[X4U] Video recording meetings with iSight

[Scott McCulloch]

Thanks guys... BTV does appear to be a good option, at least in terms  
of having more flexibility than QT Pro for the settings.

Unfortunately, I was unable to get the file size vs. quality ratio to  
what it is in QT Pro - even with apparently identical settings on the  
video, and the most compression available on the audio. At first, the  
BTV files were coming out 12 times larger - then I realized they were  
using a much higher data rate, but when I capped it at what the QT  
Pro files were showing, the BTV video quality suffered greatly.

While I've only got one choice of image size with QT Pro, it may be  
good enough -- the file size to quality ratio is pretty good.
