Notes on Audio and Videocasting
Just notes - because it's good to share
Windows
First step: recording audio. See Audacity.
Second step: recording both sides of a conversation. There's a bunch of 3rd party applications. See http://webcastacademy.net/presentations/upei2007
http://labnol.blogspot.com/2006/06/how-to-record-skype-conversations.htm
Third: Streaming
None of these programs capture both ends and push it out.
Use Virtual Audio Cables - Tools

Then streams out to shoutcast server using simplecast. (Or an open source program called icecast (but it doesn't support mp3 well))

ReplyDeleteawesome for recording even round table talks, radio quality, goes for 200 bucks

I have Jing, but prefer Screencast-o-matic.com. Why?
ReplyDeleteJing: 5 minute limit (right?)
SOM: 15 minutes (pausable)
Jing: download
SOM: web-based
Jing: popup annotations possible? (not sure)
SOM: popup annotations wherever you want them.
Etc, e.g.:
SOM stores your movies on your own channels, allows multiple size embeds (unfortunately iframe format, but oh well), downloads as .mov, and the online screencasts are beautifully high-resolution. Voiceover included, of course.
Thanks for the nice resource. It is nice to share.
(Thanks for Will R's speech video too.)
