Hello everyone! Does anyone knows about a good screen capture program that saves avi files of what you have on your screen and with hot keys to start and stop the capture?

I've seen tutorials with animated screen shots with Viewlet Builder by Qarbon. (I don't know what format(s) it saves as.) I know several NewTek Lightwave tutorials use it, including the frying pan tutorial below: http://newtek.com/products/lightwave/tutorials/modeling/modeling/fryingpan.html

You might look at Camtasia Studio for $349. I've played with Camtasia, and think it's fantastic!

The one I use, and really like cuz it lets you select any shape, etc, with the mouse and converts to many different formats and even has filter and a drawing program built in, yada yada...

having just researched this myself (and still doing a bit)... there are several that are pretty interesting but you can do all in the world you want with the free app: Bulent's Screen Recorder its available at twocows (I think thats where I downloaded it) and it is fully functional freeware. words of advice tho...depending on what kind of application you are working in, you will need a beast of a computer to make a good avi with a screen capture program. Think about it, your computer has to be fast enough to capture multiple screens per second, compress and write to a sequential avi while running other applications. In my case, Amapi..which means it has to have a lot of power just to do that alone. so, at the very least..the free program will show you if you have the computer to support the capture. :) BT
