Does anyone know of any software which can record more than one
incoming live video stream (via FireWire)? A PC or Mac based solution
is fine...

thanks,

Andy

It is very easy to set up a graph using Graphedit and record from
several DV cameras, giving a multi-stream AVI file.
Just tried it...

Thanks for the tip Johan - this looks ideal for what I need for this
project.

I'm curious though (with the wider question of recording multiple
streams), do any of the big packages support this kind of thing
natively? More specifically, does anyone know if Final Cut Pro does
this?

thanks,

Andy

I opened the dual-stream AVI in Premiere Pro, but the program only shows
one stream.

I don't know about other editing programs..

This evening, I've been trying to rig together something in Graphedit
to let me record two video sources at once. The first video source is
a realtime screen capture device (part of Camtasia Studio from
http://www.techsmith.com).

Camtasia appears in the Graphedit filter list as:

+ - Video Capture Sources
+ - Camtasia Studio Video Capture Driver

Meanwhile my DV camera seems to appear as:

+ - WDM Streaming Capture Devices
+ - Microsoft DV Camera and VCR

I've been trying to rig these together to produce a multi-stream AVI
file, but I can't seem to figure out the right combination of filters
to use together. I either can't connect the filters together (I get an
error message saying the filters are incompatible) or the resulting
video file is unreadable in all software...

Sorry to be rather helpless, but I've spent a good few hours trying to
figure this out with the sparse graphedit documentation and trying
things out, but I don't seem to be getting anywhere.
I have premiere pro here too btw.

many thanks,

Andy
