These sound like great tips to help anyone trying to get the most out of Windows Movie Maker, which really is a very capable free app includced with Windows (and now available online as a Microsoft 'Live' product). I ultimately ended up going with Camtasia, so I can now record, edit, and produce high resolution video with ease, but of course, this was at a cost (about $180 for educators).

I ended up using screenr, downloading the .m4v, converting with "freevideoconverter" from koyotesoft to a .avi. I guess I didn't notice the quality problem, but I'll check again. And I'll probably buy the Pinnacle Studio to get more editing options. My big questions is: do you know anyway to also get audio from the screen you're casting (not just from your mic) - without having to hold the mic down to your speakers??

Thanks for bringing it up - it's certainly an important distinction! Of course, it does leave me wondering if one would experience a similar issue with iMovie?
