Desktop Screen Capturing and Audio Video Recording Softwares


                People and knowledge can be acquired only at a premium in this age.  Reusability is the mantra and we are accelerating our routine activities to do something new and interesting. 

                If you are one of the senior members of your team, chances are that your considerable time is spent on imparting the project technical knowledge again and again to your juniors.  How it will be if you could record your technical presentations and ask your juniors to refer those videos first before asking any questions ?  You feel you will be having a great time, isn't it ?

                 These are some of the Desktop screen and audio recording software available in the market.

        1.)  Cisco WebEx Player for Playback
                   * Nice tool to record and playback. Recommended.
                   * Guide : http://www.communiqueconferencing.com/webex_editor_guide.pdf

       2.) CamStudio - Desktop Screen Recorder

                   * Free Open Source Software
                   * The output video consumed so much disk space in my test run.
                      I might missed something; May be I need to reduce the screen and resolution.
                    * In general, it is good.

  
       3.) Microsoft  Expression Encoder
                     * Paid software.

       4.) Camtasia Studio
                    * Good features.
                    * Comes with hefty price tag.

India's Mobile Price Comparision Websites



Do you want to search mobile prices across leading online stores in India ?

I see this facility in Sulekha.com, 91mobiles and in mysmartprice.com.

Enjoy.

Once I bought cheaper 'spice' mobile phone for Rs. 1200.  It has hell lot of features for this small amount.  But it emanates lot of heat if I talk continuously for 15 minutes.  This problem was not seen with my older Nokia 6030 Express music phone.  So, I stopped using the cheaper phones.

So, check the SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) of your new phone before buying it. More the SAR value, more the radiation you would feel.  So, choose the low SAR value phone. 

Nokia phone SAR values can be found here,
