That makes sense but.... I have no idea how to do that!  waveryder put my MaLa layout together... maybe I can ask him to "upgrade" it or something...   I LOVE the idea of the preview movies and Circo is totally insane for doing all that work!!  It's unbelievably awesome!  :cheers:

Thanks alot, been awhile since I used mala but it's just a simple trick in the layout editor. 

As far as capturing the video, I have had great luck with my little sony digital camera in video mode.  I have been meaning to try camtasia for Front End captures.  I think it would work.

I don't have a digital video camera and my digital camera has 1 minute limit... so I am interested in capturing the front end via computer... any suggested (FREE) software?

I can't necessarily vouch for the quality of this product, since I haven't technically used it for anything myself... :-\ I downloaded it once to check it out and don't remember too much about it. But it's free, so that fits the bill.

If you use it, let us know what you think. Maybe others here would use it too?

It's called priorities by bruddah... I have an ANALOG (tape) video camera I already don't use,  why upgrade it to digital?

A webcam would work, do you have one of those.  And honestly I don't know of any freeware video capture software that would work.

I figured there would be more interest also. I was looking forward to seeing the entries.

I noticed the ones posted are all by the same guy. On one of the videos I didn't even see emumovies in use, just snaps.  :dunno

Did you submit it as a news item for the BYOAC main page?

Guys I just don't get it.  My front end is up for a few seconds while I choose a game.  When I am not playing I just leave the game in attract mode. 

I would much rather see vids of how people built a cab... not too interested in a front end???

I leave my frontend (mamewah) running when not playing for a short while. I have it set to cycle through the attract mode videos as a screen saver.
