Recording Computer Use/Audio?

[luckystar]

Anyone have experience with any programs that record video of computer use and audio? I have a project at work where this could come in handy, and I need some suggestions as to which products I would want to stay away from or take a closer look at.

Thanks!

Are you talking about a program similar to the one shown here?



That was using CamStudio. You have the option of adding a mic input for audio commentary.

And it is a lot better than what that video shows....my bro just asked me how to get picasa working...and after trying to explain to him a billion times, I said screw it and made that.

CamStudio is free, is it not? I believe I used that at one point in the past and liked it but I'm not postive. Seems like the frame rate wasn't great though, but it may have only been a trial version :shrug:

I got it for free. Not quite sure if it was or not. I only used it for showing some uses of Sony Vegas for a guildmate. I use fraps for game footage.

I'm in the same boat. I've gotten so many different things over the years that I don't know if it was a free trial or if I just downloaded a full version from somewhere for free (when it was supposed to cost money).

Oh well. It worked well enough that I'd recommend it

I'm looking for something high quality, that captures every pixel and doesn't put a logo in the corner.

Its always fun when you want to do something and as you start to google it, you think....wait... somewhere in these TBs is a program that can do it.

Next thing you know your reading "Dorm Cookbooks 1998" while playing F-Zero on an emulated SNES.

The logo is youtube...not the program. And if you are saving it locally (i.e. not on a web broadcast) it is very high def.

At work they just purchase Camtasia Studio, have used it a couple of times, seems pretty good.

Oh, ok. I couldn't see the video - I'm at work. I just assumed there would be some sort of advertising for the product since you mentioned it being free, like I've seen from some similar programs like Div-X (I think that's the name). Thanks for the info!

Yup! And Div-X is awesome.

One of my foundest memories was doing a simultaneous speed run of Super Mario 64 emulated on our xbox's with a buddy of mine. Something about that tickled me

Camstudio is Logo Free as far as I remember (on the playback video )
