Phil, Thanks for sharing this information. I've been exploring screencasts and looking at different software and didn't see this one. Will definitely try it.
I used a free program called Camstudio, but it creates in avi and didn't have good results (screen resolution issues with trying to use it with moviemaker). There are two commerical programs that create flash movies -- Camtasia (John Udell uses this one to create his screencasts) and Captivate. I downloaded the free trial of captivate from Macromedia which makes flash movies, fairly easy to learn -- but too expensive for me.($300). I made two screencasts, though, (I should say, sloppy and choppy screencasts) -- they're here along with my production notes/learnings.

NewsForge The Online Newspaper for Linux and Open Source http://software.newsforge.com/ Title Flash in a flash with DemoStudio Date 2005.09.16 11:00 Author Chris Lynch Topic http://software.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/09/08/177226 DemoStudio is a GPL-licensed screen capture application for Microsoft Windows that can record single screen images, a series of screen images on a set interval, or screen video and audio. Whilst the screen capture functionality of DemoStudio amounts to little more than an organised version of Ctrl-PrintScreen, the audio/video capture functionality is superb, most notably for the software's ability to create live screen annotations and to convert its initial AVI format output to Flash. Installation of DemoStudio is simple, with a standard Windows installer provided for the application. After installation, the Recorder application should be your first point of call. The Recorder can capture a complete screen or a screen region, which you can select by dragging a region on screen at the start of the recording. You can control the initial recording to an impressive degree, managing frame rate and colour depth as well as controlling the codec that will be used to encode the output video. One minor gripe about the Recorder is that it can record only from Windows' primary monitor; if you are running dual video cards, or a video card with dual outputs, you will be able to record only from one of your screens. <snip) Full article at http://tinyurl.com/dys8v http://software.newsforge.com/software/05/09/08/177226.shtml?tid=131&tid =75 -- Phil Shapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.digitaldivide.net/profile/pshapiro http://www.digitaldivide.net/blog/pshapiro http://www.his.com/pshapiro/stories.menu.html "Wisdom starts with wonder." - Socrates _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@mailman.edc.org http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message. _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@mailman.edc.org http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
