Producing a Podcast

As I mentioned in my last podcast, I have been using Viddler to host video tutorials for an online class that I am teaching. To create the video, I am using an old HP laptop running a FREE screen capture program call CamStudio. Because of the age of the computer and lack of power, I need to keep these recording as simple as I can. So I run CamStudio as I talk over the presentation. The down side to this method is that it does not allow for any editing...if you make a mistake, you record it all again. Now there are higher end programs that do screen capture, and allow you to edit and add vocal tracks and annotations, but there is a larger price tag with these tools. Also, these tools require more ram and processor speed.
