Screen Capturing Software ?

[Yaldaram]

Thank You very much all. I've chosen Hypercam but the only problem is that I recorded 10 seconds clip and it ended up 30MB file. If I e.g. record 1 minute then I think the resulted movie file will be more then 120MB and it would need atleast 1.5 hour to upload the movie file to youtube with the internet connection that I've at the moment.

Other then that, Hypercam is fantastic while viewing it a glance.

Ya, you'll probably want re-encode the videos before uploading them anywhere almost all screen captures make really large files. Also look into the settings and see about lowering the resolution and quality if they don't need to be perfect for what you're doing.

If Hypercam is anything like Fraps then it'll recode into uncompressed AVI. You'll need to probably open, edit and export in something like Sony Vegas, Elements or Final cut to a nice YouTube friendly format like mp4 or mov

You can just push END/PRTSC (on computer) or FN + END/PRTSC
then just go into paint (if you have windows) and just click paste in the upper left corner
then if you want to edit you can if you are a paint expert then click save.

thats what I do.
this is just my way.

for browser ones the google screen capture (by google) for google chrome and screen capture elite for firefox.

I have a patched version on my blogspot page http://remixedcat.blogspot.com/p/my-fire...ns_13.html becuase the devs of screen capture elite got lazy.

Fraps = gaming
