Regarding the discussion about recording, it should be possible to get a decent recording without going overboard. The most important thing is probably to keep speech clearly audible over the background noise without any uncomfortably loud spikes if someone coughs or something.

I'd do this with four choir mics on stands that I'd put in the middle facing out, and run them into our portable mixer. I'd also hook up a computer to capture each mic on its own track, but just as a backup copy.

Monitoring through headphones, I'd run the mix through a compressor-limiter to smooth out the volume and watch for spikes. I'd maybe pan each mic a little off-center to help with interference. The recordist may need to adjust the mix a little here and there, but usually things settle in once the conversation gets going.

For video I think two to four cameras into a switcher, also mixed live. Our video team usually mixes live to DVD-burner, but also records to DV tape on all cameras, again for backup and also in case something needs a different camera angle in post. I'd send them the live audio mix.

Most likely, this would be a suitable recording. If not, secondary media would contain split sources for a remix. The multitrack audio should be recorded at 48kHz for easy matching back to the footage. That process could be as quick or elaborate as necessary.

The live mix going to the DVD recorder could also be recaptured for streaming.

the caller that was looking at a virtual machine for vista might consider Microsoft's VirtualPc. It's easy to setup and free.

I've got it installed on vista and running xp.

What was the link to the iWorship beta discussed in Episode 18? It would be nice to add it to this list.

Jason lee (?) was asking about authentication using AD & licencing limits for SharePoint. I imagine that this is largely because your potential SharePoint user list is much larger than your AD user list. Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) might be your answer. Essentially you can create an alternative user AD structure for authentication that listens on a different port from your core AD. ASP.NET applications can be configured to authenticate against it so I imagine SharePoint could be also. You may want to look into it.
