LibCasting

Webinaria appears to be another free program for creating screencasts. I have not tested it yet, but according to its site  it runs on Windows 98/2000/XP/Me/2003/NT/Vista, is freeware, and  “contains NO SPYWARE or ADWARE.” It also claims that it “will not slow down your computer.” It has Flash output, can include audio, and has combined the software with its own hosting. The hosted screencasts follow the typical sharing model of YouTube and many other 2.0 sites. A few recent library examples include a Basic Search Demo and Another Simple Search Demo from the Rockingham Community College Library. Based on these examples, it looks like the Webinaria hosted videos have fairly poor video resolution (like most other shared video sites) and that they are supported by Google ads. The hosting also includes linking URL, embed code, and viewer comment and rating options. If you’d like to try Webinaria, it is available as a 2.5MB download.
