I've just posted my first two screencast tutorials on Squeak Etoys:
The first movie discusses how to install Squeak Etoys and the latest OLPC Etoys image on your computer (particularly if you own a Mac). The next shows Etoys in action for about fifteen minutes. If you listen closely at the end, you may figure out why I ended the movie so abrubtly :)
My next screencast will be on Tuesday. Let me know if you were able to view these movies. I used two different approaches to encoding the video, so I'm interested to see how others fare on different systems before I make new ones.

Excellent, thanks! This is very useful.

Both worked fine on my Mac, but the second one stopped at 7:56. I can skip forward a few seconds and then it plays again, but audio is lost.

As several have pointed out, the second video lost sound halfway through. I've reshot it using new settings. I'm also sticking with Quicktime instead of Flash Video.
Let me know if the larger file is takes too long. Depending on your connection, you may have wait a bit before it starts playing.

Hi, Tim,
As you say in the first video, it would be nice if a Windows user follows this style of instruction.
There are a few things that depend on your computer (like getting the Toast icon first, stuff-it problem, etc.) but it is still great.
Oh, and the link to www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer seems to be missing the bitmap (http://waveplace.com/images/get_flash_player.gif)...

Yoshiki,
I'll make Windows & Linux installation movies in the next day or so. I've switched my capture machine to one that has Parallels, so I can easily switch between Windows, Mac OS X, and Ubuntu. A real benefit is that I can do some movies using the Sugar interface in Ubuntu, which I'll do when I get into how to load and save projects in Etoys. I'll probably show all ways to do it (all platforms) ... haven't decided yet.

Hi Tim,
Thanks a lot for your work. It would be great, if you could also show how to install the classic etoy-flaps, since the sugar-flap has no button for opening projects.
