woo, if I'm not too late,, would recommend VisiCrop

The difference is quality!...

PNG's look better, use transparency better but take more space.
Later versions of Internet Explorer have problems recognizing the PNG transparency but GIF...

Windows Movie Maker likes WMV format

so you need to convert MOV to WMV
for this task have a look at VidCrop

agree

Try SkypeCap (http://www.skypecap.com/). Userul tool. Records audio & video conversations. It's a pity but it costs. But to tell you the truth I don't know anything free & worth recorder.

Don't do this, not because of RAM Memory.
I used Vista a week & it have many probelms. Now I re-install XP & wait for the upgrade service pack.

It doesn't matter on wich program you'll start practising.
It all depends on:
1. your will force;
2. people who surroud you;
3. company where you work.

it depends on:
1. your knowledge, will force
2. people who surround you
3. company where you work

And what's about the program called VidGIF (http://www.geovid.com/VidGIF/)? I've tried it recently and fully satisfied with it's quality.
