Let CamStudio make videos of your computer screen!

Below are two quotes from their home page which caught my eyes.

uno:

CamStudio is able to record all screen and audio activity on your computer and create industry-standard AVI video files and using its built-in SWF Producer can turn those AVIs into lean, mean, bandwidth-friendly Streaming Flash videos (SWFs)

Due:

You can download and use it completely free - yep - completely 100% free for your personal and commercial projects as CamStudio and the Codec are released under the GPL (for more details on this license, click here.)

This was all I wanted to know about CamStudio and there ended my search for a screen capture utility. After installing and trying, CamStudio left me with no reason to hit Google.com for more software of similar nature. I wanted this for giving a video demo configuring route based VPN on our Juniper Netscreen NS25. This proved to be a very handy tool for creating demos and short video tutorials for people who need support beyond voice. I have not tried any feature in CamStudio other than creating a screen shot video. But that was all I wanted and CamStudio did it extremely well in with very simple steps.

I suggest you download and install it. You will never know when you want to tell a video story to someone who has no receptive ability enable by default on his/her ears when it comes to technical trouble shooting.
