MasterPlanSoftware:I don't know about you, but I wouldn't have to type more than the first few letters... Well, no, me neither, but I didn't want to complicate the issue. The three steps I've listed were also in the SSDS method- I wanted to make it as clear as possible that using SSDS for this was COMPLETELY SPAKTARDED. I'm still not fully confident that Swamp will agree that 8 is a larger number of steps than 3, however. He did insist that 2 minutes was quicker than 1 second a few pages back...

Re: Cam Studio will show who is quick.
SpectateSwamp:I keep all my passwords this way. No need to remember them or make them all the same. When you have SSDS. I don't understand... you're saying SSDS lets you take control of your passwords? I didn't realise that! How do you do it? Can you make a video demo of SSDS being used for passwords please? I need a video to understand it.

Re: Why is Everybody so clueless on the importance of Desktop Search to the Masses?
Benn: WWWWolf:*weep* But I don't have a camcorder! This challenge is entirely unfair!
Like I said, there must be plugins that'll do this - a combination of the "BlairWitch" screen-jiggle, some lens-flare and a "monitor surround" framing device. Maybe somebody fancies knocking together the complete "SwampyCam" filter.
I went through the filters in Cinelerra CV and couldn't find any - though I suppose it's possible to make them with some jiggling...
Anyway, I got sort of inspired to make another video. Regrettably, Swampy's videos are not very marketable. These days, you need to have catchy melodies, meme factor, predictable humour and like! So, I made another video. (I figured this thread can't possibly go any weirder!) Probably much better at spreading the gospel of Desktop Search! And it wasn't even hard to make!
Now I just have to get this bloody earworm off my ear. Out, worm, out!

Re: Cam Studio will show who is quick.

Yeah, I have Keepass for that. I keep my passwords on my smartphone, and it syncs with one laptop's USB drive as a backup. This drive has also Keepass when no installer is needed, so it is perfectly portable for any computer. And on my smartphone I have a Keepass port that lets me read my passwords from my smartphone.
All my passwords are therefore encrypted, with only one weak point: my master password. I'm willing to accept that tradeoff in return for more flexibility. You wouldn't have much use of my passwords anyway without the right access.

wooter: Thanks for wasting my time. That didn't even have any shaking, manual zooming, or pixelation. Nor did it have someone who sounds like buffalo bill narrating. Next time, try harder.

You are right. That video is crap. Back to using the CamCorder I guess. the avi looks much better before it is uploaded.

Ugh. Did you know that you can, like, tune the program settings? Rudimentary knowledge of video bitrates might come handy to avoid tons of recompression artefacts... certainly easier to avoid than tons of artefacts, moire effect and extra pixelation introduced by the digital-analog-digital roundabout way.
Probably what others have been saying all along, but hey.

You have obviously elected to mess around with it's settings to make a wretched video so you have an excuse to do more retarded camcorder videos.

Just saying Cam Studio is ok for local demos but not for uploading to the net. I didn't mess around with anything. You are so smart. You show me a clear cam studio session. and some notes please. I'm gonna tape that damn camcorder to my head so I can get the areas of the screen I want. Maybe CamCorder Cap
Just striving to become better and better.

spenk:How on earth did you get a screen capture program to look so blurred? By the way VB5 isn't portable to any non-windows os and it isn't seeming particularly fast at doing day to day tasks either.
Obviously I was going too fast for Cam Studio. What else could mess up such a good program? If you want to see fast I'll have to do another hands free CamCorder in hand video. I'll set pause to 1/2 second and search the source.txt for mcisendstring. It will be just pop pop pop up comes the screens. Searching huge files like this group is talking about is pure silly. Even for me. Why not make the file 200GB or 300GB? You dumb sob's?

SSDS is fast I didn't say I was
wooter:Hah! I thought what you did was slow and had unnecessary steps and key combinations.
That was one of my famous First takes. I did get going pretty good near the end though.

Even for me. Why not make the file 200GB or 300GB? You dumb sob's? It was blurred even on the bits that were static, so I really doubt it was down to speed... Please don't use a camcorder or at the very least invest in a tripod and turn the autofocus off. Just because you do not search certain types or sizes of file doesn't mean other people do not want to. If you had even bothered to respond to my suggested challenge the download was under 6M and when extracted it was approx 22M - where is the problem there? Your source is a single file and not very large, a real project would normally consist of more than one file and quite frankly Visual Studio itself searches better than SSDS (it provides context such as is a line a method call or a method declaration for starters).

Screen Re-Shoots just work
Admit it. Screen Re-Shoots just work. The purists will yap and yap about resolution, pixelation, artifacts and moire but the fact is getting in close to the screen, makes the resultant uploaded video readable. Thats the bottom line. Re-Shoots do the job I'll find that ant colony video (demo25_pict01) and do a re-shoot in slow motion close up and hands free so I don't shake like an pathetic old man.
I STILL CAN'T CHANGE MY PROFILE INFO. WHO IS IN CHARGE HERE.

Haha, right. That is how everyone else is doing their video so perfectly. You got us! We didn't want to let you in on our secrets. SpectateSwamp:I'll find that ant colony video (demo25_pict01) and do a re-shoot in slow motion close up and hands free so I don't shake like an pathetic old man.
Oh boy! I can't wait! SpectateSwamp:I STILL CAN'T CHANGE MY PROFILE INFO. WHO IS IN CHARGE HERE.
You are, apparently.
