Don't go shooting the messengers as I guess they were not aware of your stated 
'micawber' like situation or your predicament of being surrounded by mountains 
of unfashionable hardware... they are just trying to help...:-)

I am not shooting anyone; only presenting an alternative way of going about something.

Folks,
I've been using Quicktime to make screen recordings which seems to work OK
but sounds like I may be missing something?
No, I don't think you have; but maybe I have.

The whole point (!) behind my 'odd' method is that it lets me use one
machine for the screen capture and another for the stuff captured;
this point seems to have been overlooked by both yourself and Tim Jones.

All the stuff I read on doing this seemed a bit difficult, so I designed
my own method:

1. Use Livecode based standalone on a G3 iMac running Mac OS 10.4.11.

2. Have a VGA to RCA converter connected to the Video-mirroring
connexion at the back of the iMac.

3. Have the VGA to RCA converter feeding into a Miglia video converter.

4. Have a Firewire cable running from the Migla box to a Firewire card
on another computer (in this case a Pentium 4 running Xubuntu 12.04).

5. Capture Firewire video using Open Source software on PC.

This has the advantage that you are not trying to do 2 things at the
same time on a single computer.
I have also done the same, not so satisfactorily by capturing Firewire
Video with iMovie on a macMini PPC.

I use Snapz Pro X on my existing system with a Blue Yeti mic.  Of course,
I edit in Final Cut Pro, but that's just to add splash.  No cables, one
machine, everything just works (and I can choose to only record a portion
of the screen).
