DFKI’s MEDICO Semantic Search Demonstrator »

Creating Screencasts with Windows XP

1. Download and install the latest version of CamStudio (development version available here)

2. Download and install the latest version of the CamStudio Lossless Codec to have support for RLE encoded images.

3. Generate screencasts. Do not convert them with the converter offered by CamStudio. For me, the quality of the generated .flv file was not acceptable.

4. Download and install a proper AVI to FLV converter. I am currently using the Imtoo FLV Converter.

5. Convert your AVI files using maximum video quality and video resolution auto.

6. Download flvplayer.swf by Fonas Eberle.

7. Generate an HTML page containing the following source code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Semantic Annotation Example</title>
</head>
<body>

<p><embed src=”flvplayer.swf” FlashVars=”file=screencast-annotate1.flv&autoStart=true” quality=”high” width=”1024″ height=”768″ name=”flvplayer” allowScriptAccess=”sameDomain” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” pluginspage=”http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer” /></p>
</body>
</html>
