No. I tried recording my slingbox video on Encoder and it says "Not supported" :huh:

I just so happened to find an old IBM webcam lying around, and I hooked it up to my PC (and installed the drivers for it), and for the first time ever, I am able to provide screenshots of my IS (not the best quality obviously, but oh well). :D

Current Conditions (Now):


Current Conditions metro map:


Regional Radar:


Daypart Forecast:


The Week Ahead:


National LDL:


I do also have some WeatherSTAR XL tapes lying around, and I will DEFINITELY take some pictures of those, as well as my IS v1 (both the original one with the cloud background and the August 15th version with the sunny background). :yes:

Neat, Stephen. I was wondering if you would ever post pictures of your IS.  :sunglasses:

I just took one. Unfortunately, it did not capture audio (I'm not sure if that's even possible), so I'll have to manually insert music into it, but that's alright. :)

Does your computer have a microphone? Also, if you have a line-in jack on your computer, you could output the VCR's audio into your PC's line-in.

This isn't even a camcorder, it's a webcam - i.e, it's plugged in DIRECTLY to my computer. ;)
