BibleWorks7 - New user tutorial for OT in NT work

[MGVH]

I never tried a full screen capture. I was trying to keep file sizes as small as possible, so I just used the BW window or defined a small region.
As noted, I also ended up using the high quality in order to be able to read the text.

A few things to try:
1) On playback, enlarge the Windows Media Player (or whatever you are using). It seems to scale rather well.
2) I have no idea why, but the videos actually look better if you use IrfanView instead of Windows Media Player. IrfanView is a free, downloadable image viewer that handles a ton of formats including WMV.
3) The only other thing I can think of is to use Windows Magnifier (built-in to WinXP, free accessibility tool). Float the window and size to your BW screen. When recording, define a region to include BW and the magnifier window. Here's a short example.

(I suspect that you weren't getting things to work using IE7 because the browser cached the old file and wouldn't actually download the new one.)

Thanks for the tip. I'll check into this. IE7 loads a bazillion times faster. I prefer using it.

The only tutoral I've tried is wink: Here. Can't really say that I know how to us it yet; but it's on the Goals for This Year list. I will be checking out the WME one you mentioned. I took a look at Webinaria - didn't like it too much.

Thanks again. I've got your stuff on my hard drive. It will be a part of my resource video library.

Thanks for the pointer to Wink. I had not known about it. It actually looks quite good. I posted a bit more about it on my blog.

.... I posted a bit more about it on my blog.

Nice job. I liked the other things you mentioned, especially the open source editor. I've been looking at a few on Download.com and Source Forge.

If this kind of thing (tutorial videos) gets easy enough, I could see BW folks sharing thier favorite short cuts and helps, much in the same way as the "Cool Screen Layouts" section.

If you don't have your own url, it looks like you can create your own separate "author" page (I think it's called) on youtube. Then you're not paying bandwith fees and folks can view and even download them, should they want to. There are start-up companies that post all thier media on youtube for this very reason.

Just a thought.


Thanks again!

I just posted on my blog some new stuff on screen capture and recording. I've been using Jing (it was either John Fidel or SCSaunders that got me using Jing), and it works great. BUT, I have posted links to obtaining an older (but still very fine) version of Camtasia Studio. You will also find there links to obtaining a free, older version of SnagIt--for screen captures--as well.
