Video clips in e-mail

[David Mangani]

I looked into MainActor. It seems as though I will pass on this app. I 
went to their web site and it cost $100. To much for a little bit of 
video e-mail. I did fire up xawtv as it is included in RH9. I thought I 
had it made. It opened just fine, I immediately had video on screen as 
it seems to look for a default video input. Only problem is that when I 
clicked on record AVI file button it locked up hard. kill PID wouldn't 
even save this puppy. I'll need to do some reading and try to verify 
settings before I try again.
