NOT SURE IF SUSTAINABILIZING OR JUST TREEISH —-

In addition to the risk of losing one's computer, hard drive, and/or battery to the security checkpoint, there are additional problems for U.S. citizens at the immigration checkpoint. When leaving the country there is no opportunity to document what computer(s) or other costly items I am bringing out of the country. For many years, when re-entering I was required to list everything I am bringing into the country, without any means to indicate whether I had it with me at the beginning of the trip, or whether I purchased it whilst in the foreign country, etc. It was ambiguous wording, which was later fixed.
Fun story: When returning from Belgium I had some Belgian chocolate with me. The immigration form has a little box for
Are you bringing any food with you back into the United States. Of course I checked
Yes and had to be interviewed by a customs official, who with some annoyance, needed to explain to me that
"food" apparently does not include Belgian chocolate. I wanted to ask him for an accurate operative definition of "food", but knew better than to agitate these people who have far bigger things to worry about. This trip happened the same week (in 2003) that the United States military reached Baghdad and took over that city. Later the form was modified to remove this ambiguity, and more recently they have changed the definition of "family member" so there might have been come confusion there too.
Anyway, for these reasons I usually only bring an iPad 2 whose resale value is low enough to fall below the duty-free allowance — just in case.

Oh, this is great! Thanks!
If you are acting like a pretty big tree, you may skip to the command line version below.
DeOTTified, this means:
"If you are acting (pretty bigly) neatly, you may skip..."
I was completely confused by this.
@balthasar_s has thankfully pointed out that it is a reference to frame
1526, and that the proper translation would be something like
"If you probably know what you're doing, you may skip..." 
Thanks!
Either: Video camera if you want to stream that
Yes, I do!
In the Advanced Options select: / Width: 1024 / Height: 768
There is no "Advanced Options". My video camera is an iSight. Width is 640 and height is 480, whether you like it or not. I also have two plug-in webcams, both of which are also 640×480... Sorry
In the pull-down menu next to “Play”, select Stream.
Sorry, no "Play" menu, but I do have a "Playback" menu as you can see in this screen shot (in spoiler because it's too darn big):
Neither of the menus next to "Playback" contain anything related to "Stream". Why don't you just give the name of the menu instead of calling it "the menu next to Play" ?
In the "File" menu there is an item called "Streaming/Exporting Wizard...". I will try to follow your directions using that.
In the dialogue, select Next.
New Destination: IceCast
After hitting "Next" I get "Choose Input". I think it would be good to include this step in your instructions. I have to select the bullet-item "Existing playlist item" and then select the stream "
qtcapture://". I must then choose "Next".
I then get this:
As you can see there is no choice for "IceCast". Perhaps that is the same as one of the choices shown. The
Icecast Wikipedia article does not seem to give any useful answer to this question.
So I'm stuck at this point. Let's
be a baobab instead, I like command-line:
Command-Line Versionfor those who are acting like a pretty big tree:
Code: Select all
cvlc v4l2:///dev/video0:width=1024:height=768:fps=10 :input-slave=alsa://hw:0,0 :s'out=#transcode{vcodec=theo,vb=800,acodec=vorb,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:std{access=shout,mux=ogg,dst=source:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX@icecast.cvh-server.de:1190/test-screen-input.ogv}'
Result:
-bash: cvlc: command not foundI'd like to also point out that a video stream and an audio stream are two separate things. If I follow the steps in the Streaming/Exporting Wizard to export to a file, I get a silent movie (even if I tell it to capture audio at the appropriate steps).
I'm glad we're starting on this.

IF A SANDCASTLE WERE VERY OTTERRIFIC BUT SUPERRIVERISH,
COULD YOU REALLY :AZULE: IN IT LIKE SIR VINNIE LONGDONG?

Now with answers! Thanks @Balthacarius!)
