15 &lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/&quot;&gt;Norwegian Unix User Group&lt;/a&gt; is
16 recording our montly presentation on video, and recently we have
17 worked on improving the quality of the recordings by mixing the slides
18 directly with the video stream. For this, we use the
19 &lt;a href=&quot;http://dvswitch.alioth.debian.org/&quot;&gt;dvswitch&lt;/a&gt; package from
20 the Debian video team. As this require quite one computer per video
21 source, and NUUG do not have enough laptops available, we need to
22 borrow laptops. And to avoid having to install extra software on
23 these borrwed laptops, I have wrapped up all the programs needed on a
24 bootable USB stick. The software required is dvswitch with assosiated
25 source, sink and mixer applications and
26 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kinodv.org/&quot;&gt;dvgrab&lt;/a&gt;. To allow this setup to
27 work without any configuration, I&#39;ve patched dvswitch to use
28 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.avahi.org/&quot;&gt;avahi&lt;/a&gt; to connect the various parts
29 together. And to allow us to use laptops without firewire plugs, I
30 upgraded dvgrab to the one from Debian/unstable to get one that work
31 with USB sources. We have not yet tested this setup in a production
32 setup, but I hope it will work properly, and allow us to set up a
33 video mixer in a very short time frame. We will need it for
34 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goopen.no/&quot;&gt;Go Open 2009&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

36 &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/pub/video/bin/usbstick-dvswitch.img.gz&quot;&gt;The
37 USB image&lt;/a&gt; is for a 1 GB memory stick, but can be used on any
38 larger stick as well.&lt;/p&gt;
