In order to improve the support for the eDoc Server, the institutional repository of the MPS, I made some investigations and tests on screencast software. I tested mainly freeware. Please see my del.icio.us bookmarks in order to get an overview on possible solutions, which can be used within a windows environment.

Problems I detected[edit]

  • The tools I tested (CamStudio and BB Flashback Express) created quite big files. So either you select a software, which compresses your video or you have to additionally use a video compressor.
  • I uploaded one of my videos, that I made with CamStudio to youtube, so that I would be able to easily integrate it into a blog etc. The quality of the uploaded video is quite bad. The writings on the screen can not be red really.

Questions[edit]

  • Is there a good screencast software for Windows, that can be recommended?
