Re: Making tutorials - your wishlist
Try Debut Video Capture Software. It was free and did more than I expected it too.

In the tutorials, make sure you are using proper practices. I don't want to watch them and then see stuff that is wrong.

Does anyone know of a Ubuntu ogv to (avi or wmv) file converter. If such converter does not exist then are there any desktop record utilities for windows that record both part of the screen that I select and record the microphone at the same time for free? Just needs one of those two programs to be able to finish the first video tutorial. Thanks.
For transcoding media files you're best bet is FFMpeg, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFmpeg

You can invoke it from the command line. If you want a graphical interface, VLC is also Open Source and uses FFMpeg internally.

For recording try camstudio: http://camstudio.org/

I just tried the video capture and the other tools they have, that is some really good stuff. Thanks for recommending it.

I just installed Debut Video Capture and although it works great it won't detect my microphone. Is there something I am missing because attached is the options I used and I tried every combination. I can see that if this software can recognize my microphone it will truly be the best but is useless without audio. Also windows is able to recognise my microphone because when I speak into the microphone I can hear myself in the speakers so it must be just something with the program that I do not yet understand. Please help me to make this program recognize my microphone. Thanks.

Re: Making tutorials - your wishlist
O' Now I've got it working. Turned out I needed to set the sound device to default sound device and the sound input to stereo mix. In addition the manual said to disable or mute devices that are not being used. Always good to RTFM. lol Now I have a lot of recordings to begin. Will let you know how it goes.

Re: Making tutorials - your wishlist
Youtube videos maximum 10 minutes. WHAT!!! Can't they be any longer. Looks like I might need to host these videos myself. Does anybody know if that is 100% true that youtube videos cannot exceed 10 minutes as I am waiting for youtube to process my video although when trying to play it is says can't display due to the length.

I remember reading about that limit. I think you're pretty much bound by it.

Re: Making tutorials - your wishlist
Why not just make one? A simple cms for videos would only take a few hours.

Re: Making tutorials - your wishlist
Vimeo is good for hosting vids (free and paid versions), can't remember if they've got a time limit though.
