 20$ due to the development we've done." opposed to "here dave, our new inhouse book keeping software, hopefully you have it up and running by monday. Thanks for your time, we up for golf tomorrow?"

You blatently missed the "Custom" capture setting that you can, "customeize".
This is not a troll.
Try capturing to stright DivX or some jazzy jeff alternative.
Did you know that the ATi AIW series are just like a TiVO?!
They even say TIVO on the box!
Why right now I have my tv in, and video going out!
Your so a microsoft goon... The only proof I need is to hear you say "SQL" and pronounce it "Sequel."

ohh..like that new polling thing I've been hearing about, the chocolate and vinila stuff.
sure, just don't charge for it or deduct it from your taxes.
so because it doesn't have the pretty aqua theme, they won't port it?
Am I confused in to what your "Blend in" means?
This is the instances where running a cracked version would be acceptable, just hide it away when the Auditors come.
