Yep, that's about right. It
does use VIC and RAT for output though, so
display is the same as the
AG.

Depends on the number of participants and also
level of activity. Video
streams are very variable. For what it's worth, an
hour long meeting
between 2 participants with 2 cameras each runs about
600MB. So for
small discussions you might be able to get it on a CD-R. You
can also
edit recordings for length and remove individual streams as well
if
you're trying to reduce its size.

As above, the display is taken care of by VIC
so whatever the config of
the system (be it small windows or large) you can
make it work.

get on with it! :)
