Reviews of ScreenCasters
http://www.donationcoder.com/Reviews/Archive/ScreenCasting/
Reviews of ScreenCasters
ScreenCasting is the new hip term for recording movies of your computer desktop as you demonstrate some program.
The name is a bit misleading because you aren't actually broadcasting demonstrations live - you're recording movies to post on your website (or send via email, etc.).
After an exhaustive review of screencasting software, which involved making dozens of demo movies spanning several full hours of video, we narrowed down the list of best screencasting tools to a small handfull. We tried hard to choose a single best tool from this set of top contenders, but in the end we decided that we couldn't pick a single winner. Instead, this review represents the first shared Best-in-Class award at DonationCoder.com
