Don't be shy ... say Hi!
Welcome to CamStudio's very own Forum - only 2 years in the making!
I love to hear stories about how users are using or intend to use CamStudio. so why not post a short intro here and feel free to include any links to example videos you've made (no blatant spamming though - I will be watching!)
Cheers
Nick :)

Since I reinstalled my laptop often, I eventually lost track of the cd. About 1 or 2 year(s) later I found CamStudio.
CamStudio reminded me a little of Camtasia, I mixed them up a few times...
I don't do screencasts often, the last few times I have used CamStudio are:
-The Stereo Mix (record from speakers) example.
-Converted a PowerPoint to a video.
They were quite a while back. However I'm still interested in using CamStudio again.

I started using Camstudio 2.5 at the weekend, and recorded my first tutorial yesterday.
What a great programme and easy to use.
I'm looking for mods to help me with the forum long-term but after re-reading that post - I didn't really need that phrase, so it's history.
I don't want to appear *too* needy! ;)
There won't be a lot of time required since there aren't that many members at the moment, but hopefully as more join more people will put themselves forward as mods.
I'll be posting answers whenever and wherever I can anyway ...
I've been using Camstudio a little, mainly to help explain some techniques in Photoshop and Gimp. I've only posted them on a Norwegian forum I frequent. When it comes to screencasting, I've also tried Windows Media Encoder and Wink, but I prefer CamStudio, even though I tend to spend quite a while encoding. Likely I'll be checking in here from time to time.
Nothing much to say. I used CS for a little bit, to do some tutorials on how to do stuff for my (computer illiterate) friends.
Anywho, I love it and I hope that 2008 will bring more user, more donations and of course more development.
Peace.
I discovered CamStudio awhile back and have been using it to produce how2 videos of our software. I like it, Now I'm a developer that has been developing for over 20 years. So I'm used to getting things done in a varity of creativity. I showed this to our documentation people, which poo pooed it cause it was not a Adobe or some other studio product that you did not have to know much to use. Plus, it was old. Oh well there loss, they still contact me to do things I use CamStudio for that they cannot do themselves.
I'm excited to see intrest in this product. It is hard to find tools that do just what you want, in a simple manner. I am, when time permits playing the code. I'm a cobol to pascal to CA Clipper to c/c++ and now for the past 4 years a C# .Net guy. I would love to see this move to a C# .net enviorment. My c++ is a bit rusty. Just don't think that way anymore.
Blah, blah.... thanks Nick for picking up the ball and running with it. I am courious on the story of how you and your assoicates (if any) got this project.
Happy Creativity to all!
I learned about CamStudio through SourceForge, I always surf on SourceForge because of the free and open-source software. Before, I used HyperCam, as I prefer to call it, CrappyCam. I use CamStudio for making How-To videos and other stuff like that.
But Cam Studio has enabled me to show my clients how to do some of these basic beginner techniques and procedures that we sometimes take for granted. And since it is a video that can be viewed and reviewed as many times or at any time they wish, it is perfect for those who may tend to be a bit forgetful. When I first started doing this, when a client would ask for help with a certain issue, I would create the video and either send them a link to the video file on my site or I'd deliver it to them on a CD and walk them through it the first time. But now I'm starting to post them to You Tube so that they can watch them whenever they need a refresher. I've gotten a great response to these videos from my clients and Cam Studio has made it all possible while also making it quick and easy to do it. Oh, and let's not forget about the whole open source free part either. Nick, if you could see the reaction on some of their faces when they watch a tip or trick and are able to do some of this stuff on their own - it is really something! It is literally changing lives!
I can't thank Nick and his helpers enough for making this product available and continuing to develop it. I'm looking forward to following along as this community and this product continues to grow.

Fernando here - I'm a networking/security guy. I was looking for something to help me capture some of the webcasts I attend for later playback. I had tried a few screen recorders in the past, but only now did I come across CamStudio. Loved it!
I'll post questions/suggestions on a separate thread.
Cheers!
Hi all,
I'm a QA Lead and I just logged a whopper of a performance issue with a SWF attachment created with CamStudio to show the Developers how bad the performance was in the Live Production site.
Our developers run a micro version of the system locally, their servers, databases and web clients are all local instances, so everything is instantaneous for them. QA has a properly deployed environment that tries to mirror Production's setup, but performance is still different because of network differences.
The developers are great guys and I give very explicit bug reproduction steps, but it was incredibly useful for them to see it and experience it (somewhat) for themselves.
Like Fernando, I'll post my questions in separate threads. =)

Thought I'd better post on here and say a "Thanks" and please don't equate any silence on my part for lack of interest.
I have to spend almost every waking hour on my day-2-day business so it doesn't leave me much time to get as involved as I used to be.
So thanks to everyone for contributing and to Ghosty for all his help too ... nuff respect!
Cheers
Nick :o)
I lecture in computing and mathematics in the Business School at Birmingham City University (UK). I have an ongoing problem that there's not enough time to explain one-to-one the basics of maths to first years unless I could somehow invent a 97 hour day and eighteen day week. I have to use other methods.
One of these is video, either shooting me doing something or by a means like CamStudio to pick up on screen actions. My skills are not so smooth that I can speak a commentary and do the action at the same time (but I can just about walk and talk) so I envisage a load of screen vid being captured and then edited to include voiceovers and incorporating other video as necessary. I'm also using it for Excel, Microsoft Project, Word, Powerpoint, Publisher and things that can be better illustrated by practical example. In order to teach maths I'm recording actions in Geogebra - something that I can use to illustrate mathematical functions.
I downloaded CamStudio some time ago but am only starting to use it to any extent as my teaching has been extended because of cover for sick colleagues.
One problem with any video on our network is download speed and lack of effective streaming capability, so it looks like I'll be cutting DVDs to run locally. I do not like running postage stamp sized video as you can't see as much detail when you need to.
Now if I just had more time ....
