The process of capturing your computer activities is known as
screen-cast. A screen-cast is a digital recording of computer screen
output, also known as a video screen
capture. In the old days products
such as Lotus ScreenCam were used. Early products produced large files
and had limited editing features. But today you have a lot of
flexibility. These
Softwares enable you to replace text based help
files with on-line multimedia developed and enhanced help files for
specific applications. These rich multimedia help files/tutorials will
provide end users with diverse variations of helpful information and
give power to your application. There are many softwares available in
the market, that capture your screen. But I would suggest using
WINCAM 2000, because it a lot of flexibility, and several other advantages:The
main advantage is that you can easily capture the screen without
affecting your PC processing power whereas; other softwares chew up a
lot of processing power during the screen capture, which can be
frustrating.You can record all the screen activities such as
the movement of the mouse, the processes of applications, the inputs
from the keyboard etc. WinCAM's editing tools allows you to
insert various shapes of caption boxes, graphics, images, narrations ,
background music, and sound effects.The movies can be converted to EXE, WCM, AVI, ASF, MOV, RM and SWF files.Link to WINCAM’s website:http://wincam.net/ (WinCAM 2000)However if for some reason you don’t like WinCAM you can always look for alternatives;http://www.turbodemo.
