Ping THIS!Screen Recording Software - The Best Alternative
If you did not read my previous post about Camtasia Studio 5, you can read it here.
I’m sure many people heard of Camtasia Studio screen recording software, it’s one of most widely used tool people used to create on-screen recording.
There’s an alternative if you want a free version. Techsmith has started this project called "JingProject " more than 1 year back in July 2007. It’s one of the best alternative other than Camtasia Studio.
Jing is both a screen capture and screencasting software under one program. It’s still free at the moment and by default the porgram comes with a screencast account with a 2GB limit.
Usage wise, it’s pretty much self-explanatory where you just select any area with either screen capture or screen recording, the program would let you upload the output to screencast.com with a simple click.
The only downside is that this program only generate flash files (.swf), which other video sharing sites do not readily accept this file format.
Best,

Sometimes Publishing the video as .Flv or .AVi is better to feed people’s needs. Then you can upload the video to video sharing sites like YouTube. For that, Camstudio is nice.

Hi Albert,
Yes, that’s probably the only downside of this tool. Other than that it works like a charms.
