, 02:14, 1 March 2017→Creating a video resource using a screen-casting tool - RecordMyDesktop
Screen casting is also a very simple yet powerful way of creating a video resource. The RecordMyDesktop software records the computer output display as the video and audio. This can be used to record the functioning of a software or any educational application. In addition to the audio played on the computer as part of the running of the application, additional audio spoken and provided as an input to the computer can also be recorded as a part of the video. You can use RecordMyDesktop to create OER videos. Make sure you are not displaying copyright material on the screen when recording the video. If you record any copyright material in the video, it will be a copyright violation. Select <u>Applications → Sound & Video → RecordMyDesktop</u> to open Record My Desktop.

|The better the quality of video and audio, the bigger will be the size of recorded file. You can adjust video and audio quality (and consequently size of the output video file) by adjusting the slider near the top right of this window. (Tip - Video Quality of 50% is good enough for most purposes and will keep file size lower).<br>
|You can also select the window of the screen which you want to record. Click on <u>Select window</u>, you will be asked to grab the area to select. You can select only that part of the screen that you want to record. This is useful if you are opening photos or playing a video on only part of your screen and want to record that part only.
