I had seen the video Jay Dedman recommended on Web 2.0 before
from e-learning circles or wherever, and it struck me that
people here commented on it seamlessly when, as I recall,
there was no video in it! On the Internet a movie has become
something quite different from a video. A movie can be made
with no video, or video can be embedded in a movie. Video is
the stuff that comes out of digital video cameras or Web cams.
Maybe it seems seamless because online sites like YouTube or Eyespot
are automatically turning videos into movies? What do you think
about the distinction between (a) movie and (a) video?

Practical questions, if I may: Do any programs do both screencasting
and video editing or movie making? Can you get good results as a
workaround by pointing your camera at your computer while Websurfing?
If so, what kind of lighting and other techniques would work best?
