The woman demo'ing it at the TRU said she thought there was going to be
some ability to use other cameras, but it might require a "bridge". I
can't
vouch for the accuracy of her information though - she'd been trained only
on that software, and didn't know anything about the Mindstorms camera
(whether it was the same or different).

The software can play it back in full-screen mode, so I can't imagine why
it wouldn't be able to *save* it in full-screen mode. I was watching on a
laptop, but the resolution didn't look terrible. Nowhere close to what you
can get with a good digital camera...but you're not paying the bucks for it
either.

How much does movie-editing software run, though? That'd be my question.
If I could get the camera and some inexpensive software for the Mac, I'd be
even happier...
