How do we take a video of ourselves signing?

[Stuart Thiessen]

Apparently, YouTube takes a while to process the video after it is 
uploaded. That is why it is not available yet. I will email when it is 
ready.

For the Mac, I suggest Ivezeen available from www.boinx.com for $14.95. 
It is pretty much point and click. You can set it up with your iSight 
and it will save the movies to your Movies folder and then you just 
upload it.

For the PC ... I am not sure. I better leave that to the PC users on 
the list because I haven't done that recently with the PC.

Thanks,

Stuart
