Re: Anyone know of some screen recording software?

I've been trying out some stuff on Windows, and there are a bunch of them, though not all of equal quality. A few are free, but most are trial-ware, and if you want the full version without a watermark on your video, you have to pay $. The one I've been using the most is Bulent's Screen Recorder 3. It can record to AVI files. It does straight screen sampling, can record audio, and you can put in subtitles. You can tell it whether you want it to record the mouse cursor or not. It has a "studio" utility where you can edit what you've recorded, cut portions out you don't want, etc. It performs OK on my 1.4 Ghz laptop w/ Windows XP for basic presentation recording, though it does slow down the machine a bit.

In addition to what Ramon Leon and Lukas Renggli have done, Giles Bowkett has done a few screencasts on Squeak and Seaside at http://vimeo.com/user:giles/clips/search:seaside.

I've also had the thought of producing some Squeak screencasts on certain functions and posting them on my blog. Just haven't gotten around to really focusing on it yet.
