The RipRoar kit from ToyQuest allows kids to easily produce their own short movies and then uploaded the clips automatically to YouTube.
The RipRoar Creation Station ($100) features a full resolution camera with a mountable green screen, tripod, integrated software and a bonus content CD.
Kids simply record themselves or their friends in front of the green screen and effortlessly produce their own short movie by replacing the green with any background, cutting and pasting video and images, and adding animation and/or music.

I second that MAC thing, that would be cool, I have yet to find a device that could not be ported to the MAC, I have been testing the interface but no success so far, I believe it is possible to record using a quicktime (modified plugin) and will actively investigate an alternative method of connecting to a MAC, just get the word out to the MAC geeks, and someone will find a way,
Challenge the geeks
The RipRoar is a rip off.
BEWARE: It does not work!!!!
So far your correct, I looked at the hardware version and it the hardware is, Hercules Blog Webcam

The problem is not with the hardware its the software interface,
given the proper interface it can be done.
downlaoded software, cannot get system to recognize camera and cannot get program to run without camera being pluged in. cannot contact company without giving out password for my own email acount. please help me contact this company. I have a PC (vista)
Daren, we don’t sell or manufacture products at GeekAlerts. Maybe you should try contacting the retailer (link included in the article above) with your questions about the “RipRoar Video Creation Station”.
how do we get the green screen back rounds to work?
I bought Rip Roar creation station over a year ago. They should change the name to Rip Off Creation station. I tried e-mailing the company and their box is full. Do NOT buy anything from Rip Roar!
I bought one, but only for the green screen. Believe it or not, it’s actually cheaper to buy this than it is to buy a green screen.
The tripod it came with, well, I converted it into a stedicam (By attaching a 5 lb weight.)
Actually, It worked quite well for my daughter. She loved it. Now that she’s gone, I decided to pull it out of her closet. The only problem I’m having now is trying to find the software for it. Her computer is long since been gone. All of the websites seem to take me for an endless loop of just trying to download the software. Please help.
