In the words of George Harrison, "you don't see many of these nowadays do you?"
I also have a Canon camera, the videos are enormous M-JPEG files, the quality great, similar to DV. But you really have to convert them to something like H.264 to get a reasonable file for uploading. My sister has a Casio that takes video directly in H.264 so you can upload the files as-is.
I have multiple solutions, including quite a few digital cameras that take video. Really, for this, the Casio was the worst choice for the very reason that we said, the file sizes are ridiculous for just 640x480 video. I'll keep on experimenting until I find something I really like among what I have access to, but I may just go with the Flip I used in "The Goodnight Gamer" as that seemed more manageable.
I also picked up something similar from Polaroid for $20 when they were clearing out all of their stuff, but I have yet to try it. The thing I liked about the Polaroid video camera was that it had a pivoting viewfinder so you could more easily position yourself when taking video of yourself by simply turning the viewfinder towards you. I'll probably try that next before seeing if I go back to the Flip.
Since these TRS-80 systems don't do standard video out, I can't do any direct captures, so it has to be all capturing from the live screen.
