Screen Recording for

PoD · 28 Jul 2010 at 12:34

Hello,

I am trying to use Windows 7 to record some videos of my screen for instructional videos.

I want to grab the whole screen or at times parts of it and to be able to annotate parts of it.

Oh and it has to be free and not contain watermarks

Can anyone please assist?

Do these allow annotation, so I can add text and things on top after?

Jing is what I use. An example of it in action would be here: http://vimeo.com/9985225

SnagIt, version 9 now i believe, useful program for part/all, live.recording/ compressing what you've done, record raw or in any codec you want.

Wow. Pay for a Jing subscription and _still_ be limited to five minutes of video. Almost worthy of starting a rant thread to specifically bash other software restrictions.
