How To Record Your Desktop For Free

A video explaining how to record your desktop and convert it into a small file so that you may upload it to YouTube or share it with others.

Links are below!

Additionally, if you don't have a need to edit your video, simply select X264vfw inside of CamStudio as your video format. I only suggest this for users with quad core, as compression while recording may cause your video to pause repeatedly, or your computer to become unresponsive.

Nice guide... but just for your information, Lagarith Codec will work under 64-bit software. You'll just need to use the manual installation. ;)

@nGAGE0nline I use Windows 7 x64, the installation works fine.

@Bacender can get viruises in your computer by uploading things in youtube yes or no

[Bacender]

@redarmy1313 No... You cannot. Not sure what gave you this idea.
