I thought about writing something up, but then I remember that I had purchased the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macheist.com\/\">MacHeist<\/a> Bundle a few weeks back and that came with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ambrosiasw.com\/utilities\/snapzprox\/\">Snapz Pro x<\/a>.  So I decided to take a stab at screen casting.  It turned out to be harder than I anticipated to get a solid pass through.  The final video I published was still not of the quality that I would have liked but maybe if I decide to try it again I will get better at it.  The hardest thing was getting the recording to look good on the flash video sharing sites.  I ended up going with <a href=\"http:\/\/revver.com\/\">Revver<\/a>.  Not because of the monetary aspects, although that is nice, but because it seems to produce the highest quality output.  Unfortunately that wasn&#8217;t automatic.  I originally recorded the screencast at my full resolution, capturing pretty much everything on my screen.  That was a huge mistake, that scaled down to 640&#215;480 for the flash version did not scale very well.  Apparently video is not like picture, where the big images squash well to small images.  Ultimately I ended up recording a 640&#215;480 window of my desktop and I think the quality is acceptable for a tutorial.<\/p>\n<p>Enough rambling about how hard it was to produce this, here is the final product.
