Thanks for the list. I’ve had great success with Apple’s Quicktime’s screen recorder over SMART Notebooks recorder. Unfortunately, it doesn’t (yet?) give the option to record only portions of the screen. I just played with Screentoaster after reading your blog and I’m excited to use it next school year! Thanks for the ideas!

I’m looking around for something new, having used up the limit on my free Jing. Cheers Larry!

For those of you who use SMART Notebook, you have a free screencasting tool built in – SMART Recorder. It works very well with your SMART Board.

I use a couple of different free tools that are not listed here. You might want to consider Tipcam, from http://www.utipu.com or you could try Debut from NCH Software at http://www.nchsoftware.com/capture/index.html

I use them both for quick and easy screencaps with output to various video formats such as FLV, AVI, MPG, WMV to name a few of the more popular formats.

Had a lot of fun creating a screencast using Screenr. Seemed the most logical choice since I am already on Twitter and didn’t have to create yet another account. What a great tool!

Dear Larry,

I just loved your list, as always I must confess that once I started using Jing, never stopped! I even have a paid account to http://screencast.com to upload all my screencasts to it. It´s worth every penny.

Thanks for one more wonderful list!

Beijos.

Good list. I really love Screentoaster too. Without a doubt the most simple screencasting tool I have ever used. The problem I find with Jing is that it doesn’t give you enough options once you have made the screencast. You can’t save the file to be edited in another program. Screentoaster will allow you to save your file as either a .mov file or even a Flash movie.

Hi, Larry. I’ve been usign http://screenr.com to make screencasts. What I like about it? It’s easy to use and after you record, you can tweet it automatically and also download it to your youtube account. The easiest tool I’ve used so far. The quality of the image is also very good. The only problem is that you have a limit of 5 minutes.
