To me, its all depends on the ability and standard of the user to learn and operate a system as wise as that person is. It is as simple as that one can learn how to get paid by making or writing an article on the internet but ability to monetize it in volumes is altogether different kinds of guts.

The more the audience the more the sales funnel grows; the heavier the sales funnel the heavier the chances of monetizing them.

Testimonials

“ The Good

With CamStudio you can record all of your screen or just a certain region defined by a window. The video you make can have a timestamp, caption and a watermark. Recording can be preset for a certain amount of time. Movies recorded in AVI format can be converted into Streaming Flash -SWF - file format. The application can highlight left or right mouse clicks.

The Bad

Help menu is unavailable and there are no hints in the program as well as explaining the options you have to choose from. The interface can be redesigned to make the software more appealing. As is a very easy to use program for all types of users, this is only to a certain extent because not all of us know how to choose the best video and audio settings for our needs and no hints are given at all.

The Truth

CamStudio is a useful application for home-making films, especially tutorials. It has lots of options the user can customize. It is Open Source so there is no need for money to be paid. There is a lot of customizing available and choices to make, like preset the recording time of user-defined screen region or watermark your video. It helps you greatly in creating tutorials highlighting the mouse clicks with customizable colors, and that is indeed an important feature.”

Look at another testimonial:-

“You have probably encountered different video help files and asked yourself how they had been made. Or maybe you want to see if someone has gone through your computer files while you had a break. A simple way to do this is checking the CamStudio open source application. Mainly designed for building tutorials, CamStudio records all audio and video activity from your screen. But the area of use does not stop only there, as you can record just a certain area of your desktop.

The screen and video annotations can bring a nice touch for your movie, improving the quality of expression. The application is saving the video in standard AVI files, but using its built-in SWF Producer you have a choice of converting them to bandwidth-friendly Streaming Flash videos (SWF file format).

With this program there is not a lot expected from your input.”

Testimonial 1:

“Screencasting is an art. When done right, it's a thing of beauty. Let me start off sharing a screencast created by two graduate students, Ms. Shuer and Ms. Johnston, in an educational technology class I teach at American University, in Washington DC. These screencast makers are high school math teachers in the District of Columbia public schools. The screencast they created for my class, the first screencast they ever made, is exemplary. They used CamStudio to create it.” – Phil Shapiro, PC World.

Testimonial 2:

“It took me a long time to test CamStudio and it was because of all the bad reviews that I've read I figured why bother.

Well I decided to try the 2.0 version and with a little fine tuning I found that it is by far the best video capture available.

I did try this beta version here but don't like it one bit.

This review is for the 2.0 , and like I said it can be obtained at the CamStudio site

I tested the 2.0 in XP , Vista , and Windows 7-64bit , and it works perfectly in every one of my machines .

First of all if you want a very good video you need to also install CamStudios lossless codec (available at their site).

I think that was the gripe of a lot of users , but with this codec the picture really sharpens up.

This Codec will install in XP and Vista but not Windows 7 , but no problem because I'll tell you what to use in 7 also.

Cons

NONE if we're talking CamStudio 2.0 , this new beta is for the birds.

Summary:

OK I ran out of space up there so I'll spell out what to use in each OS.

One note first : This comes with several codecs already installed ,and I would never use the Microsoft video 1 codec , and the reason being is that it creates a Huge file .

On XP and Vista = Use the lossless codec if you want a better quality video but a slightly bigger file , of if you'd like a smaller file with a decent picture use the Cinepak codec by radius ( also pre installed in 2.0 )

On Windows 7 64bit = I stick with the Cinepak codec ,it does a pretty good job and the file isn't huge.

You can use the Microsoft video 1 codec but it will be a much larger file.

The reason I don't use the lossless codec here is because it won't install in Windows7 64bit.

Now here's the best news of all, and partially why I say CamStudio is the Best to use.

CamStudio WILL NOT install a freakin Toolbar or try to highjack your home page , and if you read my other reviews here about a couple of the more popular video recorders you'll see what a pain in the butt they are and the massive problems one in particular causes.

I won't mention the names here but my reviews are available to see here at C/Net.

CamStudio 2.0 is Safe , it's hassle free , and the company won't disrespect you by hijacking your fringing home page or by installing a hated and unneeded toolbar.

And one more thing , in a few reviews about other Video recorders it made it sound like all you had to do was click no and they wouldn't install. BS

PS: I forgot to note RECORD TO AVI”

Testimonial 3:

“CamStudio does work with Windows 7. As I write this post on an external monitor on my Windows 7 Pro system, I am also doing a screen capture on the laptop internal screen. I generally use version 2.6b r294, although occasionally I'll need to have version 2.0 up too.

Terry Britton, our resident expert, recommends xvid as the preferred codec. He and another member ran a series of tests to determine the best combination of quality and small file size so that the recording doesn't exceed AVI's 2GB maximum size” –Jo, CamStudio Support Forum

“"Great, Simple and Easy but it slows a little computer"

November 3, 2010  |   By capitanflorius

Version: CamStudio 2.5 beta

Pros

Good software for registering in file video all what happen on screen.

Once it is stated it works very well. It makes a temporary file up to we decide for finishing register, then it need give a name and file is saved in "document" as default

Cons

None at this moment

Summary

Language supported english & german.

Useful software, must have for all users.”

Testimony 5:

“The mouse cursor is important especially when we are creating tutorials or presentations, because we want others to see what buttons we are pressing or what functions we are calling. If necessary, the mouse cursor can be hidden within the recorded area, or else you can choose it to be a custom one from a file or from CamStudio. To be more obvious for your viewers you can highlight it, change its color and/or its shape.

If you think a sound will suit better to your movie file, adding it from your microphone is not a complicated job. But when playing with the sound option you might get the feeling the program is asking too much from you. It is indeed easy to use, but not easy to understand as a novice user may find it hard to comprehend the set of options in Recording Format drop down menu, or what Audio Compression Format is best for him. On the other hand, as a professional, you can even interleave video and audio at a preset interval, use MCI (Media Control Interface) method for audio recording or enable the auto-pan effect and decide on its speed interval.” Editor- softpedia.
