I thought it would be a straightforward process to record my screen
activity as a way
to train up some testers in our company. The advantages being that they could be
tailored for our own products, and many of the people are distributed worldwide.

Basically show an IRB session interacting with WATIR to illustrate the primary
features.

I tried Wink and Camstudio and I found the process to be anything but simple.

No 'smart' encoding settings (you get blink-and-you-miss-it or
takes-forever-to-encode).
Too much trial and error involved in identifying a sweet spot between legibility
and practical files sizes.

Wink was doing okay even if it took me ages to get a decent result
with it, but every
time I used it, it would just choke every now and then, stalling IE and IRB.

Has anyone any experience with these tools for making this kind of training
material or is screen recording software something that you just have to pay
for to get timely results?

regards,
Richard
