Video capture program thing

[ta2shop]

hy guys, i would like to now what program or thing is JaceK using for his good cuality video tutorials?
i want to start making videos on my tattoo machines, like description videos!
anyone got a clue?

[jacek]

I can answer that

I use ffmpeg which is a command line tool, basically this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1392026

Although to make it a bit easier to use I made a GUI interface with php-gtk.

For windows, I have no idea what is good, but I am sure someone here will

Camtasia Studio is a great tool to use. It's kind of pricey though

Lucky for me we also need this for various school projects, so I got it for free!

Of course there are always... other free alternatives to my solution

It's kind of pricey though

£249.50 incl. VAT

My version was a " bit " cheaper.
$10 Don't ask me how xD

Well, as I said, there are ways to sort of get around having to pay

If you didn't get that hint, don't bother.

there must be free programs that do the same jobs.

Camtasia does have a free version. Works just like the paid version but with a logo on top of the screen. A little Windows Movie Maker magic and that logo is gone.

You can use the hypercam 2 (to record the screen) with some codecs such as:
- Xvid
- DivX

I personally prefer DivX, but that also costs (not too much). As for Xvid, I believe it's free and I heard just as good. You will have to configure the settings in hypercam to use the codec.

If you just want a high detail editor, I use Sony Vegas which is worth A LOT, but you can get away with using movie maker, but you can't configure the quality very good. Camtasia is a screen recorder and editor, and that is all good. But like Tino said, there is always a way to get it for free

yes sir, and one of the ways is trho the piratebay gotit working fine and easy!

[jacek]

Everyone knows where to pirate software, discussion of such things is not allowed on the forum.

Any links would have gotten people warnings.

Sorry to be a pain

ok, totaly agery, i was not refering to that or triing to make spam, it is just where i found the camtasia thing!

I used to use camtasia and Captivate.

Loved Captivate, but being adobe.. it had too many features that i couldn't make use of (I made youtube tutorials) and they didnt allow interactive tutorial so I gave up on captivate.
