Screencast Capture Software Recommendation

Can anyone recommend an app to make a screencast in my Xfce Arch desktop? I would like to capture the audio at the same time as the video. I want to training videos, showing how to use certain software packages.
I see that some recommend Xvidcap but there are others. Maybe there is one in the repos?
Thanks!

xvidcap is old (10/2006) but works very well and is in [extra]
$ pacman -Ss xvidcap
extra/xvidcap 1.1.7-1
A small tool to capture things going on on an X-Windows display to either individual frames or an
MPEG video
I'd be interested in seeing what other people recommend also.

  • Recommendations for Video Capture Software?

    Hi,
    I'm looking for screen/video capture software to record what's on my macbook screen in video format. I've been looking at Camtasia, but wanted to know if there are any other alternatives I should consider as well?
    I need something that will record what I do on my macbook screen, as well as let's me annotate and edit what's been recorded. Any recommendations?
    Thanks!

    This is a bit strange with apple servers today. For some strange reason, there seems to be a 5-10 min. delay in my post on this one thread only ....very weird.
    Oh well, I'll post the info again in hope that it sticks ....
    You can capture to iMovie which is what I suggest or directly to iDVD6 (via 1 step or magic iDVD). Your choice.

  • BlackBerry Desktop software recommendations for improvement

    BlackBerry Desktop software recommendations for improvement
    Recommendation:
    1, increase SMS and MMS module
    2, the SMS and MMS module to connect to the BlackBerry via Bluetooth

    While I love my BlackBerry Curve phone (and will most likely never go back to a phone running Windows Mobile OS), something that drives me absolutely crazy is the inability of the Desktop Manager software to monitor my activity in the Outlook client and autosync changes while my phone is connected via USB.

  • Is there video capture software which will capture only the canvas and not my cursor or the way I move the canvas?

    Hi,
    Does anybody know of a video capture software which only captures the canvas and not my cursor or the way I move the canvas?
    I want to simulate a painting being created brush stroke by brush stroke. It would also be good if I could select the layer that it is meant to be recording.
    I guess this would have to be a plugin of some sort.
    If not - do you have any good suggestions of the best workflow of creating this from Photoshop to After Effects (I don't want to use revealing paths etc...)
    Thanks for any help,
    Luke

    It would also be good if I could select the layer that it is meant to be recording.
    That won't work. Screen cap tools by their nature always capture the display buffer of the whole active window. At best, they respect GDI "drawing layers" and regions like Camtasia does, meaning they differntiate between mouse cursors, window frames and the actual content to get more efficient compression. For the rest - see the previous answer.

  • AVI Screen capture software

    A while back someone was looking for screen capture software. I found this free software which works rather well.
    http://www.bobyte.com/

    I use both CamStudio and Microsoft's Community Clips.  Both are freeware, and I've had no problem with the quality of the video.
    File size is more of an issue -- both applications default to autoadjusting settings during recording to try to maintain the best quality, and I've seen a lot of variance with the file size in the end.  Community Clips isn't very configurable (what you can configure has to be done by editing a profile for Windows Media Encoder) and I haven't been tremendously successful with changing options in CamStudio to limit file size while still maintaining quality.
    I've been more successful by paying attention to factors outside of the actual capture software:
    1. Use a lower resolution on my monitor while capturing.  (When I'm working, I like it up at 1920x1200, but turn it much lower for capturing.)
    2. Turn the color scheme down to 16-bit.  (Not a big deal when I'm recording podcasts of programming examples, etc.)
    3. Capture in region mode or application mode, rather than full desktop.
    4. I tend to capture short segments, then put them together in PE.  That way, I can easily re-record a segment and try adjusting it with some small tweaks.
    I've only been doing this for a month or so, but these applications have worked pretty well for me for producing content at work.

  • Screen capture software?

    My job just became more mobile so they bought me this new
    souped up laptop to handle my new challenges...I've always used
    Roboscreencapture as my screenshot utility (more versatile than the
    Captivate screenshot solution), however it's not only discontinued,
    but seemingly no longer available anywhere even as free-ware....So
    that brings me to my question - What are you using as a screenshot
    solution, for when Captivate's screen-capture utility will not do?
    If you're aware of a decent freeware solution for a temporary
    basis, please share...

    Much more.
    Personally, I'm very fond of TechSmith's "SnagIt". But it
    will set you back about $40. The up side is that it's totally worth
    it.

    I can vouch for both those suggestions :)

  • Video capturing software and editing?

    Hi everyone....My first post.
    I have an iTouch (i love it....my first ever apple thingy)
    I am interested in podcasts for my website and for publishing on itunes and of course, synching with my itouch..
    I know how to do all this and here is my question:
    I use FRAPS for capturing screen video of gameplay when playing certain games, but I am not sure whether this is the best program for doing this as the quality that comes out on the itouch isnt as good as I expected.
    So, to summarise...
    1. Whats the best capturing software to use for my PC?
    2. Whats the best software to use for editinig my video?
    I am using windows XP pro SP2.
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Since you're looking for Windows software you should probalby post your question on a Windows forum such as, as this forum focuses on compatbility issues between Macs and Windows.

  • Video Screen Capture Software

    Does anyone have any advice on their favorite screen capture software? I've done some searches and seen reference to a few types (iShowU, CaptureIt!, ScreenFlow, etc.). There are a bunch of options and I'm not stoked with SnapZ Pro, which I had been using before.
    Is there a consensus on the best program or is it more of a favorite flavor thing?
    Thanks,
    Stef

    iShowU can do pretty well everything and anything.

  • Video Screen Capture Software and FCP

    I am shooting a video and need to incorporate some video screen capture software. There will be an audio overlay, so I do not need to record audio simultaneously while recording. I will be encoding with H.264.
    What should I use?
    Thank You!

    iShowU and ScreenFlow are too very popular capture utilities.
    I prefer the latter.

  • Webcam/ Video Capture Software

    I keep hearing that some logitech webcams work with Macs even though it says it doesn't. Does anyone know it Logitech QuickCam Messenger WebCam works with a mac, or if anyone can suggest a similar webcam that does?
    I also wanted to know if anyone knows a video capture software for macs? I want to be able to record tutorials off my screen.

    I assume your WebCam is a USB Camera.
    If so, you will need at least LabVIEW and the Vision Acquisition Software for 2009 to natively aquire images from your webcam - which has to have a DirectShow Interface.
    The first version where this was possible was LV8.6 and the Vision Acquisition Software 8.6 with an additional IMAQ USB library

  • Signature Capture Software Installation on PDA

    Hi,
    In note: 897289 (Signature Capture Software Installation/Deployment), Using functionality on PDA point (6), the creme version is 3.27a.
    How to edit the 'Register Plugin/Unregister Plugin' file after copy to desktop?
    And in /windows/creme/bin, there isn't the 'cremePie.dll' file, where to get it?
    Because when click on 'Regiter Plugin', the message "Loadlibrary("CremePie.dll") failed. GetLastError returns 7e.
    Please advise.
    Thanks

    Hello Kb,
    How to edit the 'Register Plugin/Unregister Plugin' file after copy to desktop?
    Copy the files to desktop, right click ,select "send to" option and send it to either notepad or textpad. You should be able to edit this using notepad or textpad.
    And in /windows/creme/bin, there isn't the 'cremePie.dll' file, where to get it?
    Cremepie.dll will be in /windows/creme/bin. If it is not there,then creme installation is not successful.  Try reinstalling the the creme again and after installing the creme, perform a soft reset of the device so that all the Dll's are loaded .
