Hi Aidan : Same applies to making HTML tutorials , of course , but as I've said , there are so many good and totally free HTML editors out there that I wouldn't even consider trying to list them here . So why then do so few people bother to take the time to create tute's ? (just a retorical question , no need to attempt to answer) . It's also human nature to feel good when you've contributed to the community . One of my main points which I don't remind repeating , is that info posted here just goes down a sinkhole and dissapears . Unless you've saved the file and remember you did , finding that valuable info can be tough , and more importantly , if you're a newbie just trying RS , all that archive info is of no use to you . If you post to the Forum at least it's there for anyone to see , if they have the time to dig all the way back through pages of posts ,and only if the thread was labelled properly . If it wasn't that info is probably not going to be read again . So that brings us to the HTML tute . It's quick , it's simple , it's free , it's easily linked to from many web sites ... it's perfect , but it's rare . Your slowly disappearing mail on video screen captures could be an awesome HTML tutorial . Download a few of the freeware S/W's and put them through their paces then write a tutorial about your experience . Now you've really done something ! Now you've saved dozens of other people the time and trouble of having to do it . Write it properly and you may even inspire others to create video tutorials . I can punch key words into Google , surf a bit , then post links to this list , but what have I accomplished ? Easy to do but how much time have I saved anyone , or what have I taught them ? I don't think it's a question of time at all . Even if it takes a month or two to do a tute , who cares ? A little bit every week and in no time it's done . Even better , find a mate who is also inter- ested in that topic and team up to create one . Seems to be some kind of fear (fear of the unknown?)preventing people from offering their gained knowledge or expertise to the community . studio www.niagara.com/~studio www.studiodynamics.net > > > At 12:50 03/01/2006, you wrote: > >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.
