This guide reviews screencast solutions exclusively and will concentrate on solutions that are available for the Windows operating system. That does not mean that some programs are not available for other operating systems as well, or available as online services, but the main focus is Windows here. Screencasts are used in a variety of situations. They can be used to create product demonstrations, tutorials, or even game videos that are quite popular these days on video hosting sites such as YouTube. Not every software application is suited for all situations though.

The list is divided into free video screen capture programs and commercial programs.

VIDEO EDITOR NEEDED - Piriform Community Forums - Page 2. OK Chris, I've spent some time on this over the last couple of days, and have it more or less sorted what you can and can't do with Shrink, and how to get around the pause you experience with your conversions.

VIDEO EDITOR NEEDED - Piriform Community Forums - Page 2

I went back to the DVD's I've "doctored" using Shrinks ISO join feature, and with each one the section or scene I've edited out has been at the point of a natural "fade to black" at the start of the unwanted section, and a natural "fade from black" at the end of the unwanted scene. So, although there is a slight pause due to the two joined parts being saved as individual titles, because of the "fade to black" at the join, it seems completely natural, and it's never caught my attention. I therefore did an edit job on a short home movie, and the result was a noticeable join with a momentary freezing of the image.

Not very good really, and not something I would want to keep. DVD43 and DVD43 Plug-in - Download Sites.

DVD Shrink. DVD Shrink is a freeware[1] DVD transcoder program for Microsoft Windows that uses a DVD ripper to back up DVD movies.

The final versions are 3.2.0.15 (English) and 3.2.0.16 (German); all other versions, such as DVD Shrink 2010, are scams.[3] DVD Shrink's purpose is, as its name implies, to reduce the amount of data stored on a DVD with minimal loss of quality, although some loss of quality is inevitable. It creates a copy of a DVD, during which the coding only allowing the DVD to be played in certain geographical areas is removed, and copy protection may also be circumvented. A stamped DVD may require more space than is available on a writeable DVD, unless shrunk. Many commercially released video DVDs are dual layer (8.5 GB); DVD Shrink can make a shrunk copy which will fit on a single-layer (4.7 GB) writeable DVD, processing the video with some loss of quality and allowing the user to discard unwanted content such as foreign-language soundtracks.

If you want to burn MP3 files for playback in an MP3 ready CD player, just add the files in Build mode and ignore this guide. ImgBurn's ability to burn Audio CD's is currently based around the well known 'CUE' (as in 'BIN + CUE') image file format. To burn music files (MP3 etc) you first need to create a CUE file. Top Tip: If you already have a CUE file you should be following this guide instead - The most direct method of doing this involves first switching to 'Write' mode.

To do this, click the 'Mode' menu at the top and then click 'Write'. Then click the 'Create CUE File...' button. Top Tip: This is probably the easiest way, especially if you intend on burning the disc there and then.
