Relevant APIs:- Geo-tagging YouTube video
Making movies of Google Earth:- Free software options:
- Video capture drivers: VH Screen Capture Driver (1.5 is what I've used. 2.2 is kinda strange)
- Video Recording device: Virtual VCR
- Video editing: Quicktime Pro - $30
- Tips:
- Record to a second hard drive (not a second partition, a separate hard drive - external, etc.)
- Consider lossless capture codecs for Virtual VCR
- Final encoding: h.264 (Quicktime works great. use Med. quality)
- CamStudio 2.5
- Not free:
