Moved to General Developer
Heres a few - http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/vb/learning/
Do you mean an app that will make a video of you moving around the screen and record your voice and such?
We use MatchWare ScreenCorder 4 - I've not done a lot with it yet...

Sorry RobDog888, I want to make my own.
Thanks szlamany, I will take a look at MatchWare ScreenCorder 4.
Great tool indeed!
What kind of setting did you use - resolution, frame rates - stuff like that...
I'm curious.
I only played with the demo version. In my case high compression is not an issue. I increased the sound quality to 16b stereo and 44k1 sampling rate. I experimented with 22frames a second. When capturing a large area it looks better to export to AVI. However it takes a lot more of diskspace. It is very difficult to give a rule for how many bytes a second for diskspace. It depends on to many factors. The demo allows 45 seconds of recording so a real test can not be done. It looks good and I will use the def version.
Thanks for the info - keep me posted as you do more.
I'll do the same when I get back into it as well.
We are going to use this for both web-demo stuff and also training - so I'll be experimenting with all kinds of output formats and record parameters...
I will. Thanks.
Seems i'm too late, i must admit i love SnagIt! V8. Looks nice, feels nice and does have quite a few options.

EDIT: Mind the picture names in the file list :blush: looks very bad and must admit it's embarrassing as i know you won't believe this, but it's just a nickname i have for a friend of mine, Jane.
EDIT2: This was actually recorded with my PC under stress while it's defragmenting a rather mucked up hard disk. Downloading a 700Mb file @ 450kbps and of course the usual Fx etc...
That is very nice - thanks.
I'll have to compare features - the ScreenCoder is specifically about making video-training - so it's got some neat mouse-star and on-screen text balloons...
But as I've said, I have not used it much yet (and one of my customers paid for it - so it was free to me!).
Its not to late. I'm very busy with other things at this moment. As far as I can see "SnagIt" doesn't do any audio. I'm not sure which video formats they support.
"Camtasia", from the same company, however does it all. I have to take a look at it. Thanks.
Will be continued.
