Guys,
I want to make up some tutorials for ProE for our users, and would like to make an mpeg file showing mouse clicks, menu selections, etc. Basically I want to record what I am doing on screen.
Is there any recording software I can use/download to achieve this? It has to be freeware because we have nothing in our budget available to purchase it.
Thanks,
David
Most of the programs I found were time-limited demo's or
shareware trial versions. However, I managed to find one that is freeware -
Bulent's Screen Recorder from:
can crop your movie later.
It may not be the best, but it's free and it'll do.
Ah, you found it. Couldn't remember what the name was but I tried it a year or two ago. It was very slow at screen capture, so the videos were extremely choppy, like one frame a second. I had hoped to do the same thing you're doing ~ making tutorials showing menu picks on actual Pro/e screens. It wasn't close to adequate. Hope it works better for you. Let's hear how it comes out.
Not mpeg, but may be a good option for you
I use Hypercam - works great with PROE.

Easy to do on any SGI box - all the video stuff comes with Irix. If you know anyone locally who is using an Octane and running your version of Pro/e, just run over and knock out your movie .... did something like that when I was trying to get a friend to buy a Spaceball. It was a snap. Kinda fun, in fact.
Too bad the Pro doesn't run on Macintosh, that'd be a nice combination :-(
