I actually was debating on making video tutorials. I looked around for a good free screen cap program and I found camstudio and using their lossless codec makes it look REALLY good. I have a microphone so I can easily do it.

Havent used camstudio, I ended up making a video over the same thing, but it was 20 minutes long

I've tried Camtasia and the quality was never great for me. But for something thats free - its the best I could find too.

Good tutorial anyway.

It can record in 1080p apparently. So I might do a quick test tutorial on this lil plate thing I made. It would be a really simple, poopie, tutorial. But i'd use it as a test.

I also need a decent video editor other than Windows Movie Maker. :s

It might be able to do 1080p but I had problems with colours,they might have fixed it since I used it though.

Windows movie maker should be fine for what you need it for.

Yeah, I had problems with when I had it in .avi format.

And I hate WMM.. A lot.

I used camtasia, with a little editing, it turned out nicely. I saved it in .swf and .mp4

Well I've watched the video and it looks as good as my desktop just about. Sooo.

Does Camtasia watermark?
