Screencast - Optimal Windows Media Encoder settings

Here's a screencast showing how to set up Windows Media Encoder for optimal screencasting.

The first thing I did when I heard about screencasting was try to find what tools were out there. Turned out Windows Media Encoder fit the bill quite nicely - being free and all.

The next step was to figure out how to set it up nicely - it has the proverbial 101 options so I went searching and found this blog entry by John Howard (no - not the prime minister of Australia) : http://blogs.technet.com/jhoward/archive/2005/01/24/359391.aspx
But the irony was - he didn't create a screencast showing how to set it up!

So I thought I'd do it myself as my first screencast. Hope you enjoy it!

I thought about it (recording a blogcast), but didn't want to be too "incestual". Nice work though.

So what's your next blogcast going to be about....?

Cheers,
John.
