How to do your screencast

please add your suggestions on how you did your screencast. Please try to use and suggest Free Software.

Linux

Mac

Windows

Where to publish your screencast

Actually main free video hosting are using a strong dowsampling that does not allow a good video quality to present screencast.

Then you'll need to find your own web hosting or a free one that can host just the video without resampling.

Suggestions

  • What about distribution the videos with a bittorrent-style distribution? Maybe OSGeo could provide the infrastructure for this?
