Google earth to video
lsdweb - 4/5/06 at 07:48 AM

Hi all

I have to give a presentation to a conference next week and want to try and use the google earth zoom in a Powerpoint presentation, ie I want to show the UK and then zoom down to a site in Wales (a school that burned down!). I was wondering whether I could capture this to a video file of some kind?


Any ideas?

Thanks

Wyn

If you can't find a software solution to this, do the following.
Use a data projector onto a screen and video this with a digital camera. You will lose a little resolution but it will not be noticable when you put it into Powerpoint.
This method definately works !

Records anything you do on your PC to an avi file. I have used it several times to demonstrate cad models in presentations

Easy to use, and should work.
