From the ‘Pot of Gold‘ files:
Mozilla is out today with a new development 0.2 release of Rainbow. With Rainbow, the idea is to provide a Firefox add-on for audio and video recording.
The first release of Rainbow didn’t work at all for me, (which is why I didn’t write about it), but this new 0.2 milestone is another story.
With Rainbox 0.2 the add-on now has audio and video recording on Windows, though Linux users only get audio recording.
It also looks like a pile of bugs have been fixed (likely a few that made the first release unusable for me).
Moving forward, the release notes indicate that developers are now working onQTKit
backends for Video and Audio on the Mac, as well as a V4L backend for Video on
Linux.
