Ask HN: Screencast software for demos?
7 points by void_star 15 years ago | 10 commentsLooking for screencast software for PC. What do people recommend?
- Gormo 15 years agoIt's not a well-known feature, but you can actually use VLC (http://www.videolan.org) for screencasting.
Go to Media > Open Capture Device > Capture Device, and select Desktop. This will open your desktop as a video source.
Then you can either use VLC's streaming feature (Media > Streaming) or record the desktop to a file by enabling recording controls (View > Advanced Controls).

- nedwin 15 years agoI just made one using Screenium for the video, audacity for audio and iMovie for editing on the mac. Went pretty well, would recommend.
