Screen capture as video?

David_UK · 11-05-2005, 12:05 PM

I can use photo deitor software to capture an area of the monitor display as a graphics file. I'd like to be able to capture an area of the screen as video so I can demonstrate tasks in a presentation.
Can anyone advise a FREE application that can do this? I suppose image quality is not crucial. Thanks guys.

There is a freeware program called Camstudio that does what you want. But i cant find any mirros for it. It seems its been stopped, but somewhere should have it, if you be persistant
