Also - possibly try FRAPS screen capture software (make sure the SW window is 640x480 though, otherwise you lose bits in the AVI, they may have a larger resolution version by now?). Something like DIVX is good for reducing the size of the file afterwards. They are both small…

Please check the Techsmith website for their compressed screen capture software. I believe that an eval copy can be downloaded.



We use it for this purpose if the client dowsn't have a speedy web connection for a web type meeting.

Hello- If you have PhotoWorks, don't you also have SolidWorks Animator. You can record .avi files using Animator. Best Regards, Devon T. Sowell

We have Photoworks and I thought I could make a .avi file but I don't find anything in the help files.

SW 2003 added both the motion simutator and cosmos express, but I am not sure if you can record it's output from SW.

We have Photoworks and I thought I could make a .avi file but I don't find anything in the help files.

If they have a faster internet. An option is to do a WebEX I have done this with my VAR manytimes. It costs money(I don't know how much) but you sure could lookinto it.

their sales number is at 1-877-509-3239 or +1-408-435-7048 With this you could just share your desktop, then they can see everything that you are doing until you close the session.

maybe you could use a screen capture program like Camstudio - free!
