I may be blocked by you on Youtube, but here's what I'd do to fix the quality:

Get your screen recorder and choose to fit it down to a window, pick the emulator as the window, and then start recording it as if you were recording a 4000 emulator.

I don't believe that can be done with CamStudio.

Emulator Videos / Stephen's Emulator Clips

I'll start off this thread with an WeatherScan XL emulator clip.

Notes:
- The quality isn't very good; I will try to look for a better video codec for recording. Also you can see my desktop wallpaper - this will be corrected as well.
- The extended forecast and boating forecast are set to Orlando as the emulator has problems reading my forecast because NWS writes them differently for my area.
- The Sea Surface maps are not correct for my area.
- Text on the traffic incidents screen is cut off.
- The Cox logo appears on most screens and the Comcast appears on others. The Comcast logo is embedded on those screens - not sure when this will be changed.

Anyways, enjoy!

What in the world??? weather.com is showing a Halloween promo on their homepage! What are they doing? Halloween was a week ago (unless it's on November 8th now? ).

I don't see a Halloween promo on their site.
