Learn To do your own videos with camstudio/Our help

Get Started With CamStudio

Decided that videos may be the way to drive traffic to your website? Good decision! Don't want to lay out a lot of cash for a video program? CamStudio is the way to go.

CamStudio will record your screen videos and output to an AVI file (a basic file you can then edit with Windows Movie Maker) or directly to an SWF file  (Adobe's Shock Wave Flash) suitable for uploading to a website. If you are new to CamStudio, use the "Set Up CamStudio" video at the bottom of this page for your intial settings. Camstudio has a new 2.5 Beta version out that fixes the old problem of not being able to view the videos in Firefox and Netscape.

You can go to http://camstudio.org/dev/ and download CamStudio 2.5 Binaries for free.

You are invited to use the free video at the bottom of the page for directions on how to set up CamStudio. This video along with any CamStudio posts on the EZ4UGuru Blog should get you out of the woods and on your way to dynamite videos.

Hosting

For Hosting I have the highest recommendation for HostGator. They are the only hosting company I have ever dealt with that you can consistantly reach on the phone at any hour for your sales or technical questions. In addition, AWStats is already enabled in your Cpanel so there is no additinal charge for this traffic stats program. Most other hosting companies charge extra to set this up.
