Videos available for download

  • Artikel

I’ve had a few requests for information about the videos on my blog. The two main questions are, “can I download the videos” and “what tools to I use to create the videos”.

To answer the first question. I’ve got all the videos posted for download on the VM page on Partnersource. You can find them here https://mbs.microsoft.com/partnersource/deployment/documentation/howtoarticles/presalesdemokitmdax2009.htm

Scroll down to the tips and tricks section :

For the second question I’ll post a more detailed note on how I do the videos, the end result is Streaming Silverlight which produces great quality. These are the tools I use :

  • Camtasia Studio from TechSmith, you can purchase it from here https://www.techsmith.com/ . I’ve been using Camtasia for close to 7 years now and it’s the best tool I’ve found for screen recordings. I output the video in WMV format. There certainly are many other tools that do this as well but Camtasia is super easy to use and has the ability to record a section of the screen and other nice features.
  • Microsoft Expression Media Encoder 2. With the video created in Camtasia I import into Expression. Expression has a Plug-in for Silverlight Steaming.
  • Silverlight Streaming. You can get free 10G storage account for your videos at https://silverlight.live.com . This is where Expression publish the videos.
  • Windows Live Writer. For posting on my blog, I use Windows Live Writer which has a nice Plug-in to embed the videos from the Silverlight streaming account.

And that’s it, a few steps but easy to do, end result is good quality and flexible. 

Cheers
