If you know of others, please contact me (http://www.sialis.org/about.htm#contact).
A neat video from nestcam footage is Bluebirds Inside the Nestbox, by the North Carolina Bluebird Society (http://www.ncbluebird.com/). May be purchased online directly from The North Carolina Bluebird Society (http://www.ncbluebird.com/) as a VHS tape or a DVD for $13.85, including shipping; quantity discounts are available. Also available for a $20 donation to Cornell Nestbox Cams (http://birds.cornell.edu/birdhouse/nestboxcam/helpsupport.html). 15 minutes.
The Titmouse Story (http://www.dropshots.com/day.php?userid=99384&cdate=20070318&ctime=184303) - 9 minute color video from nestcam footage, from house hunting to fledging. Super. Shot with a Logitech Webcam - Quickcam for Notebooks Pro (http://www.everythingusb.com/logitech_quickcam_for_notebooks_pro.html). See camera and installation details (http://www.dropshots.com/search.php?query=installation&userid=99384&cdate=20070408&cimg=0) (click on thumbnails.) See other webcam clips from the Murrays (http://www.dropshots.com/paulmurray). (http://www.dropshots.com/paulmurray)
Wood Duck Nestcam (http://www.giffsfarm.com/nestbox2.html) - still shots and video clips (04/09/07 one of her making a blanket over eggs is interesting)
A couple of video clips of (http://www.dropshots.com/paulmurray) bluebirds feeding and removing fecal sacs (http://www.sialis.org/fecalsacs.htm) from a Bo Villa (PUMA) nestbox.
Video of the Month (http://www.sialis.org/video.htm) (some taken with nestcams)
My nestcam blogs from 2006 (http://www.sialis.org/camblog.htm), 2007 (http://www.sialis.org/camblog2007.htm) and 2008 (http://www.sialis.org/camblog2008.htm).
How to capture video with Windows Movie Maker (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/moviemaker/getstarted/DLmovies.mspx)
See camstreams.com (http://www.camstreams.com/) (don't forget the S after camstream!) for more info about live cams and free broadcasting. Also ustream.tv (http://www.ustream.tv/helpcenter/helpcenter).
I'm dying to try one of these. It is reasonably priced, but doesn't have a video output or ability to take snapshots.
