I’ve not used any software for creating videos of screen actions yet.
What would be the consensus here of how this stacks up CamStudio?

Thanks

Quality is a function of lossiness of the capture codec, frame interval and system speed. Don’t capture to the system drive. I have modified PowerPoint presentations to run at 1/10 speed in order to get pixel-perfect captures of the content. Embedded video needs to run slower, too. Real-time capture can be more tricky. Jing is like any other web-based app – TANSTAAFL.

I wonder how the Quality vs. Size ratio stacks up.
I come to think about it, has anyone seen a Screen recorder comparison, anywhere. I don’t recall ever to have seen one.

For example, how good is Debut Video Capture compared to – for example – Jing, Camtasia’s free online service.

Look at VH Screen Capture Driver 2.1.4 as a way to hook into the low-level screen output. http://www.hmelyoff.com/index.php?section=8
The UltraVNC (yes, the eternal RC …) folks have a modified version of CamStudio that uses their screen driver hooks. I don’t know if they’ve fixed the CamCodec size limitation of 2G. You can use TechSmith’s lossless capture codec so this isn’t a big deal. I use Flash video for just about every presentation now because it preserves the proper luminance range. Most general media players clip to TV-safe luminance. That’s why white screen captures don’t play properly with them.

I have to try this one out – I’ve been using “Wink” http://debugmode.com/wink/ for my ‘Show and Tell’ presentation/instructional videos, but this seems to have many more output options.
Should be handy for websites with Flash-Based Video Players, where the entire interface is Flash-Based, such as MSNBC, etc. – These are always ‘Tricky’, because capturing the Flash Video usually captures the Interface only, without the actual content.

I’m NOT suggesting or condoning copyright infringement, just ‘Fair Use’ as allowed in the U.S. at least, to make the content ‘Portable’, without needing Internet access!

Hmm, gotta check out “AMCap” too!

It places two directories in the start menu that you do not need. Unless you opted to install other software during the installation process, these two directories contain other – empty – subdirectories.

All you need to do is delete these two directories from the start menu (called “NCH Software Suite” and “Video Related Software”) and the issue is gone forever.

BTW I did see AMCap before, but was scared off from trying it by the “buy this program” text under the download button (which, on second examination, seems to pertain to some advanced options).

When you install this it also places links to the other available programs all over the place. In your start menu, on your desktop. I found it to be nagging and annoying.

It looks and operates like a direct rip-off of AMCap.
