I have to ask, what kind of keyboard do you use during your screencasts? It’s got such a terrific “click” sound to it.

It’s actually a crappy 5 year old eMachines keyboard. In real life, it’s not really that clicky and nice. I think it’s just a combination of the keyboard and my Logitech microphone (which hovers just above the keyboard as I’m recording).

That’s too bad. It almost sounds like you’ve got one of those fantastic old IBM keyboards going into your Mac. The whole time I’m watching either of the screencasts, I can’t stop thinking about that wonderful clicking!

The new screencast uses a different audio codec which doesn’t work with gmplayer on my linux workstation. The previous webcast worked just fine.

The new one looks cool, but I can’t hear anything.

Any chance of re-encoding the audiot the same way you did last time?

That’s weird. The audio is encoded as AAC, which is pretty standard. Funny, I thought more people had trouble with the video last time. I do want good compatibility, though, and can probably re-encode to something else. I did try it in VLC and it worked fine, though.

For some reason I could only get the sound from the movie to work at first (using quicktime 6.? on win xp). It complained of not being able to find the required compressor. I updated to quicktime 7 and it worked OK. I enjoyed the screencast. Good work.

It flickers and crashes VLC for me, in windows 98. Can’t upgrade to QT7, as that’s XP-only. Sad.
