The easy answer is, probably
First thing to consider is the equipment you will be watching with. Does it
have coaxial, red/white/yellow or s-video output? (Like for a second monitor
to watch the conference call) If so, then borrow (or buy for $100) a simple
dvd recorder, and use it just like a vhs recorder. Then you have your own
copy to work from.
90 minutes of video could be 900 megs or more - a rather large download.
Any smaller and the picture quality may suffer.
But, if you do get the file in avi or mpeg-2 format, it is not difficult to
find some video authoring software which will let you burn a standard dvd.
Similarly, if you use a dvd recorder, the video can be put in mpeg-2, with
automatic chapters every ten minutes ( or whatever you choose), and set in
regular .vob files, just like a commercial dvd. You can read this on a
standard computer and edit it if you wish.
Of course, test it first with a local feed into your conference equipment.
