Screencast Software – Two free ones that I really liked…

by rahul 5/23/2009 5:01:14 AM

I have been pretty quiet for the last couple of months. There were two reasons for this hiatus. First, I was getting into a little more nitty-gritty of MOSS 2007 and getting my hands dirty with MOSS Development. Secondly, I was thinking about a new way of sharing the knowledge. Not that writing hurts, but more because it is much easier to show something than type it out.

Taking screen capture using software for demo/training/sharing is nothing new. I personally feel that when it comes to any professional utility, Camtesia is the best (but not free). There are a quite a few of them out there on the net... but a couple of them which I found today from a discussion forum is really worth a mention.

Utility Spotlight:Screen Recorder – Free and very simple to use, outputs WMV file.

Jing for Windows – Free, little more functionality, outputs SWF file, but I found the size of the file to be a little on the higher side (due to better quality images). I have decided against it since I am under privileged when it comes to bandwidth at home and I don’t want to work with big uploads/downloads.

Suit Yourself.

For the time being, I am selecting the former and that means, going forward you can see some screen casts from me in my blogs posts. Stay tuned...

Cheers! CoolWave
