Anyone know what Application Allan is using for the screencasts? I'm on short notice here and need to make several for a little "teaser". Can't seem to find one I actually like.
Regards, Eric
Your best bet is Snapz Pro X -- it's not free but it's very slick and easy learning curve.

Sean,
I tried that a while back... but it had the funky sprite (or whatever it's called) issue with cursors on the intel macs.
Still the case?

It is, sadly. This application is the single biggest reason I still own two computers. :(
They keep saying they'll fix it by the end of the summer...

I liked iShowU much better:

Better interface, easier to handle, IMHO. Don't know which one Allan uses though. Oliver

I use iShowU... there's cursor lag and it's pretty high CPU usage on my 1.33ghz PowerBook G4... but it's a nice app.

The bigger question is what audio and video settings are used.
video: apple animation codec audio: IMA 4:1, I think.
Lately I have switched to h.264 and AAC. One can’t change audio encoding with Snapz Pro X (AFAIK) and using h.264 directly (when saving) doesn’t give a very good ratio [1].
So the last one I did with Snapz Pro X was post-transcoded to AAC/h. 264 (I saved it using highest quality I think with animaiton or graphics [2]). This resulted in 30 MB for 8 minutes. But strangely I recorded in 800x600 yet the result is 1187x890.
The Objective-C Part 2 screencast was done with iShowU, here I saved in raw and then encoded it afterwards which resulted in roughly 12 MB for 12 minutes. So that’s pretty good. The movie ended up as 627x470, this was also recorded as 800x600. So not sure what’s up with that.
iShowU had the problem that the mouse pointer was a few seconds behind the actual action -- I don’t know if this has since been improved, if not, it’s not really a candidate for movies which use the mouse.
The ability to save in raw and then use Quicktime to post-process it was however luring.
[1] The audio codec may have affected my judgment here. [2] One of them only supports 256 colors, so not that one.

If you download iShowU version 1.14 they have fixed the mouse issue. In the mouse settings you can choose "As frames are captured" and it will capture the cursor just as you'd expect (in sync and with cursor shadow). Since this addition, I have purchased it and can finally get rid of the non-universal SnapzPro.
