How to set up and use CamStudio to record your desktop

 

CamStudio is a wonderful tool, that's free, you can use to record things happening on your computer screen. If you're not into burning money on similar software and you aren't a stickler to absolute quality, CamStudio is a perfect tool. The only problem is, it's deceptively hard to get great quality. This is a tutorial on not only how to set up CamStudio correctly for the best quality (and what some options do), but also how to fix a common problem with the results.

System Requirements

OS: Windows XP, Vista, or 7.
CPU: Preferably Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Phenom X3 or X4, or better. The more cores you have the better.
GPU: Not a real factor
RAM: You probably want at least 2GB for long haul videos.
HDD: Lots. You could end up with gigabyte sized files.

Get the programs

If you don't already have it, download CamStudio at http://camstudio.org/.
You'll also need VirtualDub for video correction purposes. Download the 32-bit version, regardless if you have a 64-bit operating environment. If you use the 64-bit version, most of the codecs you have installed will not show up or be compatible with the 64-bit version of VirtualDub.

Both applications are free and open source if you're into that sort of thing.

How to make a Mobile version of your Website or Blog, with Mobify

 

 

We all love the internets, but sometimes (even on the iPhones screen) things just dont fit, or they don't go in the right places. Things get jumbled up, and its hard for your readers on mobile devices such as iPhone, Blackberry or Razor. The text is all jumbled up and the images dont fit on the screen.

And don't even get me started on making seperate stylesheets (Pain in the ars) and all the browser redirection crap and unstable everything, it just gets mixed into a big mess!

In this video I will show you how to make a Mobile version of your website easy enough for a beginner, but if you need to, you can edit full css.

 

Make one now!
