(EDIT:)
And here's an image I made in paint of what they look like next to each other.
Did I forget to mention the Catalog before? I think I did.

The Joys of CamStudio

I've known about CamStudio for a while (and likely all of you have too), but I never bothered with it because my old computer was too weak. Now that I have my new one, I thought I'd try it out. I think it's absolutely fantastic.

Of course I got down to serious business right away: Making a quick demo video of a PC game to show to some friends who'd never heard of it:
http://bambam.info/stuff/demo1.swf
All of that video is only about 3 MB. I imported a huge .avi into Flash and compressed it. Importing the video clips is pretty easy, so I may use CamStudio more in the future. Go get it, if you can; it's a great free way to demo.

Next part of the plan... is there anything else to change about the overall choices made? How are they to be arranged?
