Just had a watch of your video now
@Abarbarian and I can see how it works now, but I'm pretty much a full time W10 user (except for mini servers), so xscreensaver is very unfamiliar to me unfortunately. I'm impressed with that simple screen recoding software though, can YouTube handle mkv uploads or did you have to convert it?
Not sure if YT can handle .mkv. I tried to upload a .mkv version but it seemed to be stuck, however I think that it was just taking a long time to do its thing.
I converted using handbrake to MPEG-4 which gave me a .m4v file and uploaded that. It took quite a long time to upload.
Simplescreenrecorder can record in many different container formats and many different codec formats. I would have recorded in .mp4 but an advisement notice came up "This format will produce unreadable files if the recording is interrupted. Consider using MKV instead" which is what I did.
Trouble is with both simplescreerecorder and handbrake there are so many options and stuff to fiddle with that it is hard for a new user to get a handle on. Finding a clear and easy to use guide is also pretty difficult and you can spend hours on the net trying to find one. It took me some time reading up and setting up to use YT. I would have trimmed the video too but I found that not to be so simple to do on a penguin box, tried out a couple of programs but they just confused me. I recon Windows has easier programs to use for simple video stuff.
That was my first video and I think I will have a read around and try a few things out before I do another one. I fancy doing a series of short videos how to do stuff on good old Window Maker.
