Easy Screencast Recorder / Re: LATEST VERSION INFO THREAD - Easy Screencast Recorder - v1.12.01 - Apr 22, 2015

Ok the very early alpha downloads are:

Note this is just an early alpha, it's going to be improving frequently and is not yet very useful or easy to use.


The biggest glaring weakness of the current version is that the compression settings are hard to configure and some do not work well, so it's hard to get it set up for recording good quality small files.

General Software Discussion / FreewareGenius on the best free disk imaging programs
« Last post by mouser on November 09, 2012, 03:48 AM »
Another great roundup from our friends at FreewareGenius -- this time comparing free disk imaging tools.

This article aims to find out which free disk imaging software is the best . To answer this question we conducted head-to-head tests on four of the best free disk imaging programs that are available on the internet: Paragon Backup & Recovery 2012, DriveImage XML, Easeus Todo Backup, and Macrium Reflect.

I have same settings as you but I used webm/google codec for the Video Codec Engine.  Not sure if it has any effect at all.

New version up that fixes recording of compressed files -- it was completely borked in previous version.
(For now the compressing settings are still completely complicated and confusing -- I hope to fix this soon -- but at least they work now).

Try ASF9 recording mode files for really small files.

many things are possible.. right now my #1 goal is to fix some bugs with working with compression codecs and saving to non-avi containers.

Lice looks nice.

I recommend anyone who wants to use it also install a free lossless codec that is optimized for screen recording:

as a plugin to SC is a niche in itself
ah yes, thanks for reminding me -- that was the main point of this after all.

the one thing this tool makes it very easy to now do is record a screencast and then quickly extract frames from it as individual images.

Sorry I didn't mean it could be found in a few seconds, it would take some detective work and thinking.  There is no link anywhere for it, and there is nothing in this thread to tell you how to find it.. You have to think outside of thread :)

But honestly don't waste your time, I will be sharing links to official new beta later tonight.  I just thought I would give those of you who were bored and wanted a little detective adventure something to do..

Teaser Alert:

By the way, you shouldn't bother to try to find it because i will be updating it more and providing necessary instructions on how to use it.. but clever folks should probably be able to find a download for the beta right now.  ;)

That reason also occurred to me for not using "Simple" in the name.

The awful truth is that if you want easy and simple screencast recording and sharing, there are already some great options (Jing, BB Flashback Express, CamStudio, etc.), so I'm really not sure what niche this tool serves.. But maybe it will find one before all is said and done..

New screenshot:

Notice that I did away with the single-window tabbed interface, which I have a sweet spot for, in favor of a more functional small main control window and accessory resizable preview window.

Or what about:
"Easy Screencast Recorder"

That's my current favorite.

Some great name ideas here.. I'm partial to the short ones like QuickCast,EasyCaster,EasyCast, etc. but those have all been used already by other software products, so I think it's going to need something more unique..

Something with "cast" in the name would be a good idea, and something with simple/easy in the name would be good too.

What do you think about "Simple Screencaster"?

Mouser's Zone / Re: Mouser's Election Predictor - A Memory from 2004
« Last post by mouser on November 08, 2012, 04:56 AM »
A quick comment about Nate Silver's work, and similar work.

The trivial thing that he does, which my Election Predictor did, is Monte Carlo simulation to predict the presidential election winner by taking the odds of winning each state and then running thousands of simulations to see how those state odds affect the overall winning odds (This is what my World Cup Predictor does also).

That's not a very impressive thing to do -- it's fairly straightforward and simple -- so you won't be surprised to find out that the pundits on tv are oblivious to this and prefer to just "go with their gut" when making predictions.

The *SIGNIFICANT* and non-trivial part of what Nate Silver does is combine lots of ever-changing state-wide polling data in smart ways and properly weight this polling data.  That's the hard part and that seems to be one area where Nate Silver knows what he is doing -- and that's the part that requires real domain expertise and good judgement.

Post New Requests Here / Re: Modified URL Sniffer
« Last post by mouser on November 07, 2012, 10:33 AM »
Welcome to the site -- glad the program is useful.

I think the idea of adding some additional smarter filters to URL snooper is a great idea.. I just have to think about how easy it would be to add the exact kind of filter you want (to only show web page requests but not the urls on a page..)..  Let's think and talk more about it though because I really like the idea of adding some more useful filters that can be chosen.

Mouser's Zone / Mouser's Election Predictor - A Memory from 2004
« Last post by mouser on November 05, 2012, 11:41 PM »
On the eve of the 2012 election I thought I would bring up a memory of mine.

This application precedes the creation of DonationCoder by a few months: Released in 2004 was my "Mouser's Election Predictor".

"MEP is a program for estimating the likelihood that a given candidate will win the United States Presidential Election based on estimates of how each state is leaning, and taking into account the electoral college all-or-nothing voting system.  It lets you fill in a table of how likely each state is to vote for a given candidate, and based on these numbers, calculates the odds that the different candidates will win. It can also use poll results to estimate probabilities.  It can be used on election night as states results come in to constantly give you an updated estimate of your candidates chances."

Read the online help file from 2004: here.

Nowadays there are great online sites that run essentially the same Monte Carlo electoral college simulations and show results online, e.g. Nate Silver's 538 Blog.
