<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">The real trick to this is to not show the whole screen for the whole time but to use a tool or method that allows zooming in to relevant areas either while
recording or during post production. My favourite is Camtasia Studio <a href="http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.html">
http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.html</a> but for quick stuff you can also use a pro account on screencast-o-matic $15/yr which also allows zooming and annotation

video, i.e. 1024 pixels will divide by 2 to give a 512px wide film, so if you desktop is 1600 x 1200, does it look good if the captures are scaled down to 400 x 300?</span></p>
