My primary computer platform and operating system both at work as a web designer/developer and at home as a web developer and blogger is a PC running XP Pro SP2 (haven’t made the jump to Vista yet). However I do a lot of my blogging on an old G3 iBook running OS 10.2.4 Because of the age of the hardware (built in 2001) I can’t upgrade the OS, but it has exposed me to the world of OS X and given me some respect for ‘the other side’.
Today I found some software that will allow you to record video with your Mac camera, without having to buy the expensive QuickTime Pro software. The application is called iRecord and is available free of charge by Eric Brunstad of Mind Sprockets Software. Here’s the blurb from the very simple and elegant website:
Want to make recordings with your camera? Don’t want to buy QuickTime Pro? iRecord is your solution. Just open iRecord, and video recording is as simple as pressing the red button. Take a quick photo by dragging the picture to your desktop. iRecord is the pure, Mac-way to capture video. Better yet, its free. Donations are requested.
