Re: how to record voice and screen activity on the cheap?
Sorry for hijacking the thread, but I have a problem with TeamViewer: I can initiate a session from a Mac to a PC, but not the other way around, or from a Mac to a Mac. Any idea what could be wrong? I’ve tried both over the internet and on the LAN (to which all three, 2 Macs and the PC are connected) with appropriate settings, but no luck. The PC is running XP, the Macs 10.4.11 -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

I thought that I'd let you guy's in on what I ended up with. I bought iShowU HD and it works great!

how to record voice and screen activity on the cheap?
Every once in a while, I have a need to give grandma instructions on how to do something on her mac (as well as others) and I would like to record my movements on the screen and my voice then be able to email the file to her or them... Is this possible? And hopefully cheap or possibly free? any ideas?

Re: how to record voice and screen activity on the cheap?
I would advise this is way too much work and too much bandwidth for an email. Get TeamViewer for you and Grandma (and anyone else you are doing this for). It's free, and from what you said, way more appropriate.

Re: how to record voice and screen activity on the cheap?
There are few products so good I sound like I'm ranting about them. This is one such product. My sister, 250 miles away and a computer newbie needed lots of help. From my MDD G4 I can see her old HP laptop and both look over her shoulder and drive her PC. It's free for individuals, just download and use. The paid choice is for corporations and costs quite a bit. If they sold the individual product, I'd pay for it, it's that good.

Re: how to record voice and screen activity on the cheap?
I thought someone said you could do this same thing for free using Skype? I don't mean as a recording a file, but that with a live Skype connection you have an option to display your desktop live while you talk live, so you can demonstrate whatever you need interactively, which would seem best to me.
