OT: Building Video/Audio Training Programs of Desktop and Web Applications

[Robert L Mann]

Hey, all those multimedia gurus....


My supervisor asked me to make a training video of our applications.


He likes the results that the virtual training company... www.vtco.com produces and so do I. What are they using to

produce such fine quality?


I just do not know what software to use to effectively record our 'how to... applications' from a desktop in quicktime format

and then host it on our site. I have tried many methods already by doing screen captures; however, the development time is too consuming.

Our bandwidth should not be a concern; although, I am interested in knowing about the traps of this kind of development. 


I am interested in producing this content because I can gain more flexibility of hosting the content via a

 java tree structure and embedding the quicktime into flash thanks to www.wildform.com (flix). (No plugins/ no players needed... just the standard)


Any help is appreciated.
