It does not have all the features of the dedicated documentation generators (I have used camtasia and robodemo, now captivate). But I have not experienced any of the problems you mention with the windows media video 9 screen codec that it uses for screen videos. And it has a price tag that will be hard to beat (it is free for xp). -- Dr. Thomas Plagwitz Language Laboratory Coordinator, German Instructor Riverside Center 101 University of Tampa, Languages & Linguistics Tel: (813) 253-3333 Ext. 3917 -----Original Message----- From: Language Learning and Technology International Information Forum [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of LLTI-Editor Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2006 2:12 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: #8205 Screen Captures for video production --- Forwarded Message from "David Pankratz" <[log in to unmask]> --- >Date: Tue, 04 Apr 2006 16:51:39 -0500 >From: "David Pankratz" <[log in to unmask]> >To: <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: Screen Captures for video production >References: <[log in to unmask]> >In-Reply-To: <[log in to unmask]> Dear all, We are producing some "how to" videos in which we want to demonstrate how to use certain web pages. The best way to do this seems to be to perform "screen captures", using applications that make movies out of a sequence of actions you perform at your computer, which then allows you to show that movie to somebody else. We will be delivering these little movies online. We are rookies, and are fighting with issues like image quality, flickering of the final compressed sequences, and probably others we don't even know about yet! Does anybody have any recommendations for this process, for example which capturing software has worked for you, any tips for rookies, and so forth? Thanks much in advance...
