AVI and Flash Conversion Tool
CamStudio
Monday, May 8, 2006 by PoSmedley | Discussion: Community
I am always looking for little toys to play with, and like a lot of people, looking for that 'freeware' version of what I want. Recently, I have been trying to find something that would convert swf files to avi or mpg. Finding freeware for this was one thing. Finding something that was freeware that converted both the movie/images AND the sound was difficult. But I found it.
What is it?
CamStudio is able to record all screen and audio activity on your computer and create industry-standard AVI video files and using it's built-in SWF Producer can turn those AVIs into lean, mean, bandwidth-friendly Streaming Flash videos (SWFs) and turn swf into avi files!
Here are just a few ways you can use this software:
* You can use it to create demonstration videos for any software program
* Or how about creating a set of videos answering your most frequently asked questions?
* You can create video tutorials for school or college class
* You can use it to record a recurring problem with your computer so you can show technical support people
* You can use it to create video-based information products you can sell
* You can even use it to record new tricks and techniques you discover on your favourite software program, before you forget them
AND IT'S FREE!!!!
As far as the audio part, which was important for me, this records from mic OR speaker. Not all sound cards support the 'from speaker' setting, but if my intergrated Realtek'97 can, I imagine a lot of them can.
I just thought I would share this with anyone who is interested or has been looking for such a program. I have SnagIt 8, which can record video's from the screen, but even that doesn't have the 'record from speaker' option.
I found this through Major Geek, and it is adware free and easy to use and totally free. Hopefully, I have made someone's searching a little easier than it was for me.

I double posted by accident. Sorry.
There should be a way to delete a post if you want. Is there?
Another freeware program that would compliment the one that you have listed is the PowerBullet. Click Here It's a flash creator.

Hi,
i want to tell you about programs i use, they're not free, but i use free trials.
they are flash to video encoder and flash to video encoder pro
Link
flash to video encoder is very easy to use, it converts your flash files to any video format, you can change quality, compression, duration, width and hight of your future outputs. as for PRO version, it has much more great options. you can add your logo to ythe output video file, grab images from flash files, make transparent video, burn DVD and so on..
so i advise everyone to try it
