Is there a program that does for video, what vsound does for audio? Basically I want to convert some Flash animations over to raw AVI. Is there such a thing, anyone? My workaround is to use SVideo-out on one PC, and video capture on another PC uncompressed, but this is slow and capture still degrades quality. The resulting video then gets authored to standard DVD-Video format. -Scott > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Gorse [mailto:mgorse at mgorse.dhs.org] > Sent: Friday, October 18, 2002 12:19 AM > To: discuss at blu.org > Subject: Re: FW: LCS/CIS Talk, OCT 18, TOMORROW > > > On Thu, 17 Oct 2002, David Kramer wrote: > > > 1) Does anyone but me think this will be used for digital media copy > > protection more than anything else?
