Hi George and all,
Good stuff George. What I was thinking of was one stop shop simple apps /
workflow that would record the screen as you go while also recording the
audio from your microphone live - all in one. Then commit to a video file
or Flash file and upload. Minimum of steps!
Reason for this - if there is such a free app with such ease, more people
may be inclined to contribute video tutes. If making these tutes involves
compositing seperate audio and video OR if there is any grunt work involved
in doing same - the number of people willing to participate in a potential
RS video tute library will be very small. The least path of resistance is
the best - make it as easy as possible and more people are likely to
subscribe - any extra effort and people will either not bother or bomb out
- ITS HUMAN NATURE - also people have other things to do in there lives ....
Cheers
Aidan

My little boy uses aviscreen classic (freeware) to capture video from the
screen for school projects - http://www.bobyte.com/
I'm using Microsoft Movie Maker2 with 9 year olds and they can cope with it.
PCAdvisor UK Feb edition had a ULead video editor on the cover disk - it
looks more competent than Movie Maker but I haven't tried it.
We use Bink and Smack (radgametools.com) to do any batch conversions - my
digital camera only does .mov which Microsoft Movie Maker won't recognise
for some strange reason. Anyway, Bink and Smack converts satisfactorily.

Hi Guys,
Re - video / audio / screen capture for tutorial vids, here are some
ideas. Free where possible:
*Windows Media Encoder (free) - specific to windows though:
*http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/9series/encoder/default.aspx
I have not tried this out, but I am sure if one uses the WME the output
will be WMV, one could then convert the WMV to any other format.
*Wink [ as others here have pointed out ]:
*http://www.debugmode.com/wink/
This app makes screen grab files for tutorials. Not sure if it does audio.
*Audacity:
*http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Freeware Audio editor
*Wax:
*http://www.debugmode.com/wax/
is a high performance and flexible video compositing and special effects
software. May be possible to use to combine the video and audio files????
ONES THAT COST:
*Bulent's Screen Recorder 3:
*http://www.thesilver.net/index.htm
Not free, but does the lot it seems - $24 or so
*Capturewizpro:
*http://www.pixelmetrics.com/CapWizPro/index.htm $30
*1st Screen Recorder & Video Capture: *
http://www.screenrecorder.us/ $30 -
looks ideal and good
*Desktop Screen Record 5:
*http://www.recordscreen.com/ $30
ANY ONE ELSE WHO CAN SUGGEST = F R E E = APPS FOR MAKING SCREENGRAB
TUTORIALS ????
Cheers
