-Apple’s iMovie and QuickTime for editing and tweaking the screencast.

-ShinyWhiteBox’s screen recording product, iShowU, which will record both audio and video from your Mac computer screen.

-La Chose Interactive’s program DooDim which allows the user to dim or blackout everything on the Mac screen except for the front most program.

-Boinx Software’s MousePosé program which dims the screen and puts a spotlight on the area around the mouse pointer, guiding the audiences attention to an area of interest.

-Flying Meat’s FlySketch program which places its main drawing window above all other windows in the system allowing you to trace, draw over, and highlight just about anything that shows up behind FlySketch, very much like a telestrator.

Apple-of-my-i.com’s screencast has a runtime of 24 minutes and 42 seconds. If you want to skip some of the YouTube information, advance the video to 11:25.

I recently came across the solution to this problem in the Apple.com support forums. By throwing away the file QuickTime plugin.webplugin file and restarting Safari, the problem is solved. Here’s the steps to finding the file and fixing the problem.

The QuickTime plugin.webplugin file is found at the following path: HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/plugin.webplugin.

1) Be sure to quit the Safari browser if it is running and then Open your boot drive and double-click the Library folder to open it:

2) Inside the Library folder you will find a folder named Internet Plug-Ins. Select and double-click the folder to open it.

3) Inside the Internet Plug-Ins folder you will find a file named QuickTime plugin.webplugin.

4) Simply drag the QuickTime plugin.webplugin file to the trash and restart Safari. Navigate to the web page with the problem QuickTime movie and it should now display properly.

1) Create a partition for Windows using Bootcamp (I created a 55GB one since I’m going to use Windows 90% of the time)
2) Reboot from the standard Vista install DVD. Format the partition you created and complete a normal Vista install. You’ll need to do this so the boot sector is written properly. I’ve tried stopping right after you format it, and have even killed it right after the file copy starts (neither worked) so I’m guessing the boot loader gets written at the end of the process.
3) When you reboot be sure to press and hold the mouse button after the Mac bootup “ding” sound. When the disk ejects quickly put in your WinPE DVD with imagex.exe and the image you’d like to install. You may have to boot back into OS X first. If so restart the Bootcamp assistant and choose install Windows.
4) Pay close attention as it boots so you can “press any key” to get WinPE going.
5) Once you boot into WinPE you’ll need to reformat the disk (which doesn’t mess with the boot sector). So run the following commands:

diskpart
select disk 0
select partition 3
format fs=ntfs quick
assign letter=c
quit

6) Now you’re ready to put the image on the machine. For this you’ll run:

imagex /apply IMAGENAME.wim 1 c:

7) Now go get a cup of coffee (or several) while it puts the image in place. When that’s done reboot and go get dinner (and then maybe breakfast) as Vista starts up the installer for the image.
