I still get about 1 crash/hour. Until Malc can program in SM better debugging additions, I will need to use a screen movie capture software so Malc can repeat my steps exactly. I will need the following features: * Good resolution: So SM's wires can be clearly seen. * Audio capture * show my key-presses on the screen as a pop-up (could use separate program for this) * show my mouse presses & location as a highlighted area (I usually see a circle)

If you know a better forum to ask this question, please let me know. cheers

Camtasia is great at that. It will fill all of your demands and then some.

...hhmmm, strange. last night i tried to use camstudio to make a small tutorial and it Looks like there is a problem with camstudio and/or SM(or i make something wrong). i´ve noticed this before in exported Exe, too. the problem is: for some reason camstudio saves only a black video when i try to capture any GUI Animations inside SM workspace OR in exported EXE. In the Camstudio Preview Window everything is fine and i see the animation that i´d like to record but the video file was only black. I use Camstudio a lot and this never happend to me before . 😕

can anybody reproduce this problem?

Maybe a little late but Freez Screen Video Capture is also a nifty little tool for this:

I found this after having some trouble with Camstudio and my audio driver.
