some thoughts about warren buffet's donation

this is a fun proof-of-concept rosetimes video project i've been working on. yes, it's possible to combine four video streams into a single quicktime. these four streams could be four different people (or four groups of people) participating in a panel discussion, brainstorming session, etc.

you'll need a G4 macintosh (or similarly fast linux or windows computer) to view the above quicktime. you might need to download quicktime 7, which is available for free.

would you like to create similar videos yourself? i explain how you can do so using quicktime pro ($30 from apple) in several screencasts accessible from the "making rosetimes" link at the top right of the rosetimes web site.
