Making a "video" of computer display's output

[jwells777]

I was hoping that the ATOT community could point me towards a tool (preferrably free) which would allow me to capture a video feed of my monitor's display. I would like to put together a simple training video to show how to use a piece of software and think that this would be more elegant than a million screen shots.

Thanks,

J

Off the top of my head I think theres an app called "Capture Wiz" that'll do this IIRC.

Maybe this will point you in the right direction also.

Windows Media Encoder also allows you to capture the screen to a video file.

Years ago when I was training I successfully used a shareware called snagit to do screen and video caps. Not sure if it's still around, but it was a decent tool back then.

We've used a commercial product called Camtasia with success before. Of course, it does cost a bit more than 'free'.

I'm looking for the same thing but sound only but I'veh ad zero success with a few programs I tried...

I've only played around with it briefly, but Cam Studio appears to work as advertised.

Thanks for the direction on these...I knew that ATOT would have some good ideas.
